Perhaps it's good that he's not at the hospital and I didn’t get to meet him.

With how things were, Joyce figured at least she would not have to be afraid that she would be reluctant to leave.

“What? He's no longer at the hospital?” Natalie was surprised. “Joyce, where did Stanley go?”

“I've no idea. I checked with the director, and he said Stanley has taken a long leave. Nothing's decided about his

return date. I bet he must've gone to look for that culprit,” Joyce explained.

That was the only reason she could think about why he had taken such a long leave.

“How will he be able to find the culprit alone?” Natalie frowned.

Joyce cast her gaze downward. “He's a world-renowned neurologist with a broad network of connections. He hates

getting in touch with them in the past, but now, I guess he'll do that to help in his search for the culprit.”

“If that's the case, there may be a chance for him to find the culprit.” Natalie nodded in agreement.

“All right, Nat. I still have to pack my luggage. Let's talk later,” Joyce said.

“Mmm, okay. Continue with your packing. I must prepare the gifts for Mr. and Mrs. Rivers, too.”

Finishing her words, Natalie concluded the call and headed to the kitchen to get Mrs. Wilson to help her prepare

some supplements for middle-aged people.

Joyce's parents were never in good health, much worse than many others of the same age. Hence, giving them

health supplements was the best choice.

After Mrs. Wilson finished preparing the supplements, Natalie made a call to ask her assistant over to help her bring

the gifts to the airport for Joyce.

By the time she finished, Shane and Silas had also come down from upstairs.

Seeing Silas leaving immediately, Natalie walked up to Shane and asked, “Darling, how is it?”

“Everything's fine now.” Shane shook his head as he answered.

She poured him a glass of water. “I know why you have been acting this way. Jacqueline killed your parents because

they objected to her marrying you. You believed you were the cause of that incident, the one who ignited the fire to

everything.”

Shane tightened his grip on the glass of water. “It was indeed my fault. If Jacqueline didn't—”

“No, that isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself. Of course, we can't deny how your parents' refusal triggered her

murderous intent. But she's someone who can't take a little grievance or mistreatment from others, or else she'll

have the urge to kill them. Think about it; even if she didn't say she wanted to marry you and instead had other

demands, there's no way your parents could fulfil all of them. Eventually, she would still kill them for not agreeing to

her other wishes,” Natalie comforted as she held onto his hand tightly.

Shane's eyes flickered. “Is that so?”

“Yeah. Just think about Mr. and Mrs. Graham. Jacqueline killed them because she was upset by a minor matter,

even though they were her parents. So, don't blame yourself for that. If your parents learn about it, they wouldn't

feel happy for you either.” Natalie gently hugged him.

The man hugged her back and closed his eyes. “I know. Silas also tried to persuade me earlier.”

“What did you and Mr. Campbell discuss upstairs?” Natalie turned to look at Shane.

He narrowed his eyes and frostily responded, “I've decided not to hand Jacqueline over to the police. Though she

won't be able to escape the death penalty, it's too easy a death for her. I want to punish her by myself.”

“Okay, do it yourself then.” Natalie nodded without hesitation.

As much as that was against the law, she could totally understand his agony. The grudge he bore toward Jacqueline

for killing his parents was not something he could easily let go of just by handing the case to the police to resolve.

In truth, there were many grudges and grievances in the world that one could only find closure after taking revenge

by themselves.

If she were in Shane's shoes, she would have made the same decision.

“Don't you think it's frightening that I choose to do that?” The man stared intently at Natalie.

She smiled. “You've asked me the same question once. I told you I wasn't scared then, and my answer remains the

same now. In contrast, I have a question for you. The fact that I supported your choice only proves I'm not a kind

person either. Do you still love me in this case?”
