Chapter 182
Natalie lost all hope when she realized this. As time passed, her struggles became weaker and she gradually lost consciousness.
Just when she thought she was definitely going to die, two female voices came from outside the restroom. “Hey, why do you need me to accompany you just to the restroom?”
“I just need a buddy!”
“Fine, I’ll wait for you at the door. Make it quick.”
“I know, I know.”
With that, a clear click-clack of high heels came from the entrance.
The man cursed out loud and released Natalie before dashing out of the restroom.
The two women were clearly shocked. “What’s going on? Why is there a man in the female restroom?”
“Go in and take a look!”
Soon, two sexily dressed women came in and saw Natalie whose head was still in the sink. They were taken aback and immediately stepped forward to help her. “Are you alright?”
Natalie was completely weakened and could only lean on one of the women while panting heavily. She could not even open her eyes. “H-help me c-call the p-police…”
“Okay, yes, I’m on it right now.” The other woman immediately nodded and called the police with her cell phone.
“Thank you…” Natalie thanked her profusely.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
If not for their sudden appearance, she might just have died right here.
“It’s all right. Let me help you get outside.” The woman supporting Natalie said.
“Mmhmm.” Natalie replied.
There was a waiting bench outside the restroom. The moment she helped Natalie sit down, Natalie’s cell phone rang.
The woman who made the police report handed in her bag.
Natalie thanked her again and took out her cell phone from her bag. “Mom…”
Hearing how weak Natalie sounded, Yulia became worried. “Baby Girl, what’s going on?”
“Mom, someone wants to kill me.” Natalie gripped her phone tightly and sobbed fearfully.
Yulia sprang up. “What?”
“Mom, I’m outside the restroom.”
“Okay, I’m coming right now!”
After she hung up, Natalie hugged her knees and began bawling out loud.
The other two women did not know what to say at this sight. After all, this was not the kind of experience that could be soothed with a few words of comfort and advice.
In a few minutes, Yulia and Stanley arrived with the two children.
Both children were shocked into tears when they saw Natalie in such a disheveled state.
“Mommy, are you alright?” Sharon tugged onto Natalie’s hands and cried breathlessly.
Connor clenched his fists and asked furiously, “Mommy, who tried to hurt you?”
“I don’t know.” Natalie shook her head as she replied with her pale face.
Stanley went up and draped his jacket over Natalie. “Yulia, bring Connor and Sharon aside. I’ll give Nat a quick check-up.”
“Yes, of course.” Yulia immediately followed his instructions.
Even though Stanley was a neurologist, he was more than capable to perform a simple examination.
After the examination, he let out a little sigh of relief. Before Yulia and the children could ask anything, he said, “She is fine. It’s just that she was briefly deprived of oxygen, and was in a state of huge shock. She should be fine after some rest.”
“That’s good to know.” Yulia patted her chest. Then, she asked, “Baby Girl, tell me what happened?”
Natalie pulled the jacket closer to herself and looked at the restroom door listlessly as she recounted the whole episode.
Yulia was in tears after she heard everything. “Who is this bastard who wants my daughter’s life?”
“Don’t be too agitated, Yulia.” Stanley supported her but his eyes never left Natalie. “Nat, did you manage to see that guy’s face?”
“No, he was behind me the whole time. I had no chance to look at him at all.” Natalie shook her head. The mention of that man clearly made her voice quiver.
Stanley glanced at the two women who had saved Natalie. “What about you?”
“We didn’t either. He dashed out and he had a hat on too.” The women replied.
