Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 1382

The two kids did as told and headed over hand in hand.

Shane then took his shoes off, snuggled up next to Natalie underneath the covers, and hugged her to sleep.

Later that evening, Natalie headed over to the hospital all by herself after dinner.

As Shane had a video conference to attend, he remained in the hotel that night.

Despite having bodyguards with her, there was no telling if Sean would show up all of a sudden.

As such, Natalie decided to leave the kids at the hotel with Shane instead.She knocked on the door of Joyce's ward upon arrival, and Caitlin greeted her with a surprised smile seconds later.

"Ah, Nat, you're here!"

"Yeah! I came over right after dinner!" Natalie replied with a nod.

"Did you come here all by yourself? What about Mr.Thompson and the kids?" Caitlin asked when she saw no one behind her. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Natalie smiled as she explained, "Shane has a video conference to attend, and I figured it'd be inconvenient to bring the two kids out at night, so I had them stay at the hotel."

Caitlin nodded.

"Ah, I see..."

"By the way, you seem to be in a great mood, Mrs.Rivers.Did something good happen?" Natalie asked.

Caitlin broke into a smile as she replied, "Yeah, Joyce is awake!"

Natalie felt overjoyed when she heard that.

"Really? She is?"

"That's right! She only came to a while ago.I thought about giving you a call about it, but you said you'd be coming over tonight, so I figured I'd give you a surprise instead.Why don't you come on in and say hi to Joyce while she's still awake?" Caitlin said while ushering Natalie into the ward.

Joyce was staring blankly at the ceiling as she lay on the bed, seemingly in deep thought.

Jonathan, on the other hand, was peeling an apple while sitting beside her bed.He broke into a smile when he saw Natalie coming in.

"Hello, Nat! Would you like to have an apple?"

"Don't mind if I do, Mr.Rivers!" Natalie replied with a smile.

Jonathan then began peeling another apple while Natalie sat down beside the bed and glanced at Joyce.

Joyce was still spacing out at the time, so she didn't even notice Natalie there until Natalie gently caressed her cheek.

Having been snapped out of her daze, Joyce turned to look at Natalie and asked in a hoarse voice, "Nat?"

"Yup, that's me!" Natalie nodded.

But, I thought you went back to Baycoast…

“What are you doing here?" Joyce asked in confusion.

Natalie deliberately put on an angry face and rolled her eyes as she said, "I'm surprised you have the cheek to ask me that! I leave you alone for one night, and this is what you end up doing? I came rushing over as soon as I heard the news!"

Joyce bit down on her lip apologetically as she knew what Natalie was referring to.

"I'm sorry, Nat..."

Unable to bring herself to stay mad at Joyce, Natalie let out a sigh and lightly jabbed her on the forehead.

"Honestly, why would you do such a thing? Do you have any idea how scared I was when I found out about your suicide attempt? Your parents were terrified when they saw you like that! What if something happens to them due to the extreme shock you put them through, huh?"

Both Caitlin and Jonathan's eyes reddened upon hearing that.

Of course, Joyce knew what she did was wrong.

She was well aware that her parents would be upset about her death, but she figured it wouldn't matter since she couldn't feel the guilt if she was dead.

However, the fact that she survived meant she would have to live with that guilt for the rest of her life.

The weight of it was so heavy that she found herself suffocating from it.

"I'm sorry...I'm really sorry..."

Joyce covered her face and apologized while sobbing.She knew that her actions had terrified her parents to no end, and that they would be absolutely devastated if she were to commit suicide.
