Chapter 84
Natalie had barely uttered several words when King looked up with a piercing gaze, silencing her
immediately.
After a moment, King sighed softly, carefully picked up her bandaged right arm, and said, “I hope it
doesn’t scar. Remember to apply the healing ointment three times a day when you are back in the
country. It should heal up in a few days.”
His Natalie was meant to be wless, without a single blemish on her body.
“Sure.” Natalie replied with a grin as she sensed his softened tone. “I won’t forget.”
Then, she added in a quieter voice, “Can you not be mad anymore, please?”
She hadn’t returned to upset King, and his head wasn’t totally right yet. He couldn’t handle the
stress.
King watched her for a while, his eyes gradually softening. “Natalie, when I wanted you at the
headquarters, it wasn’t because I expected contributions or sacrifices. I just wanted you to take better
care of yourself. If there’s a next time, I forbid you from setting foot in the headquarters again.”
Natalie understood what King meant, but sometimes, she couldn’t help but want to share his burdens
and ease his load.
“Also… I’ve been thinking about it. Once you officially graduate, I want to marry you,” King said gently,
pinching her cheek and looking into her eyes earnestly.
Natalie had been away for so many days, and he’d been worried about her. He couldn’t wait any
longer. He had tomit to Natalie before she got tangled up with Brian.
As his words hung in the air, Natalie looked up at King, her eyes wide with shock, frozen.
Marry her?
“I’ll give you time to think about it. When you’ve decided, tell me,” King said with a gentle smile,
lowering his voice.
Brian stood silently outside the emergency room in the corridor, watching the intimate scene unfold
before him, his gaze turning frosty by the inch..
Behind him, the hospital director and a group of others stood uncertainly, not understanding why Brian
had suddenly stopped.
Brian fixed his eyes on the man in the wheelchair, dressed in hospital garb. So, Natalie had rushed
back for this guy, abandoning Nate’s birthday party.
After a while, he let out a silent, coldugh, turned, and continued walking down the corridor.
Reid, who had followed Brian, hadn’t expected that not finding FireWing would result in such a scene.
He treaded carefully behind Brian, not daring to make a sound.

“What’s the identity of the patient in the wheelchair? Brian suddenly acred in a desavars turning to the
hospital director behind him,
The director immediately summoned King’s hospital records and personal details, handing them to
Brian. “His name’s Ken Weston, from the same ce as you. Mr. Howard He moves to Bluestar ten
years ago. Records show he owns an electronics store.”
Brian’s gaze settled on Ken’s detailed information
His parents died leaving him an orphan, he attended Bluestar, but drooped out due to a car ident
that took his parents lives. He sold all his family assets and moved to Bluestars where he opened a
modest electronics shop.
The car parked in the hospital spot was a Mercedes E–ss, which was not excendiuve, even on
the cheaper side.
So, Natalie drove a Mercedes because of this man.
Brian distinctly remembered Natalie telling him, on the night Nate had a fever, that even if she married

a man less than Shawn, at least he would give her the status of a wife an equal standing.
She saw herself so lightly, all for this man with meager family assets.
His eyes lingered on the passport–sized photo of Ken in the documents.
*Contact the other hospitals, and from today on, cancel his prescriptions city–wide,” he ordered the
director with a dark tone.
Then, turning to Reid beside him, hemanded, “Follow this address and smash his store.”
