Chapter 87 No Greater Love

“Natalie, the kids already agreed. You don’t need to keep resisting.”

“No! | don’t agree. And if you insist on using them, then I'd rather not have the skin graft at all. So what if | look

ugly? It’s been four years, and | haven't done a single thing for them. | didn’t even carry them - I didn’t know

they existed until just recently. So what right do | have to let them suffer through something as agonizing as

having their skin taken just because we're related by blood? | can’t accept that. | just can’t.”

“Baron, if you really like- if you truly care about- then please respect my decision!”

Baron hadn’t expected this to be the obstacle.

He'd been worried about the kids being scared, about them refusing to donate. But they were willing. And now

Natalie was the one saying no..

He felt frustrated all of a sudden.

“Natalie, your condition can’t wait any longer. You need the skin graft as soon as possible. If | go out now to

search for a match, there's no guarantee I'll find one quickly. Do you understand?”

“I don’t care. | still won't let the children go through that.”

Her stance was immovable.

Seeing how determined she was, Baron started to panic.

“Stop being so stubborn!”

The moment he said that, Natalie shoved him away and tried to get out of bed.

Every movement scraped against her burned skin. Her wounds split open again, fresh blood seeping into the

sheets - a ghastly sight.

Baron rushed forward, brow furrowed.

“What are you doing?”

“I'm leaving.” Her voice was firm. “I'm grateful you saved me, and if | ever get the chance, I'll repay you with

everything | have. But starting now, I'm refusing your help. All of it.”

Baron could feel his blood boiling. The fury coiled in his chest made him want to explode - but the woman in

front of him was the one person he couldn't bring himself to lash out at.

“Lie down!” he growled. “Natalie, | risked my life pulling you out of that fire. From the moment | carried you out,

your life becmy responsibility. You don’t get to just give up now. | won't allow it.”

“Then I'll starve myself.”

She said it so calmly but her soft, warm breath carried a threat that chilled him to the bone.

Baron nearly lost it.

“You're really going to go this far?”

“Yes.” Her gaze was unwavering. “They're my children. I've never done a single thing for them - not once. |

won't let them suffer pain they should never have to bear just because of me.”

Her words were sharp and resolute.

Baron knew then: the skin grafts wouldn't be coming from the kids.

And to be honest... he didn’t have the heart for it either.

He'd raised them with his own two hands. If it weren't for Natalie, he never would've even considered it.

But it had seemed like the safest way.

Still, without Natalie's cooperation, the surgery would carry much more risk.

So be it.

Baron let out a long sigh. “Fine. You win, Natalie. | promise | won't use the kids’ skin. But I'll need tto search

for a suitable donor. | might be away for a few days. If you think they're too noisy, | can send them back to the

island.”

“No. | want to see them.”

She could hardly wait to meet them.

Baron clenched his jaw in frustration.

“Fine. Whatever you say. Now can you please lie down properly? Look at your wounds! They just started healing,

and now you've torn them open again. What, do you think | have nothing better to do with my time?”

His words were harsh, but oddly enough... Natalie could feel the care hidden underneath them.

She glanced at him from the corner of her eye, watching him fuss over her with a mixture of anger and

gentleness as he helped her lie back down. A strange warmth crept into her chest.

It hurt - but it was also comforting.

“Are you mad at me?” she asked softly,

Then she hooked her pinky around his.

“If I cook something nice for you later, will that make up for it?”

“You'd have to cook forfor a whole year to even start making up for it.”

“Okay.”

Her answer was gentle and sincere.

And just like that, Baron felt something warm brushing across his chest - something light, something tender- and

suddenly, the anger vanished like mist.

What a pathetic man he was.

He mentally mocked himself, but the corners of his mouth still lifted into a smile.

Clearly, his mood had improved.

Natalie saw the change in him and finally felt relieved.

“Can | see the kids now?” she asked.

Baron's smile froze.

Back when she didn’t know about them, she only ever thought of him. Now that they'd only been around for a

few days, suddenly all she wanted was those two little brats?

He was beginning to regret bringing them here.
