Chapter 478 Special Treatment From Him
“No,” Yandel lied.
Yandel turned around and spotted the rabbit-shaped apple slices on the plate. “This hospital has such good service. Do they even cut the apples like this now?”
“It wasn’t the hospital.” Natalie rolled her eyes. “Mr. Nine was the one who cut it. His cutting skill is not bad at all. All the rabbits looked lively.”
“Did he cut it himself?”
Holy sh*t. Bastien was the ninth prince in line of succession in Loang, after all. How could he do such a thing for Natalie? It’s unbelievable! What kind of special treatment is this?
Yandel’s jaw dropped in awe. He could not wrap his head around it.
“Do you want to eat too?” Natalie passed a slice of apple to him. “Here.”
“He cut it for you. You should eat it.” Yandel did not dare to eat it.
Natalie ate it without hesitation. “Yandel, you look strange today. What’s going on with you?”
“I…” Yandel choked on his words. “I just felt that this man is dangerous. Boss, maybe you should keep your distance from him.”
Yandel was worried Bastien that had other intentions for treating Natalie so nicely.
Even though he did not reveal Bastien’s identity, he wanted to prevent Natalie from getting involved in the dispute over the succession of Loang.
Natalie somehow understood Yandel’s concerns. “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
After finishing the apple, Natalie enquired about Dexmed Pharmaceutical.
“The last time, Thomas lost over a billion in the black market. Even though it was not a big deal for Dexmed Pharmaceutical, it should take Thomas a lot of effort to cover it. He must be busy now.”
“No, he isn’t really.”
Natalie was taken aback, thinking that she might have heard it wrong. “What did you say?”
“Boss, I thought the same previously, that Thomas would use Dexmed Pharmaceutical’s money to pay his debt, and he would have a hard time with the cash flows problem. But it turns out it is the exact opposite.” Yandel’s expression seemed stern. ”Not only did Dexmed Pharmaceutical’s capital not shrink, but they also have a better cash flow than usual.”
That shouldn’t be the case! Did I underestimate Thomas? Is one billion nothing to him?
“The men we planted in Dexmed Pharmaceutical did not notice any irregularities either,” Yandel continued to elaborate. “Thomas is more cunning than we thought. Maybe he deliberately held back his capabilities during the encounter with Dream. He wanted us to underestimate the true power of Dexmed Pharmaceutical.”
“There is a possibility to that.” Natalie bit her lip tightly, frustrated. “It seems like I have underestimated him. Back then, he was able to snatch all the Bayer family’s assets from my grandfather. Besides the reason that my grandfather trusted him, he must have some pretty good tricks up his sleeves.”
Both of them stared at each other for a long while. They could not wrap their heads around it.
Natalie stayed in the hospital for two more days.
She obeyed everything the doctor said. She even used the crystal needle on herself to boost her recovery.
By the time she came out of the hospital, her leg had mostly recovered. Only the scabbed part of her palm had not fallen off. It looked a little ugly.
As she reached home, the four kids surrounded her instantly.
To prevent them from feeling jealous, she hugged and kissed each of them.
As she walked upstairs to her room, she noticed someone following her.
“Xavian?’
“Mommy, there’s something I want to tell you.” Xavian furrowed his brows. “It is about the footage of the black market…”
