My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 85

Why did she get so worked up? She was the one in pain, not Tobias.

Sometimes, she had to learn how to match her actions to the situation.

Tobias stared at her small and swollen, yet pale hand, and his eyes darkened.

He scooped some ointment with his fingertips and applied it to Natalie's hand.

Natalie felt as if an electric current penetrated through her whole body from her hand.

Tobias' movements were very gentle, but Natalie felt numb all over her body.

She had been staring at Tobias' hand, applying the ointment on hers.

Tobias' hand was beautiful, slender, but powerful. When his finger touched the back of her hand, Natalie felt a strange sensation coursing through her body.

Finally, he was done. Natalie let out a breath and sighed in relief.

Tobias' hand left hers. Natalie felt that the strange sensation in her body had also disappeared. She then shifted her focus to her hand.

Her hand felt much better after applying the ointment. Her wound was burning before. However, that feeling was now replaced with a cooling sensation as all traces of pain were gone. "This ointment is really effective." Natalie couldn't help but exclaim.

Tobias glanced at Natalie and replied faintly, "Be more careful next time."

"By the way, why didn't you give me the ointment earlier? Why did you only give it to me after you were done enjoying your meal slowly?" Natalie suddenly thought of something.

Tobias' tone was bland. "For someone who only thought of washing her scalded hand with cold water, I thought that she should suffer a little longer to teach her a lesson."

Natalie was struck dumb.

Well, it turned out that Tobias had his reasons.

As it was getting late, Natalie went to bed.

Lying in bed, somehow, she was still wide awake. She couldn't fall asleep. In the end, she reached out her hand to inspect it.

The ointment was very effective as the swelling on her hands had vanished.

Suddenly, Natalie thought back to when Tobias was smearing the ointment on her hand. His slender and beautiful fingers swiped her skin gently. This action brought her comfort.

Natalie blushed at this thought as she covered her face with a pillow.

"God, Natalie, what are you doing!" She screamed at herself.

Was spring approaching? Was that moment turning her on? Was she unable to resist herself from such sensual thoughts?

Natalie scolded herself in her heart.

The next day, when Natalie woke up, Tobias had already left for the office.

Aunt Lee asked her mysteriously, "Miss Godfrey, do you know why Mr. Whitlock didn't come back the night before yesterday?"

"I guess he was still in the office," Natalie recalled what Tobias had told her.

Aunt Lee nodded with a smile. "Mr. Whitlock was indeed working at the office, but that's all because of you, Miss Godfrey."

"Because of me?" Natalie was stunned.

Aunt Lee showed an even wider grin. "Isn't that so? I only found out as I overheard him on the phone this morning. It turned out that the reason he worked overtime all night long in the company the night before was to finish all his work to have time to deal with Miss Godfrey's matters during the day."

"Deal with my matters?" Natalie was startled.

Aunt Lee nodded and replied, "I didn't hear much about the details. Mr. Whitlock was on the phone with his assistant. He hung up after exchanging a few words."

Natalie froze momentarily as an indescribable feeling arose in her heart.

It turned out that this man was not out fooling around last night. Instead, he dealt with work all night long because he had to take care of her matters during the day. Natalie sat at the table with a bitter expression.
