Chapter 34

Natalie didn’t answer his question but looked at him silently. Her conversation with Brianna in the car had shocked her too ruch

At that moment, she stared at Calvin with her eyes full of coldness and disbelief.

She couldn’t believe that Calvin would lay a hand on her because of Yvette:

“What were you thinking when you did that?” Natalie asked all of a sudden.

Calvin asked. “What?”

“What were you thinking when you slapped me for Yvette?”

As her words fell, the veins on Calvin’s forehead throbbed violently.

Calvin stared at her with anger concealed in his eyes. “Did you think I slapped you for her?”

“Didn’t you?”

Calvin fell silent, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be on the verge of explosion.

Natalie looked at him as if she were looking at a stranger. “How did we end up being so distrustful of each other all of a sudden?’ she thought.

Natalie had never thought that would happen to them, but in the end, it did.

She took a deep breath and said. “I have to go.”

Watching Calvin’s silent look, Natalie felt even more disappointed. Actually, she was so heartbroken now that she even hated the feeling of sadness.

‘Do you think I won’t know if you don’t tell me?” Calvin tightened his grip on her wrist.

Natalie asked, “What else do you want? Isn’t it enough?”

“Is it enough? No!” Calvin thought.

“Yes, Mr. Jeffords”

“Go and ask!” It was needless to say what Calvin wanted lan to ask

Natalie only felt the veins on her forehead throb, and her breathing quickened as she looked at Calvin

lan must have undergone intensive training to be able to stay by Calvin’s side for so many years. He would retrieve any information swiftly rarept for the last time Natalie went abroad.

Calvin felt suffocated for a moment, and the louk in his eyes beyond angry as he stared at Natalie

Natalie tilted her head to one side and clearly felt the depressing air surrounding the man lant hurriedly stepped aside

that time, anyone around Calvin would feel an overwhelming pressure. It had to be said that Natalie was something else

Bang!

Before Natalie could react, she was pushed straight into a ward in the corridor, and the door was slammed by Calvin.

A huge shadow shrouded her and the charming voice exclusive to Calvin was indescribably emotional and cold at that

moment.

“Injury examination? Domestic violence?”

His overwhelming aura of indignance made Natalie, who had always been fearless of him, scared when she was facing him. at the moment.

“Speak!” Seeing that Natalie didn’t say anything, Calvin roared so loud that the entire hospital was almost shaken.

Natalie finally looked up at Calvin in front of her and said with utter resoluteness. “Yes!”

Calvin was rendered speechless.

“If you dare to strike me, I dare to examine my y injury!”

Calvin’s pupils contracted as he looked at Natalie’s small face which was full of determination at the moment.

During that period, he had been bothered by Yvette’s matter and had not dealt with the divorce lawsuit Natalie had proposed.

He didn’t expect Natalie to make a bigger scene each time.

“What is she up to? Not only has she done such an embarrassing thing, but she also wants me to lose the lawsuit. She thinks too highly of herself!” he thought.

Calvin grinned his teeth and said, “Fine, you’re really something I didn’t realize I have spoiled you so much that you have become lawless and rude like this.”

The lady of the Jeffords family now used the law as a weapon to aim at him.

Calvin’s handsome face was enveloped in gloom at the moment and he showed no warmth toward her.

Natalie didn’t care.

She walked past Calvin and was about to pull the ward door open when his menacing voice came from behind. “Natalie, since you insist on doing this, don’t blame me for being heartless”

Natalie’s hand on the doorknob froze momentarily.

“Heartless? Has he ever had a heart? Heh, he has not yet shown the true color of his heartlessness. It’s still far from it,” she thought

Natalie was naturally not afraid of him, since she had experienced it once.

She simply said, “Do as you please. I’ll take you on any time!”

After saying that, she opened the door and went out, leaving belund Calvin full of coldness.

Calvin stood in the darkness and thought, “Heh, I never thought that my little wife would become like this in the blink of an eye. How dare the challenge me!”

Natalie came out of the ward and bumped into Cecilia in the corridor, and only then did she find that Rebecca stayed in that

hospital.

When she saw Natalie, Cecilia stepped forward to pick a fight with the former almost out of habit, saying. “Do you still consider yourself as the daughter-in-law of the Jeffords family: Mom has been hospitalized, and you didn’t even show up

once.

“Don’t you wish that I’m not the daughter-in-law of the Jeffords family? Why are you using this identity against me now?”

“You-Cecilia’s anger surged.

In the past, Cecilia and Rebecca would always make things difficult for Natalie every time the latter returned to the Jeffords residence. Back then, Natalie had been too weak to resist.

“You are really impressive now! Cecilia said.

“Heh! Natalie sneered.

Seeing the disgust in Cecilia’s eyes, Natalie fought back with the same eyes without any hesitation,

carlier on.

Cecilia was agitated further, and she recalled Natalie’s sarcastic remarks about her

er during breakfast ca

Natalie’s eyes were full of disgust and disdain, making Cecilia feel Natalie was looking down on Cecilia’s identity as an adopted daughter.

She said more rudely. “As an orphan, you are lucky to be a member of the Jeffords family, but you don’t know how to cherish it. It was a retort to what Natalie had said about her last time.

Indeed, Natalie was an orphan.

When she first met Calvin, she was relying on the community’s financial aid to live and go to school every month.

Thinking back to the past, life had been really hard for Natalic, but no matter how difficult it had been at that time, it was not as difficult as it was when she was in the Jeffords family.

Natalie didn’t want to talk to Cecilia anymore. It would be a waste of time to say another word to the Jeffords family now..

Just as she was about to leave, Calvin and the doctor suddenly rushed past her so fast that it raised a gust of wind.

Looking at Calvin’s weary and panicky back, she heard him saying anxiously, “What is going on? How could there be an infection?”

“We’ve been watching Ms. Maddox closely, and the infection was an accident.”

“Ms. Maddox?” Natalie thought as she froze where she was. She had seen Calvin lose his composure because of Yvette, and now she saw it again. Her heart couldn’t help but ache.

Cecilia stood behind Natalie and provoked the latter in a mocking tone, “See? You’re not on Calvin’s mind right now.”

Natalie turned around and glanced at the smug face of Cecilia Atrace of ridicule appeared at the corners of Natalie’s mouth as she wantonly humiliated, “The same goes for you. You can’t even enjoy the benefits of being so close to hun

“You are really-Cerilia glared at Natalie, and she was too furious to speak.

A hint of maliciousness flashed across her eyes as she stared at Natalie. Cecilia duln’t expect Natalie to have such a sharp tongue now. Not only was the latter not provoked, but she even med herself like a hedgehog full of spines.
