Chapter 797 What About Me âNo! You only want to use the baby to threaten me, no? Carry her back in from outside the rooftop! Iâll do as you say! Iâll follow your orders to the letter!â Natalie shouted at Yara.
Hearing that, Yara burst into laughter.
âIn that case, do as I say obediently! As long as you follow my instructions, this baby will live!â
The wind on the rooftop continued blowing, whistling through the air.
Natalie crouched and picked up the syringe Samuel knocked away.
âDo you know what youâre doing, Natalie? What about our five children if you do this? And what about me?â Samuelâs gaze was pinned on her, the chill in his eyes so biting that it was as though his eyes would frost over.
That was the first time Natalie ever saw him so enraged at her. His fury blasted at her full force, making her heart jolt painfully.
She knew that she could appease his wrath by putting down the syringe.
However, she had no right to do that in the present circumstances.
It was because of her that Silas and Hollyâs child was being held hostage by Yara.
She owed them, so she must resolve all this while ensuring that the baby didnât suffer a single scratch.
Samuelâs face was stretched taut, and he snapped in a raspy voice, âStop, Natalie! Iâm ordering you to stop. Never mind if the baby dies. Iâll give Uncle Silas an explanation. But I wonât allow you to risk your life! Do you understand me?â
Upon hearing that, Natalie gaped at him. âHow could you say such a thing?â
âItâs you who donât understand how important your life is to me even now. If anything happens to you, whatâs the point even if everyone in this world is still alive? Itâs just a child! Even if Holly canât have any more children, thereâll naturally be other women whoâll bear children for my uncle! Itâs best for the child to die here!â Samuelâs ebony eyes were as cold as ice.
Sheer disappointment flashed across Natalieâs eyes, and she muttered, âI never knew that such is your thought. You love me, but you never understood me.â
Seeing that Natalie and Samuel seemed to be having a conflict of some kind, Yara frowned in displeasure and snarled, âStop dawdling over there, Natalie! Iâm going to do a countdown of ten. If you donât do as I said, this baby is really going to die!â
âTen.â
âNine.â
âEight.â
She started counting backwards at the top of her lungs.
Blinking away the tears in her eyes, Natalie stated firmly, âIâm sorry, Samuel. Please take care of our four children and Yumi. This is a debt I owe Holly, so I must repay it. And it can only be me repaying the debt!â
As her voice rang out, she jabbed the syringe into her arm.
Alas, Samuel acted faster than her. He thrust his arm over hers. Consequently, the tip of the needle pierced his arm. The syringe seemingly had a special device that could sense penetration into the skin, for the blue liquid within instantly streamed into Samuelâs body.
âSamuel!â Natalie exclaimed at once.
Yara, on the other hand, thought that her plan was coming to fruition when she suddenly saw Samuel use such a method to protect Natalie. Such great shock flooded her that her heart lurched.
I only wanted Natalie to experience pain! Never had it crossed my mind to hurt Samuel! I love him! I only ever targeted her, but I had never thought of harming a hair on his head!
âSamuel!â she cried out in panic.
Right then, she no longer had the presence of mind to care about the baby. In fact, she was about to release her hold on the baby. Fortunately, Justin had long since been waiting for his opportunity. Seizing her moment of inattention, he swiftly snatched the baby away from her.
At the same time, he knocked her out with a blow to the back of her head to prevent her from sabotaging things again.
Hugging Samuel, Natalie hastily pulled the syringe out of his arm. âY-Youâre out of your mind, Samuel! Youâre crazy!â
