Chapter 562 The Protective Natalie
Natalie fell into a deep slumber.
Amidst her grogginess, she seemed to hear many people talking, but it felt surreal.
She was so tired that she could not even open her eyes.
At that point, she felt that she was falling slowly into a bottomless abyss.
“Natalie.”
All of a sudden, she stopped falling. Jennie’s face and voice appeared in front of her.
“Mom…”
Natalie was getting agitated. She wanted to embrace Jennie, but she could not when her arms went through her mother’s body.
“Natalie, listen to me. Stop your investigation on the Bayer family.”
“Mom, I must avenge you and Granddad!”
“Since the Bayer family is gone, forget it. Nothing must ever happen to you. A peaceful life is more important than anything else!”
“Mom, I can’t just let the Bayer family perish for nothing!”
Jennie faded away, and Natalie woke up from her dream.
“Mom, don’t go!”
Natalie pursed her lips, opened her eyes, and saw the white ceiling of the ward.
“You’re awake?” Yandel lowered himself and asked, “Boss, how are you feeling? Are you thirsty or hungry? Do you want to have some solid food or soup?”
Natalie’s face was ashen, and her hospital gown had been soaked in perspiration.
“Yandel, was I out for a long time?”
“You have been sleeping for more than ten hours. Boss, you fainted shortly after you came out from the operating theatre. I was so scared!”
“Has Christopher’s condition stabilized?”
“He is still unconscious, but his condition is stable. Joshua is with him now.” Then, Yandel scooped a bowl of mushroom soup and picked up the spoon. “Boss, have some soup first. Open up. I’ll feed you.”
Natalie frowned and took the bowl of soup from Yandel with her unhurt right hand.
“I can feed myself.”
“All right then.”
Natalie took a sip of the mushroom soup and steadied herself before questioning Yandel.
“Yandel, when I told you to block Samuel off, I didn’t tell you to hurt him. Why was there blood on his face?” She glared at him before continuing, “Just because you have been with me for years doesn’t mean I will let you off the hook.”
Yandel did not expect Natalie to be so protective. Still, he was not the one who had caused that injury.
Yandel explained with a miserable look on his face, “Boss, even if I had the guts, I wouldn’t be able to do it. I tried to stall him according to your instruction. But, you must know that Samuel is exactly like you. There was no way I could have stopped him. In the end, a sprinkler truck hit his car. That was why he slowed down.”
Natalie was stumped after hearing that.
She had been worried that Samuel would not dare to make a move. That was why she had ordered Yandel to stall him.
It turned out that a car accident did the job, not Yandel.
That car accident had happened at such a coincidental time.
She doubted that the accident was meant to hurt Samuel. On the contrary, the true intention of it was to keep Samuel away from the kidnapping incident.
If Samuel had not gotten there in the nick of time, Sophia, Christopher, and herself would have perished in that abandoned warehouse.
Natalie looked up and asked Yandel, “Where’s Samuel?”
“He…” Yandel looked down and did not know how to answer her.
“What happened to him? Tell me the truth!”
Since Natalie had regained consciousness before Samuel, Yandel was well aware that it would be hard to get himself out of it if he lied. In the end, he told her everything in detail, “The hospital doesn’t have enough blood for Christopher, so Samuel made up for the rest by donating his blood. Once he knew that Christopher is safe, he fainted just like you did because he has given too much blood.”
