At that thought, she glanced at Shane and could not help but vent her anger on him. She pointed at the
lift and yelled furiously, “Leave now!”
Shane could naturally reach the same conclusion as she did. Hence, he understood why she was
chasing him away so angrily.
“Okay, I’ll leave.” Gazing into Natalie’s bloodshot eyes, he pursed his lips and left.
He did not leave because she chased her away. Instead, it was because he must not stay by her side
anymore.
If their suspicions were true, and the culprit who kidnapped Connor was Jasmine or the person who
tried to kill Natalie twice, things would become more serious. It meant that he was currently being
monitored.
It would be dangerous to Natalie and the people around her if he continued staying by her side. Hence,
he must find the culprit and resolve the matter as soon as possible.
As he mulled over it, Shane pressed the elevator button, whipped out his phone, and called the
company’s security department. He instructed them to dispatch a few bodyguards to protect Natalie
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand her children.
Feeling more assured, he could focus all his efforts on investigating who the mastermind was.
When Shane left, the police officers shared a confused glance with each other. They did not
understand why the couple suddenly argued and why Natalie chased Shane away.
However, as this was their family matter, they did not probe further.
“Ms. Smith, I’ll be asking you a few questions now. I hope that you’ll answer them honestly,” said one of
the police officers while the other flipped open his notebook.
“Okay, I’ll cooperate.” Natalie sat down on the bench.
After ten minutes, the police officer finished his interrogation. He closed his notebook and reminded,
“Okay, Ms. Smith. We’re done with the questions. When your child wakes up, please inform us. We
have some questions for him too.”
“Okay.” Natalie nodded slightly and the two police officers left.
She rubbed her face. Despite sitting up straight earlier, she immediately slumped against the wall,
looking extremely exhausted.
At that moment, Sean had just returned from having his blood taken. His face was quite pale.
When Natalie spotted him, she quickly stood up and helped him sit on the bench. “Are you alright, Mr.
Sean?”
“I’m fine. I won’t die after drawing 400ml of blood, would I?” Sean waved his hands and replied
dismissively.
However, she became worried upon hearing that. “400ml? That’s a lot.”
The blood drawn for an adult should not exceed 400ml at once. However, he directly drew 400ml of
blood.
It indicated how severe Connor’s injury was.
As if he could read Natalie’s mind, he laughed. “Don’t worry, your son is not so seriously injured. I
asked the nurse and she said that he just lost a lot of blood. Other than a broken arm, he’s fine.”
“Really?” Natalie stared at him, overjoyed.
Sean adjusted his spectacles and replied, “What can I gain from lying to you? You can ask the doctor
when your son comes out of the operating theater.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That’s great!” She could tell that he was telling the truth. Clenching her fists in delight, she finally
smiled.
However, Sean clutched onto his arm and gasped in pain. “But your son hasn’t come out yet. You
should show more concern to me. After all, I drew 400 ml of blood for your son! How are you going to
repay this favor?”
The smile on Natalie’s face faded gradually. She cast her gaze downward and thought for a while.
“What do you want me to do? As long as you won’t force me to do anything bad or something that goes
against my wishes, anything is fine.”
“That’s what you said. I recorded everything.” Sean took out his phone from his pocket and waved it in
front of her.
Natalie’s lips twitched. “Even if you didn’t record it, I would’ve kept my word.”
“Good.” Satisfied, Sean kept his phone and said, “As for what I want you to do, it’s not the right time
yet. I’ll tell you when it’s time.”
When she heard that, she frowned. Despite feeling quite suspicious, she still nodded in agreement.
After all, it was an undeniable fact that he had saved Connor.
Furthermore, his promise to not let her do anything bad or something she disliked was sufficient.
