Chapter 373
When Natalie got in the car, Easton opened the passenger door Puzzled, she asked, “What are you doing? Get out. I have something urgent to handle, and you’ll complicate things by coming along.”
Easton reminded her coldly, “This is my car.”
In a hurry, Natalie blurted out, “We’re still married, which makes this joint property. So it would help if you stepped out. I have something to take care of.
Easton was slightly taken aback, thinking, ‘Well, now we are married. She only admits to being married to me when
necessary.
“Where are you going? I’ll go with you. It’s too late for you to be but alone, and I’m concerned,” Easton insisted, knowing someone might be following Natalie and she could be in danger at any moment.
Natalie knew Easton was more stubborn than a bull, so rather than arguing, she drove away. All the way, Natalie’s driving was steady and quick.
Easton suddenly remembered the sights he saw that night during the race. Natalie’s actions were so graceful and absorbing; that night, he was deeply impressed by her. He thought about it and asked, “When did you learn to race?”
Natalie replied, “Around thirteen, I trained at a special track. It was exciting, so I practiced for about two hours every day. There’s so much to learn, and I’m not that great at it yet.”
Easton couldn’t help but curl his lip. He thought, ‘She is humble, saying she isn’t that good, yet she drives better than anyone else. I have been left far behind long ago. Turns out, I am the one who isn’t good enough.‘
Natalie was well–versed in all sorts of luxury cars, thanks to Harley. Harley loved cars, but Lambert didn’t allow Harley to join the industry because he thought racing was dangerous.
When Lambert discovered that Natalie had been influenced by Harley, Harley was punished by having to kneel all night. After that, Harley never dared to take Natalie racing again, as racing was dangerous after all.
Easton asked, “So, what about design? How old were you when you started learning?” He found it hard to believe that Natalie could excel in multiple things at once.
Natalie replied, “The year I saw you, I was 16. I was admitted as an exception. Didn’t you know? You looked into it, so the dean should have told you.”
She had been smart and quick–witted since she was a child. Lambert noticed her talent and arranged various tutors for her. Easton asked again, “And what about your medical skills? When did you begin learning that?”
Natalie smiled and said confidently, “Around six years old, I suppose. I was more interested in medicine and research. In the winter, much like this one, I got sick and felt terrible.
“After the doctor gave me some medicine, I felt better the next day. It seemed magical, so told my granddad I wanted to learn
medicine, and he found me the best doctor.” When Natalie spoke about her past, her face was full of pride.
Easton asked again, “So why were you in that impoverished town when Jason went to pick you up?”
Natalie explained, “Isn’t it clear? I bought a mountain there to grow the herbs I need specifically. Otherwise, do you think you could find those unusual medicines for your leg injury on the market?
“Your eyes could fully heal because of the herbs grown on that mountain. They’re quite rare.”
Easton was slightly surprised. He said, “So the cool and strong–smelling medicine you applied on my eyes every day was

picked from there? But you clearly said..”

Natalie said, “Because I was young, and none of you believed in be. Even you thought I took the happiness meant for Jennifer. So I told Anne I found a miracle doctor to treat you”
Natali told Easton everything. She decided not to hide this lifetime. She didn’t want to compromise herself anymore; she wanted Easton to know what she had done.
She thought, ‘What’s done is done–why should I stay quiet when I have a voice to speak? All the credit is mine; why should it go to Jennifer?‘
Natalie continued, “Sometimes I think you people are quite foolish. You judged me without knowing the full story, and I was always on the receiving end, yet you blamed me for everything
“That’s why I insisted on divorce. The gap between us is filled with too much to be healed.”
Natalie tried to have a real conversation with Easton. She didn’t plan to do anything reckless or get back at Easton, unless she wanted to risk her life.
Easton had no reason to disagree when this subject was mentioned.
Seeing Easton stay silent, Natalie casually said, “Easton, from now on, I would rather let down every man in the world than let any man let me down. So, just step aside and live happily ever after with your dear first love.”
Seeing Natalie’s bright smile, Easton realized she had truly let go. He kept a serious face and said nothing.
When the car stopped in front of the Spencer family mansion, Easton asked with anger, “Natalie, did you rush out in the middle of the night just to see Murray?”
Natalie nodded and said, “Yes! Emma said Murray had a nightmare and was scared, so she asked me to check on him.” Easton was fuming with anger. He thought, ‘How could it be possible that Murray, a grown man, was frightened by his nightmares?‘ He just couldn’t believe it.
Natalie opened the
car door and got out. Easton quickly did the same and followed her inside.
Natalie heard Murray’s frantic shouts as soon as she entered the mansion. She was taken aback by the shouting. She wondered what was going on. Natalie said, “Emma, Murray he…”
wrong with Murray. He Emma’s face was streaked with tears. She shook her head and said, “Natalie, I have no idea what’s started shouting in the middle of the night and wouldn’t open the door. He kept insisting he needed to see you.”
Natalie said, “Emma, I’ll go up and take a look.”
Emma was still in her pajamas. When she saw Natalie arrive, she sighed in relief.
Natalie quickly went upstairs, with Easton closely following her.
Natalie found the room where Murray was staying and knocked on the door. She said, “Murray, it’s Natalie. Can you open the door?”
The previous shouting suddenly stopped. Natalie knocked again and said, “Murray, please open the door?”
Suddenly, the door swung open. Murray, wearing light gray pajamas, appeared unsteadily at the door. “Natalie, you’re here,” he said, hugging her tightly.
Easton’s expression grew colder. When he saw Murray’s face full of tears, he stopped. He thought, ‘What kind of man is he? Trying to get a woman’s attention by crying?‘.

Natalie gently patted Murray’s back and said, “Murray, it’s okay. Everything’s going to be fine. You’re going to be alright.

Murray chuckled and said, “I know it was you who saved me. If i weren’t for you, do you know what would have happened to me by now? I might as well be dead today.” He cried his heart out.
Natalie was a bit surprised and suppressed the curiosity in her heart. She thought, ‘It’s strange; even if Murray dreamed about things from the past life, he shouldn’t be suffering like this
‘Is he in so much pain because other secrets are hidden in his memory?‘
