Love after Betrayal (Casper and Natalie)

Chapter 4

Realizing what she had done, Natalie’s heartbeat went faster before she immediately let go of the

man’s face. However, she soon remembered that Casper was still in a coma. After pondering for a

moment, she started massaging his body. From what she understood, Casper’s accident had

happened six months ago. That would mean that Casper had been lying in bed for nearly half a year.

Those who had been bedridden for a long period would see their body muscle deteriorate to the point

where necrosis might occur. However, the care on Casper’s body was very well done, as Natalie hadn’t

noticed anything abnormal with his current condition. The old massage technique she had read from

her mother’s book seemed to be effective in nurturing Casper’s recovery. … The next day at eight in

the morning, a doctor sent by Ethel came by and took Natalie to the hospital to run several checkups

on her. The whole process was smooth, as she hadn’t felt the slightest discomfort. When she was done Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

with the checkups, she left the hospital quietly. Just as Natalie left the hospital entrance, the big screen

opposite her displayed a piece of financial news: ‘The marriage between the Lewis Corporation’s direct

heir, Justin Lewis, and Hartwell Corporation’s young lady, Britney Hartwell, will take place in one month.

Reports say that the two had met in a dreamy and romantic situation…’ With that headline, the screen

displayed several shots of the two together. In the eyes of a stranger, the two of them looked like a

match made in heaven. “What bad luck!” Looking at the news headline, Natalie gave a cold snort and

thought, She’s just like a child of a cuckoo bird, what with her parading around with that title of the

Hartwells‘ daughter, even though she’s just an illegitimate child! Then, Natalie took her phone and sent

a well-drafted message after a few minutes. In no time at all, several news headlines quickly made their

way to the trending topics. ‘The Life of Hartwell Corporation’s Britney Hartwell Revealed.’ ‘The Truth Is

Here: Logan Hartwell Stole Hartwell Corporation?’ ‘The Mistress Who Became Part of the Hartwell

Family.’ … Both the Hartwell Family and the Lewis Family were in a mess over the news. Just as

Natalie was enjoying the drama by reading the netizen’s comments and reactions, Justin called her

phone once more. On the other end of the line, Justin said in a dejected tone, “Natalie, I was wrong. I

shouldn’t have chosen a woman like Britney. Please, can’t you give me another chance?” “Have you

been drinking?” “Yeah. Natalie, you should know that Britney has been lying to my face all this while.

Now that both our families are in such a mess, I’ve really regretted my choice. Natalie, please give me

another chance. As long as you’re pregnant with our child, we will own everything the Langston Family

has,” Justin said with hints of drunkenness in his tone. The man was boiling with anger when he

complained about Britney. Furthermore, he believed that Natalie still held feelings for him. As long as

she agreed to conceive his child, he would break it off with Britney, as he no longer cared about the

marriage with the latter. Natalie hadn’t expected Justin to still have his eyes on the Langston Family’s

properties. After a brief moment of contemplation, she smiled and said with a twinkle in her eye,

“Alright. I’ll give you another chance. Come by room 666 in Centuria Hotel alone tonight at nine. How

about it? Are you daring enough, Justin?” Justin immediately sobered up and replied, “Natalie, don’t

you worry! I’ll definitely be there tonight!” After she ended the call, Natalie immediately dialed another

number on her phone. … Nine at night, in room 666 at Centuria Hotel. Justin was humming happily as

he opened the door with the key card he took from the receptionist. Although the room was dimly lit, the

decoration was fantastic, as the huge bed was decorated with fresh rose petals. The moment he

noticed a person was hiding under the blanket, he hurried over and jumped on the bed, saying lovingly,

“Natalie! I’m here!” After tonight, Natalie would be his woman. As long as she was pregnant with his

child, she would be at his mercy when that time came. That was what Justin had thought. However,

after a few minutes, he immediately fell from the bed and bellowed, “Who the f*ck are you?! Why did

you… Why did you have… F*ck! You’re…” On the huge bed was a man wearing a long hair wig. That

man was currently wearing a flirtatious expression and was casting seductive gazes at Justin. Bam!

Immediately after that, the door was forced open with a loud bang. Several men with cameras came in

and started questioning Justin. “Mr. Lewis, there are rumors that state that you have no interest in

women. Does that mean that your marriage with Miss Hartwell is purely out of business?” “Does Miss

Hartwell know about your preference for men?” “There are also rumors that Mr. Lewis has a habit of

cross-dressing. Is that true?” “Will the marriage still be held as scheduled? Mr. Lewis, please answer

the question.” … Justin, who was in his birthday suit, was livid to the extent of his body trembling. With

the burning rage inside him, he thought, Natalie Hartwell! You’ve set me up!
