Chapter 5


    On one end of the corridor in the hotel, Natalie wore a pleased expression as she looked at the


    situation unfolding. Since Britney likes Justin so much, I would very much like to see if she would still


    feel the same after news of thises out! Beep. Then, Natalie’s phone notification interrupted her


    thoughts and pulled her back to reality. Upon noticing that it was a phone call from Hillside Vi, she


    immediately swore inwardly before she picked up her phone and left the hotel. “Mrs. Langston, bad


    news. There’s a situation with Mr. Langston right now…” Casper’s treatment could not be stopped once


    it had begun. That meant that Natalie had to perform the treatment daily at the same time. Since she


    had personallye over to watch Justin make a fool out of himself publicly, she had nearly forgotten


    about this. It was only after she returned to Hillside Vi with great haste and performed the daily


    treatment on Casper did his condition stabilize. However, Mrs. Jenkins had also contacted the


    Langstons’ family doctor, as she was beside herself with worry. Since Casper’s symptoms had already


    disappeared by the time the doctor checked up on him, she saw no need to notify the Langston


    Residence. After the doctor left, Natalie gave a brief exnation to Mrs. Jenkins before she went back


    to her room. Soon after that, Natalie received a call from Britney. “Natalie Hartwell! You b*tch! How


    could you do this to Justin?! It’s all because you tricked him that his reputation is down the drain! I’m


    going to kill you for this!” Britney was furious. Initially, she had thought that after she took everything


    from Natalie and married into the Lewis Family, she would forever be freed from being in the shadows


    of Natalie. However, she had never expected Natalie to ruin her ns. Thus, she was so furious to the


    extent of wanting to end Natalie’s life with her own two hands. Natalie lowered her eyelid slightly. “I


    tricked him? Do you think that Justin Lewis is the kind of man that would be tricked into going to a


    hotel? Why are you calling me about this rather than calling him out? Ask that man why he was in a


    hotel in the first ce.” With that, Natalie immediately ended the call, as she did not want to listen to


    Britney’s nonsense. Then, Natalie turned her attention to theatose man in the bed before she said


    softly, “Casper Langston, would you think that I’m heartless if you could hear what I’ve said? But, they


    are just getting their just deserts!” … With Justin’s hotel scandal all over the news, everyone started


    specting whether the Hartley Family would break off the wedding. However, both the families


    involved had announced that the marriage would be held as scheduled and had even worked behind


    the scenes to bury the scandal from the people’s minds. Just like that, a month passed in the blink of


    an eye. In order to avoid the prior incident from happening again, Natalie had stayed home for the past


    month without going out much. Tonight, she had juste out of the shower and was about to go to


    bed as usual when she noticed theatose Casper suddenly opened his eyes. “Ah!” Natalie shouted.


    Then, after a brief moment of her frozen on the spot, she immediately ran out of the room to find Mrs.


    Jenkins. “Mrs. Jenkins, Casper’s awake!” Soon, news of Casper regaining consciousness spread


    throughout the Langston Family. Not even half an hour had passed when Ethel came over with a


    doctor. After the doctor finished performing a checkup on Casper, the doctor said with joy, “This is a


    miracle! Old Mrs. Langston, I have never seen a patient who had been in aa for so long to have


    woken up! This is truly a miracle! Since Mr. Langston’s body seems normal without any abnormalities,


    he will be fully recovered after a few follow-up treatments!” It was only after the doctor finished


    exining did Ethel shed tears of joy over Casper waking up. Lying in bed, Casper’s gazeced with


    slight gloom fell on Natalie. Slowly, he asked, “Who… is… she…?” Since he had just awakened from a


    long period ofa, his manner of speech was akin to a child learning to speak for the first time.


    Furthermore, his voice was still hoarse and deep, but still had an impactful feeling to it. The bedroom


    immediately fell into silence, as no one dared to exin the situation. Ethel wiped the tears off one


    corner of her eyes before she exined, “Casper, her name’s Natalie. She’s the wife I’ve chosen for


    you when you were in aa.” Just as Casper sat up with the support of others, his gloomy eyesid


    squarely on Natalie, as though he was looking at an intruder in his home. “What about her?” Her?

    Who? Ethel’s expression turned slightly troubled before she sneered, “Casper, just forget about that


    woman. She immediately left abroad not long after your car ident and had even said that a young


    girl like her would never marry a living dead man. Only Natalie was willing to marry you even though


    you were in aa, so you’ll—” Casper interrupted her with a cold hostility in his tone. “How good can


    she be if she chose to marry a living dead man? I don’t need this marriage, so just tell her to get out of


    the Langston Family.” As Ethel was already agitated, she immediately fainted after hearing Casper’s


    remark. Immediately, the surrounding people rushed her to the hospital and left both Casper and


    Natalie alone in the room.
