The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 764

When Marico said he was thirsty, Natalie poured him a glass of warm water. As she tried to spoon-feed it to him, he decided to act like a diva.

"It's too hot. Blow on it."

"It's not going to burn you."

"If you don't blow on it, I'm not drinking it."

Natalie didn't indulge him. She simply set the cup down on the nightstand.

"Stay thirsty, then."

Marico actually did seem parched, letting out a few dry coughs. Natalie wasn't petty enough to seriously hold a grudge against a patient—especially one who got hurt protecting her—so she picked the cup back up and let him take a few sips.

Marico sighed. "If you're not planning to sleep with me as a reward, then just go home. I'm afraid if you take care of me for a few days, you'll end up killing me."

Natalie told him to close his eyes and go back to sleep. "Penelope is watching Kristin."

"I didn't ask about her."

"So you don't need to worry."

Marico curled his lip. "You make it sound like I'm some hero. I was... cough, cough... I was completely hammered. Otherwise, I never would have done something so stupidly self-sacrificing. I regret it now. I..."

"Just shut up."

Not in the mood to bicker with him, Natalie stepped out of the room to buy some daily necessities at the convenience store downstairs. The doctor had said he needed to stay in the hospital for at least two weeks. Since her schedule was open, she planned to stay and look after him.

The moment she walked out of the inpatient building, she was confronted by Hamilton. He reeked of alcohol.

Seeing him, Natalie instantly went on high alert.

"What do you want?"

The deep caution in her eyes felt like a knife to Hamilton's chest. Did she really view him as such a dangerous threat? Why was she looking at him like that?

"I came to apologize," he said.
