Chapter 98
The cruelest thing in this world isn’t failing to obtain what you desire but losing it after it’s
finally in your grasp.
“Little dummy.” Natalie thought she heard Brian’s voice again. She calmly opened her eyes and took a few seconds to realize she was in a hospital.
She slightly turned her head and saw Brian sitting on the nearby couch, his gaze locked onto the documents on his laptop screen, a frown creasing his brow, dark circles under his eyes pronounced.
She had asked Rosie the night before to get her some hemostatic, considering the hotel was full of celebrities, fans, and paparazzi. She didn’t want to make a scene and give away the nature of her relationship with Brian.
Brian felt Natalie stir on the hospital bed and turned to look at her, meeting her gaze just in

“I’d rather marry a vegetable,” Natalie replied almost instantly, without a second thought.
“Natalie!” Brian’s face darkened quickly.
“Only because that’s not the answer you wanted,” Natalie retorted with another wry smile. “But Brian, our agreement only lasts for a year. After that, you have no right to interfere in my

personal life.”
The short time after the agreement felt like an eternity to Natalie. There were still over three hundred days left for her to coexist with this devil
