Joyce is right. Had Lucy not shown up, the manager would’ve found Shane very quickly, and I wouldn’t have gotten the call about him going missing which resulted in Anders being born prematurely. Still, I can’t blame Lucy for everything, though. She had indeed saved Shane out of goodwill, after all. I guess everything that happened was just fated to happen.
Natalie lowered her gaze at the thought of that.
As Joyce was managing the entire company by herself, she was really busy and left the hospital after keeping Natalie company for three hours.
Natalie then had the bodyguards bring Mrs. Wilson back to her ward after that, leaving Connor and herself in the ward with Shane.
In the meantime, the rest of the bodyguards stood guard outside the ward.
“I looked up some information on Lucy, Mommy,” Connor said all of a sudden.
“Why would you look her up?” Natalie asked.
“I did some digging out of curiosity when I heard you and Aunt Joyce talking about her earlier. Guess what? Aunt Joyce is right about Lucy being a gold digger!” Connor replied with a smile.
Natalie arched an eyebrow at him. “Oh? How so?”
“According to the information I found, Lucy has a childhood sweetheart who happens to be from the richest family in the village. She loved hanging around with him because he would always give her lots of presents. However, she found one of her male classmates a lot more attractive when she was in high school. She then began distancing herself from her childhood sweetheart and got closer with that male student. Her childhood sweetheart told her to stay away from her classmate when he found out about it, but she refused and said she got along better with her classmate. The truth is, she was only being close with that classmate because he gave her much better presents. In university, she got to know a lot of rich students. Everyone could see that she was a gold digger, but she refused to admit to it and insisted that she was just friends with those rich students.”
Having understood what he meant, Natalie said with a chuckle, “Her being a gold digger has nothing to do with us. If it’s money that she wants, then we’ll just give it to her. We won’t be in contact anymore after we repay the favor.”
Connor nodded. “You’re right, Mommy!”
Noticing the sleepiness in his eyes, Natalie asked, “Are you tired? How about I carry you onto the bed so you can sleep with Daddy?”
“Yeah!”
Natalie then carried him onto the hospital bed and helped take his shoes off.
