Shane nodded slightly in return.
“Oh, right. How is madam?” she asked after glancing at the door behind him.
“Don’t worry, she will be fine,” he answered while rubbing his temples.
Mrs. Wilson nodded and said, “She’s in an extremely vulnerable state now. You have to take good care of her. We shall make a move first.”
She left with the children right after that.
Shane opened up the door and went back into the ward. He dragged a chair with him as he walked over to the bed and sat down beside her. He stared at the woman who was fast asleep before falling asleep eventually.
By the time Natalie woke up, it was already nighttime.
She was awoken by the sounds of people talking. Although they were soft, they still disturbed her.
With her head in her hand, she sat up slowly in her bed.
The people talking heard the rustling of her blanket and immediately turned to look at her.
“You’re awake.” Shane instantly left Jacqueline alone and walked over to her. He then put a pillow behind her.
Natalie leaned on the pillow and said weakly, “Thank you.”
Perhaps it was because she cried so much in the day. Hence, she sounded hoarse and awful when she spoke.
The man quickly handed her a glass of water and said, “Drink this to soothe your throat.”
Natalie lifted her pale arm to take the glass before taking a sip.
The water was warm and slightly sweet. Shane had probably poured it a moment ago and added honey in it, waiting to let her drink it when she was awake.
She felt comforted that he was taking such good care of her.
“Do you want some more?” Shane asked as he took the glass from her after seeing that she had finished the water.
“No thanks,” she answered while shaking her head.
He put the glass aside before asking, “Are you hungry?”
Natalie shook her head again, expressing that she was not hungry.
