When she was done speaking, she turned to Natalie. "Natalie, I have a request. I have failed as a daughter. In the future, please take care of my mom for me."
Natalie's head was full on confusion.
She didn't understand what had just happened and how things became the way they were.
As for what Selina had said to her...
She sensed that Selina was leaving them with her last words.
"Mom, Natalie, I'm leaving now. I won't be in touch in the future. I'll be living a good life. Goodbye." After that, Selina turned and left.
Natalie hurriedly tried to catch up with her.
Cecilia's voice rang out behind her. "Natalie, let her go. Don't chase after her!"
Natalie's footsteps paused for a moment, but she still caught up with her.
She stopped Selina at the door and questioned her. "Selina, what happened to you? What the hell are you talking about? I'm so confused!"
Selina sniffled and said, "Natalie, didn't I make it clear? I'm leaving Agaphen City. I won't see you again." "Why are you doing this? Are you crazy! Don't you want your brother or mother anymore? Besides, Grandpa is still waiting for your wedding with Matthew!"
Just as Natalie finished speaking, a gust of strong wind blew past.
The strong wind blew Natalie and Selina's hair.
A light flashed across Selina's eyes.
"Natalie, do you feel the wind?" She murmured.
Natalie didn't know why Selina mentioned it. She said, "I can feel it, but the wind has nothing to do with what I'm asking you now. Selina, answer me."
"Natalie, the wind has just answered you,"Selina said softly.
Natalie's face was full of doubts.
"In fact, I'm just like the wind. I don't like to be restrained. Having a family might make you happy, but I like to be free like the wind. That's why I got rid of the child and plan to leave Matthew. I'm going to be free. Natalie, you should be happy for me.
Natalie couldn't believe it. "Selina, this wasn't what you said before. You were looking forward to having a baby with Matthew, and looking forward to living the rest of your life with him."
"That's what I wanted before, but I no longer want that now." Selina increased her voice. "Natalie, everyone has their own way of living so please respect my way of living. I'm leaving now, take care of yourself."
After saying that, Selina stepped forward. Natalie quickly stopped her. "Selina, you have to come back with me. Are you having a high fever? You are talking nonsense now, right? Come back quickly!"
Natalie had a strong intuition that once Selina left, she would never see her again.
Selina pushed Natalie's hand away. "Natalie, don't you respect me?"
Natalie held her breath.
Selina strode forward.
"Selina, don't go," Natalie shouted.
Selina continued walking forward without hesitation.
Natalie suddenly came to her senses when Selina was finally gone. She quickly called Tobias.
The call connected almost immediately.
Tobias spoke in a low voice, "Natalie."
Natalie said in a tearful voice, "Tobias, come back soon. Something huge has happened."
Tobias' car stopped when it was a kilometer away from the Whitlock family's villa.
With tears in her eyes, Selina said, "Tobias, when I leave, you must live a good life with Natalie. You must be happy in the future, so that I can rest in peace in heaven."
Tobias returned to the Whitlock family.
Natalie was shocked when she saw that Tobias' eyes were red. "Tobias, what's wrong with your eyes?"
"Nothing. I just got sand in my eyes."
Usually, Natalie would have asked a few more questions. However, after what had happened, she didn't have the time to ask.
She hurriedly said, "Tobias, please comfort Mom and send someone out to find Selina. I feel like my head is a little muddled. What's wrong with Selina?"
Before Natalie could finish her words, Tobias suddenly hugged her without warning.
Natalie was speechless.
The man's embrace was a little strange.
The embrace didn't give her comfort as it usually would. Instead, it was as if he was seeking comfort from her.
"Natalie." Tobias muttered. "I'm not sure if I did the right thing."
Natalie was confused. "What are you talking about?"
Tobias' eyes were fixed on Natalie. "Natalie, answer my question."
At this point, Natalie was too caught up with what happened to Selina. She was in no mood to answer Tobias' question.
But seeing the serious look on the man's face, she suppressed her worries.
"Okay, go ahead and speak."
