Chapter 84
Natalie had barely uttered several words when King looked up with a piercing gaze, silencing her immediately.
After a moment, King sighed softly, carefully picked up her bandaged right arm, and said, “I hope it doesn’t scar. Remember to apply the healing ointment three times a day when you are back in the country. It should heal up in a few days.”
His Natalie was meant to be flawless, without a single blemish on her body.
“Sure.” Natalie replied with a grin as she sensed his softened tone. “I won’t forget.”
Then, she added in a quieter voice, “Can you not be mad anymore, please?”
She hadn’t returned to upset King, and his head wasn’t totally right yet. He couldn’t handle the
stress.
King watched her for a while, his eyes gradually softening. “Natalie, when I wanted you at the headquarters, it wasn’t because I expected contributions or sacrifices. I just wanted you to take better care of yourself. If there’s a next time, I forbid you from setting foot in the headquarters again.”
Natalie understood what King meant, but sometimes, she couldn’t help but want to share his burdens and ease his load.
“Also… I’ve been thinking about it. Once you officially graduate, I want to marry you,” King said gently, pinching her cheek and looking into her eyes earnestly.
Natalie had been away for so many days, and he’d been worried about her. He couldn’t wait any longer. He had to commit to Natalie before she got tangled up with Brian.
As his words hung in the air, Natalie looked up at King, her eyes wide with shock, frozen.
Marry her?
“I’ll give you time to think about it. When you’ve decided, tell me,” King said with a gentle smile, lowering his voice.
Brian stood silently outside the emergency room in the corridor, watching the intimate scene unfold before him, his gaze turning frosty by the inch..
Behind him, the hospital director and a group of others stood uncertainly, not understanding why Brian had suddenly stopped.
Brian fixed his eyes on the man in the wheelchair, dressed in hospital garb. So, Natalie had rushed back for this guy, abandoning Nate’s birthday party.
After a while, he let out a silent, cold laugh, turned, and continued walking down the corridor.
Reid, who had followed Brian, hadn’t expected that not finding FireWing would result in such a scene. He treaded carefully behind Brian, not daring to make a sound.
