Chapter From 3
Chapter 3
Josh tenderly held Natalie’s foot, placing her leg in his lap. He carefully cleaned the blood with a tissue. Then, using a cotton swab soaked in antiseptic, he dabbed it on her cut to stop the bleeding. The antiseptic stung, making her clench her fists.
Josh noticed her stiffness and asked, “Does it hurt?”
Natalie frowned and admitted, “Yes, a little bit.”
“Tell me if you feel pain.”
Still, Natalie didn’t say anything.
But it got easier as he continued since he was careful not to hurt her more.
Finally, he was done.
Just as Natalie breathed a sigh of relief, Josh picked up her shoe and began to help her put it on. He let go of her ankle and grabbed her foot. Natalie bit her lip and turned her head, trying not to look at this
It became a little awkward after Josh finished it. Martin and Owen, who had witnessed it all, were extremely shocked.
They thought, ‘Mr. President shakes hands with politicians all day. And he just help a girl put on her shoes”
About half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital
As soon as Natalie got out of the car, she saw a group of medical staff, who had been told to be ready, rush to her with a trolley. They looked at Josh respectfully and asked, “Is this the lady who was injured, siri”
Josh nodded. “Yes”
Then they took Natalie to check for any bone injuries, cleaned her wound, bandaged her up, and took her to a hospital room. Josh was right by her side through it all.
e it was because Natalie was too exhausted today that she fell asleep soon

It was evening when she woke up. The sun was setting, and the dim light came in from the window. The sunset glow in the distance looked like a burning flame.
Natalie suddenly found that there was another person in the mom.
Josh was seated by the window, charming and noble. He was staring at her with his deep eyes. Natalie thought he might have been watching her for
Startled, Natalie asked, “You… Why are you still here?”
Just then, the door opened, and Martin came in with a meal box
Josh took the box and put it on the bedside table. “You need to eat
“Thank you.”

Inside the box was some chowder, and Natalie noticed the logo of Royal Restaurant on the box.
It was hard to get chowder from Royal Restaurant because it was said to serve only heads of state and politicians. Even if the Linney family wanted to buy something, they had to make an appointment a week in advance.
Natalie could tell that Josh was no ordinary man. She had heard or seen almost all the celebrities in Gobis, but she couldn’t figure out who he was.
“What’s the matter?” he asked.
“Nothing,” Natalie took a sip of the chowder under Josh’s attentive gaze, feeling a little awkward.
Just as she didn’t know what to say, Josh suddenly said in a low and cold voice. “I’m sorry for what happened today. I’ll give you whatever you want as compensation”
Natalie pursed her lips and politely declined, saying, “You’ve done enough as a stranger,”
Josh’s face darkened, which made Natalie stunned.
Chapter 3
Martin thought that she was terrified, so he explained, “Ms. Linney, Mr. Pre. Mr. Franco is saying that he doesn’t like to owe people things. You’d better ask him for something” It sounded like they wouldn’t let her go until she named something.
Therefore, after quite a while, Natalie clenched the spoon and braced herself to speak under Josh’s stern gaze. “Thank you for your help, but I don’t need anything from you. You can leave now.”
However, as soon as she said that, the room fell into an uncomfortably intense silence.
Just as Natalie was feeling nervous, she heard Josh say, “Marry me.”
