Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 179
During lunchtime at noon, in a certain ward of Athana Hospital, Natalie Foster and Sherri Landor were eating in Lena’s
ward.
Trevon Wilson had arranged a VIP ward for Lena. The ward interior was very spacious. Natalie was eating at the coffee table
with Sherri. When Natalie turned around and saw that Lena hadn’t touched her food, her eyes turned slightly red-rimmed. She
stood up and walked over to help Lena eat her food. “Godmother, what’s wrong? Is it not to your liking?”
Natalie had ordered this chicken soup en croute before she went to work. She went to get her order as soon as she came out for
lunch. The taste should be fine. She had seen good reviews for it.
Lena said with tears in her eyes. “When did 1 earn the right to have a daughter like you in this lifetime? I have truly benefited
from a misfortune.”
Sherri turned around and said. “Lena, just accept Natalie. Isn’t it great to have another daughter?”
This time, Lena did not demur anymore. In truth, she wasn’t really demurring. Lena had been serving others her entire life. Now
that she was sick, the person she was serving had turned around to serve her instead. How could she not be touched?
Lena was very agitated. Her hand that was holding the spoon was trembling. A crystal clear teardrop fell onto the pastry top of
the soup. She scooped a spoonful of pastry and soup and put it in her mouth. It was very tasty. This was the tastiest soup she
had ever eaten in her life. “Sigh! I accept. She had to treat Natalie twice as well in the future. Such a child was too hard to come
by.
Fortunately, Jasper was line. Otherwise, what would she do?
Other people did not know how hard it was for Natalie, but Lena knew. Natalie had no parents since she was young. When she
was bullied at a young age, she had to learn to fight back by herself. When she returned home, she would always conceal the
bad things that happened and only report on the good things that happened.
And there was Jasper. When Lena thought about how both she and Jenny had met with mishaps, she wondered what happened
to Jasper. “Who’s taking care of Jasper now? Is she reliable? Is it alright to leave the child with her? Does she have any
experience!”

Natalie looked at Lena who was lying on the bed covered in injuries but still kept thinking about Jasper. She had asked four
questions in a row. “Don’t worry, Godmother. He’s doing very well. I think he’ll be able to dominate the world in a few days.”
“Huh?” Lena didn’t understand what Natale said.
Natalie smiled and did not hide anything. She wanted to reassure Lena. Natalie knew Lena would not be at case if any unfamiliar
person took Jasper away. “Jasper is at his father’s place. He’s very safe and is very well taken care of.”
In order to put Natalie’s mind at ease, Trevon Wilson asked his mother to take a few photos of Jasper playing and send them to
Natalie Jasper was indeed very well taken care of
Likewise, to put Lena’s mind at ease, Natalie took out her cell phone and showed Lena the photos of Jasper playing. After
looking at the photos, Lena was indeed very relieved. The corners of her lips curled up. “Jasper seems to be quite happy.”
Natalie thought, “How can he not be happy? He is living like a Crown Prince every day. Everyone is fawning over him. You have
no idea how much love is showered on him.”
In fact, Natalie was a little worried that they would spoil him too much and when the child came back, he would be out of control.
Lena didn’t know which cursed fellow could be so ruthless as to want to kill a child. How could he bear to kill Jasper, who was so
adorable? “Miss... Natalie, is it safe for you to go to work now?”
Natalie knew that Lena was worried and said light-heartedly. “It’s safe. I still have self-defense skills, don’t I can still fight against
ordinary thugs.”
Sherri mocked Natalie in her heart, “The Landor family’s eight bodyguards were defeated by you, yet you still say that you are
only good enough to handle ordinary thugs. You’re really humble.”
Lena was full after eating half a bowl. Natalie offered her some apple slices. “Eat more. If you feel uncomfortable when Im not
around, just summon the doctor.”
She turned to the caregiver who was busy working and said, “What’s your name?”
The caregiver was a young lady who was about the same age as Natalie. She had been busy working ever since Natalie and
Sherri came in. It was obvious that she was quite diligent, which made Natalie feel much more at ease.

