The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 687

Chapter 687 Way More Than This

Meanwhile, the children were as anxious as cats on a hot tin roof. Franklin, Sophia, Xavian, and Clayton had been waiting for Natalie the whole night.

When morning came, Franklin decided to just go ahead and call Samuel.

Samuel had not slept a wink when his phone rang. When he saw it was Franklin, he went out of the ward to talk.

“Franklin…”

“Daddy! Mommy has not been home the whole night! She didn’t even tell Mr. Gavin where she went. We tried calling her, but nobody picked up!” It went without saying that the kid was worried sick.

“Her phone ran out of battery.”

“Huh?” Franklin paused. “Is she with you?”

“Yes, she is. We have some work to settle, so we won’t be home the next few days,” Samuel reassured.

“I’m sorry we might have to postpone you guys’ birthday celebration. Mommy’s still sleeping. I’ll ask her to give y’all a call when she wakes up?”

“Sure, Daddy,” Franklin replied in all solemnity. “I’ll tell Xavian and Clayton. It’s not a big deal. We just wanted to make sure that Mommy is all right.”

Ever since Natalie moved in, Franklin had grown to be more understanding and mature, and Samuel was glad he made progress.

“Good. I’ll see y’all soon,” he replied.

After their call ended, Samuel went back to the room. By the time he returned, Natalie was already awake and was checking her wound.

“Samuel, are we at the hospital?” she asked.
