After all, even Jacqueline did not have the privilege to engage in such an intimate session with Shane.
All of a sudden, Silas recalled Sean’s words and gave them a thought.
Judging by Shane’s response, Sean seemed to be right because the former insisted on having Natalie in his care the moment he saw her in between Sean’s arms.
Oh, God! Does that mean Mr. Shane… It can’t be, right?
Silas gulped and dared not probe further.
Throughout the journey, they remained silent in the car. Soon, they finally reached to the apartment.
Shane laid Natalie on the couch and instructed Silas, “Get Jackson over here at once!”
“Yes!” Silas took note of his instruction and proceeded to get in touch with Jackson.
After a short while, Jackson showed up with a first-aid kit to check on Natalie’s condition.
Shane, who was by their side, asked with a serious expression, “How is she?”
Jackson assembled a syringe and pushed the piston to remove large air bubbles. He turned around and replied in a calm manner, “It’s not a big deal. In addition to extreme fatigue, she caught a cold. That took a hit on her immune system, hence, the fever. She’ll be fine after this jab.”
Finally, Shane returned to his usual calm and collected self after he heard Jackson’s words.
After Jackson finished administering the injection, he threw the syringe away and stared at his friends with an odd smirk. “I have been wondering about the reason you left the hospital in such a hurry. It turns out she’s the reason, huh?”
Shane didn’t bother to deny his speculation because it was the fact. While serving Jackson a glass of wine, Shane said, “I can’t possibly leave her alone when she was thrown behind bars because of me, right? How did Jacqueline’s operation go? Is everything fine?”
Jackson rolled his eyes and said, “Ha! I thought you have completely forgotten about her! Everything is fine since we have Stanley, the pioneer in the field of neurology, in charge of her operation. He managed to complete the operation within three hours, which would otherwise require five hours.”
Shane was irritated by the mere mention of Stanley. In the end, he placed his glass of drink aside and denoted, “Alright! I believe it’s time you return to the hospital as well. Please get in touch with me as soon as Jacqueline regains consciousness.”
“Fine.” After Jackson finished his glass of drink, he departed with his first-aid kit.
Natalie woke up a few minutes after Jackson departed.
