Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 363

The rain pelted down harshly.

Natalia crouched in place, her whole body shivering.

The director brought a group of workers over, desperately concerned. “Are you all right? Are you okay?”

She nodded.

“Your hands are injured? Quick! Get her to the hospital!”

Natalia’s memory of what happened afterwards was fuzzy.

She didn’t know what was going on, only that her head was swimming as everyone bandaged her wounds with ragged strips temporarily. But the blood still flowed, as if to drain her dry.

Not long afterwards, she fainted.

Meanwhile.

In the Kawn household.

Wilhelm met with Emma.

Both hair samples had been tested for DNA and the results were out.

But said results surprised everyone.

Because the results showed that it wasn’t just Natalia who was Yvonne’s daughter, but Jessica also had a blood relationship with the Kawn family.

At that, both Wilhelm and Emma were taken aback.

How could it be?

Yvonne had passed on, so the DNA samples taken for the test, aside from Natalia and Jessica’s, included Wilhelm’s.

There was one generation between them, but under close calculations, they could still produce results.

But the results were – Natalia and Jessica both had a quarter of the Kawn family bloodline.

What was going on?

Old man Kawn and Emma fell silent as they pondered the conundrum.

At that moment, he suddenly received a phone call.

It had been from Selena. She told him of Natalia’s incident, to which Wilhelm shook, asked for the hospital’s address, and rushed out.

On the other side, Archie had also received the news.

Annie International was investing in the show, and Natalia’s relationship with him had long since gone public.

So, the moment the incident occurred, the producers called him right away.

Archie had been the first to arrive. When he had, Natalia hadn’t woken up yet.

The doctors checked her and found she had a fever of 39.5 centigrade. Thankfully, they gave her a shot, and it had already died down.

As for the wound on her hand, because she’d used too much force, the wires had cut through her palm like a knife, severing two of the most major blood vessels and tendons in her palms. That was why she’d bled out so much.

Wounds like that would have to heal over a month or two.

And even healed, it would affect her life going forward. Unable to use too much force, unable to lift heavy objects, and such.

Furthermore, when Natalia’s wires had snapped, her body had swayed and slammed into the cliffside, causing a fractured hip.

With all those wounds together, it was very serious.

The cast hadn’t thought she’d be hurt this badly. Looking at Archie’s shadowed face with a man-eating scowl plastered on top, none of them dared speak, or even breathe loudly.

The director, Howard, led the prop group up timidly.

“Mr. McCarthy, these two were the staff members responsible for the props today. But I’ve already asked them about it. The wires Natalia used were fine in the morning but snapped when she used them in the afternoon. Foul play is clearly involved, and it shouldn’t involve them.”

Howard intended to plead the case for the two staff members.

After all, they really weren’t to blame.

Nobody knew how, just an hour ago, it had been fine, but just over lunch when Natalia arrived, things had gone wrong.

They couldn’t have checked every time someone used it. Typically, you checked your props all at once when the shooting was over for the day. That was where the mishap had come in.

But Archie couldn’t have cared less about it now.

He glared darkly at the two crew members and barked, “Brian!”

Brian walked over right away.

“Sir.”

“Take them and interrogate them!”

“Yes, sir!”

Seeing those two get taken away, Howard opened his mouth, seemingly to say something, but swallowed his words.

Not long afterwards, Wilhelm arrived.

Bursting in, he demanded, “Where’s Natalia? How is she?”

Archie frowned and didn’t speak.

At that moment, the doctor came out of the surgery room, walking right in front of Archie and reported, “Mr. McCarthy, the wounds have been stitched up, but blood vessels and tendons have both been severed. For this period of time, she mustn’t do anything with her hands, and she especially mustn’t lift heavy objects. You have to keep this in mind.”

The hospital had been established by the McCarthy family, so the doctors naturally knew Archie.

Archie’s face sank even further as he nodded.

Hearing about severed blood vessels and tendons, Wilhelm went ashen and his eyes rolled back, almost fainting.

Thankfully, Emma was there to hold him up and feed him his medicine. Helping him sit down to the side, he recovered slowly.

Archie didn’t have time to spare wondering why he’d come over. Knowing that he could see Natalia now, he went over right away.

Natalia had a VIP suite.

In the white room, she laid peacefully in bed, eyes closed, pale as a wraith.

Archie sat down next to her and tugged back the covers, looking at the wound on her hand.

Both hands had been wrapped tight by bandages and the wounds weren’t really visible.

But he still peered closely, as if he could see how hurt she was through the layers of cotton.

“Why are you standing in my way? Don’t you know who I am? Let me in!”

Old man Kawn’s angry voice sounded from outside.

Frowning, Archie got up and walked out.

“Are you here for some reason, old Mr. Kawn?”

Wilhelm looked at him, put away his temper, and rumbled, “I’m going in to see Natalia.”

Archie’s face was sullen and didn’t look pretty.

“Sorry. She needs rest right now, and nobody can go in.”

Wilhelm floundered.

Pausing, he looked at the cold and hostility in the man’s eyes, and seemed to understand something.

He hurriedly explained, “You don’t think I did this, do you, Archie? I’m old, so what would I target her for? She’s a child to me!”

Archie sneered.

“What wouldn’t you do for your baby granddaughter? Only few days ago, Natalia embarrassed Jessica in front of everyone, then this happened. Do you think it’s possible to have me not suspect you even a little?”

“…”

Wilhelm knew that there was no getting Archie to believe him at a time like this no matter how he explained it.

So he sighed.

“Fine. Don’t believe me. But I really just want to look at her. If you’re worried, just let me look in on her from the door. Just one glance. Will that do?”

Archie frowned.
