Frowning, Natalie replied. “Don’t say stuff like that in front of Elizabeth.She’s already been through enough! Hearing that kind of talk will only make her feel worse.”
Right after she said that, she looked back and saw Elizabeth standing at the door of the doctor’s office, seemingly embarrassed.
“That’s enough.”
Natalie cleared her throat, tugging on Brandon’s shirt and blushing uncontrollably.
Elizabeth probably heard Brandon’s snide remark earlier.
Seeing as her friend looked dispirited. Natalie stood up and tried to explain, “Please don’t take our words to heart. We were just joking around.”
“Honestly, it’s okay.You’re right, anyway.”
Elizabeth looked down, visibly disheartened. She felt really ashamed of herself.
‘I’m so sorry for what happened.This is all my fault.None of this would’ve happened if not for me.I almost put your lives in danger!”
Both Brandon and Natalie had helped her a lot.
If it weren’t for them, she and her aunt would’ve been corpses by now.
Now that she had cairned down. Elizabeth realized that she deserved happened to her. She shouldn’t blame anyone else for all her misfortune.
“Don’t say things like that.Jorge is the bad guy here, not you!” Natalie countered.
She glanced at Elizabeth’s bandaged hands and
Biting her lower l*p. Elizabeth fell silent for seconds
“The doctor said that the injuries are serious and that I needed to remain in the hospital for a few days for further observation.”
She then turned to one of the rooms and said, “Fortunately, my aunt is fine.The doctor said that she’ll be fine once she regains consciousness.”
Tears were welling up in her eyes.
“This is all my- fault.Because of my incapacity to see the truth before, all of this happened!”
Sniffling and looking down. Elizabeth finally fell silent.Natalie wasn’t sure what to do now.She turned to Brandon and pouted at him.She thought that he really shouldn’t have said those hurtful things.
Knowing that he did go too far. Brandon scratched his nose, stood up. and approached Elizabeth.
Thereafter, Natalie held Brandon’s hand.He looked into her eyes, implying that he knew what she was trying to tell him
“I really was just joking around.I didn’t mean any of it.I’m sorry for being insensitive.”
It was rare for him to apologize to anyone, but he had to.
Natalie was upset with him.
In truth, he didn’t care so much about what he had said.
The only reason he helped Elizabeth was for Natalie’s sake.He said those things because he meant them.
But because Elizabeth was his wife’s friend, he thought that he should be nicer to her.
“Take care of yourself. Elizabeth.I’ll assign my men to protect you and your aunt, so you won’t have to worry too much.Jorge won’t have the guts to show his ugly mug anywhere near you ever again.” Brandon remarked sternly
Elizabeth had calmed down, Natalie and Brandon left the hospital.
Their previous encounter was quite awkward, so Natalie didn’t want to stay behind in the hospital any longer and went home with Brandon.
After getting in the car, she asked him about what happened to Jorge.
Natalie was shocked when she learned everything that Jorge had done.She thought that Jorge was the worst man in existence.
“My God, Jorge is the worst! He’ll never change.Elizabeth thought that he’d eventually change himself for the better, but he never will.That man is incorrigible,” Natalie remarked, heaving a sigh.
She looked out the window and stared at the gloomy sky.
Dark clouds roamed the night skies, and it seemed that a heavy downpour of rain was coming.
Meanwhile, Brandon put his hand on his forehead while closing his eyes.
“Jorge will never change.He doesn’t deserve salvation and he sure as hell doesn’t deserve forgiveness.It’s in the nature of humans to be resistant to change.”
Noticing that he was apathetic to the subject, Natalie looked at him and replied, “Brandon, you’ve changed a lot since the first day we met.”
Upon hearing her response, he opened his eyes, seemingly exhausted.
‘I’m nothing like that piece of shit.And all of the changes that happened to me are all because of you,” Brandon remarked.
In his opinion, changing himself for the better for Natalie’s sake was only right.lt didn’t feel exhausting or wrong at all.
However, it was hard to tell just how much he had changed ever since he lost his memories in the past two years.
Just thinking about it put Brandon in a bad mood.
Natalie, on the other hand, had fallen silent.She could tell from his response that he was dispirited.She wondered if Brandon thought that it was bad that he changed for her.
Natalie couldn’t figure it out.
Right when she was about to ask Brandon a question, he turned toward her and asked, “Did I say something wrong?”
Natalie shook her head and whispered, “Brandon.”
She placed her hands on the leather cushion in the backseat to proper herself up.She leaned closer to him and planted a gentle k**s on his l*ps.
Brandon froze for a moment before embracing her and k**sing her back passionately.
When they were finally out of breath, they stopped k**sing.
Natalie rested her head on his ch*st, gently drawing circles on his left ch*st using her fi**ger.
“You have a kind soul, Brandon.You didn’t change for me.I merely found a different side of you.”
The sound of her voice was music to his ears.
Brandon held her hand and planted a soft k**s on the back of it.He then embraced Natalie once more.
After taking her hand back, Natalie smiled before k**sing him again.
Thereafter, they engaged in a luscious, passionate k**s once more.
Gradually, they lost control of their desires.
