“That’s great. Thank you, Ms. Smith.” Jacqueline clapped her hands happily.
Natalie leaned closer as she lowered her head and the former reached out to touch her eyes.
She ran her cold fingers around Natalie’s eyes. Her actions were gentle as if she were touching some kind of rare treasure, and she was reluctant to move her hand away.
“They really are beautiful. I really like your eyes. Ms. Smith, you have to take good care of them and not let anything happen to them, alright?” Jacqueline said gently.
However, for some reason, Natalie felt uncomfortable and couldn’t help but shudder upon hearing that.
But she did a great job of not showing it when she replied with a smile, “Of course. These are my eyes. And as a fashion designer, it’s only natural that I take good care of them.”
“Great.” Jacqueline seemed very satisfied with her answer and nodded.
Then, Natalie stood up and said, “Ms. Graham, since Stanley still isn’t here, I’m going to go to him. You should rest now. I won’t disturb you any further.”
I’m here to sound Jacqueline out anyway.
I didn’t get any information so there isn’t any reason for me to stay anymore.
Jacqueline didn’t try to stop her when she heard that Natalie was leaving. Instead, she said, “Okay. Goodbye, Ms. Smith.”
Natalie left after giving her a nod.
After she left, Jacqueline’s smile melted off her face and it was replaced by a cold look.
Then, she pulled open the drawer by her bed and took out a document file. The words ‘Corneal Damage’ were written on it and it stung her eyes.
Soon, she thought of something and a frightening smile appeared on her face as she glided her finger over the words.
After Natalie left Jacqueline’s ward, she made her way to the Neurology Department to meet Stanley.
I have to at least drop by to say hello otherwise it would be bad if Jacqueline asks Stanley if I came to see him.
“Hey, Stanley,” she said as she knocked on the door to his consultation room.
Stanley was busy writing something at his desk at that moment. When he heard her voice, he looked up in surprise and asked, “Why are you here?”
“I came to get some medicine,” Natalie lied, looking completely unfazed.
He quickly stood up and strode towards her. “You’re here to get medicine? Are you sick?”
“No. It’s the medicine for my arm,” she told him while rubbing her injured arm.
Stanley instantly heaved a sigh of relief. “Oh, is that so?”
Natalie then headed into the consultation room and he quickly went to pour her a cup of water.
“By the way, did you manage to gather information for last night’s incident? Any results?” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
She shook her head, feeling exhausted as she held the cup in her hands. “No. And I almost died this morning.”
“What?” Stanley crushed the paper cup he was holding upon hearing the news. The water in it drenched his hand. He didn’t even feel the water’s heat and his face had darkened drastically.
It was the first time Natalie had seen him being so furious. She couldn’t help but jump with fright. But just as she was about to say something, Stanley threw the paper cup and clasped her shoulders. “Nat, you’re not hurt, are you?”
“No. Mom saved me just in time,” she replied while shaking her head.
“Really? That’s great, then.” He then released his grip on her shoulder.
After taking a look at the time, Natalie said, “It’s getting late. I’ll get going now, Stanley.”
“Let me take you home,” Stanley said as he grabbed his car keys.
She waved her hands. “It’s alright. It’s not time for you to get off work yet. I can go back myself.”
Seeing that she was so insistent, he could only give up and put his car keys back to where they had been before. “Alright then. Give me a call when you’re home.”
“Okay,” Natalie responded before leaving his consultation room.
His face instantly turned cold the moment she left. Stanley then took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call connected not long after and he immediately shouted at the person on the other end, “Didn’t I tell you not to mess with Nat anymore? I haven’t even let you off the hook when you almost cost her her life yesterday. Yet you did it again today. I’ll definitely expose you if you do it again.”
