My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Chapter 152

"He has a way to deal with them?" Simon raised his eyebrows, feeling doubtful.

Benjamin grinned, "Mr. Moore, being a gentleman is only one characteristic of Mr. Whitlock. You haven't seen his brute and vicious side."

Simon's eyes glimmered with interest.

A moment later, Tobias walked out.

His face was expressionless.

"Go in and ask your questions," He said to Simon.

Simon walked in. To his surprise, the men who were busy mocking him and laughing at him like a group of rowdy ruffians before were all sitting quietly with a frightened look on their face.

No matter what Simon asked, they gave it all up.

Simon soon understood what had happened before Natalie passed out.

In the evening, Simon came out.

Unlike before, he came out with a heavy face.

Tobias' gaze fell on Simon's face; his breathing unconsciously carrying a hint of anxiety.

"Tobias, Miss Godfrey didn't suffer from any inhumane treatment, but she almost got r*ped. She managed to escape by passing out before the men could do anything," Simon said in a solemn tone.

This was within Tobias' expectations.

When he carried Natalie in his arms in the basement, he had already taken a quick look at her. He did not notice any signs of s*xual assault at the time.

Simon went on, "It's clear that Miss Godfrey isn't unconscious from physical injuries, but rather she has suffered severe psychological trauma. According to what the men told me, it doesn't seem like that alone would constitute the severity of her current situation."

"Then what's the reason?" Tobias' heavy gaze fell on Simon's face.

Simon hesitated for a moment, "I suspect that this incident brought up a deep-rooted memory inside Miss Godfrey. She has likely suffered from s*xual abuse before, and this incident has triggered that memory. Her mind had buried that memory deep inside her as a coping mechanism. When the kidnapping occurred, it's likely that her brain shut down in order to make sure that she doesn't remember the incident."

There was a long silence.

Tobias' body tensed up.

Natalie had been s*xually assaulted before?

But she gave her first time to him.

There was no way she had s*x with someone else before, given that she bled on their bed and with her unfamiliar moves.

What did Simon mean?

"Simon, what should we do now?" He said after a long while.

Despite everything, the priority now was to get Natalie to wake up. It wouldn't be good for her to be in a coma for too long.

Simon frowned deeply. After a while, he said, "Tobias, if Miss Godfrey doesn't wake up soon, her situation might worsen. In the worst case, she might never wake up. I'd like to try something risky."

Tobias' breathing came to a halt.

Simon continued, "I would like to try to awaken her buried memories, and stimulate her with them. She might wake up from the trigger. However, I should warn you that it’s risky, and there's a chance that she might severely affect her brain."

His breathing turned a little rapid.

"Tobias, what do you think?" Simon's eyes were fixed on Tobias. "We're not going to solve anything by waiting."

Tobias fell silent.

"Give me some time to think about it," he said after a while.

Simon nodded.

Tobias then went to the hospital. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Because Natalie was merely unconscious and did not suffer any physical injuries, she was moved out of the emergency room and into an in-patient ward.

Her frail figure laid on the bed. The pale white sheets highlighted her fair skin and her ink-black hair.

She looked like a sleeping beauty.

Tobias stood by the bed and stared at Natalie for a long time.

He recalled how she behaved before this had happened.

Although she was a little self-abased, in general, she was an optimistic and cheerful girl, full of love and hope for life.

She was like a weed. Although she was trivial and could be easily trampled on, she always reached for the sun.

If Natalie was conscious, she probably would not want to continue being in a state of coma.

She wouldn't be able to see the sun rising every day, nor enjoy her favorite food. She would suffer terribly.

Tobias remembered the way Natalie ate. Every time she ate, her face was full of excitement and joy. She could eat three burgers all by herself.

She once told him that eating was one of the greatest joys on earth.

Now that she was in a coma, she could no longer eat anything.

Tobias took a deep breath.

He glanced at Natalie for the last time and resolutely walked out of the ward.

Simon was waiting outside the door.

"Tobias, have you made up your mind?" Simon looked at Tobias.

"How confident are you?"

Simon said straightforwardly, "To tell you the truth, it's my first time attempting this. The chances are slim."

Tobias' eyes wandered for a moment, and after a while, the dim light in his eyes finally gathered together. "Let's do it."

Uttering these three words took every ounce of strength in his body.

Simon nodded.

"Before I come out, no one is allowed to disturb me or come inside. I must have a solitary quiet space."

Tobias nodded.

Then, Simon entered the ward.

The wait lasted an entire night.

Tobias had never felt so agonized during the night.

He couldn't calm himself down at all, he kept pacing irritably outside the ward.

When the sun rose in the morning, Simon finally came out.

There were deep black circles under his eyes, and his face was full of fatigue.

Tobias strode over.

"How is Natalie?"

Simon's voice sounded a little shaky, "Tobias, Miss Godfrey will wake up soon."

Tobias heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Simon paused and glanced at Tobias with hesitation.

Tobias was keenly aware of Simon's sudden change.

He stared at Simon intensely, "Simon, what else do you need to tell me?"

Simon looked at Tobias, "Tobias, what is her relation to you? There's something I'm not sure if I should tell you about."

Tobias immediately stiffened.

After a while, he said clearly, "She is my wife, and no matter what happens, she will always be my wife."

Simon felt relieved after receiving Tobias' confirmation.

He had walked into Natalie's mind.

Seeing Tobias' attitude toward this girl, Simon was sure that their relationship was something else.

If he told Tobias what he had discovered, he was not sure whether Tobias would maintain his relationship with her.

Now that he had received a positive answer, Simon could tell Tobias at ease.

He had been friends with Tobias for many years. He knew that Tobias always kept his promise. Since he had given his word, he would never go back on it.

"Tobias, Miss Godfrey was s*xually assaulted as a child. And not just by one, but by several men," Simon said slowly.

Hearing his words, Tobias got jolted.
