However, Tobias had told Simon to take a flight that very night. It was clear that regardless of whether or not Simon was willing, he had to fly to Agaphen City.
"Alright," Simon said after a moment.
Natalie remained unconscious for the whole night.
Tobias and Jack stayed up, waiting as well.
The pair remained silent the whole time.
Simon arrived in a rush in the early morning of the following day.
Once Simon came into view, Tobias finally eased a little.
"Why are we meeting at a hospital again?" Simon was a little surprised.
The last time Tobias had asked him to come to Agaphen City, he had gone to a hospital too.
Tobias hummed a reply before telling Simon about what had happened.
Simon's brows pulled into a tight knit.
A moment later, he walked up to Jack and asked, "Sir, are you the one who saved Mrs.
Whitlock?"
Jack nodded, his gaze one of heartache.
"Can I have a word with you?"
Once Simon and Jack were done with their conversation, Simon went to the doctor to inquire about Natalie's current situation and he soon met with Tobias once more.
"Tobias, your wife's situation isn't looking good right now," Simon said.
"I know." Tobias' tone was calm, but there was a hint of imperceptible tension in it.
"Also, it's very likely that her memories have recovered," Simon said.
Tobias' heart sank.
The memories that Natalie had sealed away were some terrible ones.
If he could, he hoped that she would never recall those memories and remember those dark times.
"The most important thing right now is for her to wake up. As for her psychological therapy after she wakes up, let's put it aside for now," Simon said.
"How can we wake her up?" Tobias asked anxiously.
Simon pondered for a moment before he looked at him.
"Tobias, the doctor said that Miss Godfrey has been calling out for you even though she's unconscious. You can try staying by her side for now. Even if she's unconscious, you can keep her company and talk to her, which might wake her up."
Natalie had been saying his name despite her unconscious state.
Tobias felt as if his heart had been struck by a sudden heavy blow.
Tobias kept watch over her for three days and three nights.
During this time, he did not sleep a wink and was always by her side.
Jack was in a trance outside the ward.
He witnessed everything that Tobias had done in the past few days.
For a man with such a high position like Tobias, time was money, even more so when that period spanned three days.
Yet he was willing to spend so many sleepless days keeping Natalie company.
Furthermore, from the look of things, it seemed that he would push away all his work to stay by her side if she did not wake up.
It turned out that in Tobias' heart, Natalie's importance was of such a degree.
Ripples suddenly emerged in Jack's heart.
He should be happy for Natalie.
She finally found a man who treated her well.
However, why was there a bitter emotion deep in his heart?
The bitter feeling encroached his heart little by little.
Natalie's world was a blank space.
On the fourth day, she finally regained some consciousness.
Only to be followed by a plunge into endless horror.
It turned out that everything was fake.
Her mother, her siblings, and her family were all fake.
She had also killed someone.
Her hands were covered with blood.
Natalie wanted to scream, but she couldn't.
She hid shivering in a corner.
She killed someone.
She was a woman stained with blood.
"I killed someone," Natalie repeated endlessly.
Tobias, who had been looking after her by her bedside, closed his heavy eyelids.
He was seated next to her, but his usual straight posture was bent.
After all, he was not made of iron. He could only hold on for so many days without sleep.
Although he was sitting there, his eyelids were closed.
Suddenly, a soft voice drifted into his ears.
Tobias immediately opened his eyes.
Natalie's mouth was moving.
