A Cue for Love novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Hunger Strike

Natalie was surprised and worried at the same time. “Gavin, how long has it been since they went on the hunger strike?”

“They started yesterday afternoon and didn’t have dinner. It’s almost been a whole day now. They haven’t had a bite to eat. They didn’t even drink much water…” Gavin’s voice was filled with worry.

How could they go a whole day without eating?

Natalie furrowed her brows and asked, “How about Samuel? How did he react to his children refusing to eat?”

“Mr. Samuel is aware, but he…”

“What is it?”

Gavin said helplessly, “He said they have a standing appointment to see you once a month, so they have to follow that agreement. Since he doesn’t want to spoil the children, he’s letting them go on hunger strike. He thinks that they will eat when they get too hungry. If they faint from hunger, he will get a doctor to give them some nutritional shots.”

Natalie was dumbfounded. All she could think of was how cold-blooded Samuel was.

Franklin and Sophia are still so young. How could they go a whole day without eating? He even plans to give them shots only after they’ve fainted? I have no words. How can a father like him exist in this world?

“Gavin, I’m coming over now.”

After hanging up the phone, Natalie turned around and looked at Yandel and Ross.

“Something came up. I have to go. Yandel, Ross just joined Dream Company. Give him the support he needs to begin his research.”

Without waiting for Yandel’s reply, Natalie rushed off and left the office building. She hailed a taxi and headed straight toward the Bowers residence.

After arriving, Natalie paid for the fare and got out of the car. She had barely got to the ornamental gate when she saw Gavin pacing back and forth with an anxious expression.

When he saw that Natalie was finally there, his face lit up.

“Ms. Nichols, I’m so glad you’re here. I was afraid that you wouldn’t come after a phone call from a butler like me…”

“Don’t worry about it. Bring me to the children and ask the kitchen to prepare some oatmeal porridge that is easy to digest.”

“I got it.”
