Chapter 121
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 121 On the 13th floor where the inpatient department was, Sherri Landor sat down on her best friendâs chair. She was so angry that her chest was heaving. From the moment she rode the elevator to this level until now, the patient had yet to emerge from the surgery. Coupled with the argument outside the operating theater, Sherri could not help but pity the pregnant woman.
Natalie Foster looked at the furious Sherri and could not help shaking her head. She went to pour Sherri a glass of water straight away. âHave a glass of water to calm your mood.â
Sure enough, this statement unlocked the pent-up emotions behind Sherriâs mouth. She took a sip of water and started blurting indignantly. âYou tell me. What kind of character did this pregnant woman marry? She is going to give birth in two months, yet that man hat her until her head was split open. Is that man human? Heâs worse than a beastâ
Natalie leaned against the edge of the othice desk and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She sighed and said, âThere has always been an element of gambling in marriage. Which woman can predict that she will be doted on like a princess for the rest of her life? Marriage is a risky venture in itself. Otherwise, why would so many people say that marriage is the tomb of love? Love and marriage are two different entities entirely. When two people are in a romantic relationship, they can act all lovey-dovey with each other But marriage is all about the harsh realities of life. How can these two be the same? Havenât you realized that many women get married after a whirlwind courtship? Thatâs because a woman gets all muddle-headed during such a whirlwind courtship and then decides to get married foolishlyâ
Sherri turned around and raised her head to look at Natalie while blinking her eyes. âNatalie, where did all your marriage theories come from? Why do they tend to reflect disillusionment with the mortal world?â
Natalie smiled. âI donât intend to renounce the world. Have you forgotten that Iâve already collected one marriage and one divorce certificate?â
Sherri still felt uncomfortable when her best friend mentioned her divorce so casually Fortunately, Trevon Wilson didnât like Natalie at that time At least there was no domestic violence.
Sherri began to recall the idol dramas she had watched. âWhy do you think men are all animals that think with their lower bodies? Why are there so many people who cheat when their partners are pregnant? Canât they just endure for slightly over nine months? Why do they have to go out to mate?
Arenât they afraid of getting infected with diseases?â
A female doctor came in and happened to overhear these words. She was amused. Dr. Landor, I can tell you are not married when 1 hear you say such things Sherri turned around and asked the female doctor, âWhy? Did I say something wrong? Donât tell me we women become pushovers when weâre pregnant? Why canât men control their urges? And they still engage in domestic violence. Theyâre really spoiled Sherri was still engrossed in this matter.
The female doctor explained many post-marriage matters to Sherri, such as why a man couldnât control his urges but a woman could. Sherri was astounded as she listened.
However. Natalie felt that Sherri was right about one thing. The most taboo things in marriage were domestic violence. psychological abuse, and having extramarital affairs.
Marital domestic violence would repeat itself after one had endured it once. Domestic violence was like giving the victim a slap, followed by giving the victim a piece of candy. This process was repeated again and again. Domestic violence either. never happened at all or happened countless times.
In Natalieâs mind, cheating in marriage was equivalent to a betrayal. Whether it was cheating with the mind or cheating with the body, the essence was the same. A betrayal was a betrayal.
In the case of Harry Foster, Mom probably couldnât stand Harryâs betrayal and finally jumped off a building due to depression.
Though Natalie didnât approve of what her mother did, she couldnât change anything either.
Therefore, what she hated the most was cheating in a marriage. If one partner didnât love the other partner anymore, then he had simply fallen out of love with the other party. This could not be used as a reason for one partner to cheat on the other. It was just an excuse. That partner could say in advance that he didnât love the other partner anymore, but he shouldnât betray her.
However, how many men and women would tell their wives or husbands that they didnât love their partners anymore and they should get a divorce just before cheating?
Jim Hawk stood outside the door and listened for quite a while. He silently put away his cell phone and stuffed it into his pocket. He knocked on the door politely. Perhaps the people inside were too engrossed in their conversation. They did not notice that someone was standing outside the door.
Upon hearing the knocking on the door, all the doctors turned around at the same time and looked at the door without exception. âIm looking for Dr.
Foster,â Jim said politely.
Natalie was astonished for a moment, thinking that Trevon Wilson was up to no good again. âWhat... whatâs wrong with him again
âNo, no. I need to go out and attend to something. Itâs just that Mr. Trevon isnât used to being taken care of by others. Can I request for the nurses help to keep an eye on him while Iâm away? That was right. Jim was referring to Trevonâs smoking habit. At the rate he was going, he would either die of a concussion or smoke himself to death.
request A personâs death could be earthshakingly momentous or totally insignificant. Smoking oneself to death was a little too unheroic In reality. Trevon had instructed Jim to investigate the matter about Trevonâs wife and child that Natalie mentioned in the morning. However, Jum could not say this Trevon was already struggling alone in his quest to win back his wife Jim could not impede his progress There was no change in Natalieâs expression and she was very professional âSure The nurse at the nurse station will go over to check on him.â
âThank you. Mrs Dr. Fosterâ
Sherri looked at Jimâs back profile and could not help but sigh. âSigh! Itâs really tough to be a scumbagâs assistant. What right do you think he has to have such a loyal assistant?â
Out of the blue, Natalie said, âI guess those whose names have the letter J are all loyal Sherri immediately thought of her biological brotherâs assistant, Kyle Jenkins. He seemed to be very loyal too. It seemed that she had to look for people whose names contain the letter J if she wanted to hire an assistant in the future The weather in February was seemingly not bad. It was another bright and fresh morning, and small white fluffy waves appeared in the blue sky Rays of sunlight scattered on the ground, making the ground appear as if it was covered in a layer of gold Maintaining a good mood every day was the only way to not let down this good weather.
