Samuel's frown deepened when he heard that.
Natalie knew that Samuel was strict with Steven, but things had never gotten to this extent before.
“No, that's not it. Anyway, it's really late. You should hurry up and get some sleep. Whether or not Steven and I get
along well has nothing to do with you, so there's no need for you to get involved,” Samuel replied coldly.
Natalie froze when she heard that.
Huh? Nothing to do with me? No need for me to get involved? Why does he make it sound like I'm a busybody? I'm
worried about them, and this is what I get in return?
“I'm going to take a shower,” Samuel mumbled as he grabbed his bathrobe and pajamas before entering the
bathroom.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie's lips twitched slightly as she watched him go, but no words came out of her mouth.
Why do I feel like Samuel has been avoiding me lately? It's almost as if he doesn't want to see me, let alone talk to
me! At first, I thought Samuel was just being secretive so he could surprise me with an unforgettable proposal. But,
a few days have gone by, and he still hasn't proposed to me at all... No, there's no reason for Justin to lie to me! If
Samuel has made preparations for his proposal, then he will surely propose to me!
Natalie kept repeating that thought in her head in an attempt to remove her doubts.
Later that night, Natalie hugged Samuel tightly when she fell asleep.
Instead of pulling her into his arms like he always did, Samuel simply shot her a conflicted glance in response.
Both of them were keeping their thoughts to themselves instead of discussing it with each other.
A few days later, Luna was once again examining Samuel at the guesthouse.
Noticing her pursed lips and reddened eyes after taking his pulse, Samuel pulled his hand back and asked, “What is
it, Luna? There's no need for you to hold any information back. Just tell me the truth about my condition.”
Luna took a deep breath and replied, “I tried treating you with acupuncture and the medicine that Grandpa gave
you before, but the results aren't looking good. The toxin in your body is two to three times more than when
Grandpa treated you back then. At this stage, you should experience a loss of strength. Some time later, your five
senses will start to deteriorate. You will first lose your sense of taste, followed by your sense of hearing, smell, and
lastly, sight.”
After saying all that, Luna simply stared at Samuel in silence as he processed her words.
Everyone knew how Samuel had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and that him becoming the next head
of the Bowers family was only a matter of time.
However, people seemed to neglect the fact that power struggles were commonplace in wealthy families like his.
The one who gave him that poison was none other than his own uncle Stanley.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn order to prevent Samuel from becoming the heir of the Bower family, Stanley was willing to go as far as using
this poison on him.
The worst part about this poison was how it would make the victim suffer tremendously before killing them.
Since Stanley had died in the incident back then, the ugly secrets about their power struggles had been buried
along with him.
As time went on, people gradually forgot about Samuel's poisoning. Few knew the truth behind his reasons for
having Malcolm teach him medicine. Unlike most people who studied medicine to save others, Samuel was only
doing it as a desperate attempt to save himself.
Luna bit down on her lip as she added, “The poison wouldn't have relapsed if it weren't for the aging drug you were
injected with. Most other people would've been fine after receiving an antidote, but that drug could cost you your
life.”
Samuel shot her a murderous, icy-cold glare as he said, “Remember, you will only tell people that my condition is a
result of the poison from Stanley having a relapse. Make no mention of the aging drug to anyone, you hear me? If
anyone finds out about it, I will punish the entire Garcia family along with you!”
