Chapter 954 Angry At Himself Natalie took her pulse again, and she was relieved when she found Yvette stable. After all, Iâm the reason Yvette is in this situation. If she were to have permanent scars because of the allergy and lose her career, thatâs something money canât fix. I owe her that much. Now, Iâve already paid half of my debt.
Natalie stood up and started to remove the crystal needles from the acupoints one after another.
The crystal needles were the Bayersâ family heirloom. After she removed the needles, they returned to their silvery-white color again.
After keeping the crystal needles away, Natalie took out a bottle of snow cream she made and applied some to Yvetteâs allergic spots. She then left the rest of the cream on the bedside table. While she was at it, she wrote a note and put it under the bottle before leaving.
The moment Natalie left Yvetteâs ward, she saw a familiar figure.
That man was none other than Xander. He was fully armed and all covered up.
âYouâve been here all along?â Natalie murmured.
âYes.â The man nodded and asked, âHow is everything?â
âIâve already treated Yvetteâs allergy, and sheâll fully recover in a few daysâ time. The itchy spots she had before this wonât leave scars behind,â Natalie explained in a serious tone.
The man then narrowed his eyes and asked, âDid I ask about Yvette?â
âHuh?â Natalie was stunned.
The man said in a hoarse voice, âI was asking about you. How about your leg? Did the wound open up again?â
Natalie didnât expect the man to care about her instead of Yvette, and she felt touched. However, she was also overwhelmed by an inexplicable wave of complicated feelings.
âYou donât have to care about me.â Natalie didnât want to dwell on those feelings, and she purposely averted her gaze.
An unpleasant feeling stuffed up Samuelâs chest as well. âIf you can take good care of yourself, I wouldnât need to be concerned.
Unfortunately, you havenât done that, so donât blame me for intervening.â
As soon as those words fell, Samuel bent down and put his strong arm behind Natalieâs legs before lifting her up domineeringly.
âLet go of me!â she exclaimed.
âIâm not letting go.â
Natalie tried to struggle her way out of Samuelâs arms.
Alas, even if she wasnât injured, there was no way she could overcome Samuelâs strength.
âLet go of me, Xander!â
Samuel replied impatiently, âI wonât. If I were you, I would rather just stay still and not fight back. After all, itâs not like youâre getting out of this. Wouldnât you only hurt yourself the more you try to resist?â
âYou!â
Underneath the mask and goggles, Samuel was pursing his lips.
He was also in a bad mood because he was angry at the fact that Natalie had once again risked her life doing things she thought were right when he wasnât around.
Despite how angry he was with Natalie, he was more pissed off at himself.
Even though Iâm right in front of her, I canât even show her my face. I have no choice but to help her sneakily. I can solve all the problems just by taking off my mask and goggles. However, I canât! I canât bring myself to do that. I canât give her hope. Once Iâve done that, what am I supposed to do half a year later? What is she supposed to do by then?
Samuel hugged her tight and once again brought her into the empty ward.
Without saying a word in advance, he rolled up her trousers and saw blood flowing out of the part that had just been sewn.
Natalie saw it as well, but she was unfazed. If she was given another chance, even if she knew the sutures would give way, she would still choose to treat Yvette with her crystal needles.
At the same time, Samuelâs heart ached when he saw the blood on the wound.
