Ex-wife 9

Chapter 9
“Slow down, slow down” Darius kindly helped Natalie lift each step, slowly and carefully, like lifting eggs or catching flowers. After Natalie got out of the chair, each step she took became heavy and difficult, but now she can stand up, at least, although she cannot walk normally yet, her efforts The past two years have not been wasted, her baby steps are like a child being guided. Compared to being friends with a wheelchair like before, now she can learn to walk even though she needs Darius’s help.
Thank you, Darius.” Her voice was flat and gentle but filled with gratitude. Natalie couldn’t deny that Darius treated her very well. Perhaps in her whole life, she couldn’t repay him for what he had done for her.
“Why are you suddenly being so polite, we are not strangers,” Darius feels that Natalie always draws a line between the two of them, making him try his best to cross that line but fails. How can he make her heart flutter again?? Darius asked himself.
His eyes stopped on Natalie’s soft and rosy lips. Thousands of times he wanted to plant a kiss on her cherry blossom petal- like lips. Darius slowly approached her delicate face. She was blushing, her sparkling eyes were wide open looking at him. When Darius’s breath came closer and closer, Natalie felt that warmth, she quickly lowered her face, looking shy and refusing.
“Sorry! I’m like that again, maybe I should learn to control myself. Darius was confused, and raised his hand to scratch his head, making his hair messy. Seeing his appearance made Natalie laugh.

y own.”
“No problem! Don’t worry, if it doesn’t work out, you’re still right here, next to me, right now, right?” Natalie always knew how to reassure others, her words made Darius feel more secure, he decided to let go of Natalie’s hand to let her walk on her
own
Natalie’s white bare feet took small steps on the green grass. Her face gradually changed color and began to wrinkle, enoughy to understand how difficult those steps were, but Natalie did not stop.
Darius was always following closely beside her, his face was equally wrinkled, and his hands were always proactively reaching out to support Natalie at any time. In less than 5 minutes, Natalie’s legs seemed to have lost it went limp and collapsed, but Darius quickly caught her.

“No need to rush, let’s rest a bit then we’ll continue.” Darius pulled up a nearby chair and gently helped Natalie sit down.
Natalie’s eyes were filled with tears but she couldn’t let any more tears fall, she had to be strong crying wouldn’t sqlve anything.
g and she understood that
“You did great.” Darius understood Natalie’s current mood. He placed his warm hand on that small hand and reassured the girl in front of him.
“No, can you take me to the rehabilitation room tomorrow? Maybe I need to practice more.” Natalie’s determination made Darius a little nervous, but he quickly thought of a good way.
Early the next morning. Natalie opened her eyes at dawn. She glanced out the window, where she could see the whole garden. If last night the trees and flowers were illuminated by the moonlight, now the warm sunlight is filtering through the trees, the dew drops remaining on the leaves are also gradually drying by those rays of sunlight. Instead of looking at the fiery sky of sunset, Natalie prefers the morning sunlight that calls for the awakening of all things, it makes her feel the good beginnings of every day, just like herself, woke up after a long day of sleep.
“You’re awake!” Still the same warm and gentle voice that Natalie had heard familiarly over the past two years, Darius knocked on the door, wearing a gray plaid shirt with the first button undone, and matching pants. Showing off his long legs, and elegant appearance but not at all stylish, today he is a bit unconventional but still very gentle.

Mon,
Chapter 9
Natalie rubbed her still-sleepy eyes with both hands. After being fully awake, those sparkling eyes once again looked up at the handsome face of her housemate.
“You woke up earlier than I thought, but that’s fine, eat breakfast and prepare for today’s homework.” Darius did not wait for Natalie’s consent but directly walked in and lifted her.
Natalie is probably used to this, it seems like this is something that Darius helps her with every morning, she can’t get out of bed and walk by herself but somehow even though she’s gotten used to it, her face still blushes.
After Darius helped her sit in the wheelchair, Natalie immediately pushed the wheelchair’s two wheels toward the bathroom. Of course, she would do the personal hygiene herself. Darius looked at Natalie’s embarrassed appearance and laughed out loud, his voice becoming joking,
embarrassed? This is not the first time.”
“Natalie! Are y you cinb
“Not shy at all,” Natalie said from the bathroom, she affirmed.
“Okay, I believe you.”
Ding Ding! Ding!
The phone rang, the first time Natalie felt it had such an effect, it interrupted Darius’s teasing.
“Hello! I hear.” Darius’s voice was completely different from when he talked to Natalie, his voice was full of inner strength and masculinity when he talked to outsiders.
“Okay, wait for me for 5 minutes.”
Natalie vaguely heard Darius’s footsteps fading away. She guessed that he must have left. Only then did her whole body dare to relax. Her hands kept splashing water on her rosy face. The cold water made her completely awake. and temporarily forget the embarrassment just now.
If it weren’t for that phone call, she probably wouldn’t have been able to leave the bathroom right now. She let out a breath and looked at her face in the mirror. After making sure everything was okay, Natalie pushed the wheelchair and went out.
As soon as she reached the hallway, Natalie heard noises from outside the living room, the sound of furniture moving and the sound of footsteps increasing, the push of Natalie’s hand made the wheelchair roll faster, and she quickly walked towards the room guests to see what happened.
