Chapter 161 The Graham family is on the decline


“Mrs. Graham, how are you? Are you feeling better?” Natalie asked when she saw that Linda’s breathing had stabilized.


Her eyes were filled with worry and anticipation.


Though Linda’s breathing had stabilized, her symptoms had not eased thoroughly. The turn was superficial.


After all, this situation was not unprecedented in the Graham family before.


Of course, the Graham family asked for more. They wanted Linda’s condition to be improved internally, with no possibility of endangering her health.


Linda took a deep breath and felt that the uncomfortable force in her throat had been completely


relieved. “I feel much better now,” she said.


“Thank you, Nana.”


Linda looked sincere.


Natalie pursed her lips and stood up while speaking, “It’s okay.”


“Mrs. Graham, you should pay more attention to your health and never be so emotional, otherwise


there is still a possibility of getting sick.”


Natalie’s tone and expression were serious.


Linda nodded repeatedly, “Okay, I see, Nana.”


Seeing that Linda was better, Natalie felt a little relieved.


A very cold voice suddenly came from behind, “You have already done such a thing to the Graham


family. Do you think she can stay calm?”


Natalie frowned.


She turned back and looked at the speaker, “Julian, I helped Mrs. Graham. I’ve been working hard to help her out of danger. You are ungrateful. You are even sarcastic about me.”


The man ignored her words.


He kept questioning, “Why did she get sick?” Julian’s voice was so calm that Natalie was lost for words.


The man’s questioning hovered in her mind.


Natalie said nothing.


Julian had a sour face and looked straight at her. A pair of eyes were sharp as if they could tear open her and see her true thoughts.


Natalie was silent for a long time. Julian continued, “It’s all thanks to you.”


Since she was unwilling to admit it, he would speak for her.


Natalie’s face instantly turned a bit pale at his words.


Julian clearly saw the change in Natalie’s expression, but he remained expressionless and said,


“Why are you lying?”


He kept questioning.


Natalie pursed her lips.


She did lie.


Why did she lie at that time? Natalie was no longer known.


“I’m asking you a question, why are you lying?” Julian continued.


Natalie still didn’t speak.


“Julian, how could you speak to Nana like that?” Linda suddenly stood up and interrupted him.


“Nana just saved my life, how could you treat her like this?”


Julian was cold and stern. “Then how could she treat the Graham family like that?”


“That’s the hard work of generations of the Graham family…”


Julian couldn’t say more. He felt sick.


Natalie raised her eyes, and after some struggle in her heart, she said, “I did lie. I apologize to the Graham family.”


“Nana, there’s no need to apologize.” Linda waved her hand repeatedly after hearing this.


“You just need to let the Graham family go…”


Before she could finish her later words, Natalie continued, “But even if I admit that I gave you authorization, Hazel International Hospital won’t help the Graham family.”


the


Linda’s words got stuck in her throat. She just thought Natalie would let go of the Graham family and make the dean of Hazel International Hospital willing to cooperate with the Graham family.


“Nana…”


Julian frowned at the words and said, “What do you mean by that?”


“What do I mean, Mr. Graham? Aren’t you clear?”


The two of them looked at each other, and Julian clearly felt provoked.


“I’m not sure.”


Julian replied word for word.


He spoke calmly and politely, he tried his best to control his temper. But the sullen and sarcastic.


tone still couldn’t be concealed.


Natalie ignored his sarcasm.


She remained expressionless and said, “Since Mr. Graham chose to play the fool, I’ll just speak up.”


“What kind of person is the dean of Hazel International Hospital? I think the Graham family knows


better than me. I’ve only been with him for a while and I’ve almost known what kind of person he is.


With your observation ability, you should have known him much better than me.”


Natalie’s voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear clearly, “He is a businessman


who only seeks profit.”


“The Graham family no longer can’t bring any benefits to Hazel International Hospital. Why would he help the Graham family?”


“For the sake of you?”


Natalie said while looking at Julian.


The meaning behind the words was self-evident.


At this moment, Júlian was on the decline. The Graham family could not get its prosperity back


anymore.


Upon hearing this, Julian couldn’t help clenching his teeth and his face was unusually sullen.


Her words were so harsh!


Emotionally, he almost wanted to come forward and hold Natalie. But after saying this, Natalie turned around directly, leaving him behind.


Hugh quickly followed her, looking back at Julian as he walked, to prevent Julian from attacking Natalie because of anger.


The black Maybach drove away from the white building.


Natalie sat in the back row. Although she escaped from the suffocating environment just now, her face remained pale. She was clearly in a low mood.


Her heart was in a chaotic state.


Hugh was driving in front of him, and he clearly felt the pressure inside the car.


He looked at Natalie’s expression in the rearview mirror and said, “Do you really want to do this?”


Natalie raised her eyes at the sound.


After seconds, she withdrew her gaze and looked at the scenery outside the car, “Even you think it’s inappropriate?”


“You think I made a mistake, don’t you?”


Natalie looked out the window and realized that the weather had unknowingly turned cloudy, with the hazy sun hidden in the gray clouds and mist.


Just like her mood.


The scenery outside the window was monotonous and boring. Natalie’s mood was worse.


“I think you did the right thing.”


Hugh’s voice sounded.


“You do?” Natalie’s tone was full of incredulity.


“If you gave this authorization to the Graham family, it can indicate that Julian is not lying.”


“But beyond that, nothing else will happen. Hazel International Hospital will not cooperate with the Graham family.”


“So, even if you admit that you gave this authorization to the Graham family… nothing will change.”


“Don’t blame yourself anymore.”


Hugh comforted her.


This was the first time Natalie heard him speak so much at once. She listened attentively and


slowly said, “Thank you, Hugh.”


Actually, what Hugh said was clear to her.


She was just not ready to give up on the Graham family… Although she had braced herself for it before, she found it uneasy to do that
