My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364 Conspiracy Revealed

Wilhelm's insistence was utterly uncharacteristic.

But he'd gone this far, and even though Archie did doubt him, he knew that the possibility was slim.

Even if you discounted his identity, too great to target Natalia over something that small, but just the fact that the method was this clumsy, it didn't seem likely that it was done by this calculating old man.

So, after a bit of a stalemate, Archie moved out of the way all the same.

Wilhelm hurried inside.

Natalia hadn't woken up. She needed anesthetic for the stitches, and with her high fever, she was in a deep sleep.

He looked on from a distance. That pale little face of hers was buried in the pillow, looking so fragile, so heart-wrenching.

His eyes reddened.

"How are her wounds? Will she be fine?"

Archie's frown grew deeper. He really couldn't tell what was going on with the old man's reactions.

Still, he replied, "She'll be fine for now."

Hearing that, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

Behind her, Emma reminded quietly, "Old sir, Mrs. McCarthy is out of danger for now, and Mr. McCarthy is here. It will be fine. Your health matters. Please don't worry too much."

Wilhelm nodded and turned to Archie. "You have to look after her. I'm leaving her to you."

Archie grew more and more dubious as he said, "Are you sure you're all right, Grandpa Kawn?"

Wilhelm waved it off.

"I'm fine. I owed this girl for what happened that night, so I came over to check on her. Since she's fine, I'm leaving. Take care of her."

With that, and Emma at his arm, he left.

Archie looked at his receding back, his handsome brow furrowing.

Another half-hour later, Natalia finally woke.

Seeing Archie there, she wasn't surprised. Asking him what happened when she was out, she heard that Wilhelm had come around and thought the old man had just caught wind by accident and stopped by to look, and so she didn't get hung up on it.

Archie murmured, "Have you upset anyone in the cast lately?"

Natalia thought about it, frowned, and shook her head. "No."

She paused, then looked up at the man. "Was it intentional?"

Archie nodded.

Natalia went quiet.

Afraid she'd overthink things, Archie soothed, "Don't worry, I'll deal with it. You need to rest up."

Natalia nodded.

She wasn't worried about the incident. With Archie there, she knew he wouldn't let her suffer for nothing.

And since there was intent behind her incident, they had to have left evidence.

After waking, Natalia ate. Because her hands couldn't move, Archie fed her spoon by spoon.

She asked about the old home. Afraid that the two elders would worry, the cast had sealed off the news, and he hadn't told them, either. So William and Ariana were still in the dark.

Natalia appreciated that.

After her meal, Natalia still wasn't feeling too energetic, so Archie had her rest for a while and sent Nancy in to watch over her.

Seeing Natalia conscious, Nancy blamed herself.

Originally, no matter where Natalia went and unless she was with Archie, she followed behind.

But she had to take care of something with her brother today, so she'd asked for a break. She hadn't thought this would happen after leaving for just half a day.

Natalia was worried that Archie would blame her, so she spoke to Archie about it in private.
