Chapter 797
Chapter 797:
Her hearing was sharp—too sharp for something like this to be a mistake.
A few steps away, hidden from her view, Natalia stood beside a wheelchair, pushing Brian forward.
“Brian, when did you become such a coward?” she huffed, shooting him an exasperated look. “You saw Rachel. Why didn’t you let me call out to her? If she knew you were sick, maybe she’d worry about you. Maybe then you wouldn’t look so miserable all the time.”
Brian’s lips pressed into a thin line. “She goes out of her way to avoid me now. If she saw me here, she’d leave without a second thought.”
Natalia let out a deep sigh and crouched beside him. “What can I say? When she was with you, you took her for granted. Now that she’s gone, you look completely miserable.”
She shook her head with a wry chuckle. “Honestly, I’m glad I moved on in time. If I’d stuck around any longer, I probably would’ve been tormented to death too.” Her tone softened as she added, “Even though I’ve moved on and don’t love you anymore, there was a time when I admired you. Seeing you like this… It’s hard to just stand by and do nothing. Maybe I should help you out.”
A flicker of hope stirred in Brian’s dull eyes. Unlike him, Natalia still had a way to reach Rachel—if she spoke up on his behalf, Rachel might actually listen.
But just as he braced for her next words, Natalia let out another sigh, lowering her gaze. “Ah, never mind. I can’t do it.” She straightened, her expression firm. “You’re like a brother to me, but Rachel’s like a sister. I can’t lie to her for you.”

She gripped the wheelchair handles and continued pushing him forward. “Still, I’ll say this much—Rachel may be distant now, but as long as she hasn’t found someone new, you’re not completely out of the game.” But then…
Natalia looked up. Just ahead, Rachel was pushing Allan’s wheelchair, walking beside him as golden sunlight streamed through the trees.
Natalia instantly fell silent.
Brian clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. Sensing the shift in his mood, Natalia tried to console him. “Hey, don’t be too upset. Maybe he’s not as handsome or rich as you—”
At that moment, Rachel turned Allan’s wheelchair, allowing Natalia a clear view of his face.noveldrama
She blinked. “Brian…” she murmured, almost in awe. “He’s really good-looking. He might actually be just as attractive as you.”
Natalia crossed her arms, tilting her head in amusement. “And from what I can tell, he’s exactly Rachel’s type.”
Brian shot her a sharp glare. “If you don’t have anything helpful to say, just keep quiet.”
Natalia instantly pressed a hand over her mouth, nodding as if she’d comply. But barely ten seconds later, she lowered her hand and chirped, “Brian, hang in there. Maybe I should go test the waters with her later.”
