Chapter 125 You Have To Accept It
Samuel suppressed the fiery anger that roared in his chest. Shoving those feelings aside, he returned to
the Bowers residence.
Meanwhile, Steven finally had some free time to play games on the couch now that he had tucked the
two kids into bed.
His peace did not last long. A moment passed before he caught sight of a furious Samuel who walked
over. The latter’s gaze was much frostier than usual.
A series of shivers tingled down Steven’s spine at once.
Even so, he decided to bite the bullet and ask, “S-Sam… Didn’t you say you’ll be in the hospital for a few
days? Why have you suddenly returned?”
“I got attacked by a wolf.”
“What? A wolf?” Steven was puzzled but did not forget to back his brother up. He declared, “Tell me,
Sam. Which wolf had the audacity to attack you? I’ll end its life right now!”
Instantly, Samuel’s brows drew close into a sharp glare as he snapped, “Don’t you dare!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnly then did Steven realize what was going on.
Wait. Samuel is defending the wolf that attacked him? It can’t possibly be a real wolf. No. I’m absolutely
sure that Natalie is the so-called wolf that broke his heart.
An awkward chuckle slipped from Steven as he finally responded, “I won’t actually kill that wolf, Sam. I
was only kidding.”
“How have Franklin and Sophia been during these two days when I was away?” asked Samuel as he
unbuttoned his collar.
“Things have generally been fine. The only issue was that they constantly asked to see Natalie.” Steven
rubbed his temples before adding, “I almost couldn’t fend off against their whining. Fortunately, Grandpa
gave me a hand, and we managed to stop them from barging into the hospital.”
“Where are they now?”
“Asleep…”
“I’ll go upstairs to see them,” Samuel announced.
He rose to his feet and slowly walked over to the children’s room.
Inside the blue and pink cots were Franklin and Sophia. Both children slept in odd positions; the former’s
blanket had slipped off his body while the latter’s feet poked out of her blanket.
They seemed to sleep soundly.
Still, their sleeping positions with their arms all stretched out were a mess to watch.
Samuel could not help but see a resemblance between their sleeping positions and Natalie’s.
He tucked his two little ones’ limbs under their blankets before silently leaving the room.
After heading back to his room, Samuel lit a cigarette.
It seems that she still doesn’t believe in me… Perhaps, she has gotten hurt so badly that she can no
longer trust others.
At that thought, he felt too afraid to uncover Natalie’s deepest secret as he knew it would hurt her even
more.
Amidst puffs of cigarette smoke, a glint of determination flashed across his eyes.
I’ll wait for however long as it takes for her to trust me.
Ever since Samuel left Natalie’s ward, he never returned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmApart from a small spike of disappointment in Natalie’s heart, she felt relaxed for the following days after
his departure.
On the day she got discharged, Franklin, Sophia, and Steven picked her up from the hospital.
Franklin entered the ward with a bouquet of red roses in his hands. He immediately handed them to
Natalie and said, “These are from me, so you have to accept it. You can’t say no!”
Natalie had never received a single rose throughout her life.
Thus, she could not help but smile while looking at Franklin’s adorably blushing face. “Of course, I’ll
accept them. Thank you.”
A surge of glee went off in Franklin’s chest. He was overjoyed but tried to hide it from Natalie. As his lips
curved upward, he hurriedly covered it with his hand, not wanting anyone to see how pleased he was.
“You don’t have to thank me. I-I bought it for you just because we passed the florist on our way here.”
Just then, Steven interjected, “Well, actually… We were indeed on our way here when Franklin told me
to stop at the roadside for about half an hour…”
“Uncle Steven!”
A brilliant shade of red crept up Franklin’s cheeks as the truth had gotten exposed.
“Jeez! Can’t you keep your mouth shut? Y-You’ve embarrassed me!”
