My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 684

The bullets landed on Benjamin's clothes and helmet, then dropped onto the yacht's deck. It was as if they weren't real bullets.

"Miss Godfrey, don't be afraid. These clothes are specially made. They can even protect you from the impact of explosives. Ordinary bullets are useless against us," Benjamin said. The only problem now was when they went ashore.

After all, even if they had special clothes on, he couldn't possibly hold up against dozens of men with Natalie in tow.

Natalie's breathing sped up. "I need to give this Tobias, then, since it can withstand explosives. He'll be fine once he wears this. Benjamin, turn back around, I need to give this to Tobias." Benjamin looked pained.

He didn't tell Natalie that Tobias had gotten these clothes prepared in the shortest time possible. It was a newly developed product, and they only had two sets at the moment.

He could sacrifice his own life and give the clothes he was wearing to Tobias.

But there was no time.

It would only take one second for the explosives to detonate. Tobias did not have the time at all. Queenie would not wait for him.

By the time Tobias wore the clothes, the explosives would have already been detonated. Everyone would die.

Benjamin could only pray that Tobias would be fine.

However, could he really be fine?

Earlier, when he was waiting by the shore, Benjamin was almost certain that Tobias would die.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

An earth-shattering explosion came from the shore, and then countless flames could be seen.

"Miss Godfrey, be careful." Benjamin threw himself at Natalie.

The fire was still spreading rapidly.

The men standing on the shore instantly fell to the ground.

Natalie felt as if she was in a raging fire, and her whole body was alternating between cold and hot.

She closed her eyes tightly, and her eyelashes kept trembling.

Standing in front of her were a doctor and Benjamin.

Benjamin asked the doctor, "She's fine, right?"

The doctor nodded. "There's nothing wrong with her. The clothes protected her from the impact of the explosives, but she was too frightened. That's why she passed out." Benjamin nodded.

He was in a panic.

The explosives were detonated. Everything within miles of the ship died, even the fish in the sea.

The explosion caused a sensation in the city.

The men on the shore had only died from the impact because the shore was far away from the ship.

There probably weren't even any remnants of the ship left.

The rims of Benjamin's eyes turned red.

He was sure that Tobias was dead.

He had died in that explosion.

Even if he were a god, it was impossible for him to escape.

At this moment, Benjamin's mobile suddenly rang.

It was a notification that he had received an email.

Benjamin opened the email subconsciously, and his pupils dilated in an instant.

His breathing stopped.

This email was actually from Tobias.

Could it be that Tobias... Benjamin opened the email with trembling fingers. When he saw the contents, the light in his eyes died out.

The email was a scheduled one.

Tobias had scheduled it before he'd gone to save Natalie.

Perhaps, if there was enough time, Tobias might have been able to come up with a better plan.

But he did not have time.

The longer Natalie stayed on the ship, the more dangerous it would get.

He could only exchange his life for Natalie's.

This was the best decision, the only decision he could make in that instant. Benjamin finally let his tears flow.

He had never been in love before, so he did not know what love was like.

However, he had witnessed how Tobias treated Natalie.

He suddenly understood.

This was love.

Benjamin wiped his red eyes.

After a while, his cell phone rang again.

When he saw who was calling, Benjamin felt unbearably upset.

The person calling was Cecilia.

Benjamin did not know whether he should pick up.

Tobias was Cecilia's only son. If she were to replace out that he was dead, how could Cecilia bear it?

The phone kept ringing.

Finally, Benjamin picked up.

"Benjamin, I saw the news about an explosion by the seaside. Does it have anything to do with Tobias? Where is he?" Cecilia's voice was panicked.

The explosion was too sensational. There were countless media reporting about it.

Benjamin choked up.

Cecilia became even more anxious. "Benjamin, hurry up and tell me."

He finally spoke up, his tone filled with pain. "Madam, Mr. Whitlock... Mr. Whitlock was on the ship when the explosion happened."

On the other end of the line, Cecilia blacked out.

Natalie saw countless blazing lights.

The fire spread out endlessly and nearly dyed the whole sky red.

She also heard the deafening sound of explosions, one after another.

The sound of the explosions combined composed a deathly melody.

Tobias!

Natalie suddenly opened her eyes.

Everything in her vision was white.

She looked around in a panic. She wanted to see Tobias.

However, she couldn't replace him no matter where she looked. All she saw was Benjamin.

Benjamin stood there in a daze.

Natalie sat up all of a sudden.

"Benjamin, where is Tobias? Has he gone to buy me something to eat? Where is he?" Natalie stared at Benjamin.

Benjamin's heart ached.

"Say something, Benjamin." Natalie suddenly raised her voice.

"Miss Godfrey, Mr. Whitlock... Mr. Whitlock is gone!" Benjamin said, gritting his teeth.

He hadn't seen Tobias' body, nor could he, seeing that he'd been blown to pieces. However, Benjamin was sure that Tobias was dead.

It was impossible for him to still be alive, judging by the force of the explosives.

Even himself and Natalie had only made it out alive because they'd been wearing special clothing, and also because they were far away from the ship.

How could Tobias have made it out, when he'd been defenseless on the ship?

Natalie was stunned.

After a moment, she smiled and said, "Benjamin, stop trying to trick me. Tobias must have gone to get food for me. He knows I love bagels from that particular shop, and it's really far away. He must have gone there to get some for me, right?"

She looked at Benjamin expectantly.

Benjamin did not say anything.

Natalie knocked herself on the head. "Maybe not. He said that he's going to bring me to Cameron City, and I heard there's plenty of good food there. He's just preparing for our trip there, he's going to surprise me, right?"

Benjamin still did not say anything.

Natalie was a little flustered. "How can I only be thinking of myself? Tobias is such a busy man, he might not necessarily be handling anything related to me. Maybe he's gone to the company. I should go visit him there, then. He'd definitely be happy to see me."

After saying that, Natalie was about to get out of bed.

Benjamin couldn't hold it in any longer. "Miss Godfrey, Mr. Whitlock... Mr. Whitlock is gone!"
