Spoiled By The President: My Wife Is A Little Sweet novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Then I Agree

"It's the yellow snake grass they have used in the drug. It will temporarily paralyze the vocal cords, but it usually doesn't last long, and she should be able to talk before too long."

Archie nodded, and only then did he let Brian send the doctor out.

After they had all left, he walked over to the bed and looked at the woman lying on it.

Natalia was now much quieter, lying silently under the quilt, motionless, as if she was asleep.

Only the small face of her, still flushed with a thin layer of scarlet, had somehow revealed her pain and endurance.

Archie looked at her for a while, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he just turned around and walked away.

A few seconds later, the sound of water clattering came from the bathroom.

Natalia opened her eyes in a daze and felt a strong, tall shadow looming towards her.

"Let's go have some cold water for a while, huh?"

She looked at him and nodded.

Archie picked her up from the bed with both of his hands and walked towards the bathroom.

The wide bathtub was already well filled with water, and Archie put her in. The cold water caused her to shiver, and she couldn't help but hold her arms tight.

"Can you sit still by yourself?"

Natalia nodded, wanting to say yes, but right after the man let go of her, her body went limp and she plunged straight into the water involuntarily.

A soft sigh of helplessness rang out overhead.

The next second, she was scooped up from under the water, and she coughed a few times in pain and spat out a mouthful of water.

Just as she was about to open her eyes, a towel came up and in a not-so-gentle motion, he wiped the water off her face. And then there was the sound of water splashing.

He also sat in the tub.

He sat right behind her, letting her lean against him, with his arms wrapping around her.

Natalia's back instantly stiffened, only to feel as if her back was leaning against a wall of volcanic rock, which was hot.

The strong hormone of the man filled her nostrils, and the fever that had just been pushed down in her body was stirred up again.

She couldn't help but struggle and try to leave him, but a cold voice with a hint of displeasure came from behind her, "Don't you move again!"

His face darkened. He was not in good mood being rejected by her. If he was not afraid that she might slide into the water and drown herself, he would not sit in.

She should know, it was not just her who was suffering in such position.

She seemed to have thought of this, and her face changed. After making sure he wouldn't do anything, she sat meekly still.

There was silence all around, and the two were quietly soaking in the water. Because of the heat of their bodies, the originally cold water didn't seem so cold anymore.

Thinking of the Dawsons who had just drugged her, she found the whole thing peculiar.

Originally, she thought that the Dawson family, no matter how filthy they were, were just biased and wanted her to give up voluntarily so that they could make it easy for Shawn and Jessica.

And she also didn't want to have anything to do with Shawn either, so it did not matter much to her if Shawn was really with Jessica.

But to her surprise, they were even more cold-hearted and ruthless than she thought.

Just for the two to be engaged without being criticized and gossiped about, they actually accused her of having an affair with Dennis!

That's not it. They even drugged her and tried to send her to that scum's bed!

Those were her father and her grandmother!

If she hadn't grown up in the Dawson family, if she hadn't gotten along with this family fairly well for the first eighteen years, she really would have wondered if she was the Dawson family's own child or not!

Raging anger mixed with untold sorrow surged through her chest.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
