Chapter 608 Not Deserving Of Sympathy
Yandel clenched his fists in silence.
After a long while, he gradually looked up and remarked, “So what if we see each other? It’s as good as we don’t. She’s someone beyond my reach.”
Natalie didn’t know how to judge who was right. She only knew that Yandel had raised Amelia till she was sixteen when the girl’s family came knocking. From then on, he drew a line between both of them.
Even though Amelia had repeatedly asked Yandel about the reason, he was adamant in refusing to tell her.
After some time, he left everything he had in Loang and worked with Natalie to establish Dream.
Over the last three years, Natalie worked behind the scenes while he was the face of the company. Although he seemed to appear lackadaisical at work, he was actually numbing himself with a high-intensity schedule.
It was a fact that wasn’t lost on Natalie.
Yandel eased the tension in his fists in the end. “No one in this world loves her more than I do. However, I’m not worthy of her.”
Natalie wanted to probe further, but she swallowed her words when she saw tears welling up in Yandel’s eyes.
She was used to seeing him behave in a nonchalant manner, and that moment was also the first time she saw him shed tears.
For the rest of the day, a sullen mood filled the CEO’s office as Yandel continued to bury himself in work to help suppress his raging emotions.
As for Natalie, she too, busied herself and left the office when she was done.
The moment she stepped out, she noticed it was raining, and she didn’t have an umbrella.
Just as she covered herself with her own hands and began to run, an umbrella opened right above her head.
Raising her gaze, Samuel’s reprimanding expression greeted her.
“Aren’t you worried about getting a cold?” he asked.
“It’s not a big deal. Getting caught in the rain doesn’t necessarily end with a cold,” Natalie mumbled as she put down her hands. When she subsequently saw the look Samuel gave her, she changed topics at once. “By the way, why are you here at my office?”
“I knew you didn’t bring your umbrella and would get yourself wet,” Samuel answered. “Even if you don’t care for yourself, it still breaks my heart to see you sick.”
She was slightly surprised at how Samuel predicted it.
Both of them walked side by side amidst the pitter-patter of the rain.
As Samuel was mostly sheltering Natalie with the umbrella, he had exposed himself to the rain. Nonetheless, he didn’t mind the raindrops trickling down his jacket as long as she didn’t get wet.
At that moment, Thomas brought Yara to visit the secret research center.
It was built underground and contained three stories where each floor had a different function.
The high-precision machines at work inside had exceeded her expectations.
However, she was shocked by the sight of vagrants who were in shackles, groaning in their cages.
“Yara, are you frightened by them?” Thomas asked with a frown.
“A little.” She nodded with a pale look on her face.
“After the drugs are tested on animals, they have to be tested on humans.” Staring heartlessly at the prison in front of him, Thomas continued to explain, “This is where the true research is conducted. All kinds of medicine regardless of their side effects are tested here before being released to the outside world.”
Yara nodded despite the questions she still harbored.
Nonetheless, she quickly regained her composure and broke into a devious smile.
Only the fittest will survive in this world. Society’s rules have expelled all these people. Hence, they don’t deserve any sympathy at all. Only the strong deserve the privilege of living on, just like Natalie and I. Even though we are twins, I will be the only one that’s left standing.
