Cecilia forced a smile and said, "I just got the news. Natalie isn't dead. She's here, right?"
At the mention of Natalie, Tobias felt a pain in his heart.
"Yes," he said in a deep voice.
"I told you that Natalie is still alive. Tobias, are you here to find her?" She asked again.
"Yes."
Her fingertips trembled slightly as she asked, "Tobias, what are you planning to do? You and Natalie have already divorced. Both of you should live your own lives now. You can’t continue to live like this. I heard that you don't even care about the company's business now."
The veins on Tobias' forehead gradually appeared.
After a long time, he said with a flash of determination in his eyes, "Mother, I want Natalie."
Cecilia's head exploded in an instant.
She looked at Tobias with terror in her heart.
She knew that he already knew the truth, but he still said such a thing.
Countless black lights flashed before her eyes. She was about to faint.
"I will send Natalie's child away. We will never have another child in the future," he said in a painful and trembling voice.
He had considered everything, but he could not consider his own heart.
He wanted Natalie to find her own happiness, but he discovered that he could not lose her. He could not accept any intimacy between her and other men.
He could not be rational when it came to her.
Cecilia clutched the sofa tightly.
She barely supported herself and stood up. "Tobias, are you serious? Didn't you say that you want to divorce Natalie?"
"I have regretted it."
All the color faded from her face.
The next morning, Cecilia flew back to the United States.
Her heart was full of fear and despair.
At the same time, a decision gradually flashed through her mind.
She couldn't watch her son and daughter make mistakes. She could not let Tobias get farther and farther down the road of incest.
She knew that he was acting on blind impulses now.
She had to help him.
She could not let him and Natalie make irreversible mistakes.
Tobias did not ponder why Cecilia had come and left in such a hurry.
If it was in the past, given his intelligence, he would have discovered the clues.
At this moment, his mind was in a whirl and he could not think about it.
His mind was struggling between madness and rationality, and he could not extricate himself from it.
It was as if he had fallen into a swamp. He was struggling to get out, but he only sank deeper and deeper.
In the afternoon, Tobias received a call from Selina.
"Tobias, come back quickly. Mom is seriously ill. Come back quickly," she said in a choked voice.
He tightened his grip on his phone.
He immediately flew to the United States on the same day.
Selina's eyes were red when he got home.
"Tobias, Mom's complexion is very bad and the doctor doesn't know what the problem is. The doctor said that Mom's body is very weak now. I'm so worried."
He strode quickly toward Cecilia's bedroom.
In the bedroom, a man was sitting on Cecilia's bed, holding her hand tightly.
Tobias approached him and greeted him, "Father."
The man looked up.
He looked majestic, and there was a glimmer of sparkle in his eyes.
"Have a good talk with your mother," the man said and stood up.
Lying on the bed, Cecilia's face was very pale, without a trace of blood.
A trace of worry flashed across his eyes. "Mother, are you okay?"
