“What’s on your mind? Why’s your face so red?” Sebastian pinched her cheek playfully.
Glancing at his phone on the table lazily, he asked, “Who are you texting anyway?”
“Oh, just Brandon Larson.He was the one whe invited us to the party. Thanks to him, I had the opportunity to teach Lauren and Cassie a lesson today.”
As she spoke, Natalie typed out another text to Brandon to express her gratitude.
Sebastian observed her quietly, taking note of her swollen lips from his biting earlier.
Then, he stood up and tumed on all the lights in the room, flooding the apartment with light.Just then, his phone lit up again.
“Who keeps texting you so late at night?”
Natalie eyed Sebastian’s phone curiously.
But she didn’t connect the dots, thinking it was just a coincidence.
“The owner of the convenience store asked me to come in and restock the store tomorrow.”
Sebastian picked up his phone and saw that Natalie had sent texts to his business account, which was Brandon’s.
After a quick glance, he put away his phone.
Simultaneously, Natalie saw that the messages she had sent to Brandon had been read, but he didn’t reply.
Under her breath, she muttered, “Huh? Why didn’t he reply?”
Worried that Natalie might make the connection any second now, Sebastian hurriedly scooped her into his arms and carried her to her room.
“Ah! What’re you doing?”
Startled, she grabbed his clothes in a panic.
Sebastian laid her down on the bed gently then kissed her passionately.
The woman’s unique fragrance intoxicated him, making him want to conquer her even more.
He cupped her cheek gently, but he climbed atop her, holding her down.He started kissing Natalie even more passionately, his tongue dancing with hers.He tasted like mint, too.
Probably from the tooth paste.
After what seemed like an eternity, just as Natalie was beginning to think something might happen, the man suddenly pulled away.
Natalie’s eyes were shut tight.
The kiss made her feel dizzy.She lay on the bed weakly.
“Get some sleep,” Sebastian said gruffly, gently kissing her ear.
His eyes still burned with lust, but he pulled out the blanket and gently tucked her in.
Then, he kissed her on the forehead and asked, “By the way, when’s Hannah’s surgery?”
Natalie, who was cozily wrapped in the blanket, looked stunned.
Blushing, she muttered, “Tomorrow.”
“Okay.I’ll go with you tomorrow.”
Sebastian stroked her hair and gave her one last peck on the forehead before turning around to leave. He had kissed her just now only to distract her.But he almost lost control of himself…
The scorching sunshine filtered through the curtains. The faint smell of disinfectant wafted in the air.
It had been a few weeks since Natalie came to see Hannah.
She felt a little guilty about not being able to see her often.
Ever since Natalie started working, she had been dealing with unfortunate incidents that seemed to take all her time.
Hannah’s liver transplant surgery was scheduled for 10 o’clock today. Natalie still had half an hour to talk with her.
“Don’t be nervous. You won’t feel any pain after they administer anesthesia.”
Natalie smiled and combed Hannab’s gray hair.
Hannah gently patted Natalie’s hand and smiled at her.
“I have no fear, my little girl. know you’re busy with work. You don’t have to wait here for me.The nurses in the hospital are very considerate. You need to stop worrying about me.”
Tears welled up in Natalie’s eyes.
She knew Hannah was in so much pain, yet the old woman was smiling to make sure Natalie didn’t worry about her.
“Don’t worry about me.I’m not a child.”
Natalie couldn’t help but smile at her.
Hannah suddenly pouted and flicked her gaze to the door.
“That young man has been waiting outside for a long time.Why don’t you let him in?”
Natalie turned around and saw Sebastian leaning against the railing in the corridor.
His gaze occasionally flitted toward them to see if they were okay.
Natalie hadn’t figured out how to introduce him yet..
“Nice to meet you.”
Sebastian walked into the ward with a polite smile.He had changed into a brown windbreaker today.
The man looked handsome as if he had come straight out of a magazine photoshoot.
Natalie had never seen Sebastian in such clothes before.
She was taken aback for a moment.
After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “This is Sebastian.Well… You know about the marriage the Quinn family had arranged for me.” Hannah wasn’t aware of Natalie’s secret.
She only knew the Quinn family had arranged a man for Natalie and that she was already married. Hannah’s face broke into an ecstatic smile as she examined Sebastian’s face.
“Wow, what a handsome young man!” She patted Natalie’s hand.
“He looks like a good, decent man.Natalie, you are a lucky girl!”
Sebastian smiled and glanced at the clock on the wall.
“It’s about time.”
Natalie’s heart leaped to her throat when she saw the nurses wheeling Hannah into the operation theater.
“She will be okay, right?” she asked in a tremulous voice.
“Yes, everything will be fine.”
Sebastian patted her back comfortingly.
It was a long procedure that lasted all afternoon.
Hannah had to stay in the hospital for at least three weeks for observation to see if her body had adapted to the new liver.
After the operation, Hannah had to rest on the bed as the doctors administered an IV drip.
She needed someone to take care of her.
“I want to take a few days off and take care of Hannah.But I’m not sure if the company will agree.”
Natalie let out a weary sigh as she walked out of the doctor’s office.
“You should call them and explain your situation.I’m sure they’ll understand.After all, it’s a reasonable request,”
Sebastian suggested.
“But I have already taken many days off this month.” Natalie’s shoulders slumped with dejection.
“How do you know if you don’t give it a try?” Sebastian asked Natalie sighed and called Tiffany.
“You want to ask for leave? No problem at all.How many days do you need? How about two weeks?” Tiffany asked in a serious tone.
Natalie was taken aback.She thought Tiffany was mocking her.
“No, no, no! Thank you so much.” Natalie frantically shook her head.
“Forget I called.”
“No, I’m serious.How many days do you need?” Tiffany asked.
Brandon had called Tiffany earlier and spoken to her.
Therefore, she didn’t dare to frighten Natalie in any way.
Tiffany didn’t know much about Natalie, but she was shocked the CEO of the company had personally called her, instructing her to approve Natalie’s leave.
“Well, two days.Is that okay?” Natalie asked cautiously.
“Okay, okay.Sure. Your leave is approved.” Tiffany laughed.
Hannah recovered well after the operation.
The doctors said she would be discharged real soon.
Natalie had already taken several days off, so she had to return to work.
However, she didn’t work overtime and came to the hospital as soon as she got off work to check on Hannah.
During the day, she hired a nurse to take care of Hannah.
Initially she was against the idea of a full-time nurse, because she couldn’t afford it.
