Chapter 443: Chapter 444

Chapter 444 Is That Not Enough Zayden had a mixed emotion upon hearing what she said.

“How can I help you then?” Zayden asked in a coarse voice.

“Don’t repeat the same mistakes I’ve made, Zayden.” Scarlett lowered her eyes, and tears started rolling down her cheeks.

“There’ll always be people more powerful and capable than us. The heyday of the Hamiltons is over, and we should not live in its past glory anymore.”

She continued, “I was too silly to believe Samuel was charmed by that woman. But after witnessing her medical skills, I know she’s not just a plain jane.”

“You’re the only direct male heir to the Hamilton family, Zayden. You need to stop behaving like how you did in the past and think of ways to restore our family to its former glory. Perhaps I could stop acting crazy if the Hamilton family could rise from the ashes.”

Scarlett regretted her action. She should not have listened to Yara’s instigation and challenged the love of Samuel’s life.

However, it was too late for regrets. There was no use crying over spilled milk.

Zayden nodded steadily. “I will learn from Grandpa earnestly, and I’ll protect you and the Hamilton family!”

“I’ll stay by your side to take care of you!” Tears welled up in Scarlett’s eyes.

The two siblings seemed to have turned over a new leaf after the birthday party.

But they had learned their lesson after paying a hefty price.

Meanwhile, Samuel and Natalie were discharged from the hospital a few days later.

On the day of discharge, a crowd gathered around Natalie in her ward.

Jason, Hannah, Yana, Hans, Steven, Yandel, Ross, and Lia were all there, and they filled the ward with bouquets of fresh flowers.

The way these people expressed their concern had warmed Natalie’s heart.

In the past, she used to struggle to survive all on her own, but now, she had a group of friends who cared for her as much as she cared for them.

“Thanks for picking us up from the hospital,” Natalie said with a grin. “I’ll buy you guys dinner later.”

Everyone was on board with her suggestion.

Samuel and Natalie walked behind them when they were leaving the hospital.

Natalie gently pulled Samuel’s sleeve and asked, “You don’t have to entertain us if you’re busy at work. Yana and the rest are my friends anyway. I can keep them company tonight.”

Samuel knitted his brows. “Are you trying to chase me away?”

“No, that’s not what I meant.” Natalie instantly shook her head. “I don’t want you to put your work on the back burner. Besides, I’m afraid you might feel awkward being around my friends.”

“I can finish my work tomorrow.” Samuel tickled her nose with his finger. “And I’m pleased to have this opportunity to get to know your close friends. I wouldn’t feel awkward because I know you’re around,” Samuel said in his deep and sensuous voice.

His remark instantly tickled her heart. “You’re such a sweet talker!”

“Any reward for me?” Samuel raised his brows, and a corner of his lips quirked up.

“Stop it!” Natalie’s cheek blushed instantly. “You’ve already enjoyed your reward in the last few days.”

In the last few days, Samuel had constantly wanted to engage in physical intimacy with Natalie even when Billy was guarding outside the ward.

Natalie thought Samuel would understand her hint, but Samuel did not give in. He pinched her cheek and said, “I want more!”

What the hell? What else does he want from me?

Natalie got a little pissed off. She tried to pull her hand away from his grip.
