Chapter 479 Examine Your Injury

Natalie knelt down and frowned. “What about the surveillance footage?”

“Mommy, the server of the black market is well hidden, and it is complicated to hack into. I spent a long time and successfully hacked into their surveillance system. I discovered that something was missing from the surveillance that day. That was the part you asked me to delete.”

Xavian’s fists clenched tightly as he mentioned it.

He had put in his blood and sweat to hack into it. Yet, his effort turned out to be in vain.

“Did you mean they didn’t record it? Or someone else had deleted it?” Natalie pressed on the issue.

“I am not sure.” Xavian shook his head. “I tried to recover it, but I failed. And the other party seems to have added anti-directional tracking. I was afraid they would replace me, so I immediately backed out. Mommy, I’m sorry, I screwed up the task you gave me!”

Seeing Xavian’s darkened expression, Natalie rubbed his head.

“Silly boy! There’s no need to apologize. You are brilliant.”

“Really?”

“Of course!” Natalie smiled. “You are my most precious Sweetheart.”

Five years ago, if it were not for them, she would not even have the courage to live on.

At night, Samuel reached home.

The second he opened the bedroom door, he saw Natalie wearing her white robe and reading a book in bed.

The dim light illuminated her tiny face softly, and her hair was scattered around her. Even though she was wearing a mask, beauty was her nature. Her elegance and gentleness grasped Samuel’s heart instantly.

Samuel had seen countless beauties throughout his life.

Nonetheless, no one could compare to Natalie, not even close.

He leaned on the door, staring silently at her.

Natalie’s eyes got tired from reading. She lifted her head and rubbed her eyes. Only then did she realize Samuel was at the door.

“When did you come back? Why didn’t you come in?” Natalie gazed at him with a confused look.

“I just got back not too long ago.”

Samuel unbuttoned his shirt and strolled into the bedroom.

“Are you done with work?”

“Yes.”

Natalie secretly hid her hand under the blanket.

The wound was not evident if one did not observe closely. She figured it would disappear entirely after a few more days.

Samuel approached Natalie. He stretched his arms and hugged her tightly.

He had unbuttoned three or two buttons on his shirt, revealing his Adam’s apple and sexy collarbone. His hair was messy as his masculine scent lingered closely around her.

“Samuel, you’ve been working for the whole day. Why don’t you take a shower first?” Natalie deliberately sent him away as she did not want him to notice her burning face.

“I can shower later. There is no hurry.”

Samuel narrowed his eyes as his hand reached for Natalie’s robe.

Natalie was stunned momentarily. She did not expect Samuel to be so eager.

Natalie thought he would land kisses on her. She closed her eyes. Yet, she did not feel a thing after a long while.

She opened her eyes and realized Samuel was not kissing her. Instead, he scanned her body with a deep gaze.

Natalie was overwhelmed with embarrassment as her body was under his scrutiny.

“What… what are you doing?”

Natalie bit her lip. She wanted to use her hand to block Samuel’s eyes from staring at her.

However, as she recalled the scab on her palms, she did not do so.

“I am examining you for any injury,” Samuel uttered casually.

“How could you do this?” Natalie sounded somehow pissed. “Even criminals would not be examined like this!”
