Chapter 493
The nurse had recently given Natalie everything that Draco had been carrying with him, including his cell phone.
Natalie picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID – it was Zuri Salazar.
Natalie gazed at Brandon.
As soon as she saw Brandon nod, Natalie answered the phone.
“Hello?”
“Draco! What the hell is wrong with you?! How many times did I call you? Why didn’t you answer till now?”
On the phone, the woman sounded really irritated.
Natalie clarified, “It’s not Draco. This is Natalie, his assistant designer. How may I assist you?”
For a moment, the woman was speechless.
When she had regained her composure, she remarked in a calm tone, “I’m Zuri, the main organizer of this year’s Iridescent Show. Have you got Draco there with you right now? Give the phone to him.”
Zuri had been in contact with Draco since she started preparing for the show.
Earlier that day, she learned that Draco had boarded the aircraft.
Zuri had her assistant go pick up Draco from the airport, but her employee never returned with him.
Zuri sent a message inquiring about Draco’s whereabouts.
Draco, though, did not respond.
As Zuri watched the evening news, she discovered that Draco’s flight had been canceled.
She tried to call Draco to find out what was going on, but he never picked up.
She was the show’s main organizer, it turned out.
After realizing that, Natalie said, “No worries here; Mr. Wesley is doing great. It’s just a mere accident. We need some time to handle the situation.”
Natalie refrained from mentioning Draco’s poisoning.
“What is Draco up to, anyway? Do you know that I have placed Draco in a pivotal role in the show? All of the models and settings are in place, and he’s going to open the show for us! If Draco does not show up, we will suffer a significant loss!”
Zuri’s statements were incisive, and her strength and decisiveness were evident.
In a state of helplessness, Natalie started to explain, but Zuri cut her off.
“Tomorrow morning, the show will begin! Tell me! What is it going to be? Will Draco be there or not?”
Natalie was at a loss as to how to respond. She had to wait for Draco to wake up before he could decide what they should do.
When she was in a quandary, a nurse hurried over in a hurry.
“Are you Natalie? Draco Wesley has awoken and wishes to see you. Let’s go!”
Natalie was thrown off to some extent. She agreed as soon as she understood what the nurse had just said.
Concurrently, she reassured Zuri over the phone, “Have no fear, Miss Salazar. I will go see Mr. Wesley right now. Let me verify that and get back to you in an hour.”
Hearing that she would get an answer soon, Zuri stopped making things difficult for Natalie.
In a resolute tone, she stated, “Alright, you seem like a no-nonsense type of individual. You have exactly an hour! To put it bluntly, if you don’t phone me in the next hour, I’m going to permanently eliminate the W Marks from the Iridescent Show.”
Right after Natalie hung up the phone, she stated to Brandon, “I need to see Mr. Wesley. l’ll be back in no time.”
Brandon didn’t have to make a big deal out of it. He merely shrugged and replied, “Go ahead.”
Brandon and Frank had to wait outside while Natalie went inside the ward to see Draco.
Brandon had an excellent view of the ward activity through the glass window.
His placid visage began to show signs of gloom.
Frank grinned meaningfully at observing Brandon waiting outside the door with a sad face.
He had no idea that Brandon, who had always been so aloof and unfeeling, could eventually turn into such a jealous guy.
Frank was particularly taken aback by the fact that among his close pals, the ice-cold Brandon and the playboy Garrett were the first two to get married.
“Quit taking things so seriously. Without blinking, your eyes will get exhausted.”
Frank sighed heavily and whispered in Brandon’s ear, “By the way, Brandon, do you regret asking me to save Draco?”
Brandon was gazing intently at the ward and Frank was smugly standing close by.
“Draco is not my rival in love,” Brandon told Frank, pushing him away.
He wasn’t deserving of such an honor.
No one could be his rival in love. He knew he was the only one in Natalie’s heart.
“Natalie only sees Draco as her mentor.”
Brandon felt much more at ease as he considered this.
Behind him, Frank put a hand over his mouth to hide his chuckle.
Was Brandon trying to make himself feel better? “Have you watched any movies or read any novels? There are many heartfelt love stories between teachers and students,” Frank said as he observed Brandon’s facial expression.
“And I can tell that it matters to you how Draco and Natalie see each other.”
That struck a nerve, but Brandon wouldn’t admit it.
“Is it appropriate for you, a doctor, to say these things?”
Brandon said in a harsh tone, his face darkening.
“Doctors are also human beings. It is normal to be a little curious,”
Frank said as he shrugged his shoulders.
