Natalie was sent to the hospital.

When Jonathan learned of the news, he was so angry that he stomped on the ground with his walking cane. "Why

did this happen? Even after so many years, nothing has changed! What will happen in the future if things continue

down this path? I can't have someone accompany her for the rest of her life!"

While he was anxious, he also felt sorry for his great- grandson.

It was only natural since Natalie wasn't related to him by blood.

Thankfully, Mark, who had been by Jonathan's side for many years, was around. After Mark saw how furious

Jonathan was, he comforted the latter, "Please don't get angry, Old Mr. Jadeson. Mrs.

Jadeson will no doubt solve this issue."

"Really?" Jonathan was doubtful.

Concurrently, at the hospital, Sasha let out a sigh of relief when she saw life returning to Natalie's face after being

given an IV drip. Then, she turned to her son.

"Did something happen between you and Nat, Matt? Why did she suddenly throw a temper tantrum?"

"1-1 actually didn't say anything special. It's just that, during last night's call, she told me she got ninety- five marks,

and I praised her. Then she said 'that's it?' It made me suddenly recall something... It was a joke I made before."

After understanding what was going on, Matteo told his mother about what had happened honestly.

Sasha was stunned. Joke? What joke? I have a really bad feeling about this.

"Do you know what you mean to Nat for the past three years, Matt? You were the one who avenged her father back

then. She treated you as the only beam of light left in her dark, isolated world. She will take everything you say to

heart."

Matteo's face turned pale as he stood silently.

That problem never crossed his mind.

He recalled that, after he went overseas, in order to ensure that Natalie would focus on her studies and live a

carefree life, he would pamper her and shower her with affectionate words whenever he called.

It was his wish that she would do well since he sincerely cared for her.

However, he never thought that every word he said would be perceived as a promise by her.

"Is this why she has been working so hard for the past three years? So much so that even Nina can't catch up with

her? Turns out, it's because of that joke you told her. What exactly did you tell her, Matt?"

"I told her that, if she got one-hundred marks, I'll take her to continue her education at my place." Matteo scratched

the back of his head as he spoke awkwardly.

The moment he finished speaking, Sasha got so angry that she wanted to hit his head. This is outrageous! Why

does he think this is a good way to motivate her? Doesn't he know that a traumatized child's hope will crumble if

her expectations aren't met? Especially after she hid away from the outside world? It'll make her feel as though she

has been abandoned again, and that darkness is the only thing left in her world.

Sasha took in two deep breaths and made a decision before Natalie woke up. "In that case, then let her follow you

from now on."

"Eh?" Matteo's eyes widened. "You can't be serious, Mommy. I didn't go overseas for fun. I have my duties to attend

to!"

"I know, but since you already promised her, you need to keep your word, otherwise, what do you expect her to do?

She's finally getting better after three years. Do you want her to regress to her worst state again?"

He remained speechless for five seconds. Of course I don't! But taking Nat to study at my place, it's... I'm really

regretting my decision to say that now.

In the end, when Sebastian learned of the whole story, he came to the same conclusion as Sasha, though he

decided to make some extra arrangements.

"Firstly, we'll buy a house and hire housemaids as well as bodyguards for you," Sebastian said.

Matteo still remained silent.

"Secondly, take Nina with you. With her there, you don't need to worry about anything. Nat will be fine as long as

she can stare at your face all day."

Daddy's comments always hit the nail on the head. Matteo had no choice but to agree.

Three days later, when Natalie had completely recovered and learned that she could study overseas at Matteo's

place, a sparkle of light was finally reintroduced to her eyes.

Nina said, "You have quite the nerve. I'm surprised."

Natalie silently shifted her line of sight downward to look away from Nina and stared at a plushie on her bed.

When Nina saw that, she returned to her room without saying anything else.

Once the door was closed, no one realized that Natalie had started packing her books and clothes, even though

there were still a few months before they were going overseas.

By all logic, she should've waited until her exam was over and Matteo had chosen a suitable school for her. The

decision to move wouldn't be finalized until then.

Nonetheless, the little girl was so excited that she was getting really busy inside her room.

At Southeast Astoria, Ian and Susan learned of the mess they had indirectly caused because of their phone call.

As the older brother, Ian felt quite guilty for what had happened.q
