The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 

Clayton clenched his fists as tears brimmed in his eyes upon Natalie‘s words. 

“Mommy, are you sure?” 

Natalie was completely distraught after her phone call with Xavian. However, she was able to keep her cool in front of Clayton. 

“Do you and Xavian really want me to date that badly?” 

“Mommy, our biological father is a b*stard. He doesn‘t deserve you even if he‘s still alive,” Clayton said matter–of–factly. “Samuel, on the other hand, is handsome, has a good figure, and is the head of the Bowers. Xavian also said he‘s very good to you. So of course, he‘s a man worth marrying. We‘re not that naive to insist that our biological parents must be together. We only have your best interest at heart.” 

All along, Natalie thought that her sons only got close with Samuel because they were yearning for a father‘s love, 

Turns out they just wanted her to be happy instead of enjoying a father‘s love. 

They wanted to pamper her even though they were only five years old. 

I‘m so lucky to be their mother. 

“Clayton, remember this.” Natalie caressed his head and smiled fondly. “It would make Mommy happiest to see you and Xavian grow up happy and healthy. I don‘t need you to make a name for yourselves because all I want is for the two of you to be healthy.” 

After they left the apartment, Natalie hailed a cab and headed toward the Bowers residence with Clayton. 

She received Christopher‘s email on her way there. 

Natalie felt her heart skip a beat when she saw his email. 

The dragonblood fruit is with Julian? What a twist of events! 

Back then, Julian contacted her online to seek treatment. She rejected him for two reasons. The first one being she considered him a heartless businessman that didn‘t deserve to be saved. The second reason was that there was no cure for his illness. 

She learned TCM, not witchcraft. She was able to treat some of the illnesses that seemed severe because it still wasn‘t life–threatening. However, there was nothing she could do for terminally ill patients. The acupuncture skills and medicinal books passed down by her grandad were of no help either. 

Julian didn‘t get enough rest during his early stage of illness and consumed a lot of illegal drugs. He had been running on empty for the past few years now since illegal drugs couldn‘t help him anymore. When he finally realized he was on the brink of death, he began hunting for skilled doctors and famous medicines to treat himself. 

Could it be that I‘m destined to face Julian?
