Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

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.

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.

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."
