"Okay! Tomorrow night then. What do you like to eat?” His cautious voice turned excited.


    Natalie thought for a moment. "Let''s get some local specialties. There''s a ce near the hospital. I''lle find you."


    Natalie agreed, "Sounds good."


    After hanging up, she felt the deadly aura radiating from the man beside her. She heard Sebastian''s cold, deep voice. "That was the man from the hospital.”


    Natalie replied, "Yes. Mr. Griffith, it was only after leaving you that I realized just how many handsome men there are in the world."


    Since he was already angry, she decided to add more fuel to the fire.


    As expected, Sebastian''s face grew even darker.


    Natalie smirked.


    Ha... but she was too much of a coward tough out loud.


    But in the next moment, her karma arrived.


    Sebastian roared at Sean, “Sean, pull over! Tell her to get the hell out."


    Sean stopped the car, only then realizing they were on the expressway.


    They were heading to a meeting in the west of the city and had taken the ring road. Natalie saw they were on the elevated highway. Sebastian was going to abandon her here.


    Natalie let out a cold, bitterugh. "Mr. Griffith, this is the second time you''ve thrown me out on the highway. Sebastian, I hate you. I never want to see you again in this life."


    Sebastian''s heart sank. He wanted to say something, but Natalie had already opened the door, gotten out, and mmed it shut.


    He remembered now. Thest time, Joanna had called him,ining of a stomach ache, and he had dropped Natalie off mid-journey. He hadn''t paid attention to where they were.


    He hadn''t gone home that night, so he never knew how she got back.


    Sebastian''s hands clenched into fists. He had been good to Joanna because she had supposedly saved him multiple times.


    But in the end, it was all a lie. He should have been treating Natalie better, but every time they met, it ended in a fight.


    Before Sebastian could say another word, Sean drove off.


    Sebastian roared, "Sean, who told you to drive? Go back and tell Natalie to get her ass back in the car."


    Sean said, “Sir, Ms. Sanders didn''t walk forward, she went back. She probably saw the exit behind us. She''ll be able to get a cab quickly from there."


    "Last time you left her on the


    highway, she had to walk for two full hours to get home. Her phone was


    187


    in the car, and you were in ash to get Ms. Scott to the hospital."


    "Turns out, Ms. Scott was just having period cramps. A littleter and she wouldn''t have even needed to go to the hospital," Sean added pointedly.


    Sean felt it was unfair to Natalie. She was unlucky to have ended up with a man like Sebastian.


    Sebastian''s eyes narrowed. "So, you didn''t remind me just now? You stopped the car on purpose?"


    Sean shook his head. “Sir, I wouldn''t dare. I was just following your orders."


    Sebastian''s gaze turned icy. "Drive."


    He nced back down the highway. The traffic was heavy, and he could no longer see Natalie.


    Damn that woman. Always testing his patience. If she died, it would serve her right.


    Sebastian was furious, closing his eyes to rein in his rage.


    After getting out of the car, Natalie spotted an exit not far away. She breathed a sigh of relief. This time, she wouldn''t have to walk fortwo hours. Twenty minutes and she''d be off the highway.


    As she walked, tears streamed down her face. Thinking about the past still hurt.


    As she was about to reach the underpass, Natalie sensed a car behind her elerating. A wave of panic washed over her. She spun around to see a car hurtling straight for her.
