Bastien stood up and left the ward.
Joseph thought Bastien had settled it and intended to leave the hospital.
“Mr. Nine, let me send you home.”
“I will stay here at the hospital tonight.” Bastien’s face seemed gentle. “Joseph, please arrange for someone to make some soup for her.”
“Mr. Nine, you…”
Joseph could not believe what he heard.
Bastien might seem like a gentleman, but he was hard to get close to.
Many women used to fall in love with him because he was gentle. Yet, in the end, they got hurt deeply.
Joseph had been working for Bastien for over seven years. It was the first time he saw the latter care so much for a woman.
“Are my words so hard to understand?” Bastien narrowed his eyes. “Do you need me to repeat it?”
“No. No need.” Joseph choked on his word. “I am just curious why Mr. Nine treats this woman so differently? What’s so special about her?”
“Hmm…”
Seeing Joseph’s curious look, Bastien uttered faintly, “She will be the future Mrs. Nine.”
Upon hearing that, Joseph’s heart skipped a beat.
“So remember. From now on, all her orders are like my order to you. You must do as she says!”
Joseph recollected himself and nodded.
Meanwhile, inside the ward.
Natalie thought she would not be able to go home that night. She took out her phone and texted Samuel.
She typed a line of text.
I am injured…
She hesitated for a while and eventually deleted those words.
