SWNOVELS Chapter 49
Natalie felt that it was necessary to make her voice heard.
"I don't care what you think of me," Tobias was cool and added, "That's up to you."
Natalie felt like she just landed a blow on a piece of cotton and nothing rebounded back.
He was definitely a horrible guy. Her opinion of Tobias took a turn for the worse after what happened the previous night.
Tobias patiently fed Natalie the delicious food and then provided her with some soup.
After drinking the soup, Natalie touched her inflated abdomen and pointed at the fruits. She said, "I want to eat those fruits."
She felt like she deserved to order Tobias around.
Tobias passed her some fruits to eat.
Tobias pointed out, "You have a good appetite, unlike a normal patient."
"What does that have to do with you?" Natalie gnawed on the apple.
Tobias shook his head smilingly. He smiled for the first time that day.
He was extremely handsome and his smile was captivating. He bewitched the nurse who came in to check on Natalie. Coincidentally, Tobias received a phone call and he went out of the ward to answer his mobile phone.
"Is he your husband? He's so handsome," the nurse sighed while staring at Tobias' back.
The nurse did not know that the man in question was Tobias Whitlock, the famous president of YS Group.
Natalie rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Handsome? He's the ugliest man I've ever seen!"
The nurse felt that their aesthetic appreciation was not on the same page.
She took out a thermometer to measure Natalie's body temperature. Natalie spoke while waiting for the nurse to finish. She complained, "Miss, I think I had IV drip the whole afternoon, right? My hand's numb." The nurse pursed her lips and chuckled, "Yes, you did but your husband's hand should be even more numb. You kept burying your hands into your chest and he was the one who held your hand to prevent you from doing that."
Natalie was taken aback. She could not describe the feelings that were brewing in her heart.
"You should not feel touched," Natalie warned herself internally.
"Natalie, you can't be so soft- hearted. Have you forgotten how this man treated you yesterday!" she thought.
"Your temperature is quite stable." The nurse removed the thermometer and checked the reading. She continued, "We'll observe you for the night and you'll be discharged tomorrow." Shortly after the nurse left Tobias came in and said, "You'll stay here tonight and we'll go back tomorrow."
"We?" Natalie realized that something was wrong. She asked, "You aren't planning to stay here, are you?"
"Yes."
"You... Are you trying to take advantage of me again?" Natalie was shocked. There was only one bed in this ward!
Tobias' eyes narrowed. Why would this woman always assume that he would take advantage of her?
"Don't worry, I'm just going to sit next to you." Tobias' eyes darkened. He added, "I'm watching over you because you're sick and it's my fault. There's nothing more than that." Natalie replied with an "Oh".
Why did Tobias make her sound like she was making a fool of herself?
Natalie wrapped herself in the quilt firmly when she was going to sleep. She concluded, "I'm going to sleep."
"Good night." Tobias was sitting next to the bed with a perfect posture.
Initially, Natalie wanted to urge him to go back to the apartment to sleep but she stopped herself before she could speak.
Tobias treated her terribly the previous night but she was giving in. She could not be too kind. Natalie hated herself for being too soft. Natalie thought that it would be difficult for her to fall asleep because Tobias was just sitting next to her and she had slept throughout the day.
However, fatigue seemed to get to her and she fell into a deep slumber shortly after.
After Natalie fell asleep, Tobias checked his business email on his mobile phone. He was in the middle of reading an email when someone suddenly hugged him.
