The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378

Samuel’s gazes were so cold and frosty that they freaked Jolene out. She had wanted to ask the doctor to check on Samuel first, but eventually, she did not dare to do it.

The doctor put down his medical box and began checking on Natalie.

It turned out that it was a rattlesnake, a highly venomous species, that bit Natalie earlier. Fortunately, the hospital had ample antivenoms to counter rattlesnake bites in their medical storage. With proper and timely medical treatment, one would not be in a life-threatening case.

Natalie later went into an unconscious state.

She was freezing and thought of moving around and rubbing her hands to warm herself up. Yet, her whole body felt so weak she did not have the strength.

That made her feel terrible.

Suddenly, she felt something sharp poking through the veins on her arm.

That unusual sensation of intrusion made her curl her body up instinctively.

But at the same time, she felt Samuel’s big warm hands holding onto hers tightly. The skinship gradually aided in the transmission of heat.

Samuel’s hands barely had any calluses, but his index and middle fingers had many creases.

It was so distinct she could tell that it was Samuel holding onto her hand even without opening her eyes.

Instantly, she felt a sense of reassurance.

With him around, no matter how risky the situation was, she felt like she had undefeatable courage within her.

After administering the antivenom for Natalie, the doctor then walked toward Samuel, wanting to check on him.

However, Samuel, who could care less, enquired about Natalie’s condition instead of cooperating with the doctor. “Be honest with me; how is she doing right now?”

The doctor was a little taken aback by Samuel’s reaction but soon recovered from it and answered, “Her condition isn’t too bad. She should be able to recover in about three to five days.”

“Should be?” Samuel raised an eyebrow.

The doctor had always been careful with his words. But having put under the stress, he went through some deliberation and finally replied, “She’ll recover. She’ll be fine after the antivenom shot.”

Samuel only allowed the doctor to treat his wound upon receiving the answer he wanted.
