Sleep Talking

Sensing Natalie’s hand wrapped tightly around his, Samuel stayed still and allowed her to do as she
pleased.
Natalie, who was experiencing a high-grade fever, attempted to ce Samuel’s hand next to her
cheek.
Samuel did not anticipate Natalie to tug on him so forcefully. The momentum caused him to fall in her
direction. He would have ttened her with half his bodyweight if he had not been supporting himself
with his other arm.
Just as he was about to pull away, he heard Natalie mumbling.
“Why… leave me? Why… abandon me… Why… Why?”
Samuel had to lean his ear close to her lips for some time before he could make out what she was
saying as she was stammering.
He stood up with mixed emotions churning within him after listening to her sleep-talking.
As Natalie was grasping one of his hands, he could not help but caress her cheeks with his other hand.
He did not abandon her.
If he had a choice, he would never be willing to leave her behind.
However, how upset would she be if he told her the poison inside his body, which was initially subdued,
rpsed because he saved her?
As a result, he had no choice but to make the decision that would hurt her less after weighing the risks
and benefits.
Samuel’s charming eyes gleamed as he said, “I did not abandon you. I will always stay by your side for
the rest of my life…”
And just like that, he did not go anywhere and apanied Natalie inside the ward until her fever
completely subsided.
When her high temperature receded, she gradually regained her senses and groggily opened her eyes.
A cold and expressionless silver mask came into focus.
She was not at all surprised. After all, she could only sessfully provide the treatment to Yvette
because of him.
However, the next second, she noticed she was holding his hand, cing his hand close to her face
with their fingers interlocked.
She felt as if her mind had exploded at that instant. What in the world am I doing?
Guilt-ridden, she hastily let go of Samuel’s hand.
The movement startled Samuel, who was resting with his eyes closed.
“You’re awake?”
“H-How long was I asleep?” Natalie bit her red lips and nced at Samuel with a confused look. “W-
Why is your hand…”
He knew she was uninformed, so he did not want to trouble her with that matter. Thus, he exined,
“You’re wound is inmed, and you experienced a high-grade fever close to forty degrees Celsius. You
grabbed my hand and called out another man’s name in a daze. Perhaps you took me for somebody
else?”
It did not take long for Natalie to figure out who she had imagined Xander to be.
Realizing the inappropriateness of her abrupt action, she muttered a heartfelt apology to Samuel, “I’m
sorry. I did not do that on purpose… I don’t remember anything or have any recollections.”
He chuckled. “I understand. You were unconscious and did not intend to take advantage of me.”
She grasped the corner of the nket and knitted her brows. “Xander, I already said I’m sorry!”
“I’m just telling the truth.” At the sight of Natalie’s blushing cheeks due to her fury, Samuel slightly
curled the corner of his lips and uttered, “Don’t tell me you intended to take advantage of me?”
“I don’t know what you’re saying!”
If Xander had not been her savior, she would have ignored him right then and there.
She pulled away the nket, nning to get off the bed and check on Yvette’s condition. Logically,
Yvette should be fine now since she was cleared of the poison. Still, Natalie could not suppress the
urge to see if Yvette’s allergy was recovering as she expected.
However, Samuel ced his hand on the nket just as she lifted the covers.
“My wound has been stitched, and my phone was taken away. I’ve also rested sufficiently, so why are
you still stopping me?” Natalie red at him.
She knew he had her best interest at heart, but she was reluctant to ept the kindness he was
showing her for no reason.
Natalie felt as if that was all a scheme, waiting for her to be lured into the trap and eliminated instantly
when the time was right.
