Chapter 832 Nothing Could Stand In Her Way
Only after the five children were sent away by Justin’s subordinates did Natalie stagger to her feet.
“Did you send the kids away just so you could see Samuel?” inquired Justin.
“Isn’t that obvious?” Natalie asked sarcastically in response.
“You’re severely injured. You need to rest.” Justin walked up to Natalie, blocking her way. “I’ve heard everything from Billy. You were the one who asked him to prepare those explosives back there. What were you thinking? You knew the danger of mixing so many explosives at the same time. Not only did you risk your own life, but you’re also not willing to rest well to recuperate. When Samuel wakes up and finds out about all this, he will skin Billy and me alive!”
After what had happened, Justin’s respect for Natalie skyrocketed.
Back in Livingsfill, he already knew that Natalie was not an ordinary woman, yet when he saw the extent she was willing to go to for Samuel, he had a newfound admiration for her.
Justin had originally thought that his reasonings would be sufficient to make Natalie think rationally and stay in bed to rest.
However, what Natalie said next made him dumbfounded.
“So what if you and Billy are skinned alive? What has that got anything to do with me?” Natalie asked calmly and dismissively. “I just want to go see him.”
Justin was rendered speechless.
His respect for her turned up a notch. Such a stubborn and tough woman. Truly a perfect match for Samuel!
“Ms. Nichols, Samuel is recovering as well. Wouldn’t it be better for the two of you to meet when you are feeling better?” Once again, Justin tried to reason with Natalie.
“Samuel isn’t awake yet.”
“How… how do you…” Natalie had hit the nail on the head, taking Justin by surprise.
“If Samuel were awake, he would be here by my side,” commented Natalie in a firm manner. “He should still be unconscious. I want to stay by his side. If he needs to recover, I’ll walk the path of recovery with him. When he opens his eyes, I hope to be the first person he sees.”
Natalie was still frail due to her injuries. Even so, her obsidian, almond-shaped eyes radiated with stubborn determination.
Out of all the different women Justin had encountered, he was certain that it was the first time he had seen such a look in a woman’s expression.
Knowing that nothing could stand in her way, Justin gave up trying to convince her to stay and gave Natalie the number of the ward Samuel was in.
Natalie lifted her covers. Sucking in a sharp breath, she clenched her jaw as she stood up, ignoring the pain all over her body, and made her way to Samuel’s ward.
Without knocking, Natalie pushed the door open and entered the ward.
Upon entering the ward, she was immediately greeted with the sight of Luna in a light blue dress. The latter was wiping Samuel’s lips with a cotton bud.
Turning her gaze to Samuel, Natalie let out a breath of relief. Samuel no longer had white hair, but rather, he was once again the Samuel she was familiar with.
“Ms. Nichols…” Luna stood up from the chair she was sitting in and turned to look at Natalie. “Your health is not in optimum condition. I can take care of Mr. Samuel for the time being. You should return to your ward and rest.”
Natalie eyed Luna up and down but had no intention of leaving.
In truth, she did not care who Luna was.
Whether Luna was merely a responsible doctor or someone with hidden agendas, Natalie considered Samuel hers, and she would never let anyone else have him.
“Indeed, I’m not in the best shape right now, but I want to be here for him.” Natalie looked Luna in the eye and stated calmly, “There’s no need to worry for me, Ms. Garcia.”
Luna balled her hands into fists subtly before unclenching them shortly.
“All right. In that case, I’ll be on my way.”
After nodding goodbye, Luna left the ward.
Just then, Steven arrived with dinner. As he made his way to the wards, he noticed Luna in the corridor with reddened eyes.
“What are you doing out here?” Steven asked as he made his way to Luna.
“Ms. Nichols is awake. She’s inside taking care of Mr. Samuel.” Luna blinked her tears away and took a deep breath. “There’s no need for me here anymore. Goodbye, Mr. Steven.”
