A Cue For Love

Chapter 1118 It Is All Because Of Me

Jerome took a deep breath before uttering with difficulty, “I’m sorry. I promised to protect you, but I watched you get hurt at the dock. I let you become the bait.”

He truly hated himself. At that moment, he felt he was no different from a coward no matter how great his reputation was.

Natalie looked down and smiled. “It’s not your fault. Besides, this is probably the best outcome we can ask for. It’s just a minor injury anyway. Now, Yumi is safe, and you have captured Zophie. Besides, no explosion happened at the dock.” Jerome stressed, “Natalie, it’s not a minor injury!”

A subtle smile remained on Natalie’s lips. “Silly, it’s a minor one if I can talk to you like this, so don’t apologize to me anymore. You don’t owe me anything. Besides, you knew how much I hate being in Bastien’s presence, so you risked everything to bring me back to the Sutton residence. Apologize one more time and I’m going to lose my temper.”

“All right.” Jerome knew Natalie had said that to make him feel better. However, it only made him more determined to be loyal to her. If the same thing happened again, Natalie’s safety would be his first priority.

Looking pale, Natalie said weakly, “Jerome, I’m a little tired. I’d like to get some rest. Could you contact Yandel and tell him to work with Emma to take care of the kids? Yumi, especially. Help me come up with an excuse and tell them I’ll be away for a few days. I’ll go back once I’m better.”

Jerome nodded. “Don’t worry and get all the rest you need. I’ll handle the others.” “Okay.” Natalie trusted Jerome with all her heart. She was reassured to hear his words, and she soon fell back to sleep.
