Chapter 1008 Persevere In Difficult Times
Samuel cleared his throat and looked displeased.
Lia would be an idiot if she still could not understand what Samuel meant. Thus, she had no choice but to let go of Natalie.
However, she had to admit that it felt comfortable hugging Natalie. She smelled nice and was soft to the touch. Therefore, if Samuel had not stopped Lia, she would be reluctant to let Natalie go.
Natalie did not say anything, but she glared at Samuel with a tinge of annoyance.
Why is he even more possessive after getting married? I was hugging a woman. Why does he look so jealous?
Samuel saw Natalie’s annoyed expression and softened his expression instantly. He pulled her into his embrace and said to Yandel and Lia, “Nat is the love of my life. I will never disappoint her for the rest of my limited life and will do my best to cherish her. I will make sure that she has happiness and live freely.”
For… I don’t have much time left.
Yandel and Lia were unaware of the poison in Samuel’s body. They thought he was assuring them, who were like a family to her, that he would treat her well.
On the other hand, pain flashed briefly in Natalie’s eyes as she listened to Samuel.
“Samuel, since you have finished touring my workplace, I need to get back to work soon.” Natalie looked at Samuel and continued, “Let me walk you to the door.”
“Sure.” Samuel nodded gently.
Then, Natalie walked to the company entrance with Samuel.
After hesitating for a long time, Natalie stopped holding back and said, “Samuel, you mustn’t say something so depressing!”
“What did I say that sounded depressing?” Samuel looked at Natalie affectionately and smoothened her windswept fringe.
“You said things such as how limited life is, that you only have half a year. If you die and others…” Natalie’s chest felt constricted. The pleasant mood from before had disappeared. Instead, turbulent emotions appeared in her almond-shaped eyes.
Then, Natalie continued, “I know your condition seems hopeless, and even I cannot deal with the toxins in your body. However, it does not mean I have given up. I will keep looking for ways to cure you, and I won’t give up even at the final minute. Therefore, I hope you don’t give up on yourself! You are now my husband and the father of my five children. I won’t allow you to forfeit and speak as if you are ready to leave us.”
Samuel looked at the woman before him.
The sunlight shone on her delicate face. Her eyes glittered slightly with tears. It was a heartbreaking sight.
Even as the breeze fluttered her hair, she remained firm with undefeatable determination and stubbornness.
At that moment, Samuel’s heart was like a sponge soaked in warm water. It felt full and warm.
He had been suffering from the poison since he was young. No one else could understand the excruciating pain he had to go through whenever something triggered the effects of the poison.
When he was pretending to be Xander to stay by Natalie’s side, he had considered giving up and was indifferent to Luna’s treatment plan. He lived with the assumption that he had only half a year left.
However, Natalie’s words made him reconsider his purpose of living.
Meanwhile, Natalie saw the frown on Samuel’s brow and asked softly, “Samuel, can you bear to leave me behind?”
“No, I can’t,” Samuel answered without hesitation.
“I know we have immense obstacles before us. However, it took me a long time to learn to trust and love you, so I can’t bear to give you up so soon.” Natalie stood on tiptoes and kissed his neck.
“God gifted you to me. I will never let you go without putting up a fight, even if God wishes to take you away. Therefore, please promise me that you won’t give up on life no matter what happens! You must persevere and continue living, no matter how difficult. If we persist, we might have a chance to turn this around.” Natalie implored.
