Chapter 834 Sufferings

Meanwhile, inside the ward, Natalie took a seat next to Samuel. Her almond-shaped eyes did not leave Samuel, who was in a deep sleep.

Thank goodness!

The antidote seems to be working. The poison seems to have left his body. Everything is turning for the better now.

Even though her body was still aching in pain, it did nothing to deter the corner of her lips from curling upwards into a blissful smile.

In a childlike manner, Natalie spread Samuel’s hand open and placed her fist in his palm before wrapping his fingers around her hand, just as how Samuel would hold her hand when he was conscious.

“Wake up soon, Samuel. I’m waiting for you!” Natalie’s smile reached her eyes, making them sparkle brighter than the stars in the night sky.

Nevertheless, Samuel did not respond.

Even so, Natalie was still filled with joy to be able to stay by his side through the night.

If she got tired or bored, she would use her arm as a pillow and rest her head on it by the edge of the bed.

Peering through the window outside the ward, Steven and Justin were moved by the scene they witnessed.

“She’s not going to have a good sleep like this. I should figure out a way to relocate her to the room next door,” suggested Steven.

“Give it up, man.” Justin crossed his arms in front of his chest with an eyebrow raised. “Even if you turn the room next door into a six-star hotel, it would still not be able to convince her to leave his side. You saw how huge the explosion was from the news. This woman would go through hell to stay with Samuel.”

“That’s true.”

After the exchange, Justin and Steven fell silent. Nevertheless, both of them were on the same track of thoughts.

Their love story is too good to be true. It’s as if they had just walked out of a fairytale.

People like us with a wealthy background could only wish for a relationship as such!

The next morning, as the golden rays of dawn peeked through the curtains, Samuel’s eyelids fluttered.

After adjusting to the brightness of his surroundings, he opened his eyes. Instinctively, his gaze turned to the woman sleeping next to him.

Instantly, he noticed the hospital gown that she was wearing. He could also tell she was skinnier than the last time he saw her.

As the rays hit her bare face, it was a breathtaking sight to Samuel, even if others would not agree.

I… probably almost died because of the poison Yara had injected in me, huh?

I’m only alive now because this silly woman stubbornly got me the antidote so that she could save me… Even if that meant having her life on the line, I assume.

Samuel had no clue as to what had happened those few days.

Nonetheless, it only took him a few glances to conclude that she had endured a lot of sufferings for his sake.

Samuel did not make any noise. All he did was stare quietly at Natalie, who was deep asleep.

His profound yet adoring gaze was like a black hole, taking her in as much as he could.

After a little over an hour, Natalie rubbed her eyes as she stretched herself awake.

When she raised her head, their gazes locked.

Samuel’s eyes were filled with overflowing love and adoration. A gentle smile was playing on his lips. Seeing him awake felt like having old wine on a special occasion.

Natalie’s jaw dropped as she stared at Samuel’s face. “I… I’m not dreaming, am I?” she mumbled.

“Nope.” Samuel’s lips parted before giving her the best answer she could ever ask for.

The next second, Natalie broke into the widest grin she could muster.

“Do you know, Samuel, that I’ve waited for you for a long time?” Amidst her cheerful smile, her eyes began to mist over. “Do you know how excruciating it was waiting for you?”

Of course, Samuel knew. He had no doubt that Natalie had sacrificed a lot for him.

Heartache surged in his chest. Swallowing the lump in his throat, Samuel apologized in a low tone, “I’m sorry.”

“Mm, I forgive you!” Natalie leaned forward and took the initiative to hug Samuel tightly. “Never do something that would harm yourself again. I don’t care even if I’m the one in danger… Just don’t do something like this again!”

Samuel merely hummed in acknowledgment.

Without another word, Samuel wrapped his arms around Natalie’s soft body and pulled her closer to himself, burrowing his face in the nape of her neck.

Natalie was not the only one who had suffered greatly.

For once, Samuel allowed himself to break his strong and cool façade.

Truthfully, he was terrified of saying goodbye as well, especially to Natalie.

Samuel missed Natalie more than words could say. Unable to suppress his desire and need for her, he cupped Natalie’s chin with his fingers and kissed her hard.
