The nurse showed Natalie the way to Jasmine’s ward once Natalie reached the mental hospital.
It was a special ward with nothing else but an inflatable bed inside.
There wasn’t any window in the ward. Only a few air vents were available for ventilation. Those were the settings in place to stop Jasmine from attempting another suicide.
Natalie stood at the entrance of the wards instead of making her way into the ward.
When Jasmine heard the commotion, she brought herself up. Her expression changed as soon as she saw Natalie. Gritting her teeth, she yelled, “It’s you!”
“Yes, it’s me!” Natalie greeted Jasmine with a satisfied beam.
Jasmine clenched her fists with all her might and yelled, “Are you here to make fun of me again?”
“Is that necessary when I can just join the netizens on the internet?” Natalie remarked sarcastically.
Jasmine was rendered speechless by Natalie’s reply. A few seconds later, she asked at the top of her lungs, “If that’s the case, why are you here?”
“I’m here to tell you Harrison and Susan have figured out you’re still alive. They’re thrilled by the seemingly great news.”
“What about it? It’s not as if they’re able to get me out of this sickening place!”
“Unfortunately, they can’t!” Natalie leaned against the door frame. Jasmine was intimidated by the presence of the two buff-looking bodyguards behind Natalie.
“I’m here to tell you the great news and ask you the reason why you kept them in the dark all this while.”
Sneering, Jasmine announced, “Those fools can’t be of much help! If I don’t keep them in the dark, it’s only a matter of time until they let the cat out of the bag!”
“Well, I guess you’re right! Speaking of which, why are you holding a grudge against Susan?”
Natalie could vividly recall the time Susan showed up to make a fuss out of something trivial when she was a staff of Thompson Group.
She caught a glimpse of Jasmine glaring at Susan, but she couldn’t figure out the things going on between the mother and daughter duo.
“Why? Aren’t you going to harbor a grudge against your mother if she’s the one behind your misery?” Glaring at Natalie in the eyes, she yelled, “You have an awesome childhood because you’re the legitimate child of the family! However, I’m a child born out of wedlock! I hate every single one of you!”
She was conscious she was a child born out of wedlock ever since she was young. In other words, she had long figured out she was destined to be despised by others.
Others had always picked on her because of the same reason. She had a pathetic childhood as no one wished to befriend her because of her identity. Thus, she blamed Susan for her misery.
Although she was aware Harrison was her father since he would show up and visit her every once in a while, she wasn’t allowed to address him as her father.
Harrison was a public figure—Yulia would get half of his personal assets if others were to figure out the sort of affair he had. She was merely allowed to address him as her father the day she was acknowledged a member of the Smith family years later.
In short, the miserable life she had in her early years was the reason behind the grudge she held against those around her.
“I see!” Natalie responded with a smile when she found out everything that had been going on behind the scenes.
Nonetheless, she had no sympathy for Jasmine at all. At the end of the day, Jasmine was also one of the many reasons behind her family’s broken relationship.
“Alright, it’s getting late! It’s time for me to leave! Have fun and enjoy your time here!” Natalie surveyed the surroundings for one last time and remarked, “You need to make sure you’re not going to lose your mind for real! Otherwise, you won’t be able to get back at Jacqueline for the things she has done!”
“Jacqueline Graham!” Jasmine’s face scrunched up in irritation when she heard the name Natalie brought up.
“Yes! Jacqueline! I’m glad she has told me you’re Jasmine! Speaking of which, are you aware of the reason she has told me the truth?”
“Why?” Jasmine asked without keeping her emotions to herself anymore.
“Jacqueline was taken into custody by Shane after her failed attempt of trying something silly against him! Maybe she just wants someone to keep her company on her way to hell since it’s over for her! I guess you’re the one she has in mind!”
