The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 

Yandel beamed as he felt proud working for a boss like Natalie. 

On the other hand, Jerome recalled how Natalie had protected him when they were children and realized that he shouldn‘t even be surprised by her words. 

Whereas for Ross, he clenched his fists tightly. His heart was filled with gratitude, and he was touched beyond words. 

She never forgot her promise to me. 

He made a vow to himself that he would never forget her kindness. He swore that he would follow and serve her for the rest of his life. 

Natalie played with her ponytail and lazily said, “When my arm recovers, it will be the end of Belle‘s happy days.”. 

After sending off Jerome and the rest, Natalie removed her hospital gown and bandage to apply medication on her wound. 

It was a challenge for her to put a bandage on herself. Despite a long struggle, she still failed to do it properly. 

Natalie hissed in pain when she accidentally scratched her wound. 

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Samuel slowly walked in. 

At that moment, Natalie‘s hospital gown was unbuttoned and left draping loosely over her shoulders, exposing her half–naked body. 

A dead silence followed as their eyes met. 

Natalie was flabbergasted. She quickly pulled up her hospital gown to cover her chest. 

As she was panicking, she forgot about the wound on her arm. She winced in pain as she accidentally hurt herself again. 

“Turn... Turn around!” she growled furiously. “Where do you think you‘re staring at? 

Turn around this instant!” 

Samuel gulped, his eyes darkening: 

In fact, he had already seen everything the moment he stepped into the ward. 

However, he still followed Natalie‘s instructions and turned around, trying to calm down the flame of desire within him. 

The image of her cleavage was tempting the wild beast within Samuel to break free from its cage of rationality. 

Natalie bit on her lip as she buttoned up her hospital gown. 

“Why didn‘t you knock before you enter?” 

“The door was left slightly open,” Samuel replied with a hoarse voice. “I thought you were asleep, so I didn‘t want to wake you.” 

“You...” 

Natalie wanted to scold him, but she held back because there was no point in doing so. After all, he had already seen everything. 

The best way to handle the situation was to pretend that nothing had happened. 

Natalie then buried herself in her blanket and slept with her back facing him. 

Samuel, on the other hand, glanced at her figure and walked toward the bathroom connected to the ward. 

He turned on the shower and stood under the running water to extinguish the burning desire within him. 

After staying under the water for some time, Samuel finally managed to calm himself down. 

The incident earlier was tormenting for Natalie, but even more so for him. 

She was right within his sight and reach, yet he could not lay his hands on her. 

Meanwhile, after Kenneth left the hospital, he met Yara in a private room at a cafe. 

The moment he arrived, Yara poured a cup of warm tea for him thoughtfully. 

“Grandpa, have some tea.” 

“Thank you.” Kenneth‘s mood was lifted when he saw the gentle and obedient Yara. “I don‘t understand what Samuel is thinking. You are obviously the one most suitable to be his wife.” 

Yara was pleased with his words. 

“Grandpa, I‘m most willing to be your granddaughter–in–law.” She then lowered her eyes and put on a disappointed expression. “I‘ve been trying my best to win Samuel‘s heart all these years, but nothing seems to work.” 

After taking a sip of tea, Kenneth let out a heavy sigh. 

“You‘re such a wonderful lady! How can Samuel be so blind? If it weren‘t for you back then, I would have died long ago!”
