SWNOVELS Chapter 48
"We're not having the meeting today," Tobias said.
"But today's meeting is very important," Benjamin replied.
"Postpone it no matter how important it is," Tobias did not hesitate when he answered.
"Yes, Mr. Whitlock." Benjamin was surprised as he stepped out of the ward. This was the first time Tobias was postponing a meeting because of personal matters.
Natalie woke up when it was almost dinner time. All she saw were patches of white when she opened her eyes.
She reached out to rub her eyes. Where was she?
She caught a glimpse of the surgical tape on the back of her hand. She even had an injection?
"Awake?" Natalie was startled by a flat voice.
She followed the source of the voice and spotted Tobias sitting next to her. He was wearing a lavish white shirt and it made him look elegant.
"Why are you sitting next to me? Don't you think that I'm dirty?" Natalie gnashed her teeth as soon as she noticed Tobias.
Tobias was silent for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Natalie," Tobias continued, "I misunderstood you."
"What's the point of apologizing?" Natalie raised her eyebrows and added, "It's no use crying over spilled milk."
"You're right, Idiot Girl," Tobias replied.
"How dare you check my phone!" Natalie was furious.
"I didn't mean to." Tobias was unmoving.
Natalie snorted coldly.
"Fishnet stockings won't ward off men."
"Yeah, it seems that it can't ward you off. It looks like you love it. Otherwise, why did you look so turned on yesterday?" Natalie mocked Tobias.
Tobias coughed and replied, "I don't have such a bad taste and I don't like it. What I'm trying to say is that some men may like it, so don't do stupid things like this next time."
Natalie instantly understood when she heard Tobias. It was no wonder that a lot of men were leering at her yesterday. She finally solved the mystery.
She would no longer believe all the nonsense on websites.
At the same time, the hospital staff entered the ward with a food trolley. There were desserts, soup, pasta, vegetables, meat, and fruit on the trolley. "Leave it," Tobias ordered lightly.
The hospital staff placed the food on a small dining table in front of the bed and left.
Natalie began to wonder whether she was admitted to a fake hospital. She was admitted before and she needed to go to the hospital canteen to get food for herself. It was usually some leftover pasta with a scoop of greasy vegetables and even the meat was usually dripping with oil.
Since when did the hospitals start serving good food? After pondering for a moment, Natalie finally understood that Tobias was probably behind it. She guessed that he spent a lot of money on it.
No wonder this ward looked different from the usual wards she saw.
It was spacious and expensive-looking, There was only a single large bed in the whole ward.
Tobias picked up the plate of pasta and used a fork to stab some of the pasta noodles. He instructed, "Have some."
Natalie glared at him and retorted, "Do I look like I'm hadicapped? I can eat by myself."
Tobias interjected placidly, "Your right hand is probably numb right now after a whole afternoon of IV drip. I'll feed you."
It was then when Natalie realized that her right hand was indeed numb.
She might as well let him feed her since he wanted to do so. This man should suffer for what he did to her the previous night.
Natalie parted her lips with an enjoyable look on her face. Tobias sent a mouthful of pasta into her mouth.
"Oh my god, it's delicious," Natalie murmured with her mouth full. She realized for the first time that hospital food could be delicious.
"Don't think that I will be grateful to you after you fed me," Natalie's cheeks were bulging as she muttered, "I swear that I'll never see you as a good guy after what you did to me yesterday."
