Joyce is right. Had Lucy not shown up, the manager would've found Shane very quickly, and I wouldn't have gotten
the call about him going missing which resulted in Anders being born prematurely. Still, I can't blame Lucy for
everything, though. She had indeed saved Shane out of goodwill, after all. I guess everything that happened was
just fated to happen.
Natalie lowered her gaze at the thought of that.
As Joyce was managing the entire company by herself, she was really busy and left the hospital after keeping
Natalie company for three hours.
Natalie then had the bodyguards bring Mrs. Wilson back to her ward after that, leaving Connor and herself in the
ward with Shane.
In the meantime, the rest of the bodyguards stood guard outside the ward.
“I looked up some information on Lucy, Mommy,” Connor said all of a sudden.
“Why would you look her up?” Natalie asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I did some digging out of curiosity when I heard you and Aunt Joyce talking about her earlier. Guess what? Aunt
Joyce is right about Lucy being a gold digger!” Connor replied with a smile.
Natalie arched an eyebrow at him. “Oh? How so?”
“According to the information I found, Lucy has a childhood sweetheart who happens to be from the richest family
in the village. She loved hanging around with him because he would always give her lots of presents. However, she
found one of her male classmates a lot more attractive when she was in high school. She then began distancing
herself from her childhood sweetheart and got closer with that male student. Her childhood sweetheart told her to
stay away from her classmate when he found out about it, but she refused and said she got along better with her
classmate. The truth is, she was only being close with that classmate because he gave her much better presents. In
university, she got to know a lot of rich students. Everyone could see that she was a gold digger, but she refused to
admit to it and insisted that she was just friends with those rich students.”
Having understood what he meant, Natalie said with a chuckle, “Her being a gold digger has nothing to do with us.
If it's money that she wants, then we'll just give it to her. We won't be in contact anymore after we repay the favor.”
Connor nodded. “You're right, Mommy!”
Noticing the sleepiness in his eyes, Natalie asked, “Are you tired? How about I carry you onto the bed so you can
sleep with Daddy?”
“Yeah!”
Natalie then carried him onto the hospital bed and helped take his shoes off.
Connor rolled around for a bit before climbing under the cover and snuggling up to Shane.
Wow, this is the first time I'm sleeping with Daddy!
Connor giggled excitedly at the thought of that and fell asleep shortly after.
Natalie pulled the cover over their shoulders before giving Sally a call on the balcony to ask about Sharon and
Anders.
She was only able to truly feel at ease when Sally told her that Sharon and Anders were sleeping soundly.
“Have you found Mr. Thompson yet?” Sally asked.
Natalie glanced at the ward behind her and nodded as she said, “Yeah, I have.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That's great!” Sally was really happy for her.
“Yeah, it is. I've sent Silas to go bring Sharon home. Would you like to come back together?”
“I think I'll stay here for the time being. Lina said she wanted to host a design exhibition, and I promised to be her
model, remember?”
Oh, right... I totally forgot about that!
“Okay, then. When Shane wakes up, I'll have him give Silas some time off to keep you company!” Natalie said with a
smile.
Sally clapped her hands happily. “That would be awesome! Thanks, Nat!”
Natalie shook her head. “There is no need to thank me! I should be the one thanking you two instead! Had you two
not been here by my side throughout all this, I probably wouldn't be able to cope with losing Shane, and Anders
might have... You know what, let's not talk about this. It's all in the past now. We'll treat you two to a meal when
Shane gets better, okay?”
“Sure! We'll be waiting for your invitation, then!”
They then carried on chatting for a little while longer before ending the call.
