Chapter 1206 A Secluded Sea View
Concern over Natalie’s safety and Shane’s possible disdain for her friend churned in Joyce’s heart.
Both Sally and Lina noticed her conflicted expression, and Sally asked, “What’s wrong, Joyce?”
Joyce stared at Shane, opening and closing her mouth when she realized she did not know what to say.
I can’t voice my concerns now. The most pressing thing on our agenda is to rescue Nat. I may do more harm than good if I were to bring that up now. If Shane’s head starts swirling with negative thoughts, he may call off the rescue operation altogether. Let’s save Nat first and worry about the future later. If he truly scorns Nat after her return, I’ll convince Nat to divorce him!
The decision loosened a knot in her heart, and Joyce sighed in relief. She turned to Sally and said, “Sal, can you get in touch with Mr. Campbell and check when they’ll arrive?”
“Okay. I’m on it.” Sally nodded before calling Silas.
Shane was on the phone with the local government at that moment.
They had agreed to give him access to the satellite in his rescue operation with a strenuous demand of their own.
In short, they wanted Shane to donate a jaw-dropping sum to support the development of their national enterprises.
They asked for a billion, and Shane did not even blink as he immediately agreed to their terms.
Joyce was grudgingly moved by his gesture, yet her confidence in the resilience of their relationship remained shaky, at best.
No one could deny Shane and Natalie’s love for each other. Nonetheless, love alone was not enough to sustain a relationship. Their previous misunderstanding was a perfect example.
Joyce eventually shook her head and sighed in resignation.
There’s no point in thinking about all these now.
Meanwhile, on a private island in the Aplothean Ocean, Natalie’s eyelashes fluttered as she finally regained her consciousness.
She opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling. The grogginess left her body in an instant, replaced by an intense flashback.
