A Cue For Happiness Chapter 105

Chapter 105 Sorry For Being Late

The doctor fell silent for a moment.

This girl is probably only in her twenties. I wonder what kind of trauma she has experienced to dismiss her current pain with such ease…

Samuel curled his fists as he stared at Natalie’s bloodied arm.

Three cuts… God knows how long these three scars will remain on her arm. Hell, they might not ever heal. For every wound and pain inflicted on Natalie, I will make sure to return the favor to those two scumbags by the millions! They’ll regret ever crossing me, this I swear.

The doctor eventually fixed Natalie up and gave her some advice on caring for her stitches. He then turned to Samuel and reminded, “Please take good care of your girlfriend.”

“Doctor, you’ve misunderstood. He’s not-”

Before Natalie could finish speaking, Samuel hopped in to interject, “I will. Thank you so much, doctor.”

He then carried her out of the emergency room and into a private ward as if they were a loving couple.

Along the way, Natalie emphasized aloud, “I am not your girlfriend.”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Since you’re aware that we aren’t a couple, why didn’t you correct the doctor earlier?”

At that, Samuel stopped in his steps to gaze adoringly at Natalie’s face. “Because you will eventually become my woman. I am merely exercising my rights early.”

“You-” Natalie shot him a glare.

“Don’t use your deal with Yara as an excuse to avoid me.” Samuel locked eyes with her and added in a firm tone, “No one can threaten me except you. You’re the one person who has a hold on me.”

This man is so charming whenever he gets serious like this…

Meanwhile, whispers of nurses and patients filled every hospital ward.

“That woman is average-looking, yet she’s lucky enough to get carried in the arms of that drop-dead gorgeous man? I envy her!”

“Hmph. I bet that lady is wealthy and probably obsessed with handsome men. Maybe she’s paying him to treat her so well!”

“Eep! I want a drool-worthy hunk to carry me in bridal style too!”

“Did you see how gentle he is with her? Ugh, my husband doesn’t even treat me with half as much as that man does to her!”

It was though a stormy cloud formed above Natalie as she listened to the women’s envy for her and admiration toward Samuel.

These women are out of their minds! I am not as hideous as they make me out to be! Besides, Samuel is obsessed with me and won’t let me leave his life at all. I can’t get rid of him even if I want to!

Natalie was so mad that her cheeks reddened and puffed up.

At that sight, an amused chuckle rumbled from Samuel’s chest while he carried Natalie over to the bed in her private ward.

“Quit acting so tough all the time.” Samuel’s arms snaked past Natalie’s sides and forced her into an embrace. He continued, “You were obviously worried about Sophia, so much so that you were willing to risk your life for her.”

At once, Natalie’s heartbeat skyrocketed from feeling his hot breath tickling against her skin.

She quickly averted her gaze to look elsewhere.

“So what?” She muttered. “I’m only worried about Sophia because I love her and wanted to save her life out of my own free will. It has nothing to do with you, so please stop being nice to me out of gratitude. I don’t need or want any form of compensation from you.”

Deep down, Natalie felt she had acted brashly by endangering her life to save Sophia.

I have children of my own too. If those men actually killed me, what would happen to my kids? How will they live without their mother? Things would have taken an extreme turn if Samuel hadn’t arrived in time to rescue me… That’s strange. I wasn’t even worried about my life when Sophia was in danger. For some reason, my instincts told me I needed to protect her. That feeling earlier… It was like I would rather have ten deep cuts on my body than let Sophia suffer from even the slightest scratch. Weird…

“I’m sorry…” Samuel’s sincere gaze locked on Natalie from a close distance.

“What do you mean?” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“I was too late,” Samuel murmured. “If I had just arrived even a minute earlier, you would not have to suffer from so much pain.”

Natalie’s heart skipped a beat.

Elsewhere, Yandel sought the help of Jerome but quickly caught wind of Natalie’s injury.

Jerome shot a grim look at Yandel as he questioned the latter, “What exactly is Natalie’s relationship with that little girl? Natalie is normally someone who places her safety first and foremost, so why did she risk her life for a girl that she barely knows?”
