SWNOVELS Chapter 47
Tobias' face stiffened.
"When will the meeting start?" Tobias asked.
"In an hour or so," Benjamin replied.
"I'm going to the hospital now. I'll come back for the meeting later," Tobias said to Benjamin after a short pause.
Natalie was asleep when Tobias arrived at the hospital.
That morning, Aunt Lee discovered that Natalie fainted beside her bed and sent her to the hospital. The doctor mentioned that Natalie had a cold and she was overwhelmed by fatigue. Fortunately, it was not a big deal.
Tobias stared at Natalie's pale face as she curled up on the hospital bed. He recalled that he had sprayed her face with cold water to wash away her messy makeup the previous night. She had probably contracted a cold from that.
Guilt rose in Tobias' heart. He knew that he went too far.
When he first approached Natalie, they had agreed that they were just pretending to be married. He should not intervene with whatever Natalie did.
He could disagree with her but he should not lash out at her or even force himself on her.
Tobias was always good at controlling his emotions. He never gets emotional over anything. Even he could not understand why he was so furious and lost control the previous night.
At the same time, a nurse came in to give Natalie her IV drip. The nurse could not help but blush when she spotted Tobias standing beside the bed.
This man was so handsome!
Natalie's body was curled up and she wrapped her arms around herself. This made it difficult for the nurse to carry out her job.
Normally, the nurse would pull the patient's hand forcefully. However, the young nurse wanted to maintain her image as a gentle lady in front of Tobias. "Sir, isn't it hard for me to inject this young lady if she's like this?" the nurse asked Tobias.
Her voice was particularly sweet and gentle.
Tobias walked over and pulled Natalie's hand gently.
"Tobias, you're horrible!" Natalie shouted in her sleep. After that, she continued to close her eyes and sleep.
"Inject her," Tobias instructed briefly.
Tobias' hand was still holding onto Natalie's hand. His palm was huge and his fingers were slender.
The nurse's heart pounded. She was usually quick with her work but at the moment, she was extremely slow as she injected Natalie and started the IV drip.
Tobias let go of Natalie's hand after the nurse finished. Suddenly, Natalie pulled back her hand to hug it, causing the IV drip bag to shake violently.
Tobias was quick and he continued to hold Natalie's hand.
Suddenly, Natalie's mobile phone in her pocket rang.
Tobias was afraid of waking Natalie, hence he took out her mobile phone from her pocket and was about to switch it off. Suddenly, a message appeared in the notification. "Idiot Girl, how were the fishnet stockings last night?"
Tobias' jet black eyes darkened. He unlocked Natalie's mobile phone, which did not have a password.
It was a message from a seller from an online store. There were records of their conversation from the previous day too.
Idiot Girl: I want to buy some fishnet stockings. Can I get them today? We're in the same city.
Lovey Romance: Sure, dear.
Idiot Girl: I heard that fishnet stockings keep the men away? I'm going to the bar to sell some liquor but I'm afraid of being harassed. I want to wear fishnet stockings so the men would leave me alone." Tobias' eyelids twitched when he reached read the conversation. It was no wonder that Natalie's nickname was Idiot Girl online. She really was an idiot.
Lovey Romance: Dear, I guess it does shun some of the men away? The seller gave an ambiguous answer.
Tobias immediately understood everything. He suddenly felt like a blunt weapon just hit him in the heart.
At the same time, Benjamin came in and asked, "Mr. Whitlock, the board of directors are asking you. They want to know when the meeting will begin."
