Only then did she see a deep gash on Sebastian’s back. It looked really bad. His torn clothes exposed the scar caused by the fire, and now the new wound marred his skin. Covering her mouth, Natalie looked away, a lump forming in her throat.
His old wound healed not long ago, and now there would probably be a new scar. Thinking of this, Natalie couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.
The ambulance’s siren echoed across the night, its red and blue lights flashing. Natalie sat in the back, holding Sebastian’s hand tightly. She wasn’t badly injured, save for some small cuts and bruises on her knees.
Sebastian, on the other hand, had a serious wound on his back. It hadn’t stopped bleeding, and he hadn’t woken up yet. Beal and
Johanna rushed to the hospital.
“Oh, my God! Are you okay, Natalie?”
As soon as Johanna heard that the cinema collapsed, her heart practically stopped in her chest. It got worse when she couldn’t get through to Natalie. So it was a great relief when she saw her dear daughter safe and sound.
Beal was also on the verge of breaking down. He looked Natalie up and down carefully and wanted to have her examined twice.
“Have another MRI scanning maybe. What if you have internal injuries?” Johanna nodded in agreement.
“Your father’s right. Let’s have you checked again.” Tears welled up in Natalie’s eyes.
“I’m fine, Mom and Dad. It was Sebastian who got badly injured. He hasn’t woken up yet.”
Just then, a nurse came in and put Sebastian on an IV drip. Seeing that Natalie’s eyes were swollen from crying, she tried to comfort her.
“Don’t worry, Miss. The doctor said that this gentleman’s wounds aren’t as bad as they look. He’ll be fine.” Hearing this, Natalie calmed down a bit.
“Thank you. How’re the others from the cinema?” The nurse checked the papers on her clipboard and sighed slightly.
“You two were the luckiest The collapse caused heavy casualties. The ceiling fell right on top of your row, killing the two people sitting next to you. Everyone else was injured, some worse than others. If it weren’t for your husband, you two would have been crushed in an instant.”
Hearing this come from the nurse, Beal and Johanna exchanged glances. They finally knew that it was thanks to Sebastian that
Natalie was alive. In the blink of an eye, Johanna’s attitude toward Sebastian changed completely. Instead of being indifferent, she asked with great concern, “When will he wake up?” .
The nurse smiled apologetically and shook her head.
“We can’t say for sure. But don’t worry. The doctor said he’s fine, so he’s not in any fatal danger.”
At this time, the door to the ward swung open. with her bag in her hand, Lila rushed in with a worried expression.
“I heard that the cinema collapsed. How’s she? Is she okay?”
Just as Lila was about to play the role of a caring sister in front of her parents, her eyes landed on the person lying in the bed. It was Sebastian, not Natalie.
Beal looked up calmly and replied, “Natalie’s fine. Sebastian saved her.”
Natalie glanced at Lila and smiled before turning back to look after Sebastian. Lila froze for two seconds before snapping back to reality,
“Oh, I’m so happy to hear that Natalie’s fine. If anything happened to her, I don’t think Mom and Dad would’ve been able to cope with it.”
As she spoke, Lila approached Johanna timidly.
“I was scared to death when you called me. I immediately cancelled the party with my friends and rushed here.”
Johanna took Lila’s hand and smiled softly. “It’s good that you care about your sister. Sit down and get some rest. You’re out of breath.”
“Nothing’s more important than Natalie’s safety.” Lila said sweetly, but deep in her heart, she was a little disappointed.
When Lila received the phone call fram Johanna, informing her that Natalie was involved in an accident, at the moment, a thought occurred to her. Wouldn’t it be great if Natalie died?
That’d make her the only daughter of the White family again, and her life would be as good as it used to be.
Dazzling sunlight streamed in from the window. The ceiling was snow-white and spotless. The smell of disinfectant in the air was strong.
“I think he’s awake!” Sebastian heard Johanna’s excited voice. Then, he heard Beal’s voice.
‘ll call the doctor. When Natalie comes back from getting breakfast, I’m sure she’ll be really happy!”
The doctor came minutes later. He took out a small flashlight and checked Sebastian’s pupils.
“He’s awake, which means that he’ll be fine. As for when he should be discharged from the hospital, it’ll depend on the wound’s rate of recovery.”
After the doctor left, Johanna immediately approached Sebastian’s bedside and asked worriedly, “How are you feeling? Are you in pain? If you feel any discomfort, I’ll call our private doctor to check on you again.” E
than couldn’t believe his ears. Did he suffer from a head injury as well? Why did his mother-in-law suddenly care about him?
Before he could say anything, Beal handed him a glass of water. “I bet you’re thirsty. Here’s some water.”
Sebastian eyed the glass of water suspiciously, wondering if it was poisoned. It wasn’t impossible that this couple would scheme to get rid of him while Natalie wasn’t around…
“Beal, you’re scaring him.”
Noticing the suspicion on Sebastian’s face, Johanna pulled her husband’s hand away from Sebastian. Then she cleared her throat and said, “Thank you for saving our beloved daughter. In a way, it’s like you saved the two of us. Now that we’ve finally reunited with
Natalie, we’d be destroyed if she was taken away from us.”
