Chapter 250 Undressing In The Rain
“I’ll choose the antidote,” answered Natalie without any hesitation as she stared into Liliana’s eyes.
“If the sweetness is fake, I would rather discard it. If it’s just a dream, you’ll eventually wake up from it. Even if it’s not me, someone else will destroy your dream. Do you think Milton will continue to play along with you when you’re no longer useful to him? Maybe you can’t even keep Josiah’s body intact. Josiah sacrificed his life for you. I’m sure he wants you to continue to be you, not the crazy woman who fell into paranoia because of him.”
Liliana was crying hysterically, digging the dirt of the cemetery with her fingers.
Josiah, you idiot! I once mocked you that you could do nothing for me, but you ended up using your life to prove your love for me. You’re an idiot!
“Liliana, those from the Todd family won’t let you off easily. You can’t stay in Livingsfill anymore,” Natalie continued. “You’re still young, and there are a lot of things that you can do. If you’ve thought it through, you can find me at Dream Corporation.”
With that said, she stood up and never looked at Liliana again.
I’ve said everything that needs to be said. If she still can’t figure it out on her own, it’ll be useless for me to say anything more.
After that, she left the cemetery with Samuel.
The cemetery was at the midpoint of the mountain. When one looked down from the mountain, they could see the graves standing solemnly, giving them a sense of desolation.
Samuel looked at Natalie’s profile and abruptly thought of the answer she had given to Liliana earlier.
Agonizing antidote. What kind of experience would make this woman blurt out such an answer?
“What on earth have you been through?”
Unwilling to answer the question, she turned her head away from him.
Although she did have a bit of feeling for him, it did not mean that he could interfere with her past.
“Samuel, you said you aren’t a good person, right?”
“Yes.”
“Neither am I.” Natalie lifted her head, and a cold glint flashed across her eyes. “The me in front of you isn’t all of me. The real me is a petty and vengeful woman. Are you sure you want to stay by my side?”
When her mother had just passed away, she tried to treat Thomas and Yara nicely after she arrived in Dellmoor.
In the end, she realized that they had always thought of her as a country bumpkin. To them, she was just a tool to exchange benefits.
Over the years, she had learned to rely on herself.
She did not believe in fate or anyone else. She only trusted herself.
Even though she faltered because of the man in front of her, she would not change her principles.
Instead of him finding out that she was not a good person later, she might as well be frank and clear to him now. If he can’t accept it, I should leave as soon as possible.
At some point, it started drizzling.
Immediately, Samuel took off his coat and draped it over Natalie’s head, shielding her from the wind and rain.
“I’ll stay by your side, no matter what.”
“Samuel, you—”
“Neither you nor I am a good person.” After a pause, he added solemnly, “Worst comes to worst, we’ll go to hell together after death. Even then, I’ll still be by your side.”
Natalie was taken aback, but soon, her eyes sparkled as a smile appeared on her face.
“I don’t know what you’re saying! Who’s going to hell with you?”
“Fine. I don’t know what I’m talking about either.” Then, he said fondly, “Walk faster. Try not to get your wound wet.”
“Okay.”
With that, they increased their pace and entered the car.
Natalie was not particularly wet. On the other hand, Samuel was drenched.
The rain pitter-pattered on the car windows, and the mountain was veiled in mist.
His bangs were down, making him seem more like a “good boy.”
However, in the next second, he suddenly started to unbutton his shirt. “There are spare clothes in the car. I’ll change into them.”
Natalie remained silent, but her gaze still fell on his strong and firm abs.
