“So, how are you going to repay my kindness?” Sean leaned in.
Natalie backed away instinctively and frowned at his sudden question.
Repay you? Well, of course I would. But I'm not going to let you decide after what happened last time.
“Let me treat you to dinner then, Mr. Sean,” she suggested after some time.
I really can't think of anything else besides treating him dinner.
Natalie assumed that he would object to the idea and asked for something else as a form of repayment.
To her surprise, he agreed to her proposal.
Natalie's jaw dropped when she heard his reply.
“Are you very surprised?” Sean chuckled.
“A little,” Natalie replied in disbelief.
Sean seemed to be in a good mood as he laughed heartily.
“I was going to propose something else, but I'm pretty sure you won't agree to it. Thus, I decided to settle on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdinner.”
Natalie smiled awkwardly at him and didn't say anything else.
Sean stood up and said, “Alright, I'll leave you to rest. I have to settle some matters, but I'll come back before
dinnertime.”
Natalie hummed in acknowledgment and watched as he turned to leave.
He stopped in his tracks when he arrived at the door. He seemed to remember something as he turned to face her.
“Oh, I heard that Shane's been looking everywhere for me. You won't tell on me, would you?”
“No, I won't.” Natalie shook her head solemnly.
I would have informed Shane without a doubt if I didn't meet those thugs or get saved by him. Since he saved my
life. I won't turn on him this time. Nonetheless, I would definitely tell Shane the next time.
“Great.” Sean grinned and left.
After he left, Natalie was left alone in the ward.
She relaxed and leaned back into her pillow.
To be honest, I've always been afraid of Sean. I have to be on high alert every time we're alone. Or else, I'd fall
easily into his trap.
Thank goodness he didn't do any harm to me this time. But I still wouldn't allow him to choose his ideal form of
repayment like the last time even if I owe him.
I wonder if he's changed or if he's planning something in the dark?
Natalie lowered her gaze as she couldn't understand Sean's intention. Soon enough, she gave up but didn't let her
guard down.
Whatever it is, I'll stay far away from him after dinner. I can't be with him for too long if I want to stay out of
trouble.
Just when she was lost in her thoughts, her phone rang.
She was pulled back to reality and quickly picked up the call. It was Sally.
“Nat, where are you? Why aren't you home yet?” Sally asked, worry evident in her tone.
Natalie smiled. “I'm at the hospital. What's up?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What? The hospital?” Sally repeated loudly.
“Yeah.” Natalie nodded.
“What's wrong, Nat? Why are you in the hospital? Is there something wrong with the baby? Which hospital are you
at? I'm coming over right now.” Sally headed toward the door of the villa as she asked.
Natalie caressed her belly and thought to herself. I don't feel any discomfort. So I guess my baby is fine even during
the time I passed out.
“You don't have come, the baby's fine. I merely passed out on the streets and someone rushed me to the hospital,”
Natalie explained.
Natalie had no intention to tell Sally about her encounter with the thugs, lest the latter get worried.
There would be serious consequences if Sally unintentionally told Shane.
“Do you know why you passed out?” Sally asked, her worry dissipating when she heard Natalie's steady tone.
Nonetheless, she still had some doubts behind the reason why Natalie fainted.
A hint of guilt flashed past Natalie's eyes. “Perhaps I've overworked myself for the past few days. Anyway, is there
something you would like to tell me?
“Oh yeah,” Sally answered. “An old woman came by the villa and wanted to meet you. But I told her to come back
another time since you weren't around and sent her away.”
