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.

So she meant me too?

Shane pressed his lips together and retorted unhappily, “I'm your husband.”

“So what?” Natalie stared at him indifferently.

You're a husband who doesn't trust his own wife.

Why should I bother entertaining him?

Shane frowned. “I'm different from them.”

“What's so different about you? Just like them, you don't believe me and think that I really pushed Jacqueline!”

Natalie yelled.

Shane massaged the space between his brows and replied wearily, “I already told you, I don't think you pushed

Jacqueline.”

“But you don't doubt what she said either. Doesn't that automatically mean you think I pushed her?” Natalie said

pointedly with a short laugh.

Shane sighed softly and lifted his hand to touch her, but she swiftly evaded him. “Don't touch me.”

Shane's hand was left hanging midair. Several seconds later, he closed his hand into a fist and drew back. “Yes, I

don't doubt what Jacqueline said either. We grew up together, so I know what kind of person she is-”

“People change!” Natalie cut him off mercilessly. “Everyone grows up and learns how to pretend. The current

Jacqueline may not be the same Jacqueline you knew back then, but you just haven't realized that yet.”

Shane's expression turned grave. “So you're saying, Jacqueline was pretending earlier?”

“That's right.” Subsequently, Natalie recounted everything that happened before the two men showed up.

By the time she was done, there was already a deep frown on Shane's face.

A trace of warmth finally returned to Natalie's face when she saw Shane taking her words into account. She inhaled

deeply before continuing, “She did it because she wants you to misunderstand me and think that I pushed her. It's

all to drive a wedge between us and sabotage our relationship.”

Shane clenched his fists tightly, only loosening them after quite some time to reply in a deep voice, “I understand.

Since I already said I won't pursue this matter, let's just leave it at that.”

Natalie pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved. “So I should just swallow down this injustice?”

Shane tugged her into his arms. “I'm sorry. This is the first and also the last time.”

Natalie pushed him away. “Fine. You can leave now. I need to be alone.”
