Natalie shot a glance at Christopher before stepping out of the umbrella.

The rain slid down her hair and shoulders, but it was as if she could not feel it at all.

Christopher gritted his teeth and secretly cursed at her for being ungrateful. However, he could not helpbut chase after her and place the umbrella over her head again.

“Do you like being drenched in the rain so much?”

“What‘s that got to do with you?” Without even looking back, Natalie strode forward. “I‘ve already curedyour illness, so we owe each other nothing. There‘s no need to be involved in each other‘s livesanymore.”

Christopher was used to scheming women playing tricks to get close to him.

Was U

It was his first time seeing a woman acting so aloof and wanting to cut off ties with him. In fact, it felt likeshe did not even care about him at all.

However, the more she did that, the greater his urge to be closer to her. He wanted her to pay attentionto him.

“You‘re still so young. Where did you pick up your medical skills from?” Christopher walked beside herunder the umbrella.

“I’m not telling you.”

“Now that you‘ve cured me, the snakeblood fruit which I got from the auction will be useless.” Feigninghelpless, Christopher asked, “I wonder what‘ll happen if I fed it to a dog.”

Even if Natalie could ignore Christopher, she could not ignore these precious herbs.

Although the snakeblood fruit‘s medicinal effects were much inferior to that of the dragonblood fruit, itwas still a very rare and useful herb.

As expected, Natalie immediately stopped in her tracks and stared at Christopher with widened eyes.“Are you crazy? Do you have a grudge against the snakeblood fruit?”

“I‘m not a doctor, anyway. Now that my illness is cured, the snakeblood fruit is

useless to me,” remarked Christopher casually. “Even if I give it to you, you wouldn‘t want it.”

“Who said that I wouldn‘t want it?”

“Do you want it?”

“I do!” Natalie did not know if that madman was joking or being sincere. While her heart ached for theherb, she exclaimed, “Although the snakeblood fruit cannot be compared to the dragonblood fruit, it canstill save lives! If you feed it to the dogs, you‘d be wasting such a precious herb.”

“I bought the snakeblood fruit for tens of billions. If I give it to you, don‘t you have to give something upfor exchange?”

Meeting Christopher‘s gaze, Natalie could not help but ask, “What do you want in exchange?” However,suddenly remembering something, she quickly added, “You‘ve been misled into paying that price duringthe auction. Actually, the snakeblood fruit doesn‘t cost that much. Don‘t try to scam me!”

“Well, I want you to have a meal with me.”

“Just one meal?” Natalie was still skeptical. Can it be that easy?

“Are you replaceing it too simple?” Christopher smirked and said, “Looks like you don‘t really want it, after all.I should just feed it to the dogs!”

“No! I‘ll agree.”

“Okay,” replied Christopher as an amused look flashed across his eyes.

It is just a meal anyway. Nothing wrong could arise from that. Besides, I could use the snakeblood fruit inYana‘s medicine. That would be beneficial for her recovery.

Bearing the thought in mind, Natalie followed Christopher into the car.

When she got out of the car, she realized that he had brought her to a steak restaurant.

Christopher had reserved a private room. A waitress in a red dress led them to their seats and passedthem a tablet.

Christopher wanted to order a steak with hot sauce, but Natalie stopped him.

“You‘ve just recovered, so you can’t eat something so spicy!” Natalie glared at him. “Order somethingmild. As you‘ve just recovered from an illness which you‘ve suffered since young, it‘s better to take thingsslow.”

Natalie was reminding Christopher out of concern in her capacity as his doctor.

However, Christopher kept staring at Natalie intently. Delighted with her concern, he relented. “Fine, I‘l
