A Cue for Love (Natalie and Samuel)

A lump began to form in Natalie’s throat. It was after much effort did she manage to stop herself from crying.

On the rooftop, Samuel had saved her. It was her turn to save him!

She did not know how much time she had left, but if there was even a tiny chance of recovery, she would give everything to treat Samuel. At the thought of Samuel’s body deteriorating, it was as though a hole had been ripped out of Natalie’s chest. It was so heartbreaking that even breathing felt painful.

She could not afford to be careless, nor could she afford to waste any more time. From the shelf, she pulled out some herbs and inspecting them carefully before placing them together.

After going downstairs, she went to the kitchen, brought out a clay vessel and began to brew the medication.

After taking out the remains from the decoction, Natalie poured out a bowl of brown liquid.

Her reddened eyes did not escape Gavin’s notice. He could not help but feel concerned for her. “Um… are you…”

“I’m fine, Gavin.” Natalie cupped the hot bowl in her hands. “It’s Samuel. There are some issues with his body. But it’s okay. I will find a way to heal him, I promise.”

Natalie continued, “I can’t take care of the kids for now. I would need your assistance when it comes to that.”
