Chapter 808 Fight
Panic struck Natalie at the thought of two days being equivalent to twenty years for Samuel.
I don’t trust Yara, but I do believe in her love for Samuel. That is the only reason I’m spending time here
searching for the secret between the moon and the secret compartment, but I’ve been searching for so
long, forgoing sleep and rest, yet I still couldn’t find any new clues. Now, I’m suspicious of the credibility
of Yara’s last words.
It was Natalie’s first time being so helpless.
The whole house was dead silent, and it was driving her mad.
Suddenly, she heard a strange noise coming from downstairs.
Her ears twitched at the soft sound. That sounded like someone’s footsteps coming into the house from
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtoutside.
The owners of this house had all passed away. Melissa, Thomas, Yvonne, and even Yara were all
dead. All household staff was dismissed, so nobody should be coming here.
Yet, someone is entering the house now! Can it be the person who had supported the Nichols family?
Is the person here to destroy or retrieve evidence?
Natalie felt as though a hand was tightly clenching her heart. Turning off the desk lamp on her left, she
left the study with light steps.
Keeping her back against the wall of the corridor, she held her breath and slowly approached the
intruder. Maybe I can get some information on the location of the hideout and some clue for the cure if I
can catch the intruder. After bracing herself, her determination shone in her eyes.
The footsteps are getting closer. They sounded light, so the intruder must be trained. It’s too late to
back out now. This is the only chance I have to save Samuel.
Suddenly, as a man’s figure approached, Natalie fixed her ruthless gaze on the man and attacked him
without hesitation.
She slammed a punch to the man’s throat, but the man caught her fist, diffusing her attack. Tightening
his grip over her wrist, he hurled her a few yards away. Luckily, Natalie had quick reflexes, so she
immediately curled herself into a ball and launched herself at him again.
After losing the element of surprise from the first attack, Natalie was at a disadvantage in the fight.
Under the dim lighting, both of them couldn’t see each other’s faces. They could only gauge their
opponent’s attack from the movement of their silhouettes.
Natalie knew she was no match for the man in terms of strength and skill, but her strong desire to win
had her getting up and launching a more lethal assault on the man. Her soft fist packing a powerful
punch didn’t let the man gain too much of an advantage over her.
As the battle got more intense, Natalie’s strength began dwindling.
Seeing the opportunity, the man instantly seized her throat and said, “Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhelp you.”
Natalie’s hair was a mess and blocked half of her face. Only her eyes were staring at him with
determination. “Your target is me, so don’t touch the Bowers family and give me the antidote. I’ll let you
do whatever you want to me.”
“Antidote?”
“Don’t act dumb with me.” Natalie said with a sharp gaze, “With Yara’s brain and money, there was no
way she could’ve come up with a poison like that.”
“You!”
The man belatedly realized he had misunderstood and swiftly turned on the switch.
As the chandelier above them lighted up, it illuminated the whole room.
When Natalie lifted her head again, Benjamin got a good look at the face he was holding.
Her skin was fair as snow. Her eyes were clear as water. There was a soul-stirring beauty when one
met her gaze. Yet her beauty was free of worldliness and enchantment. Instead, it gave out a faint
coldness.
I’ve seen her before! This woman was the one that saved my life by treating my injury in the outback.
“It’s you,” Benjamin muttered under his breath.
