Previously on #HAMERTON; Trevor begins to let Natalie know about his history with Ingrid. Nicky frowns at Steven for being unable to control their replacement for President.

“Wait…”
Natalie interrupted Trevor at a point before he concluded. They had already
shifted to the living room and she sat next to him, snuggling her head on his
chest as he put his arm around her back, telling his story. “You were the one
who started using those stuff.”
“Yes.”
Trevor agreed.
“I, I
thought that your evil brother… well, Kenneth put you into them.”
“Ingrid
thinks so too.” He sighed. “Kenneth did me harm but, I also had my own flaws. When
it reached to the brim, I put the blame of my every misfortune on Kenneth.”
She drew
her head back to face him. “Why did you start doing drugs?”
“Peer
pressure.”
“At
school, right?”
He nodded.
“Then
your last kidney started failing.” She reckoned.
“Yeah,
those were pretty hard stuff.”
“And
who gave you the transplant if all your relatives were too older than you?”
“Well,
that’s how Nicky came to my life… as a donor.”
She furrowed
her eyebrows. “Nicky? You knew her since then?”
“Their
family became close to ours, to grant me the donation. I got a transplant and I
don’t know how she was poisoned that she got back at me by revealing the place
where I kept my mom.”
“Oh.”
“I hated
her for that, she hated me back. My brother and father told me that she has
always been up to no good.” He sighed. “I don’t know if I should believe them,
they have always been a cause of my misery.”
Natalie
took some time in silence and posed. “But, Kenneth seems like a nice person.”
“He’s
saying that he’s changing.”
She laid
back on his chest. “How did you start getting sick?”
“Some
months before I joined Hamerton to be away from my brother and father. In a
rehabilitation clinic. The doctor said that it’s a rare disorder caused by the
drugs I was using. But, if I abstained from them and take a special diet with
some exercise, I’ll be just fine.”
She drew
back again. “That day that you got stuck in the elevator, looking for Ingrid,
she was gone. She was out of campus. She wasn't going to come back but, we couldn't let you find out.”
“So,
you kept me in the elevator until you guys figured out a way to clear you of
your charges, demote Nicky and get Ingrid back to Hamerton.” he concluded for
her.
“Yeah…
wait, how did you find out?”
“I
heard you and Ingrid talking in my ward room that Monday morning. You were all
happy that she was back and that she got her green card back. I realized that
she had gone but, I was also happy that I never felt her absence. I was in a
coma.”
“Steven
mentioned that, Ingrid proposed that we should retain you in extreme conditions
so that you could get into coma for the following days until we got her back.”
His eyebrows
raised in obvious shock. “He said that?”
She nodded
strongly.
“It’s
not right. Ingrid knows that there are big chances of me dying if I went
unconscious for more than twenty four hours.”
“So,
you think that Steven lied? He wanted to kill you?”
“And he
must have acted on his own, Nicky had no plans to get stuck with me in that
elevator.” He said, giving her answers.
“This
is bad… he’s been a snake all this while.” She paused. “But, you went into coma
for more than 24 hours, you still remained alive.” She reckoned.
He opened
his mouth to say something but, as the explanation came to mind, he shut his mouth
again.
“Can I
guess?” she asked.
He gulped,
he did not want her to. He knew that it would hurt her feelings if she knew
that Ingrid’s voice woke him from coma while Natalie herself had been laying on
his side throughout the time that he was unconscious.
what happened next? stay tuned to find out...
