Chapter 209

Natalia didn't utter a word, merely wrestled free from his grasp.

"Just take the medicine, okay? I've unblocked your number. Call me if you need anything."

Hamilton, however, clasped her wrist once more.

But before he could speak, his phone suddenly rang.

He took it out to glance at the screen.

It displayed "Eveleen's caregiver."

Both stiffened for a moment.

Natalia chuckled, shaking off his grip and heading for the door.

Hamilton promptly ended the call and hurried after her, grabbing her again.

"Answer me."

Natalia remained silent, the ringing phone sounding like a death knell.

Natalia's gaze fell upon Hamilton's phone, "You better take that call."

Hamilton paused, then assured, "Don't worry, regardless of what happens tonight, I'll sort things out."

Natalia didn't respond.

Hope was slim, now even slimmer.

Hamilton frowned at her, "Don't you trust me?"

"It's not about trust, Hamilton. Regardless, thanks for everything today."

Hamilton's expression soured.

But eventually, he answered the call.

"What happened?"

"Mr. Fowler, Ms. Schafer was stabbed in the chest by a suddenly aggressive patient. She's currently in critical condition."

Hamilton's face darkened considerably.

He glanced involuntarily at Natalia.

Natalia clearly heard the voice through Hamilton's phone.

She stood still, nearly amused.

Seems her lack of hope was justified.
