She knew he would be unhappy. After all, he was a man accustomed to commanding and ordering people around, how would he like to hear people going against him?It did not matter if it was about herself, but if it was about Howard...As an older sister, she had a duty to protect him. "It doesn't matter how you treat me but please spare my brother, he's still a child.""Spare him? I'm just asking him to accompany my daughter to and from school. Is that difficult?""Just to and from school?"She did not want to sound acidulous, but his nonchalant attitude eventually hurt Natalie. "Who is your daughter? Who is my brother? You said my brother has good character and your daughter is a bit wayward. What do you want him to do if your daughter went too far during the school run?"She said it all in one breath, and she could not stop after finishing it. "The result of defying her was what happened to me that day, the result of not defying her..."As she got to this point, she took a deep b
She was already nervous being in the same room with him, and now they were sleeping so intimately close together...Natalie felt her stomach bloated slightly as she got nervous. It was tolerable at first, but it gradually got more and more painful.Oh no!She had always had menstrual cramps, and tonight seemed to be more painful than usual. What should she do?She wanted to suppress the pain and not make a sound, but her body could not stop trembling from the discomfort. The man behind her soon noticed something was wrong with her.He had been busy for several days and did not even bother to go home. When he finally got to sleep in his own bed, the woman would not stop wiggling in his arms. John's eyebrows quivered and he patted her buttocks with his hand. "Stop wiggling...""..."She did not want to wiggle either!However, her stomach was hurting really, really bad..."Why don't you listen when I tell you to stay still? I..." Halfway through his sentence, the ma
She never expected for him to do something like this. Natalie cried out, “Ah… what… what are you doing?”“What are you crying out for? What else am I supposed to do if you’re in this state?”After uttering these words, he impatiently continued, “There’s no hot water bag in this house. So, the only thing I can do is help you in another way.”‘Another way? What way?’The questions were just starting to form in her mind when the very next second, her abdomen that had been cramping the whole time was suddenly covered with a layer of warmth.It was…His hand!!!She was so shocked with it that she had forgotten about her pain, and her whole body turned stiff akin to a log of wood...For a long, long while!It was there for so long that she started to feel suffocated in her lungs. It was only then that she realized she had forgotten to breathe because she was too nervous.Why did he…“I asked the servants. They said massaging would help!”“...”Natalie was shocked again hearing t
Noticing how she was standing still in a daze, John abruptly raised his hand and flicked her forehead with his finger. “Why are you in a daze? Are you going in or not?"“Hmm?”“Don’t you need to use the bathroom?”Natalie, “...”Her face blushed slightly!This was a difficult question for her to answer. In short, it was plain embarrassing…She did not know how to answer him, hence she decided to not reply at all. She dashed into the bathroom with a crimson red face.She dilly-dallied in the bathroom for quite a while and saw the man waiting impatiently with a solemn expression when she came out. He asked, “Why are you so slow?”“Uh…”She had been inside for at least half an hour, and it was because she wanted to avoid spending more time with him. She thought that since he was such an impetuous person, he would have left her behind for being too slow. Why…“You…were you waiting for me?”The man did not say he was, nor did he say that he was not too. He merely replied, “I’m he
As soon as she saw the child, Natalie subconsciously frowned slightly…This action was not an indication that she hated that child. Rather, she was worried she would get into another conflict with her.After all, she was an adult and she would not stoop down to a child’s level even if she were furious. However, if the child continued to find ways to be mean, it would be troublesome.On the contrary, she had guessed wrong this time around. Despite the child expressing hostility when seeing her, she did not utter anything rude to her. She only looked at John and pleaded, “Can’t you send me to school this one time, daddy?”“Molly, didn’t we discuss this earlier?”“But…”Molly did not finish her sentence and gazed resentfully at Natalie.However, Natalie thought of something when she met her gaze.She suggested, “Why don’t you send her to school? I’ll ask the butler to send me instead!”It seemed as if he had anticipated this to happen. Not only did John’s face express unhappiness
Ultimately, the seemingly petty issue blew up into a huge problem!It seemed to have been blown up but actually, it had only been a one-sided complaint and she was in an entirely passive position right now.“Were you looking for me, sir?”“Natalie! Come and take a seat…”Natalie sat down. She had an inkling on why she was called in, but until the Head of Huahe Hospital spoke about it, she still sat and waited patiently to hear what he had to say.“You know why I called you in, right?”Mr. Connors was Head of Huahe Hospital and was over the age of fifty. It was said that he was the director of the thoracic surgery department years ago and passed the position to Sean when he joined Huahe.In its true sense, he was Natalie’s senior, and for that, she was very respectful to him. She believed that he would understand and agree to the first aid treatment she had rendered during that crucial moment and hence when she was notified that the head of hospital wanted to see her, she came co
She had been wronged, so very wronged…Natalie, who had never complained about life’s hardships for so many years, finally cracked. The feeling of wanting to cry out loud was extremely overbearing. Even though she held it back, she still felt the urge as that something about to burst out of her body.Zoey rushed over at this moment. Seeing her trying so hard to hold back her tears, she said nothing and pulled her up the hospital’s rooftop.She was still silent upon reaching the rooftop, and only quietly sat by her side for some time. She waited until Natalie recollected her emotions and was willing to speak, and gently patted her hand asking, “Do you feel better?”“Yes!”Zoey heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “What did the head of hospital say? Your complexion was so horrible that it scared me…”“He wanted me to take a long vacation, at least until that patient discharge from the hospital.”“Oh crap…”Zoey has a rash temperament and was a classic example of a straightforward a
What Janine said was all true. However, even if she was speaking the truth, she was worried that Natalie would expose the fact that she was a blabbermouth.After all, she was still fearful of Jessica’s reaction. Hence, her once arrogance attitude got diminished in a blink of an eye.Just as she thought that she was about to be crushed by Natalie, someone walked out from the door to the stairs on the top floor. “No need to check. I’ll tell you right now that I’m the one who asked Mrs. Johnson to find the head of the hospital. I also told her that you were the one with the operational error. So what?”“Jessica, why are you here?”Janine’s exclamation was not from surprise. After all, she had been worrying that Jessica would be mad at her for being a blabbermouth. She did not expect Jessica to not be mad at her and was even helping her.At that moment, she ran to her side. “Thank God you’re here. You have no idea how arrogant she is…”Even though everything a small character like Ja