“Just call me Mel. Miss Natalie, feel free to instruct me if you need anything. Mr. Jim Hawk has already given me his instructions.
I will take good care of Lena” Her attitude was assiduous and sincere. There was no trace of scheming in her eyes. Her eyes
were clear and pure.
“Thank you for your hard work. Just call me if you need anything.” Natalie read out her cell phone number to Mel
The caregiver saved the phone number into her phone’s address book and said politely, “Sure.”
When Natalie saw Mel saving the number under the name “Miss Natalie,” she suggested, “You can call me Natalie”
The caregiver smiled. Then I address you as Dr. Foster then. Lena says you are a doctor here.”
“That’s fine too.” Names were only appellations, to begin with. Natalie didn’t mind how she was addressed.
Natalie and Sherri were about to clear the table when they were stopped by the caregiver. “You’re all good people who treat and
save people. Let me do this. This won’t take long. I’m very fast in carrying out my work.”
Lena began to praise the caregiver. “This young lady is especially diligent. She doesn’t talk much, but she’s honest. She does
whatever she’s asked to do. She’s not afraid of getting dirty or getting tired at all.”
Lena could tell that she was truly a young girl who knew how to get things done. She did not have any distracting thoughts.
Whoever married her would have a lot less to worry about.
“Lena. I’m leaving. Call me if you need anything. My cell phone is always on” Ever since this incident, Natalie had changed her
habit of keeping her cell phone on silent mode or even switching it off totally. The first thing she did when she woke up in the
morning was to check whether her cell phone was fully charged and whether the ring volume was turned to the
maximum.
However, when she was working, she would still switch her cell phone to vibration mode. Her cell phone would be placed at the
corner of the desk so that she would not miss any calls again.
Sherri also bade Lena farewell. “Lena, I’m leaving too. I have to get back to work soon. I’ll come and visit you another day. If you
need anything and Natalie is busy, you can look for me too. It’s the same whether you look for me or her.”
Lena hurriedly nodded and voiced her affirmation repeatedly. She told them to go to work quickly and not to visit her if they were
busy.

After walking out of the door, Sherri held her best friend’s arm and asked, “Why did you send Jasper to the Wilson’s residence! If
you don’t want to, I can actually get my mother to help take care of him. He can even keep Ruby company.”
Natalie sighed. She turned her head and said solemnly, “My dear friend, would you believe me if I said that I only found out after
the child has been taken to the Wilson’s residence?”
Sherri looked surprised. “Is Trevon Wilson that despicable? How can he do that?” Initially, Sherri had changed her opinion. of him
quite a bit. Now, she had to deduct his brownie points.
As the two talked, Natalie was about to explain this matter when her phone rang. It was a call from Jim Hawk. “Hello”
“Mrs. Wilson, the Turner family’s bodyguard has regamed consciousness. This news was the best news for Natalie. Finally, there
was divine justice in this world after all. She was finally able to put her mind at ease.
Natalie quickly walked to the ward that Jim mentioned in his closing comments. When she saw that she still had some time
before starting work, Sherri also followed her. Although Ethan White did not have much interaction with Sherri, he was still the
Turner family’s bodyguard and she was indebted to the Turner family. I’ll go with you”
When they arrived at the ward, Ethan was so weak but he still wanted to speak. Natalie knew what he was concerned about
foremost when he regained consciousness, so she said in advance, “Don’t worry. Jasper is fine. He’s not injured at all. I’ve
already settled him down. Lena is also recuperating. You should also rest properly here and recuperate. As for my older cousin. I
will explain to him. You probably won’t be punished. I must thank you.”
Natalie explained everything that Ethan wanted to know in one breath.
Ethan had just regained consciousness and his face was drained of color. He would probably be chased out of the Turner family
for failing in his mission this time. He had been careless. “Thank you, Miss Natalie.”
When she saw that he spoke very weakly, Natalie said, “Don’t talk anymore. Conserve your strength and recuperate properly. I’m
very safe. These two fellows will stay behind to take care of you. You don’t have to worry about me and Jasper. Your priority now
is to recover.” Natalie was prepared to do something big. She couldn’t let her older cousin find out.
Ethan nodded. This young lady had always been as easy to get along with as Miss Ava Turner. She did not have the airs of a
rich, pampered young lady.
There was still some time before they returned to the office, Sherri was a little worried about her best friend’s safety. “Natalie,
why don’t I add a few more bodyguards for you? I keep feeling it’s unsafe. We haven’t found the mastermind yet.” “It won’t be so

