Yvonne thought for a moment and said, "I can understand your perspective. If that man is truly as good a man as you said he was, it would be a pity for Selina to miss out on him. However, there's no point in forcing something out of it if she doesn't feel the same way. If there are no feelings on her part, the divorce would have happened sooner or later anyway. Don't you agree?"
Natalie held her breath for a second.
What Yvonne said was reasonable.
However, Natalie still wished that Selina had not decided to divorce Matthew.
Even after hearing that the divorce proceedings had already been completed, Natalie still couldn't help but hope that they would eventually remarry.
On the other hand, even in the situation wherein the Whitlocks had been able to persuade Selina to remarry Matthew, nothing might change.
Just as Yvonne had said, they might get a divorce again later on even if they had remarried.
Life was short. Why would someone want to fill it with this sort of suffering?
Was Selina destined to be separated from Matthew?
"Natalie, what do you think?" Yvonne asked.
Natalie came back to her senses.
Her mobile phone rang just as she was about to speak.
Natalie looked at Yvonne with embarrassment and said, "Yvonne, the phone call is from Tobias. I forgot to inform him that I was here to visit you. Perhaps he's looking for me."
Yvonne waved her hand at Natalie, signaling that this was no big deal, and said, "Well, you should probably go and comfort him. I'm about to be discharged from the hospital. I'm fine now. You should visit your mother-in-law."
Natalie nodded and said, "Please take good care of yourself."
After going upstairs, Natalie saw Tobias in front of Cecilia's ward.
"Natalie, where did you go?" Tobias asked gently as always.
Natalie was the only person whom he treated with such gentleness.
"I visited Yvonne just now. She's in the ward downstairs." "Yvonne?" Tobias frowned slightly and asked,
"Why is she in the hospital?"
Natalie explained, "She hurt her leg during filming and was hospitalized."
"You should keep her company. I'll take care of Mother."
Natalie shook her head and said, "It's okay, she's fine. She will be discharged from the hospital today. I can take care of Mother."
Tobias didn't object again after hearing Natalie's words.
Natalie continued, "Where is Selina? Is she still here? I want to console her."
After thinking for a moment, Tobias said firmly, "Forget it. I think we should leave her to reflect alone for the time being."
Natalie hesitated for a moment.
"Still, I think I'd better go and have a look."
Seeing Natalie's face scrunched in worry, he tapped the space between her brows and said, "You do realize that you are still spoiling her, right?"
Natalie pursed her lips and said, "It's only because I have been influenced by you Whitlocks. Don't you think so?"
Tobias put on a stern expression and said, "How dare you talk back to me."
Natalie smiled.
She looked around and asked, "What about Matthew?"
"He went out."
"Has he left the hospital?"
"He's just taking a walk. He wouldn't leave with Mother still in this condition."
Natalie responded, "I see."
All of a sudden, she thought of something.
She was trying to figure out the implications of Tobias' previous sentence.
Tobias had said that Matthew would not leave the hospital with Cecilia's condition still unstable. Could this mean that Matthew still had feelings for Selina? Could this even mean that he might want to remarry Selina?
"Tobias, do you think...?" Natalie could not help but ask.
Tobias understood even before she finished speaking.
