Chapter 273
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me, Mom," Tobias said calmly.
Cecilia nodded and said, "Since you have woken up, I'm relieved. Take good care of yourself. I have to go back to the United States."
She asked Natalie to come out with her.
"Natalie, please take good care of Tobias," Cecilia said as she stared at Natalie.
"Mom, don't worry. I will."
Cecilia nodded and said, "Thank you."
Natalie smiled bitterly. There was no need to thank her; this was her duty, after all.
After Cecilia left, Natalie was about to go back into the ward. A nurse hurriedly walked towards Natalie.
"Miss Godfrey," she said.
Since Natalie had been in the hospital over the past few days, she was somewhat familiar with the doctors and nurses in the hospital.
Natalie looked at the nurse and smiled.
"We have to clean Mr. Whitlock's wounds later," the nurse said.
"So we have to change the bandage? I can change it for him," Natalie said. She had helped Tobias clean the wound over the past few days.
The nurse shook her head and said, "Miss Godfrey, this is something you cannot do. The doctor will have to do it."
"Okay," Natalie replied. She was a bit worried as she asked, "Will it hurt? When you're cleaning his wounds?"
The nurse thought for a moment and replied, "It will hurt. We'll need to use tools like scissors to clean it."
Natalie felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard that. It sounded painful.
"Do you have any candy?" Natalie suddenly asked.
She remembered that James would give her candy every time she needed an injection. He told her that it wouldn't hurt as much if she ate the candy.
"As a matter of fact, I do," the nurse said and took out some candy from her pocket.
Natalie took the candy from her and said, "Thank you."
"Miss Godfrey, was that your mother just now? She's so beautiful," the nurse asked.
She saw Natalie talking to Cecilia when she came over.
Natalie hesitated; only then did she realize that the nurse was talking about Cecilia.
She patted her head and replied, "How could that be possible? How could I have such a beautiful mother? That is my mother-in-law."
Madison was her biological mother. She was a burly woman who could end someone just by sitting on them.
Natalie thought to herself, "How could I be so blessed as to have a mother like Cecilia?"
The nurse understood and replied, "So it's Mr. Whitlock's mother. They say that an apple never falls far from the tree. Mr. Whitlock is so handsome and his mother is also so beautiful too. I have worked in the hospital for a long time, but I have never seen a woman more beautiful than Mr. Whitlock's mother."
Natalie smiled upon hearing that.
The nurse was not exaggerating. A woman like Cecilia was a rare beauty who only appeared once a century. Otherwise, how could she give birth to a handsome son like Tobias?
When Natalie returned to the ward, she heard Selina talking nonsense to him.
"Tobias, since you are in a hospital, you should see a doctor while you can and try to check up on 'little Tobias'. This won't do. Natalie has been with us for so long, but she is still not pregnant yet. Mom's worried sick," said Selina.
Speaking of that, Selina sighed deeply and said, "I told Mom about this, but she told me not to think too much. I think I'm the only person in the family who cares about yours and Natalie's sex life."
Natalie was speechless.
She could clearly feel how Tobias felt too. He seemed helpless, speechless, and embarrassed all at once.
It seemed like he could not do anything about this sister of his either.
When Selina saw Natalie come in, she hurriedly pushed her towards Tobias. She said, "Natalie, go and persuade Tobias, and get him to do a checkup on that body part."
Natalie did not know what to say.
Why did Selina have to get her involved in this matter?
It was bad enough that Selina had misunderstood, so why did she have to get Natalie into this as well?
Besides, she had already explained this matter to Selina countless times before. Why wouldn't Selina believe her? Why must Selina think that her guess was the truth?
Natalie looked at Tobias in awkwardness.
Tobias looked at her like that too; his expression was complicated.
Natalie explained, "Tobias, I'm not the one saying this. I understand you..."
She knew just how good Tobias was in bed.
Up until now, she could not forget her first time and how badly she was tortured by that man.
"What do you know, hmm?" Tobias asked indifferently.
Natalie was speechless.
He clearly knew what she meant, but he was still deliberately asking her. How dare he.
Natalie looked at Tobias with a pleading look.
Selina was still there. Natalie could not tell Tobias that she knew how great he was in bed. Also, she knew that his reproductive organ was powerful because she had experienced it before.
Luckily, Tobias understood that Selina was still there, so he did not force Natalie to continue talking about it.
He shot Selina a look of warning and said indifferently, "Selina, don't show up in front of me if you continue to talk nonsense."
"I..." Selina seemed to be reluctant, as if she still had things to say, but she was afraid of Tobias.
When she saw the expression on Tobias' face, she stomped her feet and said, "If you don't want to discuss it, I'll keep quiet. In fact, it's none of my business. I just feel sorry for Mom. She wants a grandson and she still doesn't have one yet."
She stomped out angrily.
Natalie wanted to chase after her, but Tobias stopped her. He said, "It's fine. Let her think it through herself."
Natalie agreed.
If Natalie chased after Selina, she would only think that she was right.
Meanwhile, Tobias looked at Natalie's tummy. He said, "Natalie, it seems like we must have a baby as soon as possible so that they can stop thinking about such things."
Natalie was silent.
She was a little flustered when she heard what Tobias said.
She knew that even though she still behaved as if nothing happened, Winnie's presence still affected her.
Although she could be strong in front of Winnie, she knew that she was only pretending to be strong.
Winnie's words were engraved on her heart.
Soon, the doctor came to the ward. He told Tobias respectfully that he needed to change his bandages in the operating theatre. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Natalie subconsciously wanted to follow him in.
The doctor looked at her awkwardly and said, "Miss Godfrey, it will be quite a bloody scene inside, so it would be best for you to not come with us."
Natalie looked at Tobias and said, "I'll accompany you in. It's going to hurt."
Earlier, the nurse had told her that this would hurt, so she wanted to accompany Tobias.
Tobias saw how determined Natalie was.
He nodded and said, "If you want to come, then let's go together."
The doctors saw Tobias agree, so he did not stop her.
Tobias was lying on the bed of the operating theatre. Natalie was frightened when she saw the doctor start taking out some surgical apparatus.
Natalie took out a candy from her pocket and said, "Tobias, it won't hurt so much if you eat some candy."
