Tobias' face stiffened.
"When will the meeting start?" Tobias asked.
"In an hour or so," Benjamin replied.
"I'm going to the hospital now. I'll come back for the meeting later," Tobias said to Benjamin after a short pause.
Natalie was asleep when Tobias arrived at the hospital.
That morning, Aunt Lee discovered that Natalie fainted beside her bed and sent her to the hospital. The doctor mentioned that Natalie had a cold and she was overwhelmed by fatigue. Fortunately, it was not a big deal.
Tobias stared at Natalie's pale face as she curled up on the hospital bed. He recalled that he had sprayed her face with cold water to wash away her messy makeup the previous night. She had probably contracted a cold from that.
Guilt rose in Tobias' heart. He knew that he went too far.
When he first approached Natalie, they had agreed that they were just pretending to be married. He should not intervene with whatever Natalie did.
He could disagree with her but he should not lash out at her or even force himself on her.
Tobias was always good at controlling his emotions. He never gets emotional over anything. Even he could not understand why he was so furious and lost control the previous night.
At the same time, a nurse came in to give Natalie her IV drip. The nurse could not help but blush when she spotted Tobias standing beside the bed.
This man was so handsome!
Natalie's body was curled up and she wrapped her arms around herself. This made it difficult for the nurse to carry out her job.
Normally, the nurse would pull the patient's hand forcefully. However, the young nurse wanted to maintain her image as a gentle lady in front of Tobias.
"Sir, isn't it hard for me to inject this young lady if she's like this?" the nurse asked Tobias.
Her voice was particularly sweet and gentle.
Tobias walked over and pulled Natalie's hand gently.
