Chapter 267
The man was going to kill Tobias. If he gave the gun to the man, would Tobias be able to stay alive?
"Are you giving it to me?" The man asked and suddenly increased his pressure on Natalie's neck.
Natalie's face turned purple.
She could not say anything, but she pleaded with her eyes to tell Tobias not to give the gun to the man.
"I'll count to three. If you don't give me the gun, she'll die in front of you," said the killer. The man stared at Tobias and started to count, "One, two..."
Tobias gave the gun to the man.
The man took the gun quickly.
"Run, Natalie," Tobias immediately shouted at Natalie and threw the gun at the same time.
If Natalie took advantage of the moment to run, even if the gun was taken away, he could still escape.
But Natalie did not want to run at all.
Seeing the gun fall into the man's hand, Natalie suddenly panicked.
She was afraid that something would happen to Tobias.
She subconsciously tried to snatch the gun from the man's hand.
When the man saw that Natalie was trying to obstruct him, he immediately shot at her.
Natalie was stunned when the black muzzle was aimed at herself.
Bang!
Hearing a loud gunshot, she closed her eyes in fear.
Natalie did not feel any pain.
A drop of hot blood fell onto Natalie's face.
Natalie opened her eyes.
Tobias pressed his body against hers. His face was pale, as if he was trying his best to bear the pain.
While the man was shooting, Tobias had covered Natalie with his body.
The shot struck Tobias' body.
Luckily, Benjamin arrived in time and controlled the man.
Looking at the blood gushing out from Tobias' shoulder, Natalie panicked. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
'Are you okay, Tobias? Don't scare me," Natalie said with tears.
"I'm fine," replied Tobias. It sounded like he was gritting his teeth. "I won't die," said Tobias.
The man said that it was alright, but his blood was flowing at a terrifying speed, which made one feel flustered.
Tobias was sent to the hospital.
The entire hospital was completely sealed off because of Tobias' arrival.
All the medical staff were not allowed to leak any news about the incident that happened to Tobias.
Natalie was waiting outside the operating theatre.
She had been crying and it was only later that she stopped crying.
She knew that it was useless to cry there but she could not help crying and hating herself.
She could not help him.
If she had not suddenly broken in, Tobias would have subdued the man.
If she had not grabbed the man's gun, Tobias would not have been shot.
Natalie hated herself so much.
"Miss Godfrey, it's no big deal for Mr. Whitlock. You don't have to worry about it," Benjamin said and comforted Natalie on one side.
Natalie nodded with tears all over her face. She asked, "What's going on? Who wants to kill Tobias?"
Benjamin wanted to say something but stopped.
"Tell me, Benjamin," said Natalie.
Finally, Benjamin blurted it out.
It turned out that the matter was related to Natalie.
Initially, Tobias intervened because of the relationship between Natalie and Qasim. No matter how hard Mr. Lawson begged, it was useless.
Qasim was the only child in his family.
In the end, Mr. Lawson was still mad. He found the killer to kill Tobias for revenge.
Natalie hated herself more after hearing that.
It was because of her again, she thought.
She was like a troublemaker who always brought trouble to Tobias.
She bit her lower lip tightly and her lips were almost bleeding from the bite.
Selina arrived soon after.
Her face was panicked. After seeing Natalie, she rushed over immediately and asked, "Natalie, what's going on? What's wrong with Tobias? How could he get shot? He's so good at martial arts, so how could he get shot?"
Natalie's tears had stopped but they fell again because of Selina.
"Selina, it's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, Tobias wouldn't have been shot," said Natalie.
She ran to the president's office like a fool.
In the end, not only did she not help Tobias, but she harmed him instead.
Natalie felt that she was really stupid.
Selina was stunned for a moment when she heard it.
No wonder she wanted to know how Tobias was shot. It turned out that it was because of Natalie.
She did not know what had happened, but she was sure that Tobias was shot because he wanted to save Natalie.
Benjamin said, "Miss Whitlock, you don't have to worry. It shouldn't be a big deal for Mr. Whitlock."
Selina nodded.
She knew that Benjamin had always been a reliable person. He had said that there was nothing serious about Tobias' condition, so she believed him.
Seeing that Natalie's eyes were all red, Selina could not help but comfort her and she said, "Don't worry, Natalie. Tobias is fine. If he doesn't get shot, you're going to get into trouble. Tobias loves you so much that he would rather get himself into trouble than you."
It would be fine if Selina did not mention it, but when she said it, Natalie cried even harder.
Selina took a deep sigh.
After thinking about it, she made a call to Cecilia.
Although Benjamin said that there was nothing wrong with Tobias, he was shot. She must tell her mother about the matter.
"Tobias has been shot, Mom," she said directly once the phone was picked up.
The person on the other end of the line was silent for half a second.
"What's wrong, Selina?" Cecilia asked with urgency.
"It's not a big deal, Mom. You don't have to worry about it. It's definitely not lifethreatening, "said Selina.
"I'll be right over," said Cecilia. She hung up the phone in a hurry.
At the airport in Agaphen City.
Queenie, Madison and Brayden appeared.
James still had a surplus of funds after winning the prize.
Madison decided to take some money out to go on a holiday for a few days.
Brayden and Queenie agreed to the decision.
They set off for their holiday.
"Mom, we should have come out to play a long time ago. It's boring staying at home every day," Queenie said to Madison.
Brayden looked around the entire time.
It was the first time Brayden was at an airport.
Of course, there was nothing special with the airport. Brayden was looking at the beauties in there.
He found out that there were a lot of beauties at the airport. Brayden was completely lost in his own thoughts.
Suddenly, he discovered the figure of a woman.
The woman wore high-heeled shoes. She was in a hurry, followed by bodyguards, which was particularly eye-catching.
The woman seemed to be a little older, but a young woman could not compete with her temperament and appearance.
Brayden froze.
If it was not for the woman's age, he would have accosted her.
"Brayden, what are you looking at? Your saliva is about to flow out," Queenie said and glanced in Brayden's direction.
Then, she froze too.
What a beautiful woman! She was the kind of woman who could make one go dizzy at first glance.
Furthermore, she had a unique charm.
Queenie quickly came to her senses and curled her lips.
What was the use of being beautiful? Obviously, she was not young anymore. She could not be compared to Queenie.
Madison could not help looking in the same direction as she saw her children looking over.
Then, her brain felt like it was going to explode.
