Natalie stood in the rain.
Just as Tobias moved to pull her in, Simon stopped him.
"Tobias, leave her be and let the rain wash over her. There's no need to stop. Maybe she'll be fine after getting drenched by the rain," he said.
Tobias' gaze deepened.
He looked at Natalie.
Her whole body was drenched, but her gaze seemed to be different somehow.
"Since she wants to be soaked by the rain, then I'll go and get soaked with her."
As soon as his words fell, he strode out.
Rain fell onto Tobias' shoulders. His black hair and suit were gradually getting soaked.
He stood beside Natalie and held her hand. "Natalie, I'll stay with you. No matter what happens, I'll always stay with you."
She turned to look at him.
The pair stared into each other's eyes.
After a while, she nodded heavily.
Simon watched everything unfold before him with great bewilderment.
Upstairs, Selina and Aunt Lee were looking at them through the window.
Selina stamped her feet at the floor while saying, "Crazy, they're all crazy. Natalie is crazy and so is Tobias. Why did they go outside to get drenched in the rain? Do they have nothing better to do?"
On the other hand, Aunt Lee was very worried.
She was the most observant person in the household.
Since Natalie and Tobias came home that day, she had realized that he didn't look so good.
The reason seemed to be that he hadn't properly rested in a long time.
And he was getting drenched in the rain right now. What would she do if something really happened to him?
Nevertheless, she was just a maid and she shouldn't be speaking out of her place.
However, Aunt Lee did find everything a little strange. Tobias was a mature and calm man, why would he do such a ridiculous thing like getting drenched in the rain right now?
The rain went on for two whole hours.
After the rain, the sky was a blinding azure.
Natalie and Tobias started walking back to the apartment hand in hand when he suddenly fell to the ground.
"Tobias!" Natalie shouted as she tried to grab hold of him.
It was the first time she had spoken since leaving the hospital.
Tobias was urgently sent to the hospital.
Even the doctors couldn't help complaining about his situation.
"Mr. Whitlock hasn't properly rested in days and his body has reached its limit, yet he still went and got drenched in the rain for so long. Of course he would end up like this."
Selina asked anxiously, "Doctor, my brother won't be in any danger, will he?"
The doctor said that fortunately, Tobias' body was very strong so he wouldn't be in any serious danger. He only needed to rest well after waking up.
She heaved a sigh of relief after hearing so.
She ran to the ward to tell Natalie the good news.
Ever since Tobias collapsed, Natalie's face had gone very pale.
When Selina arrived at the ward, she saw that Natalie was holding onto Tobias' hand as tears streamed down her face.
Selina could not bear to see the teary scene before her, so after pondering things for a moment, she decided to take her leave.
When Tobias woke up, a side of his face was soaked.
He saw that Natalie was still sobbing her eyes out.
"Silly girl, why are you crying?" He caressed her face with his hand.
She was stunned.
Once she realized that he had woken up, her tears immediately stopped.
"You, you're awake." Perhaps it was because she was finally able to speak after such a long time, so she stuttered.
"Yes, I'm awake." As he sat up, Tobias continued, "It's not a big deal. It's just that I've been a bit tired lately."
He used a tissue to wipe away the tears on her face. "Don't cry anymore, your husband is fine."
Natalie felt that she had been relieved of a burden.
All of a sudden, the nerves that were wound tight in her body immediately relaxed.
Stars then glimmered in her eyes.
