Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Why Didn’t You Tell Me?

Natalie looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"But first, you have to listen to me. You trust me, don’t you?" Justin asked softly.

She nodded. "Then take me to her."

"Soon. I will, but first, let me take you back to the room," Justin insisted, lifting her gently into his arms. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

Helpless and weak, she allowed him to carry her, closing her teary eyes as the tears continued to fall. On the way back, Justin noticed Aiden Shaw watching them from a distance. Aiden shook his head slightly, silently warning Justin not to be reckless and not to do anything that might endanger Caryn’s health.

Justin didn’t react and silently carried Natalie back to the suite. He placed her carefully on the bed, ensuring she was comfortable.

Feeling the strain and pain in her back, Natalie didn’t resist. She knew she shouldn’t have walked, and now she was paying the price for it.

Before Justin could call for help, the doctor arrived, clearly sent by Aiden Shaw to check on her.

The doctor examined Natalie carefully, paying particular attention to the procedure site on her back. He frowned and asked, "Are you feeling much pain?"

She shook her head, but Justin quickly interjected. "She’s in pain."

The nurse prepared a shot of painkillers and administered it gently. "This will ease your pain and also help you sleep," the nurse assured her.

The doctor spoke next, his tone serious. "Ms. Natalie, you weren’t supposed to walk tonight, at least. Please rest properly and follow our instructions. The site of the procedure is delicate, and we don’t want any complications later."

Natalie nodded quietly, seeing the doctor’s stern expression.

Leo, who was present, approached Justin and handed over both Natalie’s and Justin’s cellphones, which had been confiscated earlier. Aiden Shaw had evidently decided there was no longer a need to hold onto their phones, given how the situation had shifted entirely.

As Leo handed Justin his phone, a message notification popped up. It was from Aiden Shaw. Justin glanced at it briefly before setting the phone aside.

Once the doctor and Leo left, Natalie turned her gaze toward Justin. He was sitting at the edge of the bed, holding her hand and gently caressing it. "Is the pain easing now?" he asked softly.

She took a deep breath, grateful for the quick relief the medication provided. The pain, which had been unbearable moments ago, was now finally subsiding, allowing her to breathe more easily.

"I saw a woman today," Natalie began in a weak voice. "She looked exactly like my mother. The woman I suppose is the patient I donated my bone marrow to."
