The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359

When Natalie returned to her bedroom, Samuel was still awake.

Even after she showered, he still hadn’t gone to bed.

“Aren’t you tired?” Natalie asked.

“I was waiting for you.” Samuel walked up to her. “Come over here, I’ll help you apply some medication.”

Natalie couldn’t help but smile.

“Mmm-hmm.”

Submitting herself, she let him lead her to the bed.

While she sat on the edge, Samuel knelt on one knee and applied some medication on the bruises that were left by Lionel when he strangled her.

Samuel’s fingers felt burning hot to her, while the cream felt icy cold.

Jolted by the sensation, Natalie recoiled by reflex.

“Don’t move,” Samuel ordered softly. The look in his eyes was both gentle and domineering at the same time. “How am I going to do this if you keep fidgeting?”

“Actually, it’s not a big deal.”

“Stop playing it down,” Samuel replied with gritted teeth. “I have never seen a woman like you that lets herself get hurt and doesn’t feel the urgency of getting treated.”

Pouting, Natalie retorted, “I just don’t like it. You can go on ahead and fall for someone else. I didn’t force you”

The next moment, Samuel shot her a glance when he realized he didn’t have anything to counter.

Knowing that she had grasped his weakness, Natalie didn’t fear him at all.

As for him, it was difficult to fall for any other woman after being impressed by her achievements.

Not wanting to hear any more of her rants, Samuel decided to shut her up with a kiss.

Back in the hospital, Lia was already awake.

Lionel stayed by her side instead of getting one of the servants to do it.

Ever since she was awake, Lia would only eat, drink, and shower. Other than that, she barely

spoke.
