A Cue For Love

Chapter 1051 Not As Fragile As You Think

Barnaby continued murmuring those words until he finally closed his eyes and died. Jerome then walked over to Natalie and pulled her into his arms.

His adjutant and subordinates were still around, but he was hugging her as if they were the only two people around. “Natalie, are you okay?”

Natalie was still in a daze, but she noticed that Jerome was hugging her a little too tightly. “I’m fine, Jerome.” Natalie pushed his chest and tried to move away from his hug. “I’m not as fragile as you think I am.”

“Did you not know how dangerous that was earlier?” Jerome asked sternly. “My subordinates told me you offered to take the original hostage’s place!”

Jerome rarely spoke with Natalie in such a vicious tone. In a way, that was his first time.

However, Natalie did not get angry with him for that. Instead, she answered calmly, “His original hostage was a pregnant woman who has shown initial signs of miscarriage. If she had remained as his hostage, she and her baby might have died. Moreover, I knew that you’d assign a sniper to the matter. As long as I go along with the guy’s plan, I’ll eventually be rescued.”
