Even so, Benjamin only twitched his lips without uttering any word.

“Hmph! Benjamin, you won't make a fuss over that, right?” Natalie snorted.

“Of course, I won't. I'm only surprised because you mentioned that I was your comrade,” Benjamin responded. The

weariness on his face seemed to have faded when he flashed her a smile.

“What's so surprising? If not for you, I could have met my end and gotten buried among the debris!” she jokingly

snapped as she helped him back into the ward and lie on the bed.

Later, she twisted the lid of the thermal food jar and handed him a spoon. “Take some soup then. This is chicken

and ham soup. It's nutritious for you.”

“Okay!” Benjamin gladly responded.

He felt a ripple of warmth flow into his stomach after taking a few sips. Hence, he asked inquisitively, “You added

some herbs into it, didn't you?”

“Yeah, I've added in some to help quicken your recovery,” Natalie replied placidly and whipped out a bottle. “Since

I've attended to your wound before, I bet you're aware of my expertise in the medical field, right? I feel bad for

causing you to sustain severe injuries during the explosion unwittingly. These pills are produced via a special

concoction. I believe they are helpful in the healing of your wounds and the growth of your bones. It's also a token

of my sincerity to compensate you!”

Looking intently into the earnestness in Natalie's eyes, Benjamin took the bottle of pills from her and thanked her.

“Thanks. I'll take it then.”

“Do you have any plans after your recovery?” she asked him.

Benjamin elucidated, “I came all the way to Dellmoor to investigate Blaze's research base. Since it's been destroyed

by the explosion, there's no point for me to continue staying here. After my condition stabilizes, I'll leave and go

back to Loang.”

Natalie's curiosity was piqued. “If King is Blaze's leader, then your...”

“Sorry, I can't reveal anything about that.” Knowing that Natalie was curious about his superior, Benjamin's

expression darkened instantaneously. “Even if you've saved my life twice, there are still things I can't pour out to

you. I hope you understand that I have no choice due to my compliance with the commands and restrictions. At the

same time, I'm trying to protect you. You might place yourself in deep waters if you dig out more information.”

Natalie was not an assertive person. Hence, she respected Benjamin's privacy and did not continue pestering him

about that.

“Other than that, heed my advice and stay alert,” Benjamin advised as he fastened his gaze on Natalie.

“Undeniably, Blaze's research base was blasted because of you, so bear in mind not to let your guard down. It

might seem peaceful at the moment, but the worst is yet to come. I'm afraid both Blaze and King won't let you off

easily!”

Needless to say, Natalie was well aware that Benjamin was being sincere in giving his word of advice.

She nodded solemnly. “Thanks for warning me. I'll keep my guard up all the time. See you around then.”

“Okay!” Benjamin nodded.

Shortly after, Natalie rose and left the ward. The moment she stepped out of the hospital, she cast a look in the

direction of the burning sun. Well, I've opted for this path with unlimited obstacles. There's no turning back from the

very moment I made the decision.

Instead of going with the flow timorously, she talked herself into mustering up her courage. Unequivocally, she

would only be able to protect herself and her beloved ones if she became mightier.

A few days elapsed since then.

Every day, Samuel left home early in the morning and was only back after the night had fallen. Natalie assumed he

was busy making preparations for the proposal.

One day, it was almost the middle of the night when Samuel was eventually home.

Natalie grinned blissfully as she greeted him, “Ah! You're back!”

“Yeah!” Samuel tugged his collar with an unmissable hint of frustration in his eyes.

“Have you been busy lately?” Natalie questioned warily.

Nevertheless, Samuel only replied in a perfunctory tone, “Yeah!”

Before Natalie could ask further, he uttered emotionlessly, “I'm exhausted today, and I need a shower now. Go to

bed earlier, okay? Don't stay up late to wait for me.”

Seconds later, he stepped into the bathroom and closed the door.

Nevertheless, Natalie's mood was not spoiled at all.

If she had not overheard Justin talking on the phone earlier, she might have been bothered by Samuel's unusual

aloofness and making wild guesses.

However, she was convinced that Samuel had been busy making preparations for the proposal. Who knows, maybe

it's also part of his proposal to be cold toward me wittingly? Ha! I'm not the type of woman who makes a fuss over

such trivial matters.

Leaning her head on her arm while listening to the sound of water flowing as Samuel showered, she gradually

drifted off to sleep.
