A Cue for Love Chapter 846
The Aloofness
Even so, Benjamin only twitched his lips without uttering any word.
“Hmph! Benjamin, you won’t make a fuss over that, right?” Natalie snorted.
“Of course, I won’t. I’m only surprised because you mentioned that I was yourrade,” Benjamin
responded. The weariness on his face seemed to have faded when he shed her a smile.
“What’s so surprising? If not for you, I could have met my end and gotten buried among the debris!”
she jokingly snapped as she helped him back into the ward and lie on the bed.
Later, she twisted the lid of the thermal food jar and handed him a spoon. “Take some soup then. This
is chicken and ham soup. It’s nutritious for you.”
“Okay!” Benjamin dly responded.
He felt a ripple of warmth flow into his stomach after taking a few sips. Hence, he asked inquisitively,
“You added some herbs into it, didn’t you?”
“Yeah, I’ve added in some to help quicken your recovery,” Natalie replied cidly and whipped out a
bottle. “Since I’ve attended to your wound before, I bet you’re aware of my expertise in the medical
field, right? I feel bad for causing you to sustain severe injuries during the explosion unwittingly. These
pills are produced via a special concoction. I believe they are helpful in the healing of your wounds and
the growth of your bones. It’s also a token of my sincerity topensate you!”
Looking intently into the earnestness in Natalie’s eyes, Benjamin took the bottle of pills from her and
thanked her. “Thanks. I’ll take it then.”
“Do you have any ns after your recovery?” she asked him.
Benjamin elucidated, “I came all the way to Dellmoor to investigate ze’s research base. Since it’s
been destroyed by the explosion, there’s no point for me to continue staying here. After my condition
stabilizes, I’ll leave and go back to Loang.”
Natalie’s curiosity was piqued. “If King is ze’s leader, then your…”
“Sorry, I can’t reveal anything about that.” Knowing that Natalie was curious about his superior,
Benjamin’s expression darkened instantaneously. “Even if you’ve saved my life twice, there are still
things I can’t pour out to you. I hope you understand that I have no choice due to mypliance with
themands and restrictions. At the same time, I’m trying to protect you. You might ce yourself in
deep waters if you dig out more information.”
Natalie was not an assertive person. Hence, she respected Benjamin’s privacy and did not continue
pestering him about that.
“Other than that, heed my advice and stay alert,” Benjamin advised as he fastened his gaze on Natalie.
“Undeniably, ze’s research base was sted because of you, so bear in mind not to let your guard
down. It might seem peaceful at the moment, but the worst is yet toe. I’m afraid both ze and
King won’t let you off easily!”
Needless to say, Natalie was well aware that Benjamin was being sincere in giving his word of advice.

She nodded solemnly. “Thanks for warning me. I’ll keep my guard up all the time. See you around
then.”
“Okay!” Benjamin nodded.
Shortly after, Natalie rose and left the ward. The moment she stepped out of the hospital, she cast a
look in the direction of the burning sun. Well, I’ve opted for this path with unlimited obstacles. There’s
no turning back from the very moment I made the decision.
Instead of going with the flow timorously, she talked herself into mustering up her courage.
Unequivocally, she would only be able to protect herself and her beloved ones if she became mightier.
A few days psed since then.
Every day, Samuel left home early in the morning and was only back after the night had fallen. Natalie
assumed he was busy making preparations for the proposal.
One day, it was almost the middle of the night when Samuel was eventually home.
Natalie grinned blissfully as she greeted him, “Ah! You’re back!”
“Yeah!” Samuel tugged his cor with an unmissable hint of frustration in his eyes.
“Have you been busytely?” Natalie questioned warily.
Nevertheless, Samuel only replied in a perfunctory tone, “Yeah!”
Before Natalie could ask further, he uttered emotionlessly, “I’m exhausted today, and I need a shower
now. Go to bed earlier, okay? Don’t stay upte to wait for me.”
Secondster, he stepped into the bathroom and closed the door.
Nevertheless, Natalie’s mood was not spoiled at all.
If she had not overheard Justin talking on the phone earlier, she might have been bothered by
Samuel’s unusual aloofness and making wild guesses.
However, she was convinced that Samuel had been busy making preparations for the proposal. Who
knows, maybe it’s also part of his proposal to be cold toward me wittingly? Ha! I’m not the type of
woman who makes a fuss over such trivial matters.
Leaning her head on her arm while listening to the sound of water flowing as Samuel showered, she
gradually drifted off to sleep.
