Even though that was what she thought, she didn’t show it on her face. “It’s fine. I won’t disturb her,” she told the kids.
“That won’t do. Hurry up and leave now!” Sharon stepped forward to chase her out.
Connor tugged on his sister’s hand. “Don’t touch her. She’s weak. We wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility if something serious were to happen to her.”
“Oh, you’re right.” Sharon nodded obediently.
Jacqueline almost lost her cool.
Clearly, Connor was warning her not to pretend to get hurt.
When Jacqueline was about to lose control, Shane stepped out of the bedroom.
“Why are you all standing here?” He glanced at the kids before turning to Jacqueline.
Before the kids could speak, Jacqueline interjected, “Shane, I’m here to visit Ms. Smith. Is she alright?”
“She’s fine,” Shane replied calmly.
Jacqueline heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m glad she’s fine. By the way, what happened to her?”
Previously, she had hired someone to investigate the matter but to no avail.
Shane ruffled the kids’ hair before answering. “It’s nothing serious. I’ve dealt with the matter.”
“Oh, I see.” Jacqueline lifted the corners of her lips in a smile. Deep down, she was fuming.
It’s obvious that he didn’t want to tell me about it!
Right then, Silas and Mrs. Wilson arrived with a bunch of people in white coats led by Jackson.
Jackson asked, “Mrs. Wilson told me Natalie’s injured. Is it true?”
Shane nodded. “Come in and see for yourself.”
“Okay,” replied Jackson as he flashed Jacqueline a smile before entering the bedroom with his entourage.
Jacqueline wanted to follow them in, but Mrs. Wilson stood in her way. “Ms. Graham, you shouldn’t head in and disturb the doctors’ checkup.”
