Bastien stood up and left the ward.
Joseph thought Bastien had settled it and intended to leave the hospital.
“Mr. Nine, let me send you home.”
“I will stay here at the hospital tonight.” Bastien’s face seemed gentle. “Joseph, please arrange for someone to
make some soup for her.”
“Mr. Nine, you…”
Joseph could not believe what he heard.
Bastien might seem like a gentleman, but he was hard to get close to.
Many women used to fall in love with him because he was gentle. Yet, in the end, they got hurt deeply.
Joseph had been working for Bastien for over seven years. It was the first time he saw the latter care so much for a
woman.
“Are my words so hard to understand?” Bastien narrowed his eyes. “Do you need me to repeat it?”
“No. No need.” Joseph choked on his word. “I am just curious why Mr. Nine treats this woman so differently? What’s
so special about her?”

“Hmm…”
Seeing Joseph’s curious look, Bastien uttered faintly, “She will be the future Mrs. Nine.”
Upon hearing that, Joseph’s heart skipped a beat.
“So remember. From now on, all her orders are like my order to you. You must do as she says!”
Joseph recollected himself and nodded.
Meanwhile, inside the ward.
Natalie thought she would not be able to go home that night. She took out her phone and texted Samuel.
She typed a line of text.
I am injured…
She hesitated for a while and eventually deleted those words.
Judging from Samuel’s attentiveness toward her, she could not imagine his reaction if he knew she was injured.
Natalie would rather not let those close to her know about the bad news.
Just like how Samuel would worry if she got hurt, she would worry if the former kept worrying about her.
After pondering for a long while, she eventually sent a text.

I will be busy these two days so I can’t go home. Don’t worry about me. Love you.
A few seconds after she sent out the text, Samuel called her.
“You’re busy, right? Do you want me to send supper over?”
If he sends supper here, everything will be exposed.
“No need. I’ve eaten already,” Natalie replied with guilt. “You must be tired of work. There’s no need to take care of
me like a little child. I know how to take care of myself.”
“You? Sometimes even Sophia is more mature than you.”
“Samuel, can you stop provoking me?” Natalie reminded, “I am nineteen years older than Sophia!”

everything to yourself. You even ask me not to worry about you.”
His magnetic voice was deep and attractive.
Natalie’s eyes started beaming with tears as she heard those words.
“Samuel, I can have a good life under your protection. But I don’t want to become a pet,” Natalie expressed her
thoughts. “I want to be able to support myself. I want to stand by you with dignity rather than living my life thinking
of how to please you every day.”
“No matter how hard you work, please remember that I am always there for you.” Samuel’s tone was filled with
affection. “My net worth should be enough to support you and the four kids.”
“I got it. Goodnight.”
Hanging up the phone, Natalie grabbed her pillow. Her mind was filled with mixed emotions.
He had his way around women. He must have guessed that something was wrong. Yet, he did not force me to say it
and respected me instead. How can I not be attracted to him?
Thinking about how Samuel would not be by her side for the following nights, a trace of disappointment rose in her
heart.
How could I be so dependent on him? I should hold my ground!
