Chapter 581 The Entire World
Natalie was still blushing, even when they were well on their way home. At that moment, she seemed as red as a cooked prawn.
Perhaps it was because they were in the VIP area, but no one else was in that corridor for a long time. Samuel ended up kissing Natalie for so long that she almost fainted from prolonged deprivation of oxygen.
Samuel knew his girlfriend was a little angry, so he smiled without saying anything.
Soon, the car stopped steadily at the entrance of the Bowers residence.
Natalie had just stepped into the living room when her four little troublemakers ran over and surrounded her.
“Mommy, you scared me so, so much!”
“Mommy, you are not allowed to be that impulsive again.”
“Mommy, how are you feeling?”
“Mommy, I miss you so much.”
All four chubby faces were staring at her with concern and worry, and Natalie didn’t know who to respond to first. She didn’t want to play favorites, so she couched down and kissed all four kids on their foreheads.
“Thank you for your concerns, Sweethearts. Don’t worry. I have fully recovered,” promised Natalie with a smile. “Your Uncle Steven told me that you guys have been good these past couple of days, so I will tell you a story tonight and coo everyone to bed, okay?”
“Yay!”
Xavian, Clayton, and Franklin were boys, after all, so they didn’t cry despite missing Natalie dearly.
Sophia, however, went through the kidnapping and witnessed how Natalie got hurt. Seeing the latter all well now made the former cry endlessly. The tears simply won’t stop rolling down her cheeks.
Sob! Sophia cried in her baby voice. “This is all my fault. I was naughty, and that is why Mommy was in such a dangerous position. From now on, I will listen to Mommy and Daddy and be good. I will also do what my big brothers said.”
Sophia was actually a good kid who behaved well.
That was why Melissa went after Sophia, who was the most innocent and sweet one among them.
Natalie held Sophia in her arms and cooed, “That was a very dark place, and even the boys would be scared. You were brave because you didn’t lose control and waited for us to come to rescue you. You did good, Sophia.”
“I did?” asked Sophia in a coarse voice.
“Of course, you did,” replied Natalie before she looked at the three other boys. “You can ask your big brothers if you don’t believe me.”
The three boys thought that Sophia was brave and did well too, so they each gave her a thumbs up.
“You did great, Sophia.”
“You performed really well, Sophia.”
“You made us proud of our baby sister, Sophia.”
The little girl stopped crying and smiled shyly upon receiving those praises.
Her smile had always been especially sweet and cute.
Natalie’s lips instinctively curved into a smile as she hugged the soft and fragrant Sophia. It didn’t matter how difficult the task was or how much turmoil she would have to endure. She still felt as though she would have the entire world so long as her four tiny angels were with her.
At night.
After Natalie cooed all four of her angels to bed, she returned to her room.
Samuel was still working in the study, so she was the only one in the bedroom. She was about to go to sleep when she received a call from Gerald.
She walked to the balcony and leaned against the railing before placing her phone by her ear.
“Mr. Jones.”
“Natalie, I have Melissa’s autopsy report with me now,” shared Gerald in a concerned tone. “The fatal wound was the bullet through her head. It destroyed her brain. No surprise there, but the labs had run all tests and compared the content of her blood against all known drugs. There were zero traces of anything.”
Natalie became deep in thoughts after hearing what Gerald said.
“Natalie, could you have made a mistake? Perhaps Melissa never took any drugs,” said Gerald in an uncertain voice.
“Hmm… there is something off with your description, Gerald,” replied Natalie as she narrowed her eyes a little. “What if someone created a drug and never shared the content publicly? The coroner wouldn’t know what to test against, right?”
