Chapter 176
Natalie pushed the door open and entered the room. The first thing she saw was Samuel sleeping in his light blue pajamas.
He must‘ve fallen asleep again after taking his medicine.
Slowly and quietly, Natalie approached him and placed the mushroom soup on the table beside the bed.
Then, she bent over to take a good look at his sleeping face.

His beautiful eyes were now tightly shut, and his eyelashes were moving slightly as he breathed.

The goatee on his chin was shaved as well, revealing his clean face and perfect jawline.
How amazing. God is so unfair. Samuel is capable of almost everything, and he has a prominent family background, too. Not only that, but he also has a breathtakingly–handsome face. He is perfect. No wonder Celia fell head over heels for him.
At that moment, Natalie had the sudden urge to touch his eyelashes. However, before she could do that, her wrist was grabbed by a warm hand.
The next second, she was yanked onto the bed, and Samuel was on top of her.
“Samuel... You pretended to be asleep?” Natalie blinked. The mattress beneath her was so soft, and she almost sank into it. As Samuel towered over her, the distance between them was so close that she could feel his breath on her.
“Why did you run away?” Samuel ignored Natalie‘s question and asked, “Why aren‘t you by my side when I needed someone to take care of me?”
It was as if he was venting the frustration when he interrogated her.
Natalie avoided the man‘s eyes and mumbled, “There are plenty of people looking after you. I‘m not needed here.”
Samuel stared at Natalie without looking away and said seriously, “But I don‘t need anyone other than you.”
