“Medication?” Yulia was anxious and walked up to them. “Baby Girl, what happened?”
“Nothing, it’s just that I fell down when I was outside.” Natalie gestured towards her arm with her lips and responded to her mother nonchalantly.
Shane picked up the bandage and went around her arm a few times before tying a neat bow. “There, you are done.”
“Thank you, Mr. Shane.” Natalie unrolled her sleeves.
Yulia’s face relaxed and she smiled at Shane. “Thank you, Shane.”
“No big deal.” Shane tossed the cotton bud into the trash can before standing up. “May I have a chat with you, Yulia?”
“What about?” Yulia looked at him, puzzled.
Shane pursed his lips and said, “My grandpa was very close to you during the last few months before he died. I’d like to find out more about you and my grandpa.”
Since he found out yesterday that his parents’ death had to do with his grandfather, he realized that he had never gotten to know him.
Perhaps he would be able to find out more about his grandfather through Natalie’s mother.
“About this…” Yulia frowned rather awkwardly.
Natalie pulled on her sleeve. “Mom!”
Yulia shot Natalie an annoyed glance and muttered, “You are always on his side!”
Natalie stuck out her tongue cheekily.
Yulia pinched her nose exasperatedly and told Shane, “Alright, come to the study with me then.”
With that, Yulia headed to the study.
Instead of following her immediately, Shane thanked Natalie first.
He knew very well that if not for her, her mother would not have agreed so readily.
After about half an hour, both Shane and Yulia emerged from the study.
With a tensed face, Shane said, “Yulia, I’ll make a move first then.”
