Echoes of a Forsaken Heart novel Chapter 233

Hamilton's gaze instantly darkened.

He glanced at the restroom before asking in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Scarlett's voice was filled with urgency, "I'm not sure about the details. The caregiver mentioned that she took Natalia's mom for her physical therapy session. She waited at the door, but after everyone else came out, there was still no sign of Natalia's mom. That's when she got worried and checked inside, only to find no trace of her. She asked all the doctors, but none of them seemed to notice anything."

Hamilton's expression turned grim, "Don't worry just yet. I'm going to give Baxter Lehner a call."

After he hung up, Natalia had just come out of the restroom.

Seeing his troubled expression, she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Is there trouble at work? Or are you not feeling well?"

Hamilton hesitated to tell her, but he knew it was something that couldn't be kept secret.

"Scarlett just called. She mentioned there was an incident with your mom at the hospital."

Natalia was visibly shocked, her face turning pale.

"What happened? Was there an accident during her physical therapy?"

Tatiana had only started her rehabilitation a couple of days ago.

Given the doctor's warnings not to rush things, Natalia's first thought was that something went wrong during the session.

Hamilton paused for a moment, "Scarlett said she's gone missing."

Natalia was stunned, "Missing? How can someone just go missing?"

Growing anxious, she rushed towards the door.

Hamilton tried to stop her but couldn't.

He quickly changed his clothes and followed her out.

Downstairs, he saw Natalia getting into her car.

He hurried over and pulled her out.

Natalia's face was deathly pale.

Without saying a word, Hamilton led her to his car and carefully buckled her in.

"You're not in a state to drive. Let me take you."

Natalia was already in a panic.

She didn't protest, merely nodding her agreement.

Hamilton's car sped off.

On the way, he called Baxter again.

After the call, he looked at Natalia with a sympathetic gaze.

The woman, pale and leaning against the seat, seemed exceptionally vulnerable.

Suddenly, Natalia turned to him, "When we get to the hospital, could you check in with a doctor?"

Hamilton was taken aback but then smiled, holding her hand.

"Worrying about me at a time like this?"

Natalia felt a sourness in her nose. She was indeed worried.

For some reason, having Hamilton by her side always brought her comfort.

"Hamilton, thank you."

Hamilton frowned at her, "Thank for what? I haven't even done anything yet."

Natalia looked down, not responding, but inwardly she thanked him for being there when she needed someone the most.

When they arrived at the hospital, Scarlett had just parked her car.

The three of them rushed upstairs together.

At the hospital room's door, they found Mason was also there.

Natalia was taken aback.

"President Joyner, what brings you here?"

Mason nodded at Hamilton and then turned to Natalia, "I was passing by and thought to check on your mother, but I didn't expect to walk into an emergency."

Tatiana's caregiver burst into tears upon seeing Natalia.

"Natalia, I swear I never left the therapy room's entrance. I was there the whole time, but I didn't see your mother leave."

Natalia's expression darkened, "Please, don't cry. I'm not blaming you. Can you tell me exactly what happened? From the time you went in to when you noticed she was missing."

"Sure." The caregiver quickly wiped her tears and recounted the events in detail.
