"Bia..." Natalie's lips moved, but besides calling out Bianca's name, any words of comfort at this
moment seemed feeble and powerless.
"He doesn't deserve it, Nat!" Bianca exclaimed.
She was talking about Malcolm.
Over the years, Bianca had seen too much in Simeria. So, in her eyes, Malcolm was simply unworthy.
"I know," Natalie said.
"But Zane, he..."
What about him?
What did Bianca want to say?
Did she want to say Zane was innocent?
After all, before her feud with Malcolm dragged Zane into it, Zane and Malcolm had a good relationship
on the surface.
But because of her involvement, their relationship had soured.
And now, in this tense situation, they were even more at odds.
"Don't worry too much. After all, it's just beginning!" Natalie said.
Zane had only disappeared today, and everyone was already panicking!
Before Natalie could say anything else, Bianca said, "Nat, you don't understand."
Natalie didn't know what had happened, so she didn't see the need to be nervous.
But Bianca knew!
No one knew that when she got the news that Zane's car had disappeared near Gilded Stream Peak,
she had frantically called Zane's phone.
She even went to Gilded Stream Peak herself.
But in the end, there were no clues!
If Zane was really okay, he wouldn't ignore her calls.
So what exactly happened?
Bianca recounted everything about Gilded Stream Peak to Natalie. The more Natalie listened, the more
tense she became!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this moment, she realized that things might not be so simple.
Zane's disappearance might not be as straightforward as Bianca said, and that was the most worrying
part.
But now, for Bianca...
"Zane isn't exactly a saint either. For you, no news might be the best news," Natalie said.
After all, he was the seventh son of the Entes family!
If something really happened, it couldn't be covered up.
Bianca was obviously in disarray.
When she didn't find Zane at Gilded Stream Peak, her usually calm thoughts were completely in chaos.
"Does anyone else know about this?"
"Except for the people in this villa, no one else knows!"
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know. I've stopped the news from going out for now."
Bianca was truly lost. In such a critical moment, she had no idea what to do.
Natalie nodded. "Just calm down for now."
After all, Natalie didn't know what the Entes family was really like, so she didn't dare to give casual
advice.
Bianca was now one of the Entes family members, so she understood them better!
At this moment, even if Bianca couldn't stay calm, she knew what could be done and what couldn't.
As Natalie thought...!
Even though Bianca couldn't calm down right now, and her thoughts were extremely chaotic, her first
reaction was very clear!
"Nat."
"Yeah?"
"I'm... worried about him."
Natalie froze for a moment when she heard Bianca's words. In that instant, she seemed to understand
why Bianca was so distraught.
Perhaps this was what people meant when they said too much concern would lead to confusion.
Wasn't Bianca doing that right now?
So, her emotions were out of control not just because of how Malcolm might react to Zane's
disappearance but because of her genuine worry for Zane himself.
So, Bianca was...!
Thinking about this, Natalie's heart tightened. She hugged Bianca even tighter, offering silent comfort.
It was too heavy!
At that moment, Natalie didn't know what to say at all.
Bianca... had fallen for Zane.
Even though Zane had left a good impression on Natalie while working by her side, now...!
In the face of Bianca's emotions, Natalie couldn't help but worry.
Natalie stayed by Bianca's side throughout the night, both of them staying awake. Yet, they didn't
receive any good news.
During breakfast the next day, Natalie said, "I've called my brother to see if he can discreetly look into
it."
Bianca looked at Natalie. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
Zane was really missing.
And at this crucial moment...!
Where was he? Was he... in danger?
All these thoughts swirled in Bianca's mind. Perhaps this was what being overly concerned felt like!
Natalie said, "Have something to eat, okay?"
Seeing Bianca's refusal to eat, Natalie was genuinely worried.
Bianca looked at Natalie. "Nat, I..."
"Now, you need to pull yourself together. If this matter is really related to the Entes family, then you
have a lot to face today, and I... shouldn't linger here."
Natalie didn't say that because she was afraid of anything.
It was a reminder to Bianca of what it meant for Natalie to stay here.
Regarding this, Bianca naturally understood.
If Natalie stayed with Bianca for a long time, it would only arouse more suspicion from those who
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdoubted her, so Natalie had to leave after breakfast.
Although Bianca wanted Natalie to stay by her side, she was thinking more about how to deal with the
current situation.
Bianca had to admit...!
Even though Natalie's days seemed tough in Verde City, at least the Johnson family was relatively
straightforward.
So, when Natalie was unhappy, that was all there was to it. Whenever she felt down, she could go to
Bianca or perhaps go on a trip.
But what about Bianca now?
Her world used to be simple, but now, she was in the midst of turmoil. Whatever she did, she had to
consider the situations she needed to face.
"Things are different now!" Bianca sighed.
"Yeah, they're different," Natalie said.
Things would never return to how simple they used to be back in Verde City. Whether Bianca liked it or
not, everything changed when she got involved with Malcolm.
A bitter smile tugged at Bianca's lips. "I'm fine. You should go back and eat something."
She tried to remain calm, not wanting Natalie to worry. But the more she tried, the more Natalie fretted.
Natalie sighed in the end. At this moment, she couldn't find any words to say.
After breakfast, when Natalie got up to leave, Bianca noticed that Natalie was limping. Her already
uneasy heart was now even more burdened.
"What happened to your foot?"
"It's nothing. I just twisted it," Natalie didn't want Bianca to worry, especially when she was already
feeling troubled.
But Bianca was concerned. "Should I call the doctor to have a look?"
"No need. The fewer people know I spent the night here with you, the better."
Bianca fell silent.
At her words, the suffocation in Bianca's chest grew even heavier.
