Chapter 530
Everyone returned to the pack house.
Natalia was lying in bed. The private doctor was checking on her.
"You are lucky the baby is fine," she said.
"Thank you, doctor. Please check on Hazel too," Natalia said to her.
The doctor gave her a nod and then left the room.
Natalia looked at the people who entered the room after the doctor left.
Martin Hansley and Jade Hansley hugged their daughter. Meanwhile, Lucas Miller and Grace Miller lowered their heads.
Natalia smiled at them, saying, "Mom, Dad."
They looked at her with apologies.
"Forgive us, dear," Lucas said as he approached the bed.
Grace hugged Natalia and said sorry to her for everything they had done in the past few days.
"It was not your fault. You all were influenced. I should be sorry for losing my temper and saying those rubbish things,"
They shook their heads and said they would never have a daughter-in-law like her. She was more like a daughter to them.
"How is everyone?"
"Doctor Max treated them. Benjamin was in critical condition. But Doctor Max cured him too."
"That's a relief."
After a while, Natalia asked them, "Where is Adrian?"
"In the twin's room," Grace replied.
Natalia left her bedroom and walked toward the twin's room.
She stood at the door, which was slightly opened. She could see everything inside.
Adrian was inside with the twins.
Noah and Aria hugged his neck as he sat on the bed beside them.
"I am sorry. I could not keep your promises. Once again, I failed."

They shook their heads while hugging him tightly. "Mommy will understand you, Dad," Noah said like a mature kid.
"I knew Dad was ill. That is why he was so distant from us. Dad is back," Aria said with a cheery voice and kissed his cheek.
Adrian kissed both of the children's heads.
When Natalia saw Adrian get out of bed, she left.
He walked out of the twin's room and toward the gallery.
Natalia followed him from a distance. He leaned over the railing and looked out the window.
After lighting a cigarette, he leaned against a wall and began to smoke.
When he turned his head and noticed her approaching, he threw the cigarette. It was as if he had learned that
smoking in front of a pregnant woman was harmful to both her and the child's health.
Natalia saw him lowering his head. She came to a halt in front of him.
He was trying to avoid her gaze.
Natalia sighed and lifted her hand. She placed her hand on his chest, above his shirt. His muscles tensed at her touch.
She noticed his handsome face with no wound on his forehead.
"How are the wounds on your back?" she inquired softly.
"Left," he murmured.
"How?"
"It wasn't that powerful. It was only remaining on my skin due to the spell."
"Oh,"
She fell silent. He, too, remained silent.
When she noticed he was not breaking the silence, she slowly wrapped her hands around him and hugged him. "Natalia, I don't deserve you."
She raised her head to look at him. "What?"
He looked at her and lifted his hand. He caressed her cheek with his knuckles and murmured,
"I failed to keep you happy. You have always been there for me and have saved my life when I was about to die. But I-"
"Ssshhh."
She pressed her finger against his lips and said,
"It was not your fault. You did nothing intentionally. By the way, you saved me tonight, so we are even."
He shook his head, averting his gaze away from her. "I tried to keep my calm. But I had no idea when I lost myself and hurt you."
Natalia cupped his checks and made him turn to face her. He looked at her eyes; slowly, his gaze shifted to her lips. She smiled and kissed him first.
He immediately wrapped his hand around her, turned them around, and pressed her against the wall.
He kissed her with all the heartache he was experiencing.
When he broke the kiss, he whispered to her:
"If I give you pain again, don't think about anything twice and kill me, okay?"
She chuckled as she nodded her head. "Okay, my Alpha. But I know how much you love me. You will never hurt me intentionally."
She then hugged him tightly with a smile on her face.
