Chapter 1114 Useless

Bastien placed Natalie gently on the hospital bed as if he was handling a precious treasure. He then turned to the physician and uttered slowly, “I think she’s severely injured. Treat her using the latest treatment and give her the best medicine. Make sure she recovers completely.”

The experts were stunned by what they heard. Could she be his future wife? If not, why would Prince Jonathan carry her all the way here in his arms?

“Yes, of course. I’ll do my best to treat this lady.” “Thank you.”

Bastien showed no signs of leaving the room even when the physician was about to begin the treatment. The latter asked awkwardly, “Prince Jonathan, I’m going to treat this lady now. Would you like to get some rest in the VIP lounge first?”

“It’s fine,” Bastien replied plainly. “But…” The physician felt a little overwhelmed. After all, he had never encountered such a situation in his many years of treating the royal family.

Noting the physician’s concern, Bastien uttered, “You can cover with a screen. I’m just not going anywhere. I’m going to stay here to keep Natalie company.”

It took several seconds for the physician to come to his senses. He instructed his assistant to open the screen before examining and treating Natalie.

Outside the ward, some nurses began gossiping in the corridor. “That patient is so lucky to be carried by Prince Jonathan in his arms. I’d give up ten years of my life to experience that.”

“There you go daydreaming again. Besides, you think ten years is enough? You must be delusional. You’ll need to give up at least thirty years.”

“Who’s that lady anyway? I don’t think I’ve seen her in the royal news before.” “Is she a commoner? Oh my goodness. A commoner and a prince? How romantic!” All of them spoke softly; they did not sound as if they were chattering.

However, Joseph, who was walking past, overheard them. “Stop gossiping and do your jobs properly! If any of you breathes a word about this outside the hospital, I’m going to arrest you and lock you up in prison for defaming the royal family.”

His expression was frosty, and the hostility in his tone was palpable. It frightened the nurses so much that they scurried off and returned to their positions.

Just then, Jerome stepped into the hospital in his soiled clothes. Spotting Jerome, Joseph immediately stretched out his arm to stop him. “Please hold on, Major General Sutton.”

“What is it? You’re a lower-rank officer. Do you think you have the right to tell me what to do just because you’re on the prince’s side?” Jerome commented with a cynical smile, his eyes glinting dangerously.

Joseph did not expect Jerome to speak so boldly. However, he quickly recollected himself and said, “Of course I’m not qualified to tell you what to do, but this is Prince Jonathan’s orders. He knows how hard you’ve worked in the operation this time, so he hopes you can get some proper rest. Meanwhile, he can handle the others.”

Jerome smirked. “There’s no need for that. I don’t need to rest. Besides, it’s best that I personally handle the others.”

Unwilling to give in, Joseph uttered, “Major General Sutton, Prince Jonathan has always held you in high regard. You’re able to hold the position of a major general at such a young age because Prince Jonathan never hesitated to promote you. Please don’t forget his kindness toward you just because of one person…”

“I don’t need his kindness. I have to take this person away today.” Jerome’s gaze was incredibly frosty.

Natalie was his motivation to climb up the ladder of power throughout the years.

Being an ordinary soldier is more than enough to protect the country. Military ranks are useless. What’s the point of being a major general if I can’t even protect her?
