Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 112: You Are Stuck With Me Forever

At the crack of dawn, Natalie stirred awake, feeling anxious that it was already morning. Panic set in—she was late to see her grandpa, and she feared he had been taken away from her.

Justin, who was still holding her, sensed her movements and pulled her closer. "It’s not morning yet. Sleep!"

Natalie snuggled against him and drifted back to sleep.

When she finally woke up, she found herself alone in bed. Seeing the bright sunlight outside the window, she immediately jumped out, her thoughts racing to her grandpa.

Just then, Justin stepped out of the bathroom and noticed her panic. "He hasn’t been moved from the ICU yet. It’ll take another hour," Justin informed her before she could dash out of the room.

Natalie stopped at the door and turned to look at him. He was ready in new sets of clothes, looking all fresh and ready.

"You’d better freshen up before going out. The way you look right now might shock the weak-hearted people in the hospital. And don’t let your grandpa see you like this, or he’ll think I, you husband, bullied you the entire night."

Surprised by his comment, Natalie glanced at her reflection in the glass of the painting hanging next to the door. Though not a mirror, it gave her a clear hint of her current appearance.

Her hair was a tangled mess, as if a storm had passed through it. Her eyes were red and swollen, with faint shadows under them, and her face looked pale. She was no less than a ghost straight out of a horror movie.

"The bathroom is over here."

Justin’s words snapped her out of her shock. She avoided looking at him and hurried to the bathroom, passing by him as if he weren’t there.

Justin chuckled at her embarrassed state. "Don’t worry. Even if you look like a ghost, you make the prettiest one."

The bathroom door closed, and Natalie stared at herself in the mirror. He’s right. I might actually scare people away. I don’t want Grandpa to have another attack.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"What?" she asked.

"There are clothes and some essentials for you. You might want to take them unless you prefer changing in front of me," she heard him say.

He’s really enjoying this, she thought with a frown and walked over to the door. Opening it slightly, she only put her hand out. "Give it to me."

Justin handed her the bag, and she quickly closed the door again. Inside the bag were not just clothes but also daily necessities. After a quick shower, she pulled out the dress from the bag.
