Chapter 1041 Separated For The Time Being
Hearing that, Natalie suddenly deflated like a balloon as her gaze dimmed. “Then, what should I do?” she asked uncertainly. Samuel told her, “Stay here. Master, Luna, and I will go to Mount Draghide to ask Mr. Jorden Yablon to get rid of the poison.”
They were about to separate, and Samuel wasn’t faring any better than Natalie. However, he was better at putting up a calm front, as he was a man. “But I…” Natalie trailed off and bit her lip.
She knew why he had to leave, but her heart refused to accept it. She was worried the poison might spread all over Samuel’s body, but she was also afraid it would remain in his body and shorten their time together.
Samuel stared at her intently and instantly understood her dilemma. He told her firmly, “No buts. I’m important in your life, but I’m not everything in your life. Besides Dream, you need to take on both parents’ roles and care for the children. If you’re not around, unwanted accidents may happen. It will be too late for you to travel here from the mountain. If something irrevocable happens, you’ll regret your decision for the rest of your life.”
Natalie’s eyes turned red. She felt such a visceral pang of dismay that tears welled up in her eyes. Anguish threatened to overwhelm her heart.
Her heart felt empty as she was torn between following her emotions or rationality. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around Samuel.
Samuel would usually be the one to initiate a hug. His hugs were so tight, as though he wanted to merge into one with her. However, it was Natalie who hugged him first today. She didn’t want to let him go.
“Silly girl.” Samuel sighed helplessly. He knew Natalie was reluctant to see him leave. In fact, he couldn’t bear to leave her, too.
However, after what they had been through, Samuel didn’t want to make her stay with him selfishly. Instead of being a canary in a cage, she should be an eagle soaring in the sky.
He had to set her free.
“Nat, I understand if you’re worried about me. But don’t you trust Master?” Samuel held her at an arm’s distance and gazed at her adoringly. “We’re going to be separated for the time being so I can ask Mr. Yablon to get rid of my poison. Once the poison is completely gone from my body, I’ll return to you at once.”
When he held her jaw and lifted her face, he belatedly realized she was sobbing so hard that her eyes had gone red. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.
