Chapter 957 Sleep Talking
Sensing Natalie’s hand wrapped tightly around his, Samuel stayed still and allowed her to do as she pleased.
Natalie, who was experiencing a high-grade fever, attempted to place Samuel’s hand next to her cheek.
Samuel did not anticipate Natalie to tug on him so forcefully. The momentum caused him to fall in her direction. He would have flattened her with half his bodyweight if he had not been supporting himself with his other arm.
Just as he was about to pull away, he heard Natalie mumbling.
“Why… leave me? Why… abandon me… Why… Why?”
Samuel had to lean his ear close to her lips for some time before he could make out what she was saying as she was stammering.
He stood up with mixed emotions churning within him after listening to her sleep-talking.
As Natalie was grasping one of his hands, he could not help but caress her cheeks with his other hand.
He did not abandon her.
If he had a choice, he would never be willing to leave her behind.
However, how upset would she be if he told her the poison inside his body, which was initially subdued, relapsed because he saved her?
As a result, he had no choice but to make the decision that would hurt her less after weighing the risks and benefits.
Samuel’s charming eyes gleamed as he said, “I did not abandon you. I will always stay by your side for the rest of my life…”
And just like that, he did not go anywhere and accompanied Natalie inside the ward until her fever completely subsided.
When her high temperature receded, she gradually regained her senses and groggily opened her eyes.
A cold and expressionless silver mask came into focus.
She was not at all surprised. After all, she could only successfully provide the treatment to Yvette because of him.
