Chapter 10
Natalie slept drowsily, feeling herself suddenly lifted into the air, her eyes widening in fear.
What caught my eye was a face that had been enlarged, looking resolute and handsome.
She hesitated to create distance, but ended up in Blake's wide embrace.
Those deep eyes instantly softened with sharpness: "Did I wake you up? Aunt called twice. saying that Uncle's cooked food is getting hot again and again. I saw you sleeping soundly, so I wanted you to sleep a She pressed her hand against Blake's chest and said, "I can walk by myself..."
Before she could finish speaking, Blake actually picked her up and squatted down to pick up her shoes, one by one.
She was so scared that she clung tightly to Blake's neck: "I'm fine now, please let me down, I can go back by myself."
"The doctor said you were weak. Blake raised his strong jawline slightly and gestured to her, "Just reach out and grab the medicine.""
She obeyed obediently, lowering her head slightly.
Blake picked her up and put her in the car, then fastened the seatbelt.
She finally managed to squeeze out a "Thank you!"
Blake didn't say anything, he just nodded.
She asked quietly, "How did you know I was tied to the fire scene?"
Blake thought of how she had fear and despair on her face at that moment, but she tried hard to resist the demons in her heart from getting closer to the flames. Her heart ached, and she even wished she could She didn't wait for an answer, and in the corner of her eye, she noticed Blake's jawline tight-
ening, his toes curling in nervousness, quickly shifting his gaze out the window.
Suddenly, I heard Blake say, "You are very afraid of me, why?"
Her memories were brought back to her childhood.
Although the Ximenez and Shaw families were close friends and
had a close relationship, the Ximenez family moved to Canada early on, while the Shaw family stayed in Washington to develop.
When she was young, she didn't have many chances to hang out with Blake, who was two years older than her. She mostly played with Eiam.
"Was there always a reason?"
Blake waited for her answer, but when she didn't respond, he continued to ask.
She felt
a bit suffocated, this man always scared her, and he was always fierce when speak- ing.
Holding her breath, her courage grew in an instant.
"You looked fierce! When I was probably six or seven years old, I saw you in the alley, beat-
ing a group of
older kids until they were bloody, with blood on your own face as well. You turned your head and told me to scram, you looked just like a living Yama."
Blake turned his head in surprise to look at her, as if he had always been popular with girls, so why did he suddenly look fierce to
her?
The tiger's round, staring eyes and speechless expression gave
Natalie a sense of both fierce- ness and stupidity.
Then I heard him suddenly burst into laughter, and the lines on his face softened
consider- ably,
"I see! Those guys are bullies, always picking on the weak and teasing girls. I fought back because I refuse to be bullied. I told you to leave because I was afraid I couldn't protect you." "And I couldn't decide on my own appearance."
"Oh, Natalie asked gloomily, "so how did you actually find the fire and rescue me?“”
Blake smiled and said, "The hotel I
was staying at is not far from you. I received the flight information forwarded by Liam and was ready to pick you up. When I called you, found your phone had fallen on the ground. I followed the trail all the way to catch up with you? Luckily, I didn't arrive too late."
It sounded easy, but Natalie knew it wasn't simple.
Over the past few years, Blake's situation, she also heard some things from Liam.
Being able to track down oneself so quickly not only required leveraging connections, but also
likely had to do with Blake's previous service in a special military unit.
With this in mind, she felt a wave of relief, thankful that Blake had arrived.
Meanwhile, in Washington.
Felix received a call from his subordinate: "Mr. Harrison, we haven't found Ms. Shaw's whereabouts yet."noveldrama
"Two kidnappers and arsonists have
been caught, they have already confessed that they were instructed by Ms. Jefferson. They also stole a video recording as evidence for blackmail. The surveillance footage from the banquet and hospital, as well as Ms. Jefferson's past few years, has been sent to you.”
"However, there is something suspicious, I suspect that there are other forces investigating this matter as well."
Felix's face turned cold as he opened the surveillance video and Mabel's information.
In front of him, the obedient and lovely Eddie was so malicious, taking advantage of his young age twice to harm Natalie, causing her
to get hurt and fall into the water. All of this could not have happened without Mabel's instigation.
While Mabel pretended to be the
savior of his mother's life, she
eloped with someone after playing him. When she got sick and came back, she even donated to the Bone marrow bank. With the favoroshe secretly took Natalie's bone marrow and gave Eddie a marriage certifi- cafe.
Having obtained these, Mabel was still not satisfied. She hired someone to kidnap
and set fire, putting Natalie in mortal danger.
The fact was right in front of him, and he realized how foolish he had been.
Not only was Mabel repeatedly hurt by Natalie, but she was also used as a gun by a seven-
year-old child.
He couldn't imagine how sad Natalie was to know the truth, and how scared and
desperate she was when he left her in the fire.
The wine glass in his hand shattered with a sound, and a fierce light burst out of his eyes.
After some time had passed, he sent a message to Mabel on his phone: "The wedding you agreed to will be held tomorrow. Wear the set of iris jewelry, take Eddie to the newly bought villa, and I will take care of the rest."
Mabel received the message and confidently tossed her long hair.
Felix knew he loved her to death, after all, he had been her lapdog for over a decade. No matter what she did wrong, Felix would always comfort himself and continue to spoil and love her.
Did you finally believe me?
Then I'll just wait for the surprise.
Felix ignored her response and ordered the construction site under his name to be shut down. He prepared several large metal drums filled with gasoline...
That evening, invitations were sent out one by one.
