Tears, lies, And a Heart of Fire Novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228 Natalie Hangs Up Fast Jensen froze for a moment . Natalie had blocked me ? How could that be ? Refusing to believe it , he searched for her WhatsApp account , but no matter how he tried , he couldn't find it . Panic tightened in his chest . " Give me your phone , " he ordered the butler . The butler didn't understand why , but still handed it over . Jensen dialed the number from memory , but the call didn't go through ; then he remembered -Natalie had changed her number . Last time , he had only gotten it because Hansel had tracked it down for him .

Staring at the unfamiliar digits on the screen , Jensen felt a twist of bitterness . Natalie had always been sentimental . She had stayed with him for five years without ever changing her number - because that number was tied to the date they had first met . And now she had even given that up ? His throat worked as he swallowed , an ache rising out of nowhere . He dialed her new number . Natalie was just finishing the last strokes of her design when her phone rang . Without looking , she swiped to answer . " Who is this ? " Hearing her voice made Jensen's eyes sting .

" Natalie , it's me ." Her brows pinched together . Didn't I block him already ? Glancing at the caller ID , she saw it was an unfamiliar number and immediately understood . " What do you want ? " 1/4 The chat logs had thoroughly disgusted her ; she didn't even want to speak to him . Jensen heard the chill in her tone and rushed to say , " My mother's missing . Do you know where she is ? " " Your mother's missing - what the heck does that have to do with me ? If something happened , call the police , I can't help you with anything . " Natalie ended the call .

The droning busy signal rang in Jensen's ears , making him feel sick and empty . " Mr. Jensen ," the butler said quickly , " why does Natalie sound so arrogant with you now ? Was all that gentle sweetness before just an act ? " " Shut up ! " Jensen shot her a glare and shoved the phone back at her . " If I hear you say one more bad word about Natalie , you're finished . " With that , he strode away . Just then , a car pulled up in front of him . " Mr. Jensen ? I'm Natalie's attorney . I'd like to discuss the matter of those chat logs you sent her .

" A man stepped out , gold - rimmed glasses perched on his nose ; one look , and it was clear he wasn't someone to be taken lightly . Jensen's brow furrowed . Of course he knew about the chat logs . His intention had been simple , to push Natalie into contacting him so they could reminisce about their past , maybe soften her feelings toward him again . But now she had sent a lawyer ? A crushing weight pressed on his chest until he could hardly breathe . " Schedule with my assistant later . My mother's gone missing - I need to find her first . " He sidestepped the issue .

2/4 The lawyer didn't press ; the matter wasn't going away anyway . Mr. Baron's instruction was to first see what Jensen wanted out of this . Jensen climbed into his car and drove straight to the hospital . Sharon , still shaken from Natalie's beating yesterday , had been in a panic - terrified something might happen to the child she carried - so she had demanded endless tests from the doctors and nurses . Now that things had finally calmed down , Jensen pushed open the door . " Jensen ? You're here ! " Sharon brightened instantly , starting to rise . But Jensen only looked at her coldly .

" Sharon , I might allow you to give birth to this child , but that doesn't mean you get to stir up trouble . If I ever hear again that you spoke badly about Natalie to my mother , don't blame me for discarding this child . You should know - if I truly didn't want it , not even my mother could stop me ." Her happiness collapsed , gone in a heartbeat . " So you didn't come to see me today ? You came to warn me not to touch Natalie ? " " Yes . " Jensen's bluntness made her eyes burn with fury . " But I'm your wife ! " " And you know exactly how you got that title . So behave yourself .

" Without another glance , he turned and walked out , unmoved by her angry cries . Even seeing Sharon now left him irritated . Outside the ward , Jensen suddenly remembered the madwoman . That lunatic had been sent by Natalie ? Could that really be true ? He called Hansel . " That woman who attacked Sharon at the hospital - where is she ? " " She's being held at the psychiatric hospital , " Hansel replied . He had thought the woman was clearly unstable , and since Jensen hadn't ordered an interrogation , he'd simply sent her there . 3/4 Jensen frowned , his voice dropping .

" Look into her identity - and why she attacked Sharon in the hospital . Do it quietly . Don't alert anyone , especially not my mother . " 4/4
