Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 209

Chapter 209: The Woman

Natalie was led into the operating room, and Justin was prepared to accompany her once he had changed into hospital clothes, matching those of the doctors and nurses.

Lying on the operating table, she glanced at him. He stood nearby, offering her an assuring gaze from across the room.

As she was turned onto her side and the doctors began their work, Justin stayed where she could see him. His presence seemed more effective than the anaesthesia in calming her nerves, allowing her to focus on him rather than the procedure.

As she continued to look at him, her mind started to dream something, which was more pleasant that her lips curved into a pleasant smile. She forgot being operated by doctors and lost herself in the imaginary world that was being played in her mind under the influence of the drugs.

The procedure lasted over an hour. Once it was complete, Natalie was moved to the recovery room, where she rested while Justin stayed by her side. It was as though he couldn’t risk letting her out of his sight, even though he knew there was nothing to worry about.

After the doctor confirmed everything was fine, Natalie was taken back to the VIP suite. The doctor informed her, "You may feel pain and discomfort at the procedure site for a few days, or possibly a week, but there’s no need to worry. You’ll be able to walk and move around, but we recommend you rest for at least two weeks for a better recovery."

Natalie nodded, and the doctor left.

Justin approached her bedside. "Do you feel better? Any discomfort?"

She shook her head, signalling she was fine.

"Close your eyes and rest," he said, gently adjusting the blanket over her. Just as he was about to step away, she reached out and held his hand. He turned back to look at her, meeting her tired gaze.

Without hesitation, Justin pulled a chair closer to her bed and sat down, letting her hold onto his hand. With his other hand, he gently caressed hers. "I’m not going anywhere. Sleep now," he said softly.
