Chapter 1114 Useless Bastien placed Natalie gently on the hospital bed as if he was handling a precious treasure. He then turned to the physician and uttered slowly, âI think sheâs severely injured. Treat her using the latest treatment and give her the best medicine. Make sure she recovers completely.â
The experts were stunned by what they heard. Could she be his future wife? If not, why would Prince Jonathan carry her all the way here in his arms?
âYes, of course. Iâll do my best to treat this lady.â âThank you.â
Bastien showed no signs of leaving the room even when the physician was about to begin the treatment. The latter asked awkwardly, âPrince Jonathan, Iâm going to treat this lady now. Would you like to get some rest in the VIP lounge first?â
âItâs fine,â Bastien replied plainly. âButâ¦â The physician felt a little overwhelmed. After all, he had never encountered such a situation in his many years of treating the royal family.
Noting the physicianâs concern, Bastien uttered, âYou can cover with a screen. Iâm just not going anywhere. Iâm going to stay here to keep Natalie company.â
It took several seconds for the physician to come to his senses. He instructed his assistant to open the screen before examining and treating Natalie.
Outside the ward, some nurses began gossiping in the corridor. âThat patient is so lucky to be carried by Prince Jonathan in his arms. Iâd give up ten years of my life to experience that.â
âThere you go daydreaming again. Besides, you think ten years is enough? You must be delusional.
Youâll need to give up at least thirty years.â
âWhoâs that lady anyway? I donât think Iâve seen her in the royal news before.â âIs she a commoner? Oh my goodness. A commoner and a prince? How romantic!â All of them spoke softly; they did not sound as if they were chattering.
However, Joseph, who was walking past, overheard them. âStop gossiping and do your jobs properly! If any of you breathes a word about this outside the hospital, Iâm going to arrest you and lock you up in prison for defaming the royal family.â
His expression was frosty, and the hostility in his tone was palpable. It frightened the nurses so much that they scurried off and returned to their positions.
Just then, Jerome stepped into the hospital in his soiled clothes. Spotting Jerome, Joseph immediately stretched out his arm to stop him. âPlease hold on, Major General Sutton.â
âWhat is it? Youâre a lower-rank officer. Do you think you have the right to tell me what to do just because youâre on the princeâs side?â Jerome commented with a cynical smile, his eyes glinting dangerously.
Joseph did not expect Jerome to speak so boldly. However, he quickly recollected himself and said, âOf course Iâm not qualified to tell you what to do, but this is Prince Jonathanâs orders. He knows how hard youâve worked in the operation this time, so he hopes you can get some proper rest. Meanwhile, he can handle the others.â
Jerome smirked. âThereâs no need for that. I donât need to rest. Besides, itâs best that I personally handle the others.â
Unwilling to give in, Joseph uttered, âMajor General Sutton, Prince Jonathan has always held you in high regard. Youâre able to hold the position of a major general at such a young age because Prince Jonathan never hesitated to promote you. Please donât forget his kindness toward you just because of one personâ¦â
âI donât need his kindness. I have to take this person away today.â Jeromeâs gaze was incredibly frosty.
Natalie was his motivation to climb up the ladder of power throughout the years.
Being an ordinary soldier is more than enough to protect the country. Military ranks are useless. Whatâs the point of being a major general if I canât even protect her?
