Chapter 304 Treating The Wound
Natalie blushed even harder when she realized she had misunderstood Samuel’s intentions.
Neither of them said another word after that. The sexual tension in the room gradually increased as he gently unzipped her gown from behind, revealing her smooth and slender back.
Samuel swallowed hard and tried really hard to stay focused.
Had it not been for the fact that her arm was injured, he probably would’ve lost control over himself by then.
Natalie couldn’t see his facial expression as she had her back turned toward him, but she could hear him breathing heavily.
The feeling of his warm fingers on her skin gave her goosebumps all over.
Samuel was especially gentle in his approach when he helped get her arms out of the sleeves.
At that moment, Natalie felt as if she was his most precious treasure.
It took three long minutes just to get the dress off her, and they were both sweating profusely on their foreheads.
Natalie was sweating from the pain she felt when the dress brushed against her wound while being removed.
Samuel, on the other hand, was sweating from holding his sexual urges back with all his might.
“Put the nightgown on,” Samuel said in a deep voice while holding a hand over his eyes.
“Okay.”
Natalie felt a warm sensation in her heart when she saw that.
Samuel was usually like a beast in bed, so it was unbelievable that he became such a gentleman for fear of hurting her.
“I’m done,” Natalie said after she put the nightgown on.
Samuel then moved his hand away from his eyes and rolled up her sleeve to examine the wound.
“How did you get this wound?” he asked coldly.
Natalie skipped the part about Jacyntha’s attempt to kill her and got straight to the point.
“Someone nearly fell off the building, so I helped save her.”
“Was that person worth saving?”
Natalie pursed her lips. “I don’t think that’s a factor to consider. I just hate those who don’t try to save others, and I don’t want to end up becoming the kind of person that I hate…”
Samuel simply held on to her hand and maintained that cold look in his eyes.
“Well, I’ve already gotten used to getting injured, so—”
Samuel interrupted her, “You may be used to it, but I’m not. Looks like I’ll have to keep you within my sight at all times. Otherwise, you won’t understand the pain I feel when I see you get hurt.”
Unsure of how to deal with his sweetness, Natalie simply bit down on her lip in response.
Samuel then had someone deliver a first aid kit to their room.
Unable to trust anyone treating her wound, Samuel rolled up her sleeve and applied the ointment himself.
He was so gentle that Natalie didn’t feel any pain during the process at all. In fact, she was so tired that she began dozing off halfway through.
After treating the wound, Samuel carefully held her in his arms as he lay down next to her.
Thanks to the warmth of his embrace and the sense of security he provided, Natalie soon drifted off into a deep sleep.
Samuel waited until she was fast asleep before letting go of her. He then went to the hotel balcony and gave Justin a call.
Having been woken up so suddenly, Justin’s mind was still in a daze when he answered the phone.
“W-What’s the matter, Samuel? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night? Did something happen?” he asked in panic and confusion.
“It’s about the development of the vein mine. Has the Collins family made their move yet?”
“Don’t worry. I have my eye on them. They haven’t done anything yet. Samuel, did you really call me at this hour just to check on the development progress?”
“Yes.”
Samuel then hung up the phone and began puffing away on a cigarette.
While I do believe that Natalie doesn’t have feelings for Christopher, it’s possible that he has ulterior motives for approaching her. I don’t mind competing with Christopher for the development right of the vein mine, but if he dares to harm Natalie… I’ll make sure he dies a horrible death!
