Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 543

On Thursday.

Sherri Landor wanted to ask Natalie out for a meal at the base again. It was not that the food at the base made her want to go there. After all, she had grown up in a wealthy family. She just liked the feeling of three people and two little guys eating together.

She acted upon her thoughts immediately.

During lunchtime, Sherri sent a message to Natalie, but there was no reply after an hour. It was as if a small stone had been thrown into the lake and there was no reaction at all.

Sherri, who was resting in the consultation room, began to wonder. She muttered to herself, “It shouldn’t be. Natalie should be free at this time. Why isn’t she replying to my message? What happened?”

Sherri had a lot of responsibilities. She had to take responsibility for her brother every day. Other than working hours, she was inseparable from Rose.

Rose Roberts, who was sitting in front of her, petted her belly. This was a habit that she had developed recently. It was as if her belly could grow bigger just by touching it. “Why don’t you call and ask? What if anything bad happened? Wait, no, what am I talking about? It’s definitely nothing. She’s probably a little busy today.”

Sherri was also quite worried. Natalie who had contact with her often had stopped communicating with her now. She started having all kinds of thoughts. She said, “Let me call her.”

As she spoke, she took out her phone and began to make a call. The call went through, but it was hung up. Sherri called a second time, but the call was still cut off.

Sherri looked at the records of hung-up calls one after another in disbelief. Her eyes were widened. “Could Natalie’s phone have been stolen? Why did she keep hanging up on me? If it wasn’t stolen, I suspect that she wants to cut ties with me. This is strange. This is the first time such a situation has happened.”

Sherri fell into deep thought. A series of question marks floated above her head.

Rose shook her head in disapproval. She placed her hands on her stomach and straightened her legs. She tried to make herself more comfortable. “How is that possible? Didn’t you say that your bodyguards were all knocked down by her one by one when they fought before? Any thieves that dared to mess with her definitely had a death wish.”

After listening to Rose’s analysis, Sherri felt that it made sense. If a thief tried to steal Natalie’s phone from her treasure bag, their wrist might have been broken by her. She shrugged her shoulders and indicated that she was very confused.

Half an hour later, Natalie called Sherri back. Tomorrow was Lena’s surgery. She was listening to a few senior doctors discuss tomorrow’s surgery. That was why she hung up on Sherri.

The phone on Sherri’s table vibrated. She grabbed it and swiped the answer button and speaker button. “What are you doing? I was going to call the police if you disappeared for another half an hour.”

Natalie did not plan to bicker with Sherri today. “It’s nothing. I just had something to do. I was discussing a surgery with some doctors. What do you need?”

Sherri was very carefree. Sometimes, she acted faster than her brain could think. She often could not grasp the main point of conversations. However, when it came to serious matters, she would consider it very carefully. For example, when Natalie

hung up on her a couple of times just now, she would start to think about it carefully.
