Chapter 157 Injured for Her
"What urgent matter do you have that you must go back to now? Are you seeking death? Look at the wound on your forehead, and it was already stitched up with several stitches. If it opens up again, you will be in great pain."
Natalie raised her hand and touched her temple.
Seeing that she was listening, Colby quickly said, "Just rest here these few days."
Colby waited with his legs crossed for a while until Adrian returned.
Adrian had gone home to change his clothes, he was surprised to see Colby in Natalie's ward upon returning. He raised an eyebrow at Colby. "Why are you here?"
"Why, Adrian, how can you drive me away?" Colby asked pitifully.
Seeing Colby looking abandoned, Natalie couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Adrian glanced deeply at Natalie, who immediately stopped laughing and bit her lip, enduring it.
At that moment, the nurse happened to come to change Natalie's dressing. As the wound on Natalie's forehead was stitched up, she could feel obvious pain when applying the medication. Natalie bit her lip, quietly enduring the pain while getting her dressing changed.
As the nurse was about to leave, she suddenly looked at Adrian.
"Sir, does the wound on your back need treatment?" The nurse looked at Adrian's handsome face, blushing slightly as she asked.
"No need," Adrian replied curtly.
Colby was taken aback, recalling how David had hit him on the back with a bottle last night. Adrian must have been hurt by glass shards.
Natalie widened her eyes, looking at Adrian with obvious concern. "Are you injured?"
Had Adrian gotten injured last night while saving her?
At that time, Natalie's mind was half dazed and half awake. There was a ringing in her ears, but she did not hear anything.
But she vaguely knew.
Adrian faced several thugs alone last night. Even if he was skilled, he couldn't have come out unscathed, he must have been injured.
Adrian was actually injured because he saved her.
Natalie lowered her gaze.
While Natalie was blaming herself, she heard Adrian chuckle softly in her ear. "Don't overthink it, and it has nothing to do with you."
On the side, Colby rolled his eyes.
Colby thought inwardly, 'Adrian, if you can't even chat properly, how will you win Natalie's heart?'
Natalie stayed in the hospital for three days before being discharged.
After that day, she didn't see Adrian again. She thought Adrian hadn't come back, but on the day of her discharge, the nurse enviously said, "Ms. Teeger, your boyfriend is really good to you."
Natalie looked a bit haggard and smiled. "You misunderstood, he's not my boyfriend."
"How is that possible? If he's not your boyfriend, why does he come every night to stay with you until dawn?" the nurse teased.
Natalie's eyelashes trembled, feeling a bit dizzy.
Was Adrian actually here every night watching over her?
Due to her head injury, Natalie had been sleeping early these days.
By dawn, she was already in a deep sleep.
"Oh, is the wound on his back serious?" Natalie asked.
"Don't you know?"
The nurse was a bit surprised, then smiled, covering her lips. "He probably didn't want you to worry. The wound on his back isn't too severe, it's not long, but it's a bit deep."
Natalie tightly pressed her lips together. Even though Adrian said it had nothing to do with her that day, Natalie was very clear that he got injured because of her.
As the night grew darker.
It was 10 p.m.
In the club's private room, Adrian sat with his legs crossed. He was the only man in the room without a woman by his side. A woman named Linda White mustered up the courage and walked towards Adrian.
"Drinking alone is so boring." Linda said, boldly sitting next to Adrian and placing her hand on his chest, gently circling.
Adrian came from a prominent family and had a handsome appearance. Many women in the room had their eyes on Adrian, but no one dared to approach him because Adrian was too dangerous.
But Linda was different, and she had courage. She was the most sought-after hostess here. Linda believed she had a stunningly beautiful face and was confident that all men would like her when they saw her.
