Natalie almost screamed in panic at the sudden loud smash next to her ear. Instinctively, she covered her head with her hands and leaned down to protect herself, bracing for another blow. But instead of more attacks, she heard the sound of painful cries from men outside.
Peeking out from her car, she saw the two men in suits
supposedly bodyguards appointed by Justin for her- had tackled the four attackers. Shaken but unharmed.
she quickly stepped out of the car. By then, the security guards from the society gate had also rushed
to the scene.
One of the bodyguards, the same tall and robust man who stopped her car today and she scolded him, approached her, “Ms. Natalie, are you alright?”
His eyes scanned her for injuries. He noticed the light scratches on her forehead and cheek caused by the shattered glass.
Though still in shock, Natalie nodded and started to move toward the attackers, her instincts telling her to
confront them. But the bodyguard stopped her. “Well handle this and find out why they attacked you. First, we need to take care of your injuries, Miss
“I’m alright, she retorted, though her trembling hands betrayed her true state, the pain in her ankle seems to increased at her sudden movement.
Just then, the other bodyguard approached with a phone in hand. “Mr. Harper is on the line. He wants to speak with you. Ms Natalie,” he said, offering her the phone.
“Hello,” Natalie answered, trying to steady her voice.
“Are you hurt?” Justin’s deep calm voice came through, instantly grounding her.
“Just a few scratches, she replied, feeling an unexpected sense of reassurance as if she was
compelled to answer him truthfully.
“Head to the hospital with the bodyguard. I’ll be there
soon, Justin instructed firmly.
“There’s no need. I can just

leaving no room for argument. Natalie was

momentarily taken aback, feeling the weight of his
authority and unable to disobey.
She handed the cellphone back to the bodyguard, who then instructed her, “Please get in my car.”
Glancing at those four young attackers for a moment, Natalie obediently climbed into the black car. The same man, she was angry at during the day for stopping her car rashly, drove her to the hospital while the other one was left behind to take care of the
matter.
He handed Natalie a box of tissues as the light scratches on her skin had begun to bleed slightly.
“Thank you,” Natalie accepted the tissues. After a moment, she asked, “What’s your name?” She figured it was best to at least know the name of the man who
would be around her for a while.
“John,” he replied politely.
They reached the hospital. Inside the private hospital room, the doctor was about to treat those small
scratches on Natalie’s skin, the door opened and a man walked inside the room. His expression was cold, and his eyes were filled with a deadly seriousness, as if

he were to murder someone,
Not just Natalie but even the doctor and a nurse felt that chilling aura around him, as if they were doing something wrong and this man was here to confront
them.
Without a word, Justin walked straight to Natalie. He gently tilted her chin up to inspect the scratches on her face, his expression darkening further as he examined the tiny wounds.
“Tiny scratches, nothing more. Natalie attempted to dismiss his concern, but the intensity in his gaze silenced her.
He then looked at her hands, noticing the marks on the backs of her palms, and held them in his. Natalie briefly considered pulling her hands away, thinking Justin was being overly worried, but seeing the cold anger in his eyes, she decided against it.
Justin turned to the doctor, his voice firm. “Treat her
quickly and make sure no marks are left.”
The young doctor nodded quietly, thinking to himself, ‘I was already doing that, but sir, you’re the one interrupting and delaying the process.’

Natalie, overhearing his instructions, frowned inwardly. ‘Why does he care so much about a few marks? I have worse and bigger scars on my body. These tiny scratches are nothing.‘
Justin stood to the side, watching intently as the doctor treated Natalie’s wounds. Despite the sting of the antiseptic, she didn’t wince once, her expression
stoic,
“Who were those attackers?” Natalie asked.
“Focus on getting treated first,” Justin retorted, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Natalie’s brows furrowed. ‘This man is getting overly controlling without a reason. Not like we are truly a husband and a wife, are we?”
“Done,” the doctor’s words pulled her out of her thoughts. “None of the wounds were deep enough to require stitches. They should heal quickly.”
Natalie nodded and moved to step down from the bed, intending to pay the bill and leave, so she could get to the bottom of the matter of this attack. He had refused to answer her question about the attack so she was not going to ask him again, but Justin’s voice

stopped her.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m treated, so of course, I’m leaving,” she replied, her tone edged with irritation.
“You’re staying here,” he said, his voice firm.
“What?” she asked, disbelief colouring her tone.
“Yes. You’re staying here overnight,” he insisted, then shot a look at the doctor, his gaze sharp and
commanding.
The doctor, clearly feeling the weight of Justin’s gaze, stammered, “Ah, Ms. Natalie, it would be better if you
rest…”
“I hate hospitals,” Natalie declared, stepping off the bed. She winced slightly as she put weight on her injured foot, but her determination didn’t waver. “I’m not staying.”
“If you want to know why they attacked you, you’d better get back on the bed,” Justin warned, his voice low and firm. “Or I will make sure you won’t ever know.”
Natalie glared at him, her anger evident. She had just
30 Overly Controlling Man
told him she hated hospitals, but he seemed determined to ignore her wishes.
“Do as I say. You won’t regret it,” Justin added, his gaze steady and reassuring, though still carrying an air of authority.
Though reluctant, Natalie finally complied, allowing the nurse to help her back onto the bed.
