Dumping Him for His Uncle (Natasha and Zachary) novel Chapter 80

Zachary's body had only just begun to recover, and the doctor had advised him to stay in bed and rest.

Unsurprisingly, the instant Zachary opened the door, Xavier rushed straight at him.

"Get out! She's still unconscious!" Xavier yelled in a suppressed voice.

Even though he knew Natasha wouldn't wake up from the noise, he acted with the utmost caution. It showed just how attentive he was in caring for Natasha.

For a moment, neither of them moved, standing there in a silent standoff.

Julian quickly intervened. "Don't worry, Mr. Foster. Mr. Jones is here looking after Ms. Bradley."

His words made sense, and after some persuasion, Zachary reluctantly returned to his room. Although he was in bed, his mind was with Natasha.

Before long, Quentin appeared at the door. "I heard that Mr. Foster has woken up. I was wondering if I could have a word with him."

Julian more or less guessed that it had to do with Matthew, so he simply let him in.

No one knew exactly what Zachary said to Quentin, but it took about half an hour before the latter came back out.

"This matter will be left entirely to you to deal with, Mr. Foster. After all, this is your family's affair," Quentin said with a hint of resignation as he turned to leave.

Julian hadn't even had time to get comfortable in his seat before Zachary sent him off to check on Natasha.

As night deepened, the wind howled outside the window, but the room remained peaceful and quiet.

"Zachary has been awake for a while now. Why are you still asleep?" Xavier whispered to the unconscious Natasha.

His eyes were filled with sorrow. As he gently wiped her hand with a damp towel, Natasha suddenly pulled her hand away with a burst of strength.