Today, Jasper woke up very early and pestered Natalie Mommy, donât earn money. Go out and playâ
Natalie thought that this new phrase must have been taught by the domestic helpers. She slowly squatted down, picked up the small bundle of joy from the floor, and kissed his little face. âBut Mommy has to go and earn money to buy delicious food for you.
To her surprise, her son shook his head. âDonât earn money. Go out and playâ
Natalie pouted and tried to act cute as she said to her son. âBut I canât Mommy still has to go to the hospital to help other people When you were sick, didnât you also ask Ms Rose to help you get the little bug out? Then Mommy also has to help other people get the little bug out too. Otherwise, they will feel very awfulâ
The little fellow didnât nod at all. He simply hung his head and wasnât in a very good mood.
At this moment, the nanny came out and said with a smile. âMr Jasper might be feeling bored. He stays at home every day and doesnât go out much.
Miss Ruby isnât around either, so its inevitable that Mr. Jasper wants you to accompany him. In the past, when he was in Sapphire City, Miss Turner and Mrs. Turner played with him. Now that heâs in such a quiet place, heâs not very used to it.â
Natalie had also thought about this problem. It was also possible that the child had played too wildly when she had brought him out for the weekend and now he couldnât sit still. She thought for a moment and said, âThe weather is quite good today Why donât you bring him to the childrenâs playground at the edge of the neighborhood district to play? There are many activities for children there. Itâs indoors as well so there is no need to worry about the sun. Iâll tell my elder cousin to get someone to drive you guys there âMm-hmm Okayâ Jenny and the others didnât find it strange that the Turner family would send people to protect Natalie This was because it was the same when she was in Sapphire City. Now that she had returned to Athana, the Turner family would definitely still do the same Natalie handed her son to Jenny âJasper, Mommy will call Uncle Joseph and ask him to send someone to bring you out to play, okay?
At the mention of going out to play, the little fellowâs dull little eyes instantly lit up. His little mouth curled up as if his scheme had succeeded. He kept nodding like a chicken pecking at grains. He held the milk bottle and gurgled happily, his little eyes glued to his mother Natalie walked to the balcony and took out her cell phone to call Joseph Turner. The call was answered immediately. Joseph, are you awake?
A voice as gentle as a warm breeze rang out from the other end âWhen has your older cousin ever slept in? Whatâs wr Did something thorny happen?
Based on Josephis understanding of his younger cousin, she wouldnât call him so early in the morning for two region unlo involved something she really couldnât resolve.
âItâs just that over the weekend, I brought Japer out and we had a wild time. Is the end, today, he couldark si need to rush to work o 1 cart bring him out to play. Iâm worried about the two helpers driving be get the people following the to help drive the car and bring them out to play?â
There was a pause on Josephâs end and there was no immediate answer. Uncle Danielâs voice then rang out from the other end of the line. Josephâs phone must have been snatched away. âNatalie, are you too busy? Why donât I send a private plane to bring Jasper over and let your aunt take care of him? Weâll send him back again on Memorial Day. We kind of miss him when heâs not around.â
Natalie burst out laughing. âNo need, Uncle Daniel. Itâs good enough to just take him out for a walk. Maybe he got addicted to having fun over the weekend.â
When he heard Natalieâs rejection, Daniel Turner on the other end of the line did not force her. Natalieâs wishes were the top priority above everything.
He would never compel or pressure her.
âAlright. Let us know if youâre too busy.â
âSure.â
Joseph picked up the phone again. âWhy donât I buy you a new car? That way, itâll be easier for you to go to work. Itâs safer to drive. That vehicle of yours is too fast.â
Natalie couldnât help smiling. âJoseph, I still like two wheels. Four wheels get caught in traffic jams too much. The jam can be so bad that Iâm starting to doubt whether this is real life.â
The person on the other end of the line laughed. âThen you take care of yourself. Pat came back injured a few days ago. Iâll get Ethan to be your driver so that itâll be easier for you guys to take Jasper out.â
Natalie had met Josephâs personal bodyguards before. Pat and Ethan followed Joseph closely wherever he went and never left his side. Before her older cousin left, he actually left his most important bodyguards for her.
In an instant, Natalieâs heart felt warm all over. People who were surrounded by love were always blessed and contented. After breakfast and after the little fellow finished his milk, he was carried downstairs together with the helpers. Joseph acted very fast. There was already a tall and strong man standing downstairs and he appeared very vigilant. He looked to be in his thirties and his hairstyle was the simplest buzz cut.
Ethan called out politely, âMiss Natalie.â
Natalie nodded slightly. âSorry to trouble you.â
âItâs my responsibility. Iâll protect Mr. Jasper well. Donât worry.â
âThank you. Jasper, Mommy is leaving. You have to listen to Jenny and the rest. Also, when Mr. Ethan says that you to certain places, you mustnât go, understand? Otherwise, we wonât be able to go out to play next tim After Natalie issued instructions for everything, the few of them parted ways and went to their Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
