A Cue for Love Chapter 367 She Had It Coming Subsequently, Natalie and Yandel turned to look.
They saw Lia staggering forward while holding onto the wall for support. Beside her was a fat man constantly trying to put his arm around her shoulder.
Despite her struggles, the fat man kept trying to shamelessly pull her into his embrace.
Considering how common such a scene was in a bar, most of the patrons and the staff were numb to it and didnât intend to intervene.
Natalie knitted her brows.
Lia had almost lost her life after ingesting poison. And now, sheâs here getting herself drunk. Does she have a death wish?
When Yandel saw Natalie looking at Lia with a grim expression, he couldnât resist asking, âBoss, do you know her? Do you want me to step in?â
âYes, I do.â Natalie nodded. âYandel, please help her.â
Recalling Liaâs apology before she threw up blood, Natalie figured that she wasnât truly wicked.
She must have done it because Yara tempted her with something or is blackmailing her. No matter what, it doesnât hurt to have her on my side.
Stepping forward with a devilish smile, Yandel grabbed the fat manâs arm.
âLet go,â he barked in a commanding tone.
The fat man scowled in response. However, after he felt the pain on his arm, his flabby cheeks began to tremble as he let Lia go in fear.
âIâm sorry. I wonât do it again,â the fat man pleaded before turning around to flee.
Trying to find her balance, Lia looked up in a daze and pointed at Natalie.
âOh, itâs you.â
âMs. Johnson, itâs me indeed.â Natalie grinned. âIâm sure the last memory you have of me was when you puked blood and collapsed into Lionelâs arms, right?â
Yandel had extended his hand to support the drunken Lia in a chivalric manner.
Upon hearing Natalieâs words, he retracted them at once.
âBoss, thatâs Lia?â Furrowing his brows, Yandel snapped, âSince you recognize her, why did you ask me to save her? Even if something happens to her, she is just reaping what she sowed.â
Yandel was never one to be sympathetic.
The fact that he managed to hold himself back from punching Lia was an achievement.
Releasing his grip, Yandel allowed Lia to tumble onto the ground. However, Natalie stepped forward to hold her up instead.
Yandel protested with a frown, âBoss, sheâs not worthâ¦â
âYandel.â After Natalie gave him a look, he held his tongue knowingly.
âMs. Johnson.â
Feeling conflicted, Lia closed her eyes and resigned herself to face Natalieâs revenge.
âGiven that you have just been discharged from the hospital, you should take better care of yourself.
Now, call your brother to pick you up.â Natalie plainly added, âAll of us have only one life. The reason I helped you today is that I donât want to see someone I have painstakingly saved throw her life away again. If you are really sick of living, I suggest you sign an organ donor form to donate your organs to those who want to live on.â
Natalie words were both candid and pragmatic.
Although she was cognizant of Liaâs sorrow, there were many others in the world who were suffering more than her. In fact, those people didnât even have the ability to hurt themselves indiscriminately like her.
Having said her piece, Natalie turned to leave but had her arm grabbed by Lia instead.
âIâm sorry.â With tears streaming down her cheeks, Lia dropped to her knees in front of Natalie. âMs.
Nichols, I confess that I was out to frame you, but I had no other choice. That woman knows an important secret of mine. And because of that, I was forced to do what I did to you.â
