She didn’t ask about the content of their talk.
When they didn’t ask her to stay as she walked away, she knew it was not for her to know.
So naturally she wouldn’t ask.
Shane nodded. “Yes.”
“Great. Your practice is over. Let’s head back.” Natalie released Connor’s hand and went to help Shane.
Connor obediently went to help Shane with his other side.
They were a heartwarming scene of a perfect family everyone would envy.
Mrs. Wilson, who was rolling her wheelchair slowly behind them, couldn’t help her smile as she looked at the scene in front of her.
When they got back to the ward, Natalie’s phone rang soon after she helped Shane onto the bed.
Natalie glanced at the phone and noted it was a call from Silas.
Shane turned to Shane with surprise. “It’s Mr. Campbell, but why isn’t he calling you?”
“Didn’t you arrange for him to fetch Sharon? Maybe it’s related to her.” Shane fiddled with Connor’s small hands as he muttered.
Natalie nodded. “That’s right. I had totally forgotten about that.”
She picked up the call. “Hello, Mr. Campbell.”
“Mommy.” Unexpectedly, it wasn’t Silas’ voice on the other end, but Sharon’s with her soft and sweet voice.
Natalie’s expression and voice softened at her voice. “Darling.”
“Mommy, I missed you so much.” Sharon pouted.
Natalie could feel her tears welling up. “Darling, I missed you too.”
“So I came to see you. I just got off the plane with Mr. Campbell.” Sharon laughed excitedly.
Natalie nodded. “All right. Do you want to talk to Daddy?”
“Yes,” Sharon said excitedly.
Natalie passed her phone to Shane. “Sharon wants to talk to you.”
Shane’s expression softened as he retrieved the phone.
The father and daughter proceeded to chat, with Connor occasionally cutting in while Natalie looked on a smile as she sat on the side.
