My Heart only Beats for You

Remington's eyes were tightly shut. Natalie monitored him intently and thought that he was asleep. However, he was not.

To be honest, Remington didn't feel sleepy at all. He just went to bed because Natalie wanted him to.

He did not want her to think that he would do something inappropriate to her in his apartment. He just wanted her to feel safe.

Pretending to be asleep was the best and only way he thought of.

Meanwhile, Natalie did not stop applying the wet compress on Remington's forehead.

The coolness on his forehead made him feel much better, and also stopped him from burning up so much.

To his surprise, Remington started feeling a little sleepy.

His eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

This time, Natalie grabbed a brand new towel for the wet compress.

Remington's temperature had finally dropped a little since just now.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

If the fever subsided after a while, then she could leave.

After all, it wasn't appropriate for a man and woman to be alone in a room together.

Suddenly, her stomach growled. It was only then that she remembered she hadn't had dinner yet. Remington too.

When the two of them cback together, she had been so anxious that she did not even care about dinner. Now that Remington had fallen asleep, she didn't want to wake him up.

She decided to order stakeout food. As she fumbled for her phone in her handbag, she realized that it was missing.

She tried searching for it for a long time, but she could not find it.

If that was the case, where did her phone go? Could it be in Remington's car? Wait a minute...? Natalie suddenly froze on the spot as she recalled something important.

She had left her phone in Remington's car together with the necktie she bought for Tobias.

It was Tobias' birthday today! She had promised Hayden she would go to his house at six in the evening to celebrate Tobias' birthday, but she had forgotten all about it after the accident. Natalie slapped her forehead in frustration, her eyebrows knitting in frustration.

She had already promised Hayden. How could she forget about it? She glanced at the time. It was already past seven o'clock, so it was too late to rush over now.

Natalie was in a hurry to call Hayden to explain her situation. She looked around and spotted Remington's phone on his bed stand.

Without much thought, she grabbed his phone and walked out to the living room to call Hayden.

The phone in Hayden's bedroom suddenly rang.

Tobias rushed into Hayden's bedroom almost immediately.

His instincts told him that the call was from Natalie.

His eyes flickered at the caller ID. It was an unknown number, not Natalie.

His racing heart stopped.

Hayden ran into the room and asked, "Daddy, is that Natalie?" Tobias's eyes were filled with disappointment as he answered, "No." Hayden bit his lip and pouted "Is it my classmate? I won't answer it. I won't answer anyone else's call except for Natalie's." Though no one planned to answer the call, the phone kept ringing.

Finally, Cecilia picked up the phone and said, "Hello. Who is this?" "Auntie. May I speak to Hayden?" A female voice asked. Cecilia immediately recognized that it was Natalie's voice.

Her eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Tobias, mouthing, "It's Natalie." Tobias took over the phone without hesitation.

"Natalie," Though restrained, there was a trace of special affection heard in his voice.

Despite the disappointment, there was a hint of joy when he found out it was Natalie who called.

Natalie felt slightly stunned.

She intentionally called Hayden's phone because she wanted to talk to him. However, she didn't expect that Cecilia would pick up the phone and pass it to Tobias.

"I'm sorry," Natalie apologized, "For not showing up tonight." She had promised Hayden that she would come, but she broke their promise. It was her fault.

"It's okay," Her apology wiped away all feelings of despondence in his heart.

"Are you busy tonight?" Tobias asked softly.

Natalie did not know what to answer.

She was indeed busy with something at the moment, but it had something to do with Remington.

Never in a million years would she expect the accident to happen right on the day of Tobias' birthday. She had been too overwhelmed at that time, causing her to totally forget about her promise to attend his birthday party.

"Yes," Natalie whispered, "Can you please let Hayden answer the phone?" Tobias hesitated for a while.

"Okay," He finally said.

He passed the phone to Hayden, gesturing to him to talk to Natalie.

"You're a liar, Natalie. You promised to cand celebrate Daddy's birthday with us. Daddy and Grandma were so happy, and we even decorated our house so beautifully. But you didn't come. I'm so sad and disappointed!" The words ctumbling out of Hayden's mouth at once through trembling lips.

Natalie felt even more guilty now that she heard his shaky voice.

"I'm really sorry, Hayden. Something important cup. I'll make it up to you next time, okay?" She said ruefully.

"How?" "I'll do anything you wantto do, promise!" "I want you to celebrate Daddy's birthday again then," Hayden declared.

Natalie did not hesitate and promised him, "Sure." "Fine, then I'll forgive you this time," Hayden said.

Only after hearing Hayden saying that did Natalie sigh in relief.

They continued chatting for a while before Hayden suddenly asked, "Natalie, do you have anything else to say to Daddy?" Tobias stood anxiously beside Hayden, his eyes gleaming.

"It's alright, I'll hang up then. See you, Natalie," Hayden chattered, then hung up the phone.

The gleam in Tobias' eyes also disappeared along with it.

Hayden shuffled out of his bedroom. Suddenly, he stopped and turned back to check on his phone.

He smacked his forehead and declared, "Something's not right!" Tobias and Cecilia turned their heads in unison to look at him.

Hayden pointed at his phone and Natalie's deduced, "This isn't Natalie's number. It is someone else's. She said she couldn't cto Daddy's birthday party, but who is she with?" Tobias' entire body stiffened.

The blood in his body seemed to freeze when he heard Hayden's words. The hair on his arm stood on end.

After a simple investigation, they found out that the number belonged to Remington.

Tobias had instructed Benjamin to track the location of the phone. Soon enough, they found the signal coming from a high-class apartment somewhere in Agaphen City. It was the place where Remington lived. Tobias felt his boiling blood rush towards his head. He could only think of one thing at this moment. He immediately got into his car, stomped onto the gas pedal, and went full throttle.

He was driving at the maximum speed limit.

Tobias' thoughts were in a mess, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably as he clenched on the steering wheel.

All this while, he kept telling himself that nothing was going on between Natalie and Remington.

At the very least, she did not seem interested in Remington.

However, he could not understand why Natalie was at Remington's apartment at this late hour. She even used his phone to make calls.

It could only mean one thing when a woman was alone in a man's house during this hour.

Tobias' head was spinning, and he was driving on the road at a terrifying speed.

There was a construction site not far away. Hazard tapes and traffic cones were set up around the area to serve as a warning.

But Tobias didn't see it at all.

He was in a trance. At that moment, images of Remington and Natalie flashed in his mind.

The thought of Natalie in Remington's apartment at this hour haunted him to no end.

He could not stop imagining what they were doing at that moment.

Meanwhile, his car was heading straight for the construction site.

By the the realized what was going on, it was already too late.
