Chapter 1022 Not Willing To Give Up
Noticing that Heidi had gone quiet, Jesper uttered coldly, “I’ve conveyed Mr. Bowers’ message.”
She cried with a heavy heart, “Wait! I still have something to ask you.”
Jesper stopped and took a deep breath. “Go on, Ms. Leitz.”
“Those photos…”
Understanding dawned upon Jesper, and he replied, “You can rest assured that these photos don’t mean anything, Ms. Leitz. As long as you don’t continue to be so obsessed, these photos will never—”
“I wasn’t asking about that!” Heidi interrupted, “I’m asking about these photos. Has Samuel seen them? Does he think that I’m a filthy and utterly shameless woman?”
Jesper did not expect her to ask him that question. He looked more unsettled, but his tone was still professional and calm. “I’ve made myself very clear just now. Mr. Bowers is married with children. As for whether or not he had seen the photos or what his thoughts are of them, they’re of no importance to you…”
Tears filled Heidi’s eyes, and she instinctively gnashed her teeth.
Jesper shot her a glance. Feeling that he had said enough, he turned and exited the private room, leaving behind Heidi, who looked as though her soul had left her body.
She clutched her chest as tears kept slipping out of her reddened eyes.
I love Samuel so much. If I’d known that I would meet a man like him, I would never have done such an absurd thing! What do I do?
Despite knowing Samuel’s true identity and knowing that he had a significant other, Heidi felt like she had been bewitched, caught in the abyss of love. Not only was she unable to extricate herself, but she was also falling deeper and deeper into it!
Married with children?
The image of Samuel holding an umbrella for Natalie under the rain suddenly came to her mind.
The man would rather get mostly drenched under the pouring rain but still acted like the most loyal knight, holding the umbrella above her head and not allowing a single drop of rain to fall on her. I’d simply thought it was an act of “loyalty” toward his female superior back then. Now that I think about it, with his status, why would he go to such lengths if Natalie isn’t his loved one? Now I know… Everything was destined from the first sight!
Despite knowing the truth, Heidi still could not let it go.
How she wished that the woman treated like a precious treasure by Samuel was her, not Natalie!
My appearance is exquisite and more prominent than Helma’s. Although I can’t compare to her in terms of status, now that I’ve been recognized by my father as the second daughter of the Leitz family, we won’t lose the slightest to Natalie on wealth and background! I won’t accept this! I refuse to accept this outcome, and I don’t want to give up!
At the thought, she picked up the scissors on the table and cut off the red silk in the private room, leaving them scattered all over the ground in pieces.
Natalie was completely unaware of everything that had happened on Heidi’s side as she was currently dissecting a mouse in the lab.
She had purified a particular toxin from Samuel’s blood and injected it into the mouse. In less than two minutes, the mouse made a shrill cry and died from bleeding through all its orifices.
Modern medicine focused on microscopy, while traditional medicine was about macroscopic observation.
From Natalie’s perspective, as long as she could cure the poison in Samuel’s body, she was willing to attempt either way.
Hence, she was now dissecting the mouse and removing its heart and liver for testing.
Ross was her assistant in Chanaea, but since he could not leave the country due to other responsibilities, Natalie hired a new female assistant, Xenia Wilson.
Xenia was a little surprised to see Natalie’s skillful and professional techniques.
She had naively thought that since Natalie had hired her to become her assistant, the latter would leave the dissecting work to her. However, little did she expect such a breathtakingly beautiful woman to be so impressive, as the mouse was neatly dissected in no time.
“Your technique…” Xenia’s eyes flashed with incredulity.
“What about it?” asked Natalie with a frown.
Xenia exclaimed with heartfelt admiration, “It’s amazing!”
The corners of Natalie’s mouth lifted slightly. “It’s all right, I suppose. My skills in dissecting mice aren’t as good as dissecting people.”
