Chapter 816 Danger
Benjamin was surprised by Natalie’s decision and said, “Blaze’s destructive capabilities are beyond your imagination. I suggest you better think things through!”
“There’s nothing to think about. I’ve already made my decision,” she replied plainly as she stared at him unwaveringly. “Right now, I need to go through the rest of the diary entries and videos.”
He furrowed his eyebrows. I have no idea what this woman is thinking. She watched the video Yara took earlier, yet she still insisted on going. I don’t know if she’s brave or stupid.
Since he couldn’t stop worrying about her and also wanted to pay a visit to Blaze’s evil den at Dellmoor, he accompanied her as she studied the map and the diary.
Natalie flipped through the diary.
Aside from reading about information regarding Blaze, she also saw just how much Yara hated her.
She knew Yara despised her, but at that moment, she found hints pointing to the reason why.
One of the entries read: “So Thomas made a promise with that devil a long time ago. The vagrants in the city streets are the base’s perfect lab rats! That woman probably knew about it when she left for the countryside. Yet, she abandoned me here! If that woman had brought me with her instead of Natalie, I probably wouldn’t have been this unlucky! In that scenario, Natalie will be the one to inherit that hellish base instead of me! I’ve already sold my soul to Satan. My future has already been determined for me. I hope that one day when this diary is found by someone, it’ll lessen my sin.”
Natalie once hated Yara for everything the latter did, but after reading the diary, she learned the reason behind those heinous acts. I didn’t know she had to endure so much pain. I guess even the most despicable person has their own sad stories to tell.
That night, she slept late because she was making detailed preparation.
The next day, before she left, she gave Steven a call.
“What’s your brother’s condition right now, Steven?” She couldn’t stop worrying about Samuel.
Steven stood at the side of the window and glanced at Samuel on the bed, who had aged significantly. “He’s still aging rapidly. He now looks like a sixty-year-old man.”
“Sixty years old…” she repeated as she felt suffocated.
Knowing that might hurt Natalie emotionally, he quickly continued, “My grandfather had invited a doctor from the Garcia family. She had served him medicine that will buy more time for you to look for the antidote.”
“Mhm.”
“Justin just called and said he didn’t find any leads for now…” He really wanted to ask about her progress, but after hesitating for a long while, he didn’t.
She noticed his desire to speak and said, “There’s not much progress on my side for now. I’ll do my best.”
After hanging up the phone, she turned around and saw Benjamin staring at her.
Her eyebrows furrowed. “What are you looking at me like that for?”
“Are you really a woman? Do you even know what the word ‘danger’ means?” He had already shaved his beard, which made him look much more refreshing and handsome. However, there was a somber look in his eyes.
“Gender has nothing to do with danger.” She retorted, “Everything has its own risk. The important point is if that risk is worth it. As long as I can get that antidote, I don’t care if I die or not!”
“I can’t get through you, can I?” He slowly moved his line of sight away from her.
“Then don’t.” Natalie stared intensely as she replied somberly. “I’m satisfied as long as I can hit a bullseye on my goal.”
In the past, Samuel used his life to protect and take care of her.
It was her turn to do the same.
When she thought about that, she clenched her finger tightly and swore in her mind. Please wait for me, Samuel. I promise I’ll save you.
