Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 236

Natalia held him tightly and buried her head on his shoulder.

Feeling the attachment of the girl in his arms, Archie hugged her waist more tightly and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

"Well."

Natalia nodded, with a twang in her voice. "I'm fine."

How could she be fine?

Her palm kept bleeding. Unlike Archie's hands that were full of calluses because he often used sports equipment, Natalia's hand was soft.

She had never done such intense exercise, so her tender hands were badly worn after she held the rope, swung up the cliff and climbed for a long time.

She wouldn't have been able to make it here if it hadn't been for the numbness in her hands.

Archie understood it so he felt more worried.

He was so distressed that he couldn't even blame her for her carelessness.

When they reached the ground, Natalia finally lost all her strength and fell into a coma. Archie untied the rope around her waist and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the ambulance?"

"It is parked by the roadside. Doctor Hugh is also there."

Hearing that, Archie strode toward the ambulance with Natalia in his arms.

*****

Natalia had no idea about how long she had been in a coma.

When she was in a daze, a man with a strong British accent had her wounds dressed.

She was in a warm embrace.

The familiar fragrance and breath made her feel relieved. The pains seemed to be under her skin and deep in her soul.

"It hurt…"

She groaned.

Archie held her in his arms and gave a cold gaze at Doctor Hugh.

"It hurt. Didn't you get it?"

Doctor Hugh said helplessly, "I can't give her painkillers. She was injected with some cyanide. If she had painkillers, it would produce some unnecessary side effects in her. If you don't mind, I can use them."

"No need!"

Archie answered coldly, and held the girl tightly.

"Natalia, hold on. It won't hurt soon."

Natalia's lips went pale. Hearing his voice, she pursed her lips and stopped crying.

Archie reached out to wipe the sweat on her forehead. Looking at her weak and pale appearance, he felt heartbroken.

He wished he could stand the pains in her place.

Just then, the phone rang.

Once he picked up, Nancy's voice came, "Mr. McCarthy, Jessica did that. She knows that Mrs. McCarthy has escaped, so she has her men searching everywhere."

Archie sneered. "Searching? Why does she have the nerve to catch my wife?"

Nancy paused for a moment, "I know what to do."

When the phone was hung up, Doctor Hugh, who was sitting opposite, heard their dialogue and felt a little frightened.

"Archie, calm down. Though the people kidnapped your wife, fortunately, she is safe and sound now. You can just catch that woman and leave the innocent alone."

Archie looked at Doctor Hugh coldly, "Leave the innocent alone? Do you know who kidnapped my wife?"

Not knowing much about Natalia, Doctor Hugh subconsciously asked, "Who?"

"Her sister."

Doctor Hugh's blue eyes widened and his mouth opened in surprise.

"Do you believe that her family is innocent?"

Doctor Hugh was silent.

If they were sisters, their parents wouldn't know that they were on bad terms with each other?

That was impossible.

He sighed and said nothing more.

Natalia in Archie's arms fell asleep. Archie looked down at her, with softness and distress in his eyes.

Doctor Hugh was even more surprised when seeing that.

"Archie, is this the girl you met five years ago in California?"

Archie nodded.

"She looks so small. Is she underage? You like underage girls?"

Archie's face suddenly darkened.

He frowned, "Do I look old?"

"You're almost 30 and she looks less than 20."

Archie was lost for words.

He didn't bother to say anything else.

Before long, they arrived at the hospital.

Although Doctor Hugh had her wounds dressed and done some check-up, Archie was still worried.

For fear of any injuries on her that couldn't be discovered easily, Archie had a female doctor check on Natalia's body. Only after that did he feel relieved.

*****

Natalia finally woke up at four in the afternoon.

When she woke up, the sunshine outside came in from windowsill. The air conditioning cooled the room.

She blinked for a few seconds before adjusting herself to the light and sat up with the help of her hands.

Unexpectedly, she felt a sharp pain in her hand.

It reminded her of the fact that she got injured in her palms. She raised her hands and saw them wrapped in gauze, like two bear paws.

Her face darkened slightly

The door was pushed open.

The tall man appeared at the door and his face turned gloomy as she sat up.

"Who allowed you to move?"

His tone was very bad, and he came over with a long face.

Natalia was stunned for a moment and felt a bit guilty.

"I, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to sit up. I feel a bit numb after lying down for so long."

She hastened to explain. Hearing that, Archie's expression softened.

But he didn't look very good.

Looking at her hands, he said in a cold voice, "Can't you ring the bell if you want to sit up? Why do you always try to show off your strength?"

Natalia was silent.

She stared at him with big dark eyes, a little wronged.

Archie called the doctor over to check Natalia's body.

Soon the doctor finished the physical examination. Natalia was fine, and the injection was cleared, but it would take her some time to recover from the injury in her hand.

Archie seemed relieved. After the doctor left, he sat down by the bed.

He pulled her hands that were dressed and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Natalia felt a bit distressed, so she shook her head very unhappily.

Archie raised his eyebrows, noticed that she was in a mood, and a smile flickered in his eyes.

However, he pretended to put on a long face and said in a deep voice, "Do you feel wronged?"

Natalia said nothing.

But her grievances were shown on her face.

"You're wronged. Have you ever thought of me? She is a woman that I can get rid of easily. Why do you risk your life to fight with her? If anything should happen to you, what should I do?"
