“Even if you aren’t Natalie’s half-brother, in her heart, you were never her lover. If she ever had a bit of love for you, do you still need to resort to those despicable methods to confine her and use her husband and kids to threaten her to finish the wedding ceremony with you? You think you treated her well, but have you considered her feelings?
Did you shower her with love and care, or were you torturing her over the past month? Do you honestly feel nothing at all? You’re my son. A father is responsible for his child. I’ve said my piece. If you insist on acting like that, I have nothing more to say.”
Finishing his words, Mikhail exhaled a heavy. sigh and turned to make his way out, leaving behind Bastien, who was lost in thoughts. On the other side, Natalie had been living a happy life every day ever since she returned home.
With a good mood came a better appetite. In addition, since Samuel was at home to keep her company, he came up with many ideas and whipped up a wide variety of dishes for her. That naturally made Natalie’s health and complexion improve drastically.
During this period, many people visited her, including Yandel, Lia, and Jerome. Of course, the one that left her most surprised was Yana, who had rushed to Loang especially to visit her immediately after one month she had given birth.
As an uxorious husband, Hans obviously. followed her along. They also brought their second baby daughter, who had just turned one month old, along on this trip.
Other than the injury on her shoulder that still hurt a little, Natalie could now get back on her feet and move about again. As soon as she saw Yana’s appearance, the two clung together tightly while shedding tears of joy. “Natalie, do you know how much I’ve missed you?”
“Me too, Yana.” The two women hugged each other so tightly that they almost forgot about their husbands” existence. Of course, the greeting between the two men was much more rational. They merely shook hands and exchanged a short pleasantry with each other.
The two women remained in a tight embrace for a while longer before they wiped the tears off each other’s faces and stepped away from each other.
At that moment, Natalie realized that Yana had a pair of glasses perched on the bridge of her nose. Curious, the former asked, “Yana, I thought you have perfect eyesight? Why are you wearing glasses?”
Hans interrupted the conversation and explained, “When Yana received news of your sudden passing, she was still in her confinement period. That left her so heartbroken she cried for a really long time. After her confinement period ended, she realized her eyesight wasn’t as good as before. These days, it’s difficult for her to see things without her glasses…”
Hearing Hans’ words, Natalie felt a terrible sensation surge within her. Even though Yana was not her biological sister, she had always treated her genuinely.
“Yana, you-” At that, Yana turned to Hans and rolled her eyes. “Who said you can talk so much here, Hans? Be honest; do you think I look ugly int glasses?”
Hans hastily waved his hand. “No, Yana! You’re the prettiest no matter if you wear glasses or not!” Seeing how Hans had wimped out, Yana broke into a bright smile. “Good that you know! Don’t you dare reveal my secrets without my permission next time!”
“Yes, of course!” Yana had become more domineering after giving birth to her second child. Then again, she was too gentle and soft-spoken before. The little temper she gained after pregnancy had, in fact, helped balance out her overall demeanor, making her look a lot more lively and vibrant. these days.
“Natalie, I’m so glad that you’re fine.” Yana smiled. “Oh yes. I guess you haven’t seen my daughter yet, have you?”
“Yeah.” Natalie nodded. Thinking back, she remembered how Yana was still carrying a big belly around when she was about to leave Loang. In the blink of an eye, now that they had met again after so much time, Yana had given birth, and her daughter was almost a month old. Yana carried her swaddled newborn and walked over.
Her baby daughter, who was just a month old, was so small and cuddly. Her tiny face was a little wrinkly, and she pouted her lips like a fish as she spat tiny bubbles. It was still too early to define the little one’s beauty, but she was definitely radiating innocence and adorableness from head to toe.
“Natalie, you’re her benefactor who gave her the opportunity to be born in this world,” Yana gratefully expressed. “If you didn’t go to great lengths to lay your hands on the dragonblood fruit for me back then, I wouldn’t have survived, let alone her… Initially, I merely thought dragonblood fruit was rare and hard to find. It was later when Justin told me you almost lost your life in Livingsfill because you wanted to save me…”
