Chapter 956 Grabbed Tightly Both of the men appeared in her dream at the same time.
Before she could say anything, both of those men disappeared into countless shiny butterflies. In a blink of an eye, the butterflies vanished into thin air.
âSamuel!â
Natalie kept running frantically in the darkness because she wanted to look for Samuel.
Although Xander had saved her many times before, he was nothing more than a savior to her. Samuel, however, was the man she truly loved.
Nevertheless, no matter how hard she tried to run, all she could see was darkness.
All of a sudden, there was a ray of white light, and Natalie picked up her pace, running toward the light.
When she thought she finally found Samuel, she ran toward him and hugged him tightly from behind. âSamuel, where did you go? Why did you lie to me? If you donât explain everything to me, Iâll never forgive you!â
The moment she hugged him, she felt safe.
As she waited for Samuel to answer her, she was greeted by a hoarse and deep voice. âYouâve got the wrong person.â
âThatâs impossible!â Natalie shook her head confidently.
âIâm not Samuel. Iâm Xander.â
âWhat? You...â
When the man in her dream turned around, she saw the familiar silver mask. âNo! No! Donât do this to me...â
Natalie couldnât wake herself up from that dream.
Meanwhile, outside of her dream, her face had flushed red, and it was burning. Beads of sweat could be seen gathered on her forehead as well. In fact, her whole body was burning up.
âDonât go... Donât go... I donât want this...â she mumbled in her sleep.
Natalieâs wound was inflamed. When Samuel was watching her that night, he immediately knew something was wrong.
âJesper, get a doctor. Get the best doctor to come here,â Samuel ordered in a deep voice.
Jesper threw a glance at Natalie and noticed her condition. He then ran to the doctorsâ room to find the chief doctor.
Soon after, the doctor arrived, and he was frightened when he saw Samuel, who was wearing the silver mask.
Although Samuel was wearing a mask, the doctor could still feel the domineering aura of a ruthless tyrant that he was exuding.
Hence, the doctor knew he had to proceed warily.
The doctor took Natalieâs temperature, and he was stunned when he saw she was having a fever of almost forty degrees Celsius. He then instantly gave her an injection to lower her temperature.
âHow long until her fever subsides?â Samuel asked curtly.
âItâll take aroundââ
âJust tell me how long will it take!â Samuel interrupted coldly.
Upon hearing that, the doctor felt inexplicably guilty. After wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, he answered, âThe fever will subside within three hours.â
âOkay. Remember what you said.â Samuel continued in a deep voice, âSince this is a society governed by law, I wonât be able to exchange your life for hers. But if the fever doesnât go away in three hours, you can kiss your career goodbye.â
Although he sounded outrageous and dramatic, the doctor knew he meant it.
In his heart, he was silently praying that Natalieâs fever would subside within three hours. Please! Donât let anything go wrong!
As Jesper brought the doctor away, only Samuel and Natalie were left in the ward.
After the injection, Natalieâs temperature was going down steadily, and she stopped mumbling in her sleep as much as before.
Samuel wanted to tuck the blanket over Natalie, but she suddenly held his hand and tightened her grip.
He tried pulling his hand away, but as if it was a silent tug of war, she refused to let go no matter what.
