Chapter 173 

Natalie wrapped her arms around Samuel‘s waist to support him. “Are you okay, Samuel?”

She then placed her hand on his forehead and was shocked to realize that he was burning up. 

Natalie took a good look at the man‘s face again. Only then did she notice how pale his face was. It had only been a week since she last saw him, and now, he was in such a horrible state. 

He‘s having a fever, and I think the fever has lasted for a few days... 

Just as Natalie was about to carry Samuel into her room to help him cool down, Billy stopped her from doing so. 

“What‘s wrong, Mr. Morin?” Natalie looked at Billy with a frown. 

“Ms. Nichols, Sir is not in great condition now. I need to bring him back to the Bowers residence so that the family doctor could treat him. Sir is the head of the Bowers family, and the family has its own rules. The head of the family must only be treated by the family doctor. I hope you understand,” Billy said seriously. 

Samuel‘s position as the head of the family was indeed prominent and important. Naturally, a position like this would be coveted by many. It was reasonable to set a rule like that to prevent others from harming Samuel like how Max nearly died because of the poison. 

After much hesitation, Natalie finally bit her lip and nodded in agreement. “I understand.” 

Just as she was about to let Billy take Samuel from her arms, Samuel, who was already unconscious, wrapped his arms around Natalie and would not let go. 

The man was very ill, yet he still had a tremendous amount of strength. He held Natalie like a drowning man clutching onto a lifebuoy, and he would not let go no matter what. 

“Samuel, can you let go first?” Natalie said. 

Samuel‘s eyelids moved, but his arms were still wrapped around Natalie‘s waist. He would not budge. 

This man could have everything he wanted in the world. Why would he do anything to protect me? I‘m just a plain and ordinary woman.” 

At first, she thought the reason Samuel got close to her was that he was plotting something against her, but now, she was not quite sure about that. What kind of plot would make him go this far for me?
