Chapter 798 The Unspoken Secret
Samuel fixated his eyes on Natalie’s face. “It’s not that I don’t understand you. Instead, it’s because I do that I said all that. Only then will you lower your guard against me, and will I be able to use such a method to protect you!”
“Why were so foolish?”
Tears escaped down Natalie’s eyes unbidden and streamed down like a faucet.
It was then that she realized she had misunderstood him earlier.
“Why did you do that? Why must you do such a thing for my sake? This was a grudge between her and me. It had nothing to do with you! How could you allow the needle to jab into you when you didn’t even know what was in the syringe? Samuel, I really hate you making an arbitrary decision like this!” Excruciating pain racked Natalie, and it felt as though someone was ripping her heart out.
Samuel lifted a massive hand and wiped the tears from the corner of her eye with his thumb. “It’s okay even if you hate that. Nothing matters as long as you’re fine. I promised to take care of you and protect you forever. Thus, I must fulfill my promise to you.”
“Who asked you to be so honorable? You should’ve just forgotten those sweet nothings!”
“It’s just a role reversal so that you can also have a taste of my feelings back when you disregarded me just now.” The corners of Samuel’s lips turned up a fraction.
“I don’t want to talk to you right now, Samuel Bowers!”
Natalie wept so much that her eyes turned red-rimmed. She placed Samuel’s arm across her shoulders.
Then, she rubbed her eyes hard to stop her tears from flowing further. I can’t cry anymore!
“My medical skills are superb. Since I can cure so many intractable diseases, I can surely cure you too!” Biting her lip so hard that it bled, she asserted solemnly, “I can do it. You must believe me, Samuel!”
Samuel didn’t feel any discomfort then, and he replied, “My wife’s medical skills are unparalleled, so I believe her!”
“Great!”
