Chapter 204: I Plan To Stay And Make You Suffer

The next morning, Justin and Natalie were preparing breakfast together when Justin brought up the topic.

"The bone marrow transplant we discussed last night..." he began, glancing at her to gauge her reaction. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

Preoccupied with cooking, she responded casually, "When do I need to do it?"

He hesitated a little to see how she didn’t question him about anything and agreed simply by trusting him blindly.

"Today. You’ll need to check in at the hospital, follow some instructions from the doctors, and they’ll decide the timing for the procedure," he explained. "After that, you’ll need to rest for a few days. You’ll be able to leave the hospital the same day, but I’d prefer if you stayed to recover. Though it’s just an inserting needle in the bone and retrieving a bone marrow, it can be painful and you might meed to rest after that."

She nodded and gave him a reassuring look. "Then, before we go, I’ll visit Grandpa to let him know I’ll be away for a few days, and then I’ll stop by the office to hand over important work to Ella and Dan."

"I’ll come with you to visit Mr. Ford and then drop you off at the office. I’ll finish up my work and come back to pick you up."

"Sounds good."

After breakfast, they headed to visit Albert.

"I haven’t seen Grandpa since his wedding anniversary, and he hasn’t called or messaged me either," Natalie said with a hint of worry as they walked toward Albert’s hospital room. "I’m sure he must feel guilty about what happened that day."

"I visited him yesterday, so don’t worry," Justin said.

She looked at him, surprised. "You did?"

He nodded. "He’s doing fine. He knows you’re strong, and he trusts that you are fine with me by your side," Justin assured her.

"True," Natalie sighed. "With someone named Justin Harper by my side, I’m sure Grandpa feels relieved. Should I thank you for easing my worry?"

"I only accept intimate gestures as thanks." He gave her a suggestive look. "When can I expect one?"

She shot him a mocking smile. "Forget it. As you said, we’re husband and wife—no need for thanks."

"I might make exceptions in certain situations."

"No need. Just follow what you once told me."

He let out a helpless sigh. "What can a husband do when his wife is so stubborn and loves to torment him?"

"This wife is like that. You still have a chance to run away, you know."

"Not gonna happen," he replied firmly. "I’ll make up for all this torment when the time is right—and I’ll get it all back with interest." His words were unmistakably suggestive, and she quickly understood his meaning.

"Oh, look, we’re here." She hurried to the room, leaving Justin behind.

Her forehead creased as soon as she saw them, especially Briena. Does this bitch have some kind of sensor that alerts her when I’m coming? Just seeing her bitch face has ruined my day.

Just then, a man appeared beside Natalie and placed his arm around her shoulders. She looked up at Justin as he asked, "Does my handsome face make up for your almost-ruined day after seeing some... unpleasant faces?"

Natalie was surprised that Justin seemed to know exactly what she was thinking. Did I say it out loud? I was clearly thinking it in my mind. But she nodded anyway. "It did. So stay in my sight, so I see nothing but your ever-so-handsome face."
