Chapter 998

Because Samuel's kiss on Natalie's lips were overly vigorous, she tried to avoid him. However, the man clasped his

hand on the back of her head, forbidding her to shrink away.

His kiss was so intense it was as if he was a ferocious wolf who could not wait to devour her.

And that continued for a long, long time...

Only after the man was satisfied did he let go of Natalie. On the other hand, the latter was still gasping for fresh air

because of that passionate yet suffocating kiss.

Even with the mask on, the man could not bring himself to inch closer to Natalie earlier.

But now, he grasped her body tightly and rubbed his face against her skin affectionately. The familiar fragrance of

herbs on her body lingered on the tip of his nose. He had utilized every ounce of his willpower to tame down the

wild thought of amalgamating her body into his.

Burying his head in her warm and soft neck, Samuel rubbed his face intimately and mumbled in a low and raspy

voice, “You're acting too audacious because you know I love you very much. You're making me lose my rationality

and succumb to my desires in front of you...”

Natalie chuckled. “So, you finally decide to open up to me? Why did you collude with Luna to put up such a show in

front of me? Don't think about lying to me. You should know that I'm not easy to fool. Now that I have my doubts

against you, finding the truth will only be a matter of time even if you choose not to say anything.”

A scowl appeared on Samuel's face at once.

He assumed that by wearing the silver mask and using the persona of Xander, Natalie would not find out about his

identity. Even if she could, that would only happen after a long time. Little did he imagine that he would be exposed

so quickly.

So, should I come clean or not?

There was a turmoil of emotions in the depths of his eyes as he pursed his lips together so tightly they turned ashen

in color.

Natalie reached out and held Samuel by his chin.

“You...” He stared at her in disbelief.

“Judging from how you're unwilling to say anything, I'm pretty sure it has got something to do with me.” Sincerity

filled Natalie's gaze. “Why do you not want to tell me? You better not assume that you're doing me good by doing

that, Samuel! We've been through thick and thin all this while. Even though I'm not powerful enough to ensure that

all plans are infallible, I'm not a weakling who needs someone to take care of me. Tell me the truth. I will stay by

your side no matter what, okay?”

Since Samuel was unwilling to reveal the truth to her, Natalie decided to pull out her trump card.

In the end, in the dark eyes of Samuel, the emotions he pent up within him condensed into rays of glint.

I guess the odds of me winning against Natalie are too low.

Knowing that he could not possibly wrestle against her insistence, Samuel asked, “Have I never told you the reason

why I had asked to be Master's disciple?”

“No.” Natalie shook her head.

“You became Master's disciple to improve your medical skills so that you can save lives and heal the wounded. As

for me, it's because Grandpa wants to be in a favorable position before requesting Master to get my health back in

shape.”

“What?” Natalie seemed a little overwhelmed.

Lowering his gaze, Samuel continued, “Silas is my uncle, and so is Stanley. Back then, Uncle Stanley drugged me

with a potent poison while the Bowers family's internal strife got intense. When Grandpa took me to Master, I was

on the brink of death...” It seemed a little difficult for the man to continue speaking. “Master managed to suppress

the toxins in my body with medicine and saved my life. However, he only managed to extend my life by three

years. Knowing that the Garcia family has stronger expertise in expelling poison, Master handed my case over to

Luna's grandpa. Taking pity on me, Old Mr. Garcia put in a lot of effort and used numerous expensive and precious

medicinal herbs to suppress the toxins in my body to ensure that I could live a longer life.”

Following that was a moment of dead silence.

The emotions glinting in that pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes faded into nothing.

Samuel did not continue with the rest of his sentence. Yet, a sudden revelation dawned upon the lady who was well

proficient in the area of medicine.

“Could it possibly have something to do with the aging drug?” A chilly aura emanated from Natalie's body as she

probed. “The toxicity in your body should've long achieved a balance. Is it because of a trigger that is causing the

toxins in your body to act up earlier than expected?”
