Chapter 701
After a short time, Natalie also woke up in a dazed manner. When she saw Matthew sitting next to her,
she was obviously a bit bewildered.
“Nat, you’re finally awake! How are you feeling?” Matthew asked excitedly.
Natalie looked at Matthew and whispered, “Matt, I-I’m not dead? You… How did you get here?”
Matthew’s eyes were filled with tears. “Silly girl, of course you’re not dead! I won’t let you die! I’ve cured
you, so from now on, you’re free from illnesses!”
Huh? Is this real? “Matt, y-you’re lying to me, right? I don’t think it’s possible to cure my illness!”
However, Matthew simply laughed. “How could I possibly lie to you? If you don’t believe me, get out of
bed and walk.”
Skeptically, Natalie got out of bed and took a few steps. To her surprise, she could walk naturally and
with the utmost ease. In that instant, her eyes went wide and were full of incredulity. After all, before
this, she was so sick that she could barely walk. After she got sick, her body was frail too, and she
would gasp for breath even after just taking a few steps. Now, her body was as light as a feather and
even better compared to how she was before she got sick. Completely astonished, she exclaimed,
“Matt, y-you really cured me? This is wonderful! I can now be with you forever!”
Natalie excitedly jumped into Matthew’s arms and immediately began to bawl again. This girl, who was
brave enough to jump down from the stairs in the first place, did so in order not to drag Matthew down
with her. In her heart, she relied on Matthew the most and couldn’t let go of him. Now, she could finally
be with Matthew and would no longer drag him down. Thus, she really was very happy. Matthew’s eyes
were also moist for a moment there; he hugged his sister and said in a low voice, “Okay, don’t cry
anymore. Mom told me to protect you well and not make you cry. If Mom knows you’re crying, she’ll be
sad!”
Natalie choked back her tears and shook her head, clinging to Matthew for dear life and not letting go
as if once she let go, all this would be lost. Matthew lightly smiled; when he was a child, he often
carried Natalie on his back. At that time, it was this feeling that he felt. Life was good when one’s loved
one was around!
After a long time, Natalie gradually recovered from her state. She looked around in surprise and said,
“Matt, where are we? This hospital room is too luxurious, no? Matt, how much does this cost? H-How
did you get so much money? You’re not doing anything shady, are you?”
Matthew laughed as he stroked Natalie’s head. “Silly girl. From now on, this is our house. This is our
home! I didn’t do anything stupid, and I got this place with my hard-earned money!”
Huh? No way! “This is our house? It can’t be, can it? This house has to cost more than a million! Matt,
how much money did you earn there?”
“Hahaha! Nat, you’re just in the bedroom now. You haven’t gone out to take a look yet. When you go
out and take a look, you’ll know that this house is definitely not just more than a million. As for how I
make all this money, when you go back to my company and see the real estate I developed, you will
know!”
As for the matter of the jade pendant, Matthew did not intend to tell Natalie for the time being. After all,
she was still young and could easily be tricked into revealing it. Once these things were revealed,
Matthew would face endless trouble. Perhaps even the enemies who exterminated the Larson Family
back then would seek them out. Therefore, Matthew could only say for the time being that he was
earning from his business.
Although Natalie didn’t really believe it, she was still thrilled and immediately pushed the door to go out.
“Really? Let me see how big this house is!”
When she walked out and took a look, she was dumbfounded. Now, she was right outside the master
bedroom on the second floor, and a glance from the second floor showed the whole house in full view.
It was so glorious that it made her wonder if she had entered a fairytale palace. She couldn’t have
dreamed or imagined any of this!