fast. If they dare to do such a thing in broad daylight, it means that they’ve long concealed everything that can be found by
others. It’s definitely not that easy to dig out clues and the mastermind. It’ll take some time. How can we send them to the
slammer without sufficient evidence?”
Now that things were moving in a positive direction, Natalie felt much better. However, Jenny’s matter was an emotional knot in
her heart. So after this, she would wait for the snake to show itself?
Suddenly, Natalie thought of something. “By the way, what was the matter that you wanted to tell me in person the last
time?”
“Hmm? What matter?” After thinking for a moment, the realization hit Sherri. “Oh, right. Initially, I wanted to tell you that I’ll try it
out with... Hackett Blackwell.” The last two words were discernibly very soft. Sherri did not sound very confident and mumbled
somewhat incoherently.
Natalie didn’t quite hear her. “Try what?”
In the end, after putting two and two together, Natalie looked at Sherri in surprise. “You two are together?”
Sherri lowered her head and nodded. She was too ashamed to look her best friend in the eye. Even without thinking, she knew
that her best friend must be very surprised now. She just did not know if her best friend might despise her and look down on her
spinelessness.
After all, she did swear imperiously that she would never take a fancy to this scumbag back then. Wasn’t she slapping herself in
the face by saying that she wanted to try it out with him now?
The room fell silent for a moment before Natalie’s voice rang out. “It’s a pretty good idea.”
Sherri raised her head abruptly as if she had heard something incredible. “Aren’t you going to scold me for being useless?”
Natalie leaned against the back of the chair. She appeared to have understood something. She stared at the ceiling and saw
nothing but a swathe of white. “In the past. I used to think that I was a superbeing and that it was enough as long as my son had
me. But one day, when my son was playing with Trevon Wilson, I realized that I couldn’t take the place of my child’s father. Over
the past few days, after Jenny left. Ive thought about it a lot. Life is unpredictable. I don’t know what’s waiting for me tomorrow,
so I should seize every day to be happy now. At least, I can reduce my regrets. If Hackett Blackwell truly loves you and treats

you sincerely, it’s not impossible to give him a try. What if the outcome is good? It’s better than you looking for someone else to
be Ruby’s father”
Who knew what would happen in the future? It was enough to seize the present! It was important for her to cherish all the people
nearby who loved her It was important to live.
By the time Natalie finished talking. Sherri’s face was already filled with shock. Was this still the best friend who said that men
were farty? Do you mean what you’ve just said?”
“Do I look like I’m joking? I’m serious. You and I are the same. Since you can’t decide the future and can’t control accidents, let
nature take its course. Isn’t it good to be happy?”
you
Sherri felt that the incident this time had a huge impact on her best friend’s mindset. She asked tentatively. “What about and
Trevon Wilson? What are you thinking? I can tell that he really cares about you and has changed a lot.”
Natalie was silent for a few seconds. I want to wait until we catch the mastermind before discussing further.”
“That’s fine too. There’s no hurry anyway If he can’t even want for such a short while, we’ll blacklist him again.” After saying that,
Sherri rested her chin on her hands. She appeared to be at a loss, and her face was frowning. She then sighed heavily and
sand. “Natalie. I think I have a good impression of Hackett Blackwell, but I realized that he doesn’t seem to like me that much.
What if I like him during the trial period and he doesn’t like me
This was the first time Natalie saw Sherri worrying about personal gains and losses. All along, Sherri had been relatively
confident. It seemed that she might have really fallen for that guy “Where’s your confulence? Where did it go? Aren’t you the type
who is loved by everyone and blooms like a flower in front of people? How come you turn into a wilting blossom the moment you
meet Hackett Blackwell?”
Sherri shook her head “Sigh! The point is that he also said that he himself is the type who is loved by everyone and blooms like a
flower in front of people.”
After so much wrangling, it turned out that both of them were narcissists. “Then let’s see which flower blooms more radiantly.
However, you might not be able to compare to Hackett Blackwell if he were to really strut his stuff like a peacock spreading its
tail.*

Sherri was utterly speechless. This chat led to nothing in the end. It would have been fine if they didn’t chat, but after chatting
with Natalie, Sherri felt even more suffocated. Sure enough, she could not depend on Natalie for love advice.
