Chapter 1211
Lucien was startled for a brief moment.
Clenching her fists, Frieda shook her head as she heaved a sigh. He can't even care about his leg injury, yet he's thinking about Natalie?
"Dr. Dalton, why aren't you responding?"
"Prince Jonathan, let me check on your leg wound before I tell you more.”
Lucien checked the wound on Bastien's thigh and reapplied medicine before changing his dressing. Throughout all, Bastien was not at all concerned about his injury. Instead, he was anxious for Lucien to quickly finish examining his injury and tell him about Natalie's condition.
After examining the leg wound, Bastien eagerly probed, "Dr. Dalton, now that you're done with the examination, c-can you tell me... how is Natalie?"
"Ms. Nichols is fine, but the injury on her shoulder is recovering rather slowly because of her malnutrition and overexertion. She needs to get more rest and increase her nutrient intake from now on to get fully recovered. It's just that..." Lucien paused slightly before continuing, "She was taken away from Luna Palace by her husband yesterday evening. It seems like her husband is skilled in medicine and could take good care of her too. There's no need to worry too much, Prince Jonathan..."
With that said, Lucien got up and left after offering a bow.
On the bed, Bastien froze in place as an overwhelming swirl of emotions flooded his mind.
He was undoubtedly relieved to learn that Natalie was safe and sound. Yet, on the other hand, he could not bring himself to stay unbothered about the fact that Samuel had taken Natalie with him away from Luna Palace.
The woman he vowed to protect for his entire life had become his younger sister from another mother. It was beyond his imagination that such an absurd situation that frequently occurred in dramas and novels would actually happen to him.
"Bastien, listen. You should stop thinking about Natalie..." Frieda sounded concerned. "You two aren't fated to be together. No matter how deeply in love you are, there's no way—"
However, Bastien agitatedly argued, "Mother, this is Geert's scheme. He's trying to deceive us! There's no way Natalie is my sister!”
"Why are you still in denial, Bastien?"
