Xavier chuckled. "Mr. Garcia, why so interested in my friends?"
Easton scoffed. "Because | know you don't have many friends."
Xavier thought, "That's quite heart-wrenching.
Over the years, he worked tirelessly to build the company with him, leaving no tto find a girlfriend.
Xavier remained silent.
Easton didn't ask further.
Thinking about Natalie's car accident, he said irritably, "Go check if Natalie really got into a car accident, will
you?"
Xavier was frustrated. No one would joke about a car accident. "Mr. Garcia, you toldnot to mention Ms.
Shawn in front. of you, so | didn't say that the person I'm visiting is Ms. Shawn.
"Just after she got off the highway, she was hit by Davian's car. It seemed intentional. If Ms. Shawn hadn't
reacted fast, she would have died."
Easton frowned, slightly taken aback. "She didn't lie to me; she really was in a car accident."
Xavier stopped talking.
A deep sense of guilt flashed through Easton. If he hadn't kicked her out of the car, she wouldn't have been in
danger.
But what she said made him really angry. He was still her husband, but she dared see another man.
"Go to the hospital," he muttered.
Xavier froze, wanting to say that Ms. Shawn probably didn't want to see him.
But he didn't dare to say it.
Natalie had to finish one last bottle of saline at the hospital.
Chris brought them a big dinner.

With a smile, he said, "Natalie, letjoin you too. You're usually so busy. | barely have a chance to ask you out
to dinner."
"Sure. The meal is more enjoyable when I'm accompanied by two attractive men.
Easton reached the doorway and overheard Natalie's words.
The anger he had managed to suppress quickly surged inside again.
He cursed inwardly, 'Damn Natalie! She's out here flirting with other men again!"
Easton didn't enter the room; he just turned and left. She had plenty of men with her; she didn't need him.
Xavier sighed, helplessly handing the fruit to the nurse before leaving with Easton.
The hospital room felt as cozy as ever.
Natalie smiled. "You devote so much tto your patients that we hardly ever get to eat together."

Chris said, "Hah. That's because I'm not as sinart as you."
Chris looked at Jacob and reminded him, "Jacob, make sure you focus on your upcoming university studies.
Natalie is incredibly talented.
"She skipped grades to finish all her coursework while others were busy with college entrance exams. In the past
two years, she has also completed her graduate studies. She is truly a top scholar." "I will," Jacob replied, his
eyes shining with admiration.
Chris glanced at Natalie again and joked playfully, "Natalie, do you think the Simpsons would regret kicking you
out if they knew how talented you are?"
Natalie chuckled softly. "Chris, do you think those who wish you die ever regret it?"
"Hah, girl, isn't that trouble you brought on yourself? If you hadn't fallen head over heels for Easton, nobody
would've been able to hurt you." Chris slid the bowl! of oatmeal in front of her. Natalie gave a bitter smile. "I've
learned my lesson, alright? | won't fall in love again in this lifetime. From now on, I'll just focus on my career."
"That's right. With your talent and academic prowess, the world is at your feet, and money will practically come
to you. It was definitely not worth wasting three years on a worthless man" "Yes, Chris, you're absolutely right."
Natalie chuckled in exasperation.
Jacob's gaze dimmed. He thought, 'Does Natalie have someone he likes now? Was it the guy who picked her up
from the
hospital that night?
'But why does she want a divorce?
"That man was sitting in the car; | didn't get a clear look at him that night.
Jacob lowered his head and kept eating, silently listening to the conversation between Natalie and Chris.
"Natalie, your hand needs about three months to recover. The flesh here is badly damaged; whoever attacked
you intended to hurt you seriously," Chris said, looking at Natalie with concern
A hint of murderous intent appeared in Natalie's eyes.
"That's true, but I'm not going to let him get away with it. He started it," said she.
Chris thought carefully and asked, "Do you think this guy might be working with Easton and Jennifer?"
Natalie replied, "He might. Easton would do anything for Jennifer, and if Jennifer is collaborating with the Spencer
family, Easton might help her out too.
"But we don't have any proof. | discovered that Jennifer had met with Maxwell. But so far, Easton hasn't taken
yet."

"If you wait for him to act, you will get schemed against again," Chris said, looking at her worriedly.
Natalie laughed in exasperation. "Chris, can't you just wish something good forfor once?"
Chris muttered, "But you're in a difficult situation. Back then, we told you that the Simpson and Garcia families
were trouble, but you threw yourself in for the sake of alleged family ties and ended up getting hurt badly. "I
want to give you a good smack every t| see you."

Natalie chuckled and quickly changed the subject, "This oatmeal tastes pretty good."
"Of course, it does. | had my chef make it. Once you're better, I'd like to invite you and Jacob to cto my
place. I'll have the chef prepare stop-notch lobster sashimi for you."
Natalie turned to Jacob, saying, "Jacob, keep that in inind; once m discharged from the hospital, we'll go to his
place for a meal."
Jacob looked at her bright smile and chuckled. "Alright, Natalie.
Chris said, "You're afraid that | might run away? James is coming back soon. When's Gordon coming back?
"Gordon still owesa meal. My family has a project and needs to work with him, so I'm waiting for him to
cback."
Natalie smiled. "Gordon won't be back until my birthday, so there's no rush. You can collaborate with him when
he's back."
"Sure. I'm really busy right now; many patients in the hospital are waiting forto operate." Chris was truly a
compassionate doctor who cared about his patients.
The patients in his care were all well looked after, which was the original intention of his pursuit of medicine.
Natalie could confidently entrust the hospital to him; he was the perfect candidate for the chief of the hospital.
After dinner, Jacob wouldn't leave, so Natalie said with a smile, "Jacob, I'll be hsoon. | can bandage myself
there. Your grandma is getting discharged soon; have you found a place where you'll be staying?"
Natalie seemed to remember that he had sold his house to save his grandma.
Jacob said, "Natalie, you've givenplenty of money. | can just rent a place."
After giving it sthought, Natalie said, "You and your grandma can stay in my place near your university at
Maple Street, | will tell you the password of the apartment. Don't feel pressured. | have many properties and
don't like renting them out.
"You're my friend. You're welcto take your grandma and stay there. A house needs to be inhabited to have a
lively atmosphere. The house is spacious in a clean neighborhood; it's good for your grandma's health."
When it cto Grandma, Jacob couldn't refuse. He would repay Natalie in the future. "Natalie, thank you."
Natalie gave a slight smile. That was all she could do for him.
