Chapter 852 Just Leave It To Me
Shortly after those words had left his mouth, Luna bit down on her lip so hard that it began to bleed.
Although Samuel had refrained from mentioning Natalie’s name, Luna knew full well that he was referring to her.
Samuel’s words could be perceived as both a warning as well as a threat to Luna.
He had practically threatened to harm her entire family if she let that secret slip.
Luna clenched her fists tightly as she replied, “You worry too much. I would keep your condition a secret even without you threatening me, and I will keep trying to treat you until the very end.”
Samuel nodded, and his voice went back to normal again as he said, “Okay. Putting that aside, there is one more thing I need your help with.”
“Go ahead, Mr. Samuel.”
“I need you to help me put on a show.”
Luna went wide-eyed with shock and disbelief after hearing Samuel’s plans. “Are you sure you absolutely have to do this? You’d break her heart and leave her devastated! Come on, try to be more positive about this! There might be another way to cure your of your poisoning!”
Samuel broke into a wry smile as he asked, “And what if there isn’t?”
“I…”
While Luna struggled to find the right words, Samuel continued, “Do you really want me to watch her live her life in guilt and self-blame for what happened to me? She got covered in wounds and nearly lost her life trying to get me an antidote before. If this is going to happen again, I’d rather let myself die in secret instead.”
“What if Ms. Nichols wants to bear this burden with you?” Luna asked.
Samuel’s eyes teared up as he replied, “She may want to, but I don’t. I don’t want her risking her life looking for an antidote, nor do I want her keeping me company as I wither away and die.”
