Steven said nonchalantly, “As usual, giving people the cold shoulder…”
Although Kenneth remained silent, his dissatisfaction toward Natalie grew stronger.
Even though Samuel did not marry Yara, Kenneth had long considered her his granddaughter-in-law.
Yet, his great-grandchildren grew closer to an outsider instead of their biological mother.
In fact, they were so close to Natalie that they got mad at him and even went on a hunger strike after he criticized Natalie.
It seemed like he had to make a trip to meet her in person.
Meanwhile, Natalie woke up in a daze in the hospital.
“Thirsty… Water…” She propped her body up, barely opening her eyes as she felt for a cup on the bedside table.
After feeling around for a while, she did not find what she was looking for. Instead, she felt a bottle against her lips and a hand supporting the back of her head.
She instinctively parted her lips and held onto the bottle with both hands, gulping the water down.
She looked just like an adorable baby drinking milk.
Samuel smiled as he quietly watched her drink.
After Natalie emptied the bottle of water, she passed it to the man beside her with a satisfied smile.
Just then, she realized that something was amiss. She was still in the hospital, and Xavian was not with her.
Her eyes shot open, and she finally noticed that the person who had fed her water was Samuel.
Natalie furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be at work at this hour?”
“I took the day off.” Since Samuel did not have tissue with him, he used his finger to wipe the stray droplets of water from her lips. “I will be staying with you in the hospital for the next few days as well.”
“Huh?” Natalie widened her eyes, unable to believe her ears.
