Chapter 356: Last Wish
Natalie continued to sit in the waiting room, waiting for Albert to wake up so she could finally see him. Yesterday, when he had called her, she had sensed something was off, but she had believed his words when he said he was fine. Now, she deeply regretted not visiting him that very day.
Justin sat quietly by her side, having canceled all his meetings for the day. Natalie hadn’t eaten anything for hours, so he arranged a quick meal for her and gently urged her to eat, even though she clearly wasn’t in the mood.
Hours passed, and it was now noon.
Finally, the nurse approached them. "Mr. Ford is awake. Only two people are allowed to visit at a time."
Sephina, who had been unusually quiet until now, immediately stood up at the news. Natalie wanted to rush to Albert, but knowing that Sephina was his wife, she held herself back—it was only right for her to go first. Jay accompanied Sephina into the room.
Natalie stood outside Albert’s room, anxiously waiting for her turn, her expression a mix of worry and impatience.
"Calm down. You’ll see him soon," Justin whispered softly to her.
She took a deep breath and nodded.
"I’ll get you some water," Justin added gently before walking away.
As soon as he was out of sight, Clara and Briena took their chance to approach Natalie with sneers on their faces.
"Natalie, you’re not even family. What makes you think you can see Father before us?" Clara said sharply, glaring as she noticed Natalie wasn’t about to let them pass.
