Echoes of a Forsaken Heart novel Chapter 260

Hamilton's eyes held a storm of icy resolve, like a man pushed to his limits with nowhere left to explode.

"When did they notice she was gone?"

"About two hours ago, someone from that side called saying they couldn't find her, and her phone was off too."

Two hours ago, he and Natalia had just left the bar.

Hamilton's gaze was deep and frosty.

Out of nowhere, she disappears, just like that, into thin air.

Could Eveleen really pull that off on her own?

He took a drag from his cigarette, lowering his gaze.

"Trash the old man's crew, and send them back to him as a message!"

"What about Eveleen?"

Hamilton looked out into the night in silence.

After a while, he finally spoke, "First, we search; if that fails, we involve the police."

Alden sighed, but complied.

That Eveleen, barely a few days of calm, and here we go again.

And finding her is one thing, but it's another worry if she's pulled another stunt.

His brother had just met Natalia, and he didn't need Eveleen stirring up trouble again.

Alden hurried off to make arrangements after hanging up.

Natalia, feeling a bit dizzy, walked out of the bathroom after a shower and saw Hamilton standing by the window.

The man seemed to be enveloped in a gloom, and with one look, she could tell he was in a foul mood.

So much so, he hadn't even noticed her come out.

"Is something wrong?" Natalia asked softly.

Hamilton snapped back to reality, the chill on his face melting away.

Instead of answering directly, he teased, "You're done showering already? Why didn't you wait for me?"

Natalia wasn't in the mood for his evasion.

Holding a towel, she dried her hair and said, "Hamilton, could you get me some medicine?"

Hamilton paused, immediately realizing what she meant.

She didn't want to get pregnant.

A bittersweet smile crossed his face.

Once, he didn't want it when she longed for it, and now when he wanted it, she was hesitant.

He embraced Natalia, "I thought you liked kids?"

Natalia's fingers tensed slightly, then resumed drying her hair as if nothing was amiss.

She did like kids.

But she dared not think about pregnancy.

Fully aware that the Fowler family wasn't fond of her, with a Delilah eyeing their every move, and an ambiguous situation with Eveleen.

A child would only bring danger to her and the baby.

The memory of Eveleen causing her miscarriage was still vivid in her mind.

Besides, with her health, taking medicine was more a comfort than a precaution.

Hamilton kissed her forehead, "Medicine could cause you allergies, let's not take any."

Natalia paused, shooting him a glare, "Knowing I'm allergic yet you didn't use protection! If you won't use it next time, don't touch me!"

Hamilton pretended not to hear her threat.

If he was set on having a child, nothing she said would change his mind.

He whispered lovingly, "If it happens, let's keep the baby."

Something in Natalia stirred.

Though the chance was slim, his words were still heartwarming.

Having a child with Hamilton was a dream she once cherished.

But now, it seemed only a distant fantasy.

She didn't mention the medicine again, simply pushing him gently, "Go shower, you're all sweaty."

Hamilton chuckled, "All for you, working myself to the bone while you relax."

Natalia blushed, "Then maybe you shouldn't work so hard."

Hamilton, nibbling her ear, teased, "Even if it kills me, I'd gladly do it."
