My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 537

Natalie gently caressed her warm cheeks. "Yes, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Good." The corner of Tobias's mouth lifted into a smirk.

Natalie stared at the infusion bottle and frowned. "How long will this take, Mr. Whitlock?"

"It won't be too long. But you'll be kept in the ward for observation."

Natalie snapped her head towards him.

She has thought that she could go back after the shot.

"Does that mean I won't be able to leave until tomorrow?"

"It's for the best."

She lowered her gaze and murmured, "That means I can't go to work."

"That's right."

After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and muttered, "I feel a little bad."

Her condition was not that serious anyway. She could still go to work if she wanted to.

"It's fine because I won't be going to work either."

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

Tobias was willing to stay back with her instead of going to work!

She panicked in an instant. "But you have so much to do, Mr. Whitlock! How could you abandon your work just to look after me? Your work is important."

"They're not as important as you are," he replied calmly.

Her heart skipped a beat.

He chuckled and patted her face gently in assurance. "Stop overthinking, Natalie. Get some rest, and you'll feel better soon."

"What about you, Mr. Whitlock?"

"I'll sit here and stay with you."

Natalie pointed to the hospital cot across her, "You could sleep there, Mr. Whitlock."

He nodded and said, "Alright, you go to sleep first."

She hesitated for a moment and closed her eyes.

She didn't want Tobias to neglect the company for her sake.

She thought that if she recovered quickly, then she would not have to stay in the hospital any longer. This way, he would not need to stay in the hospital to take care of her.

The night went by quickly.

The next day, Natalie woke up at dawn.

Half conscious, she struggled to open her eyes. At the same time, she sensed that someone was staring at her.

When she was finally able to see clearly, Natalie realized that she was right.

Tobias was staring at her as he sat at the edge of the bed.

His gaze was calm and gentle, and his deep-set eyes glinted as he looked at her.

Warmth surged up within her.

She peered behind him to look at the hospital cot across her, and she was baffled to notice that the sheets on the cot were untouched, tidily stacked together.

Did Tobias stay up all night to look after her? Or more accurately, to stare at her?

She was flustered.

"Mr. Whitlock, you weren't up all night last night, were you?"

"I was."

"You sat on my bed the entire night?"

"Yes." "Please don't tell me you were staring at me like that the whole night." "I was."

Natalie could almost pass out. "Why?"

"You looked pretty."

She was speechless.

Natalie reached to feel her face and thought to herself a little skeptically, "Am I really that goodlooking? He was willing to give up sleep to stare at me for the entire night."

"But Mr. Whitlock, I don't think I am a stunner."

"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder," Tobias purred. "Besides, we are lovers."

The word "lovers" made Natalie's heart jump.

Were they lovers now?

The hospital staff came in to send her breakfast later that morning. There was milk, fruits, and bread.

But Natalie didn't have the appetite to eat.

She craved doughnuts instead. Not just any doughnut, but the ones sold by the roadside.
