Chapter 292 Thank You for Never Giving Up
In just a few days, the online chatter blew up, with clicks and comments spreading like wildfire.
Natalie was almost fully recovered and getting ready to leave the hospital. Even with all the disguises and security, she got recognized the second she stepped outside.
A swarm of reporters and their microphones rushed at her.
"Ms. Clark, is everything you went through true?"
"Ms. Clark, do you have anything to say after surviving such an ordeal?"
"Do you think the plane crash was an accident?"
"Is your relationship with Felix progressing further?"
Reporters completely blocked the entrance, their flashbulbs going off like crazy.
Bodyguards formed a protective circle around Natalie and Yves, keeping them safe in the middle.
The crowd surged forward. Yves, a bit impatient but used to the spotlight, knew these reporters wouldn't back down easily.
He held Natalie close and walked quickly towards the waiting Lincoln.
As they walked, Natalie suddenly stopped. She paused, then lifted her head, her bright and stunning eyes now clouded with sorrow.
It was confusing.
Everyone quieted down, waiting for her to speak.
Natalie's voice was a bit hoarse, but every word was clear. "I'm glad everyone is concerned about my safety, but please, stop focusing on me. There were over thirty people on that plane who weren't as lucky as I was. Their families will be devastated by these reports."
With that, she solemnly bowed.
The surrounding noise gradually faded, and the once heated atmosphere turned cold and silent.
She didn't say another word. Yves half-embraced her as they got into the car and left.
Her return wasn't just a headline and a hot topic for netizens; it was also a source of pain for some.
After all, out of everyone on the plane, only Natalie survived.
Soon, Natalie's brief response won everyone's favor.
Even Felix's studio pulled down their latest work.
[Details reveal character. A goddess is truly a goddess. Even at a time like this, she thinks of others. Her magnanimity is unmatched!]
[A girl as beautiful and kind-hearted as her, I wish I could marry her.]
[I'm one of the family members of those on the plane. We believe that, like Ms. Clark, they are just adventuring somewhere and will return one day. We hope Ms. Clark lives well; you are our hope.] This comment received the highest likes.
Natalie got a new phone and saw that the highest-rated comment was from one of the family members of those on the plane.
She immediately replied, [Whether separated by time or space, there will always be a day of return. Thank you for never giving up.]
Maybe Natalie's words had an effect, or maybe someone instructed the platform to lower the heat. The matter gradually subsided, and no reporters were besieging the Clark Group anymore.
Natalie enjoyed a period of calm and her life returned to normal. She didn't rush back to work, maybe because the aftermath of surviving on the deserted island was too overwhelming. She truly enjoyed the days of eating, drinking, and having fun.
Ulysses was happy to see this and took her fishing, shopping, buying yachts, and even watched live shopping streams with her. He helped her host various parties, never blinking an eye when spending money.
Life was unhurried and truly wonderful.
Until one day, Natalie got a call from an unknown number. She thought it was a friend who had changed their number and answered excitedly, "Hello, state your name."
The other side was silent for a second.
"Gabriel." He replied, his voice familiar, deep, and magnetic.
The call ended.
Gabriel looked at the now black screen of his phone, his expression darkening.
He had been busy abroad, enduring the pain of missing her, worrying about her physical and mental health.
But now, he felt he had no right to worry about her.
He watched Felix's unedited video over and over again. Each time, it made his chest feel tight.
While people online praised her bravery, strength, and luck, he alone felt her pain and fear.
As soon as he got off the plane, he couldn't resist using a staff member's phone to call her.
But the call was cut off.
