Terence's smile was radiant. His mood had certainly changed quickly.
Natalie was speechless. How could he be smiling at a time like this?
"Terence, how can you still be smiling? The video is out, and we didn't clear anything up. The Lockwood Group's stock will plummet tomorrow. The board of directors will be all over you..."
Natalie was frantic and worried, dreading the inevitable stock market crash for the Lockwood Group the next day.
But Terence suddenly pulled her into his arms, settling her onto his lap. He held her and said, "Don't worry. Even if the sky falls tomorrow, I'm in a wheelchair. It can't crush me."
Natalie couldn't help but smile. How could he make a joke at a time like this?
"Your smile is beautiful."
Terence held Natalie, watching her smile, and felt a sense of peace.
"Terence, how can you joke right now?"
"If I don't joke, how can I see you smile?"
At that moment, Natalie felt a bit helpless against him.
She didn't struggle out of his embrace because right now, she really just needed someone to lean on.
The pain of being betrayed by her own son was worse than being cheated on by a husband.
Terence held Natalie tightly and said, "No matter what happens, I'm here."

The next day, at the hospital.
