My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Queenie's blood was boiling from exasperation.

If the police officers were not around, she would have slapped Natalie menacingly.

Queenie glared at Natalie furiously.

That b*tch! Natalie will pay when they get to the police station!

"Oh, by the way." Natalie was about to get into the patrol car but suddenly, she turned over her shoulder to stare at Queenie and continued, "Queenie, I forgot to tell you one thing. I did regret it. I really do."

Queenie was taken aback and a hint of smugness crept onto her furious face.

Look, that woman was petrified!

Queenie folded her arms and waited for Natalie to beg for mercy. She was planning to insult Natalie!

The mockery in Natalie's eyes glowed. "I regretted that I didn't stab you to death!"

"You! You, Natalie, you b*tch!" Queenie went ballistic.

Meanwhile, the patrol car drove Natalie away.

Natalie stared out the window as the scenery blurred past and she gave a bitter smile.

That was the first time in her life that she landed a spot in a patrol car. She would need to thank Madison and Queenie for it. If it were not for them, she would never experience it.

In truth, she could have made a phone call to Tobias.

She knew Tobias was very capable. It would only take a few minutes for him to solve the mess and she would be able to get off the patrol car immediately.

However, she did not call Tobias.

Although Tobias would help her, she did not want to trouble him.

In those web novels, the male lead was invincible and he always revolved around the female lead. Nevertheless, Natalie knew that those were just fiction. Tobias was a president of a multinational corporation and he was swamped with work.

There were multiple occasions where Natalie caught Tobias working on his computer at home.

Therefore, Natalie did not want to disturb Tobias for her own problems.

Moreover, it was impossible to keep things a secret. If Tobias used his powers to save her, it would be terrible if anyone heard about it.

She was a nobody but Tobias was a prominent figure. Everyone would amplify his mistakes.

Furthermore, Natalie was hopeful.

She held back when she stabbed Madison, therefore it would not be fatal. Madison would recover after staying in the hospital for a few days. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

In addition, Madison was beating Natalie back then, hence Natalie just retaliated in self-defense. Hence, Natalie assumed that it was not a big deal and she would just be detained for a few days.

It was not a big deal to be detained and Natalie was not afraid. She would just regard it as a prison vacation with free food and accommodation.

After Natalie arrived at the police station, she explained everything to the police officers.

An officer commented, "Anyway, you stabbed your mother and it's serious."

Natalie leaped to her feet and shouted, "What do you mean? It was self-defense! Do you even get it?"

"Mind your manners!" The officer's face turned cold.

Natalie was not frightened. She was not even afraid of Tobias, let alone these officers.

"Also, Madison is your mother, so what's wrong with that? Isn't it normal for parents to hit their children? Are you telling me that children should stab their parents for it? You're being unreasonable."

The officer assumed that Natalie was horrible. He thought that Natalie stabbed Maddison in a fit of anger after getting beaten.

Natalie's blood was boiling and she snapped, "What's wrong with that? Officer, did you see what Madison did to me? Is there a surveillance camera in the park? Can you check the surveillance camera before you say that?"

Madison was trying to beat her to death. That was not normal!

"The suspect is too emotional right now. Let's interrogate her tomorrow." The officer noticed that Natalie was very agitated, hence the officer locked her up in the detention cell.

There were two beds in the dark and muggy small room. A long-haired woman was sitting on a bed with her back against Natalie.

The officer pushed Natalie into the cell.

As the iron bar shut, Natalie suddenly had a nagging feeling.

She realized that things were not as simple as it seemed.

However, no matter what, she should monitor the situation and act accordingly. What other choice did she have?

After sitting on the bed, Natalie made a phone call to Aunt Lee.

Natalie lied to Aunt Lee that she had something to attend to, hence she would be home late.

Natalie knew that Aunt Lee used to sleep early. Hence, even if Natalie did not go back, Aunt Lee would not find out.

"I'll get up very early tomorrow too. I might leave the house before you get up, so you don't have to prepare breakfast for me, Aunt Lee." Natalie was not good at lying, hence her voice did not sound

very conv1nc1ng.

Nonetheless, Aunt Lee did not think too much.

"Alright, I'll leave some sandwich and milk in the refrigerator. Miss Godfrey, you can eat them tomorrow morning," Aunt Lee replied.

After hanging up the call, Natalie was annoyed. She was not sure if Tobias would go to her room again in the middle of the night. What if Tobias found out that she was not home?

However, after pondering about it, she dismissed the idea. She had been living in the apartment for a long time but the previous night, Tobias came to her room for the first time. Therefore, it was safe to conclude that he would not do it again.

Moreover, it was useless to think about that. Natalie should be focussing on the interrogation the next day.

She wanted to clear her name and get out of the detention cell as soon as possible.

In the end, Natalie came up with two conclusions. She should ask the officers to check the surveillance footage in the park and find evidence that Madison and Queenie beat her. That way, she would be able to prove that she was defending herself.

Secondly, she should ask the officers to go to the hospital and check on Madison. That would prove that Madison just suffered a minor injury and it was not as serious as Queenie proclaimed.

Natalie felt much better as she reached the conclusion.

She planned to take a good nap and prepare herself for the next day.

Others might not be comfortable in the dark and humid room but Natalie was used to it. She had been through a lot of hardships, therefore she could not care less about it.

She was trying to sleep but she suddenly heard someone sobbing. In the beginning, the voice was muffled but it grew louder and echoed in the room.

Natalie sighed and she knew that she would not be getting any sleep.

She strode to the other bed and patted the woman on the shoulder. She comforted, "Don't cry. It's not life-and-death, right? You're just detained, so what's the big deal?"

The woman's shoulders quivered and she turned over her shoulder.

Natalie was rooted to the spot when she saw the woman's face. An unprecedented fear appeared in Natalie's eyes.
