Chapter 1205 Refusing To Back Away
Meanwhile, inside a bedroom at Luna Palace, the palace’s best royal physician stood next to Natalie, frowning as he took her pulse. Mikhail began to worry when he saw the physician’s expression. A formidable pressure began to build up.
“Dr. Dalton, what’s the matter? Is she all right?” Although the physician was unlikely to declare Natalie dead and tell him to make preparations for her funeral, he felt an ominous feeling looming over them.
Lucien was unaware of the relationship between Natalie and Mikhail, but he had never seen the latter so anxious before. Thus, he hurriedly replied, “The girl is severely malnourished, and she lost a lot of blood from being shot in the shoulder and passed out due to that. However, her life is not in danger. I will do my best to treat her.”
Shoulder injury? Samuel immediately turned his sharp gaze to Natalie’s shoulder. Her shoulder was injured, and she had lost a lot of blood. But it had not been obvious on her red clothing.
She pretended to be fine? Samuel was furious, but when he stared at Natalie, he felt his anger give way to heartache and admiration.
He wanted to protect her, but she was not some damsel in distress. She was more akin to a sturdy tree that could proudly hold her ground.
I love her so much. Mikhail declared, “Dr. Dalton, spare no expense and use the best medicine. You must heal her no matter what!”
With a serious expression, Lucien nodded. “I will.”
Mikhail and Samuel left the room temporarily to let the physician take care of Natalie’s wounds.
After Lucien had finished stitching and bandaging Natalie’s wounds, Samuel and Mikhail returned to her side.
Just before he left, Lucien reminded them that Natalie needed to rest quietly and informed them that the earliest she would wake up was likely the next morning.
Samuel and Mikhail both remained in the room.
Exchanging a glance, the two men seized each other up and knew that they both wanted to stay with Natalie.
Mikhail said, “She’s my daughter, so I should stay with her.”
Samuel replied, “It’s my right to stay with my wife”
One was her father and monarch, while the other was her husband and heir of a prominent family.
The two of them refused to step back, adamantly refusing to back away. Thus, it resulted in a stalemate and both of them remained in the room.
Glancing between the two, Yandel felt delighted.
He had assumed that he would be declared a hindrance and kicked out. Seeing that Mikhail and Samuel were both staying, he wanted to remain in the room as well. Hehe, I can watch over Boss even though I’m not her father or husband.
Natalie was dead to the world, completely unaware of the people who loitered around her bedside.
The next day, it was already noon when Natalie’s eyelids fluttered. She had slept through the entire night and morning. She felt the pain in her shoulder flare up the moment she woke, causing her to suck in several breaths.
Ouch! What’s happening? Is my shoulder wounded?
Natalie could no longer continue to sleep after feeling the pain.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself looking at two men who looked unkempt guarding the bed she lay on. One sprawled at the head of the bed, while the other was at the end—they were Samuel and Mikhail.
Samuel was the first to wake up when she made a slight movement under the sheets.
Opening his eyes, Samuel’s gaze lingered on Natalie’s face for a long moment. Finally, he murmured, “You’re awake.”
There were many things he wanted to say, but he could only utter these two words.
Natalie smiled. “Yes.”
She shared Samuel’s sentiment, but at the same time, she could only reply with one word.
