Echoes of a Forsaken Heart Chapter 51
Chapter 51 Victor couldn’t believe his ears when Hamilton dropped that bombshell. He raised an eyebrow, casting a curious look at Hamilton, then at Natalia. “Hamilton, you’re not getting all soft over this woman, are you?” he teased. Eveleen’s eyes were already rimmed with red, a look of hurt painting her features as she turned to Hamilton. Hamilton’s gaze darkened even further. “You’re reading too much into it, Mr. Henkel. I’m merely stating the obvious,” he retorted. After a brief pause, he turned to Eveleen, “How’s the arm? The wound healing alright?” Tears spilled from Eveleen’s eyes in just sec. As she dabbed at them, she also gazed at Hamilton through her frustration, “Do you even care at all?” Hamilton was not in the best of moods. The pallor of Natalia’s face was enough to make his chest tight with unease. So when Eveleen started to cry, he replied with a hint of irritation. “Have I ever not cared about you?” Caught off guard by his tone, Eveleen’s tears began to cascade, “I just wanted a bit more attention from you, that’s all. I didn’t mean anything by it.” She was always the squeamish type, and Hamilton indulged her. For Eveleen, such a plea was nothing out of her ordinary playbook.

I get so scared when they change it, so go with me, please.” Hamilton glanced at the bandage wrapped around her arm and finally nodded. Eveleen’s face immediately lit up with a smile. Victor smirked sardonically at Natalia, who met his gaze briefly before looking away as if nothing had happened. She had thought she was past the pain. But watching this scene, a throbbing ache spread through her chest. It wasn’t that sharp, but it was suffocating. She had been by Hamilton’s side for three long years. However, when he merely spoke up for her, it seemed to others that he had committed a crime. 1/A 13:01 Chapter 51 On the other hand, it seemed expected no matter how well Hamilton treated Eveleen. Natalia mused that Victor was indeed overthinking. How would Hamilton ever feel for her? “I’m exhausted, Mr. Fowler. I need to rest. Could you please show these two out?” Hamilton frowned slightly. He was about to respond when Victor chuckled, “Are you kicking us out?” “That’s right, Mr. Henkel. Quite observant,” Natalia shot back. Victor’s face soured as he sneered at Natalia, “I wasn’t aware that Ms. Jenkins calls the shots around here.” He paused, then turned to Hamilton. “I’ve got other matters to attend to, so I guess our chat will have to wait, won’t it?” he asked. Hamilton glanced at Natalia, “Ms. […]
