Chapter 959 Swear
Jesper was aware that it was not his place for him to say some things as a subordinate. Nevertheless, if he did not tell Natalie in Samuel’s stead, he was afraid she would never know everything Samuel had done for her.
Naturally, Mr. Bowers is reluctant to share his difficulties, but at the same time, he cannot bear to see Ms. Nichols suffer.
“After the allergic incident was exposed last night, Mr. York guessed you would come to the hospital, so he came to make some necessary arrangements in advance. He stayed inside the ward after you were hurt. It was also Mr. York who summoned the doctor when he realized you suffered from a high-grade fever due to your inflamed wound in the middle of the night.
He had been keeping you company the whole night without getting any rest. Mr. York has his reason for putting on the mask. He does not harbor any ill intention toward you. He’s just trying to help you as much as he can…”
Natalie was rendered speechless after listening to Jesper.
Although she was not wholly oblivious to the things Xander had done for her, hearing the detailed account from a third person at that moment made her realize just how much he had done for her in silence.
Reminiscing on how she treated him all along, she felt she had indeed been behaving too harshly.
Natalie slowly looked up and expressed her sincere gratitude, “Thank you for telling me that.”
“No problem.” Jesper nodded firmly. “I’ll bring you to Yvette’s ward then.”
After Jesper exchanged a few words with the bodyguards on duty at the VIP zone, they allowed Natalie to enter. She managed to arrive at Yvette’s ward without a hitch.
She knocked, pushed the door open, and entered.
Completely different from last night’s messy and cluttered condition, the room had been properly cleaned up today. All the smashed vases were replaced with new ones and decorated with stalks of sunflower, the flower which symbolized vigor.
Yvette was resting in a half-sitting position inside the room. She leaned against a pillow behind her back, and her eyes were fixed intently on the paper in her hands.
That paper was the one left behind by Natalie last night.
“It’s you!” Yvette’s eyes shone when she saw Natalie from the corner of her eyes. “The parts affected by the allergic reaction on my body are no longer warm and itchy. The doctor told me my allergy was miraculously cured, and I will recover fully after resting for another two days. Moreover, there will not be any scars on my skin. You are the person who made these possible, right?”
Yvette was a devoted actor. She experienced mood swings because she thought her neck and face would be scarred, which would spell the end of her acting career.
Her emotions were easy to read when she calmed down because they were written all over her face.
“That’s me.” Natalie nodded.
“I guessed it was you.”
Yvette got off the bed, walked up to Natalie, and held the latter’s hands.
“I’m sorry. I reacted so fiercely to you last night when you came to treat my allergy.” Yvette wore an apologetic look. “I am not that short-tempered usually. Last night, I was reminded that I could no longer resume my acting career and perform before the big screen. That’s why I broke down emotionally. I…”
Yvette paused briefly before asking with a smile, “What’s your name? Which hospital are you from? You look so young. Why are you more skilled than those veteran physicians?”
Natalie stared into Yvette’s eyes before she said solemnly, “Ms. Snyder, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Natalie Nichols, and I am the chairwoman of Dream Corporation.”
Yvette immediately let go of Natalie’s hands as a hint of astonishment flashed across her eyes when she heard the latter mention Dream Corporation.
“You are Dream Corporation’s chairwoman?”
“Yes.”
“The culprit behind my allergic incident?” Yvette took a few steps back and questioned Natalie, “You caused me to suffer from the allergy and ruined my appearance. Then, you are also the one to treat my condition. What is actually going on?”
Natalie’s eyes glinted as she answered, “Ms. Snyder, I can swear on my life that Dream Company is not the culprit behind your allergy. However, I cannot deny Dream Corporation has its shortcomings, leading to the allergic reaction you developed. I can only promise you that I will thoroughly investigate this matter and provide you with an explanation!”
