Cecilia forced a smile and said, "I just got the news. Natalie isn't dead. She's here, right?"

At the mention of Natalie, Tobias felt a pain in his heart.

"Yes," he said in a deep voice.

"I told you that Natalie is still alive. Tobias, are you here to replace her?" She asked again.

"Yes."

Her fingertips trembled slightly as she asked, "Tobias, what are you planning to do? You and Natalie have already divorced. Both of you should live your own lives now. You can't continue to live like this. I heard that you don't even care about the company's business now."

The veins on Tobias' forehead gradually appeared.

After a long time, he said with a flash of determination in his eyes, "Mother, I want Natalie."

Cecilia's head exploded in an instant.

She looked at Tobias with terror in her heart.

She knew that he already knew the truth, but he still said such a thing.

Countless black lights flashed before her eyes. She was about to faint.

"I will send Natalie's child away. We will never have another child in the future," he said in a painful and trembling voice.

He had considered everything, but he could not consider his own heart.

He wanted Natalie to replace her own happiness, but he discovered that he could not lose her. He could not accept any intimacy between her and other men.

He could not be rational when it came to her.

Cecilia clutched the sofa tightly.

She barely supported herself and stood up. "Tobias, are you serious? Didn't you say that you want to divorce Natalie?"

"I have regretted it."

All the color faded from her face.

The next morning, Cecilia flew back to the United States.

Her heart was full of fear and despair.

At the same time, a decision gradually flashed through her mind.

She couldn't watch her son and daughter make mistakes. She could not let Tobias get farther and farther down the road of incest.

She knew that he was acting on blind impulses now.

She had to help him.

She could not let him and Natalie make irreversible mistakes.

Tobias did not ponder why Cecilia had come and left in such a hurry.

If it was in the past, given his intelligence, he would have discovered the clues.

At this moment, his mind was in a whirl and he could not think about it.

His mind was struggling between madness and rationality, and he could not extricate himself from it.

It was as if he had fallen into a swamp. He was struggling to get out, but he only sank deeper and deeper.

In the afternoon, Tobias received a call from Selina.

"Tobias, come back quickly. Mom is seriously ill. Come back quickly," she said in a choked voice.

He tightened his grip on his phone.

He immediately flew to the United States on the same day.

Selina's eyes were red when he got home.

"Tobias, Mom's complexion is very bad and the doctor doesn't know what the problem is. The doctor said that Mom's body is very weak now. I'm so worried." He strode quickly toward Cecilia's bedroom.

In the bedroom, a man was sitting on Cecilia's bed, holding her hand tightly.

Tobias approached him and greeted him, "Father."

The man looked up.

He looked majestic, and there was a glimmer of sparkle in his eyes.

"Have a good talk with your mother," the man said and stood up.

Lying on the bed, Cecilia's face was very pale, without a trace of blood.

A trace of worry flashed across his eyes. "Mother, are you okay?"

Cecilia looked at him, shook her head and said, "I'm fine. It's just that my body has been too weak recently."

She paused and then said, "Tobias, can you stay here and accompany me with Selina during this period of time?"

She said in a pleading tone.

Natalie's face crossed Tobias' mind.

After a while, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes.

Since his mother was ill, he naturally had to stay by her side.

What was more, he also needed some time to calm down.

"Okay," he said after a short pause.

Cecilia heaved a sigh of relief.

After chatting with her for a while, Tobias walked out of her bedroom.

He went to see the family doctor of the Whitlock family.

The doctor was uncertain about Cecilia's condition. "Madam Lawson's body doesn't have any serious problems, but suddenly, her body became weak. It's probably because she has been under a lot of mental pressure recently."

"Is something weighing on my mother's mind?" Tobias asked with furrowed brows.

This was what the doctor deduced. "The root cause of Madam Lawson's illness should be psychological, but what the specific problem is, this..."

The doctor stopped right in time.

Tobias replied with a nod, "You may leave."

Not long after the doctor left, Selina arrived.

"Tobias, what exactly is wrong with Mom? Since Natalie's death, her condition has not been very good. She only got a little better after I chatted with her everyday. I don't know why, but she started to look pale a few days ago. I heard the servant say that Mom has had no appetite recently."

"You don't have to worry too much. I'll stay here and accompany Mom," said Tobias, his deep gaze on Selina's face.

She nodded, but her tone was still a little worried. "Mom looks really pale. I'm really worried."

Someone knocked on Natalie's door early in the morning.

It was usually Lynn at this time.

She asked Natalie to take a walk every day, saying that it would help her give birth smoothly.

She opened the door.

"Ly..." The word was stuck in her throat.

A man with blond hair stood at the door.

He was tall and big, with deep blue eyes.

"You are?" Natalie had a puzzled look on her face.

"Are you Miss Godfrey?" The man asked.

To Natalie's surprise, he was speaking French, even though he could not speak it fluently.

"I am," she replied. "You are..."

A smell suddenly wafted into Natalie's nose. It was a faint floral fragrance, which made her feel a little dizzy for no reason.

She opened her eyes wide, trying to stay awake.

However, her eyelids got heavier and heavier.

Her body fell back uncontrollably, and the man immediately caught hold of her.

"Miss Godfrey, I'm sorry for being rude." This was the last thing she heard before she passed out.

She was imprisoned.

This was the first thing she found out when she woke up.

She was in a very beautiful castle, with servants, chefs, and bodyguards in black.

Everyone was very respectful to her.

However, she could not go out.

There was someone guarding the castle when she walked out. She could not escape at all.

"Miss Godfrey, please have dinner," the blondhair blue-eyed man said to her respectfully.

He was wearing a housekeeper's uniform.

"Where am I? Who are you?" She looked at the man in front of her warily.

The man smiled and said, "Miss Godfrey, I'm the housekeeper here. You can call me Joshua."

"Did your master ask you to imprison me here? Who on earth told you to kidnap me?"
