NovelOnlineChapter 841 Caught Off Guard
Samuel clutched his chest and involuntarily frowned.
He pursed his lips tightly as his gaze darkened. Justin watched his expression warily, clueless about
what was going on in his friend’s mind.
Justin said, “I really didn’t do it on purpose, Samuel.”
“I know,” Samuel replied lightly while staring at Justin.
Still uneasy, Justin asked, “Are you really okay? What happened just now, Samuel? It’s so weird! Why
didn’t you dodge my punch earlier?”
“I couldn’t be bothered to evade it.” Samuel’s tone remained nonchalant as though the punch had
scarcely affected him.
“That makes sense now!” Justin was immensely relieved by his reply. “Based on your abilities, you
would’ve expected my punch.”

“That’s great! Well, I’m going to arrange for lunch now.” Justin turned around and headed to a
restaurant to order their lunch.
Once he was safely out of Justin’s sight, Samuel clutched his chest again. Several coughs racked his
body, and he was shocked to taste blood near his throat.
It turned out that he had been lying to Justin all along.
He had not sensed his friend’s punch, so he could not react in time to evade the attack.
What the heck happened?
Samuel’s eyes narrowed in thought.
Slowly, he lifted his hand and clenched his fist. He tried to feel the energy around his joints and
muscles, and he came to the sinking realization that his strength was gradually ebbing away.
How could this happen? Natalie had already administered the antidote. It should’ve neutralized the
accelerated-aging poison in my body. I’ve been resting all this while too, so I shouldn’t feel this way.
Suddenly, a frightening thought crossed Samuel’s mind.
What if it’s because of something else?
Several days later, Natalie went shopping with Yana.
Her pregnant belly was even more obvious now, though her waist still appeared slim from behind.
Yana grew even more radiant as her pregnancy progressed.
Her simple get-up failed to conceal her brimming motherly sentiment.
She immediately clasped Natalie’s hand and exclaimed, “We haven’t seen each other in forever,
Natalie!”
“Exactly!” Natalie smiled and added, “That’s why I came once you invited me.”
“That’s great!”
Natalie accompanied Yana as the latter browsed the children’s section.
Every piece of clothing and toy caught Yana’s fancy, and she went on a massive shopping spree in the
store.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBy the time she was done shopping, Yana was exhausted, so the two of them decided to grab a meal
at a nearby restaurant.
“Have you and Hans thought of the baby’s name, Yana?” asked Natalie.
“Not yet.” Yana shook her head and lamented, “My dad and Hans’ dad have been debating names for
the past two days. It’s a close competition, and there’s no clear winner in sight.”
“Well, whose suggestion do you like better?”
Yana could not help but rub her temples when she heard Natalie’s question. “Is ‘neither’ an option? My
dad’s keen on picking a name from The Republic, while my father-in-law is eyeing Shakespeare’s
Sonnets. Their argument has gone beyond the baby’s name to the literary significance of the works. I
don’t know how these two old men have the energy to argue until they’re both red in the face.”
She immediately burst into laughter after finishing her sentence.
Natalie could not help but join in when she imagined their fight.
Yana and Hans’ long-awaited second child was already the apple of the Weiss and Becker families
before it was even born.
After Yana updated Natalie on her situation, she asked, “Enough about me. What’s going on with you
and Samuel? When is he going to marry my sister?”
