Chapter 996 What Should I Call You
Natalie sat there obediently, without making a noise.
In a deep voice, Samuel uttered, “I’ll go look for a first aid kit to treat your wound.”
“Mhm.” Natalie released her grip on the man’s shoulder and sat there meekly.
Even though the countless pieces of evidence had proven that the man before her was not Samuel, she had an answer deep within her heart since a long time ago.
She was unusually convinced that she was right about her perception—In this world, there was no way she could find another man who would treat her like how he does.
Not long after Samuel headed out, he returned with a first aid kit in his hand.
Reaching out and pulling Natalie closer, the man used a pair of scissors and snipped off her sleeve to reveal her wound. At the sight of flowing blood, he quickly placed a piece of gauze and applied pressure on the wound.
Throughout the process, Natalie did not flinch a bit and merely stared at him firmly.
“Do you not feel warm with the mask on?” Natalie chuckled.
“Not at all,” Samuel replied. “If it hurts, I’ll do it more gently.”
“Mmm.” Natalie’s red lips curved slightly, and a tender look washed across her face.
After Samuel finished treating her wound, she grabbed him by his shirt. “I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?” The man turned around and stared at her intently.
“I just want to let you know… that I don’t need your protection from now on.” Natalie smiled.
Despite sensing the fury blazing within him, she continued to make things worse. “You heard what I just said, right? So, you should keep a distance from me lest Jerome gets angry.”
Nonetheless, Samuel remained in his position, exerting more force on his arms to pull himself physically closer to Natalie.
Purposely grabbing the wound on her arm, she blinked and moaned, “Ouch… It hurts. You just hurt my wound!”
Mildly stumped by her complaint, Samuel hastily tried to check on her injury.
While the man had his attention on her wound, Natalie took advantage of the opportunity and stretched her hand out to take off the mask on his face.
When Samuel felt his face more breathable, he also spotted the silver mask he had been wearing appear on Natalie’s hand. Instantly, he stared at her, unconvinced.
“Now…” Glee emerged in Natalie’s tone. “Should I call you Samuel or Xander?”
