Chapter 1005 Asking For Forgiveness
Needless to say, Jerry’s line of questioning rendered Jada speechless.
As the latter gazed at her injured son with her bloodshot eyes, she felt a wave of pain crashing over her again.
“Mom, everyone has to bear the consequences of their actions,” Jerry said as tears welled up in his eyes. “That’s what you and Dad have taught me from a young age, and it’s something I’ll never forget. I know I can be a pain in the neck at times, but your words of advice stick with me for life. Why is it that I can live by those rules, and yet you can’t?”
Jerry had made a tough decision between family and morality, and even though it seemed cold-hearted on his part, he was just as pained as Jada to see his family falling apart.
“Jerry…” Jada mumbled as her son’s words hit her hard.
“If only you, Dad, and Olivia haven’t forgotten that piece of advice…” Jerry muttered to himself before turning his back toward Jada, tears rolling down his cheeks. “You should get some rest, Mom. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. Just let me sleep.”
Meanwhile, in Pendant Hall, Natalie opened her eyes and was greeted by the sight of Samuel’s handsome face.
After recalling the night of passion they had, she instantly turned red as a tomato.
That said, she felt all warm and fuzzy inside and couldn’t help but smile as she continued gazing at Samuel.
Is there really only half a year left for him? Regardless, I’ll do whatever it takes to neutralize the poison inside him! I don’t want to be a widow! More importantly, I don’t want to lose Samuel!
Alas, Natalie was so deep in thought that it took her a while to realize Samuel had woken up.
“Are you thinking about the poison inside me?”
“Yes,” Natalie replied with a nod. “I believe there’s an equilibrium of life and nature, which means every poison has an antidote. The only problem is it’s much harder to pinpoint the poison in your body than to find antidotes for normal poisons. Then again, I won’t give up as long as there’s a chance of finding a cure. You aren’t allowed to give up either.”
Samuel looked at the woman lying on the pillow beside him.
Her eyes were clear and burned with a fierce determination to tackle whatever life threw at her. The aura around her glowed so brightly that it was almost impossible to take one’s eyes off her.
“Very well, then, Mrs. Bowers. Your wish is my command,” Samuel answered.
Natalie froze for a moment at the sound of that. Mrs. Bowers? Oh, my. We’ve only just received our marriage certificate, so it’s going to be a while before I get used to that title.
“What? Are you going back on your vows after our night together?”
“Of course not!” Natalie said with a chuckle. “I just need time to get used to it.”
With that, the couple promptly washed up and went downstairs for breakfast.
To Natalie’s surprise, Jesper, Billy, and Justin were all standing at the entrance.
She knew that as Samuel’s subordinate, Billy was in no position to go against his orders.
Justin, however, was a friend of both Samuel and her. She initially believed that Samuel had kept them both in the dark, but after the proposal, it soon became apparent that Justin was well aware of the latter’s condition.
Natalie puffed up her cheeks and began her interrogation. “Justin Yelverton, you’ve come to Loang too, huh? How dare you gang up with them to lie to me! I thought you had returned to Livingsfill! Now that the truth is out, you guys still have the cheek to show up here?”
Justin blinked at her and smiled sheepishly. “It wasn’t easy for me either, Natalie. I was in so much agony when I had to lie to you! Now that you and Samuel have sorted everything out, I’ve come to beg for your forgiveness! You can whip me if you like!”
