Shane remained silent.
It was exactly because there weren’t any security cameras here that he couldn’t identify which of them was lying.
Otherwise, the first thing he would do was retrieve the security footage.
“So are you saying we should just forget about this matter altogether, Dr. Baker?” Natalie narrowed her eyes at Jackson, as though able to see through the depths of his soul.
Jackson looked away guiltily, unable to bring himself to meet her gaze at all. With a forced smile, he answered, “Yeah. Jacqueline merely fell down. It’s nothing serious. Let’s not make it a big deal and just let it go. What do you think, Shane?”
Shane’s eyes turned pensive, but he nodded in agreement in the end.
Since there’s really no evidence, we might as well just let it go.
Seeing as Shane concurred to his suggestion, Jackson breathed an inaudible sigh of relief before discreetly casting Jacqueline a warning look.
This small detail did not go unnoticed by Natalie.
She scoffed with disdain as she studied Jackson.
He obviously knows that Jacqueline orchestrated everything that happened earlier.
But because he likes her, he chose to protect her and also tried to downplay this entire incident. Wow, I’m truly amazed.
Jackson felt ashamed when he heard Natalie scoff, but for Jacqueline’s sake, he had no choice but to steel himself and go through with this.
“Natalie…”
“Leave!” Natalie pointed at the door. “I don’t want to see any of you right now, so kindly leave.”
“Ms. Smith, you-”
“Enough!” Jackson grabbed Jacqueline’s arm, using force on her for the first time. With a stern expression, he asserted, “Ms. Smith wants us to leave, so enough talking. Let’s go!”
With that, he dragged Jacqueline out of the ward.
When Shane stayed behind, Natalie uttered in an icy tone, “What are you still doing here?”
Shane’s brows rose toward his hairline.
