NovelAppChapter 192
Natalie had a mixed feeling inside her as she felt Christopher’s pulse.
It’s most probably a congenital illness.
She reckoned that he had to have received multiple treatments throughout the years. Hence, he
seemed like any other normal human from the outside.
However, this innate illness was like a timed bomb to Christopher, and nobody knew when it might be
triggered one day.
“You… You must have suffered a lot since young because of your illness, right?” Natalie asked without
thinking.
Christopher paused at her question.
Not many people knew about his illness.
Not even his mother, whose only wish was for him to live, knew. She cared about his achievements and
social status, yet she had no idea of the suffering his illness caused him.
“Your mother could’ve been harmed by someone when she was pregnant with you. That’s why your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbody is so weak,” Natalie added. “Which also might be why your lung disease got worse.”
Disbelief flashed through the depths of Christopher’s eyes.
He never expected the woman to figure out everything about his lung disease by just feeling his pulse.
Not to mention, she also guessed correctly about his mother having been drugged.
“Precious herbs like snakeblood fruit and dragonblood fruit can help with managing the symptoms.
However, it won’t be able to treat the root cause. Moreover, you’ve been using this method for more
than ten years. Your body has likely already built up an immunity due to having taken other types of
medicines in the past.”
Natalie continued, “That’s why you’re in more excruciating pain than any other person with a similar
condition would be. That’s why you’re so determined to get that snakeblood fruit no matter what. You’re
hoping desperately that it can relieve
the pain and suffering you’re going through.”
Christopher fixed Natalie with a firm stare before abruptly reaching out and grabbing her throat.
“Do you really know how to cure me?”
Natalie nodded her head seriously, resisting the urge to choke.
“Yes.”
“Really?” Christopher frowned.
“This illness has been with you for so long. You should know that I’m not lying.” Natalie stared at him
with a convincing gaze. “But I’ll need some time to work on the prescription. Three days at least.”
“Three days?” Nicholas interrupted. “You could run away in three days’ time. Or you could reveal Mr.
Collins’ illness to the world.”
Christopher let go of Natalie just as she was about to speak up and defend herself.
“I trust her.”
“Mr. Collins.”
“I said, I trust her.”
Natalie rubbed her reddened neck, a sigh of relief escaping her mouth.
“Your illness is not as bad as you think. Besides, I have my principles. I don’t take my patients for
granted.”
Christopher stared at her deeply.
She did not give much thought to that stare. Instead, she merely nodded her head in response.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’ll head to the Collins residence for your treatment in three days, Mr. Collins. Please excuse me for
now.”
Nicholas was not willing to send Natalie off just yet, but refrained from doing anything to stop her under
Christopher’s watchful stare.
“It’s your first time meeting that woman, Mr. Collins. Do you really trust her?”
“Nicholas, send someone to follow her..” Christopher instructed in a neutral tone. “If she doesn’t find me
after three days as promised, then use some unforgettable ways to let her know the consequences of
messing with me.”
“Understood.”.
Nicholas left.
Natalie, unaware of the conversation that had gone on between Christopher and Nicholas, headed off
to find Yandel as soon as she left.
Yandel hurriedly walked over to her. “Boss, where did you go? Why are you so late?”
Natalie mentioned nothing about her encounter with Christopher as she did not want to worry Yandel.
“I got lost.”
“As long as nothing bad happened.”
Yandel was still frowning even though he now had reassurance that Natalie was safe.
“Boss, you were right! That girl was eyed by those rich bastards once she left the stage. Her clothes
were even ripped off. Luckily, our people managed to save her…”
