Chapter 805 Be With You Everywhere
Natalie shook her head and said gently, “I won’t give Samuel such a chance. I’ve prescribed a concoction and let him consume it just now. Once the medicine kicks in, he will fall into a deep sleep for about five days.”
Overwhelmed with mixed feelings, Steven said, “That’s good. Otherwise, I think Sam’s pride would have killed him. Anyway, what should we do next? After all, we don’t have enough clues to look for the antidote.”
Suddenly, a glow flashed past Natalie’s eyes. “Justin, Steven, we shall split into two groups. I’ll figure out the clues about the moon and secret compartment. In the meantime, you two can look for suspicious buildings northward. Remember that time is of the essence. As such, we can’t afford to waste even a second!”
When Natalie was speaking, her eyes had turned bloodshot. Since Samuel was in danger after he saved Natalie, Justin and Steven knew she felt terrible deep down. After looking at Natalie, they exchanged glances and said, “Natalie, how do you feel now? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Natalie clenched her fists so hard that her nails dug into the flesh of her palms, yet she felt no pain.
“Samuel has been protecting me all the while. Hence, now is the time for me to do the same for him.”
After Justin and Steven left, Natalie went to the bedroom and looked at Samuel, who was in a deep slumber. At that moment, her heart couldn’t help but clench in pain.
The effect of the medicine will last for five days.
It was a coincidence that Natalie prescribed the medicine for Samuel to fall into a deep slumber for five days.
If Natalie couldn’t find the antidote for Samuel, he would die in his sleep five days later.
“Samuel, wait for me.” Caressing Samuel’s nose with her finger, Natalie murmured, “If I can’t save you, I’ll be there to keep you company. No worries. Wherever you go, I will go with you.”
With that, Natalie left the room.
She was unaware that after she said the words from the bottom of her heart, a tear escaped the man’s eyes and streamed down his face.
At midnight, Zophie and Gale just finished having sex in a remote inn. Then, Gale took out a cigarette and began smoking.
The tobacco scent triggered Zophie’s addiction, driving her to snatch the cigarette from Gale.
While Zophie was smoking, Gale said with a grin, “Well, you still have the habit of snatching someone else’s cigarette.”
“I’m too lazy to use a lighter.” After taking a puff from the cigarette, Zophie continued, “I thought the girl escaped because I had tough luck. However, I then heard that Benjamin escaped from you. Now I understand why King was that pissed off.”
Gale said calmly, “We’ll get Benjamin and the girl sooner or later.”
“What makes you so confident about it?” Zophie asked gleefully.
Gale put his hand around Zophie’s neck and said, “I’m not confident in myself but King. After all, we are King’s adopted children and know how resourceful he is. Have you ever seen him miscalculated anything?”
After giving it some thought, Zophie nodded in agreement. “King has never failed in anything that he wanted to do.”
Gale took out another cigarette and light it up casually. Then, he said, “However—”
“What is it?”
Gale continued, “A woman whom we used to think of as a nobody, foiled King’s plans several times. I have a bad feeling that she might upend King’s plans.”
As soon as Gale finished, Zophie chuckled. “Gale, are you kidding me? We know what kind of a man King is. How can a woman ever upend his plans? How absurd!”
“Maybe you’re right.”
Gale took another puff, hoping to get rid of the negative thought.
