The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198
After swallowing the pill, Natalie put the white porcelain bottle on the bedside cabinet
“You’ll need to take the medicinal bath for three consecutive days. Also, soak your feet for two hours every day. Remember to take a pill half an hour after the medicinal bath. You’ll fully recover in a week.”
Christopher took a white pill from the porcelain bottle and swallowed it.
This girl has excellent medical skills. Most of the pain in my lungs has disappeared. Clearly, she didn’t lie to me.
After Natalie gave her advice, she packed her medical kit and carried it on her back before glancing back at Christopher.
“I owed you a favor for overhearing your secrets. Since I’ve cured you of your illness, we’re even now.”
Natalie did not bid him goodbye, not wanting to see him ever again.
This man is so paranoid.
If she got involved in his affairs one more time, she was afraid that she might even lose her life.
She turned around and was about to go out of the room when suddenly, her sight blurred, and she could not help but fall backward.
Instantly, Christopher leaped from the bed and caught Natalie, who had just fainted.
Her clothes were still dripping wet, so her body temperature was a bit low. Currently, she lay in his arms with her eyes closed.
Seeing Christopher holding Natalie in his arms, Nicholas approached him to take her from his arms. “Mr. Collins, let me hold her..
“No,” Christopher rejected in a deep voice and glanced at him. “Get some clean clothes for her and put them in the private room on the east wing.”
“Mr. Collins, that private room..

Getting impatient, Christopher questioned, “Nicholas, did you not understand what I’d just said?”
Nicholas instantly shut his mouth and ordered the housekeeper to find some clothes for Natalie.
Then, Christopher bent over to carry Natalie up from the floor before heading toward the private room on the east wing.
Upon arriving at the private room, he gently placed her on the bed.
He did not leave. Instead, he got down on one knee at the side of the bed to observe the unconscious woman.
In actuality, he had seen many different types of attractive women. Some of them were kind and gentle while the others were cute. However, Natalie was like no other.. She was neither humble nor arrogant, and she even dared to go against him.
On top of that, she had healed him, a person who desperately wanted to stay alive.
Christopher’s fingertip brushed against the bridge of her nose before slowly moving down her face.
What should I give her in return?
When his fingertips landed on her chin, he suddenly noticed that there was something odd.
Without any hesitation, he immediately lifted the hyper-realistic mask off her face.
With that, a fair and flawless face appeared in front of his eyes.
As her eyelashes fluttered slightly like the wings of a butterfly, her smooth skin, delicate nose, and crimson lips took his breath away.
Gripping the hyper-realistic mask in his hand, he felt his heart skip a beat.
I thought only it was only her eyes that were beautiful. I didn’t know she was wearing a hyper realistic mask the whole time.
His lips curled into a smile as he felt like he had just found the rarest treasure in the world.
I’m given not only the chance to continue to live but also a precious woman.

Just then, Nicholas knocked on the door. Knock! Knock!
All of a sudden, a selfish thought flashed across Christopher’s mind. He did not want anyone else to see Natalie’s real appearance, even if that person was his closest subordinate.
Therefore, he commanded, “Put down the clothes at the door. No one is allowed to come in without my permission.”
“Yes,” Nicholas replied.
Natalie was asleep for a long time.
Although it was just a medicinal bath, her body condition was affected by it.
Since Christopher had plenty of waste product inside his body to be excreted, he needed the medicinal bath. However, Natalie was a healthy person. After two hours of soaking in the bath, her body could not stand the effect of the herbs used in the bath.
In actuality, when she was performing acupuncture on Christopher, she was already feeling weak. Nevertheless, she didn’t expect she would collapse in the end.
When Natalie opened her eyes, she instantly saw the indecipherable emotion in Christopher’s eyes.
“You’re awake?” he asked.
“How long have I been asleep?” She pushed herself up on the bed.
“Three hours.”
“Sorry for the trouble. I’ll take my leave now.” She tossed the blanket aside and tried to get out of the bed.
