The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 495

Chapter 495

A look of determination came over his face.

“I have to go,” he urged.

Natalie grabbed Draco’s shoulders and gently restrained him to the bed.

“The doctor told me that in your current condition, you’re not to get out of bed. If you’re not carefully enough, you could put your very life in danger.”

Closing his eyes in despair, Draco murmured, “Are the efforts of the past few years going to be in vain now?”

Natalie felt wretched.

It was her fault this was happening, and she was desperate to do something to help. She suddenly felt Draco take her hand.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Wesley?” she asked, concerned.

Draco’s eyes were shining with inspiration.

“Natalie, you can go there for me!” he said.

Natalie hung her head.

“I can’t,” she replied sadly.

Her instinctive response was to refuse.

She was just an assistant designer; she didn’t have the qualifications or the reputation to represent Draco at such a grand event as Iridescent Show.

“You can go, and you must,” Draco said firmly.

“You are the only other designer who has read all the materials and participated in my creation,” he pointed out.

“No one is more qualified than you.”

Suddenly, a nurse appeared at the door.

“Time’s up,” she announced.

“The patient is in poor shape and needs rest. Visiting hours are limited.”

The nurse looked at Natalie expectantly.

Outside the door, through the glass window. Brandon could see that Draco was holding Natalie’s hand.

Brandon frowned.

It wasn’t a particularly intimate gesture, but the scene displeased him nonetheless.

Holding hands, Natalie and Draco looked like a couple; her, with eyes full of tears, and him, with eyes full of affection.

Brandon scowled.

If Natalie had looked out the window at that very moment, she would have met his cold, resentful gaze.
