Chapter 1008
Samuel cleared his throat and looked displeased.
Lia would be an idiot if she still could not understand what Samuel meant. Thus, she had no choice but
to let go of Natalie.
However, she had to admit that it felt comfortable hugging Natalie. She smelled nice and was soft to
the touch. Therefore, if Samuel had not stopped Lia, she would be reluctant to let Natalie go.
Natalie did not say anything, but she glared at Samuel with a tinge of annoyance.
Why is he even more possessive after getting married? I was hugging a woman. Why does he look so
jealous?
Samuel saw Natalie's annoyed expression and softened his expression instantly. He pulled her into his
embrace and said to Yandel and Lia, âNat is the love of my life. I will never disappoint her for the rest of
my limited life and will do my best to cherish her. I will make sure that she has happiness and live
freely.â
For... I don't have much time left.
Yandel and Lia were unaware of the poison in Samuel's body. They thought he was assuring them,
who were like a family to her, that he would treat her well.
On the other hand, pain flashed briefly in Natalie's eyes as she listened to Samuel.
âSamuel, since you have finished touring my workplace, I need to get back to work soon.â Natalie
looked at Samuel and continued, âLet me walk you to the door.â
âSure.â Samuel nodded gently.
Then, Natalie walked to the company entrance with Samuel.
After hesitating for a long time, Natalie stopped holding back and said, âSamuel, you mustn't say
something so depressing!â
âWhat did I say that sounded depressing?â Samuel looked at Natalie affectionately and smoothened
her windswept fringe.
âYou said things such as how limited life is, that you only have half a year. If you die and others...â
Natalie's chest felt constricted. The pleasant mood from before had disappeared. Instead, turbulent
emotions appeared in her almond-shaped eyes.
Then, Natalie continued, âI know your condition seems hopeless, and even I cannot deal with the toxins
in your body. However, it does not mean I have given up. I will keep looking for ways to cure you, and I
won't give up even at the final minute. Therefore, I hope you don't give up on yourself! You are now my
husband and the father of my five children. I won't allow you to forfeit and speak as if you are ready to
leave us.â
Samuel looked at the woman before him.
The sunlight shone on her delicate face. Her eyes glittered slightly with tears. It was a heartbreaking
sight.
Even as the breeze fluttered her hair, she remained firm with undefeatable determination and
stubbornness.
At that moment, Samuel's heart was like a sponge soaked in warm water. It felt full and warm.
He had been suffering from the poison since he was young. No one else could understand the
excruciating pain he had to go through whenever something triggered the effects of the poison.
When he was pretending to be Xander to stay by Natalie's side, he had considered giving up and was
indifferent to Luna's treatment plan. He lived with the assumption that he had only half a year left.
However, Natalie's words made him reconsider his purpose of living.
Meanwhile, Natalie saw the frown on Samuel's brow and asked softly, âSamuel, can you bear to leave
me behind?â
âNo, I can't,â Samuel answered without hesitation.
âI know we have immense obstacles before us. However, it took me a long time to learn to trust and
love you, so I can't bear to give you up so soon.â Natalie stood on tiptoes and kissed his neck.
âGod gifted you to me. I will never let you go without putting up a fight, even if God wishes to take you
away. Therefore, please promise me that you won't give up on life no matter what happens! You must
persevere and continue living, no matter how difficult. If we persist, we might have a chance to turn this
around.â Natalie implored.
