The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 956

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.

“Samuel!”

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. “Samuel, where did you go? Why did you lie to me? If you don't explain everything to me, I'll never forgive you!”

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. “You've got the wrong person.”

“That's impossible!” Natalie shook her head confidently.

“I'm not Samuel. I'm Xander.”

“What? You...”

When the man in her dream turned around, she saw the familiar silver mask. “No! No! Don't do this to me...”

Natalie couldn't 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.

“Don't go... Don't go... I don't want this...” she mumbled in her sleep.

Natalie's wound was inflamed. When Samuel was watching her that night, he immediately knew something was wrong.

“Jesper, get a doctor. Get the best doctor to come here,” Samuel ordered in a deep voice.

Jesper threw a glance at Natalie and noticed her condition. He then ran to the doctors' 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 Natalie's 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.

“How long until her fever subsides?” Samuel asked curtly.

“It'll take around—”

“Just tell me how long will it take!” Samuel interrupted coldly.

Upon hearing that, the doctor felt inexplicably guilty. After wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, he answered, “The fever will subside within three hours.”

“Okay. Remember what you said.” Samuel continued in a deep voice, “Since this is a society governed by law, I won't be able to exchange your life for hers. But if the fever doesn't go away in three hours, you can kiss your career goodbye.”

Although he sounded outrageous and dramatic, the doctor knew he meant it.

In his heart, he was silently praying that Natalie's fever would subside within three hours. Please! Don't let anything go wrong!

As Jesper brought the doctor away, only Samuel and Natalie were left in the ward.

After the injection, Natalie's 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. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

He tried pulling his hand away, but as if it was a silent tug of war, she refused to let go no matter what.
