The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 955

“You're very capable, aren't you?” Samuel uttered in a hoarse voice.

“Thanks for your compliments.” Natalie knew Samuel was being sarcastic, but she didn't want to back down.

It's my body, so I make my own decisions. Die or live, it's entirely my decision. No one else has a say in that. The last man who controlled me so domineeringly like this was Samuel! Although he can do it, that doesn't mean other men could.

Knowing that Natalie wouldn't speak to him nicely, Samuel didn't want to bicker with her. Either way, In the end, one of us is going to feel hurt. I don't want her to feel hurt.

“Don't move! I'll re-apply the medicine and re-bandage it,” he instructed.

Natalie asked casually, “Do you mind getting a doctor here? I don't think you're a certified doctor.”

Samuel peeled a bandage off before saying, ”Well, I'm not. But how about you? Didn't you treat Yvette's allergy just now? Are you a certified doctor?”

Natalie was rendered speechless. Although she was certified to conduct an autopsy, she wasn't a certified doctor. She was only good at traditional medicine, and she had her mother and Malcolm to thank for it.

“Stop moving.”

“You might not know why I've appeared, but all you need to know is that I won't hurt you.” While applying medicine to her wound, he added in a deep voice, “You only have to endure my presence for

a little while longer, though. I don't know when, but I'm leaving to go somewhere far. By then, you won't get to see me anymore.”

As Samuel was telling her about what he had gone through, almost half of the information he had told her wasn't real. However, his feelings for her couldn't be more genuine.

Without knowing how to react, Natalie just kept listening to him talk while he attended to her wound meticulously.

He seems to have figured out my intentions. In fact, I feel like he knows everything about my personality. It's as if he has total control over me!

Shortly after, Natalie's injury was taken care of.

“It's late. Sleep here tonight, okay?” Samuel slowly stood up from kneeling on one knee and said, “When you wake up tomorrow, you can check on Yvette to see if she has recovered.”

Natalie nodded. Xander's suggestion makes sense.

“My phone's dead. May I borrow yours?” Samuel reached out his opened palm.

Natalie unhesitatingly gave him her phone without thinking too much about it. “Here.”

To her surprise, instead of making a call or sending a text, Samuel kept the phone in his pocket.

“Xander, what are you—”

“If I don't confiscate your phone, you're not going to have a good night's sleep,” Samuel said softly. “I'm only keeping it for one night. You'll have it back tomorrow morning.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“That's my phone! How could you?” Natalie widened her eyes in agitation.

“If you're angry, kindly think about the times when I've helped you. See it as returning me the favors.”

Natalie was speechless, and she could only watch him leave. At the same time, she was gritting her teeth in anger.

He's right, though. I owe him a lot of favors. If I want to go against him, I would be going against my savior! That's against my principle. However, I can't keep letting him control me! Xander!

Not once did Samuel blow his cover, but he still managed to have control over her.

Since Natalie didn't have her phone with her, she wasn't interrupted by the internet. Thus, all she could do was lie in bed and force herself to fall asleep.

She tried very hard to fall asleep, and she did fall asleep in the end.

While she was asleep, she was dreaming about two men. One of them was Samuel, and the other one was Xander with his silver mask on.
