The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 582

Chapter 582 So Cruel

Gerald didn’t talk for a long time after hearing that response.

“Natalie, if an unknown drug is out there, then the consequences would be dire, regardless of what the drugs’ uses are.”

“That is why Melissa’s death isn’t the end,” said Natalie. She stared at the stars shining in the sky, and her red lips parted. “My gut tells me that this is somehow related to my granddad’s murder case. Melissa’s death isn’t the end. If anything, it is just the beginning.”

Both Natalie and Gerald had complex feelings about that case.

Twenty-three years ago, Arnold died in the Nichols residence, and the police investigation concluded his death was an accident.

That “accident” had too many coincidences leading to it, though. It was just like how Melissa suddenly went crazy and got shot. Everything was simply too… clean.

“I can’t keep Melissa’s body here forever, but I’ve asked Effie to keep two samples of her blood safe.”

“I see. Okay, thanks.”

Natalie hung up the phone after that.

She didn’t know if the call had affected her or if the winter wind was too strong, but she was shivering before she even knew it.

She crawled into her blanket and wrapped herself up, but she was still so cold that she shivered.

While combating the chill coursing through her veins, Natalie fell asleep. Too many things ran through her mind, and all the images and people started intertwining. It was as though she was standing on quicksand and was being dragged…

She didn’t feel warm or safe until a masculine body leaned close to her.

Like an octopus, Natalie hugged and stuck herself to that warmth.

Samuel, on the other hand, tilted his head down to look at the woman in his arms. He sighed internally. Everything was fine earlier, so why is she so cold now? Seriously, why won’t she take care of herself without me monitoring her? I honestly don’t know what to do. She can be as smart and as devious as a fox at times, but somehow, she doesn’t remember to care for herself.

Samuel truly didn’t know what to do. He sighed aloud, then tightened his hug on her to warm her up with his body temperature.
