“Nat, are you feeling any better?” Stanley asked her gently.
Natalie responded and mustered a little smile. “A little better.”
“Mommy...” The two children looked up at her and their worry was clear for all to see.
Natalie bent down to pat their heads. “Don’t worry, Mommy is fine.”
“Mommy, I’m scared.” Sharon ran into her arms. “I nearly lost you, Mommy.”
“Yes, who is so cruel to have want you dead?” Connor clenched his fists and anger was written all over
his little face.
Yulia pursed her lips. “According to the police, it is possibly someone that we know. Otherwise, how
would they know Natalie’s whereabouts so well, even to the extent of laying an ambush at the
restroom?”
“That’s right, I think it’s someone we know too.” Natalie nodded.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookA glint flashed across Stanley’s eyes. “Nat, who do you have in mind?”
Natalie’s lips moved as she prepared to answer him. At the same time, a car honked from a short
distance away.
Then, two flashes of light appeared and shone upon them. It was so bright they could barely keep their
eyes open.
“Who is that?” Yulia held her hands in front of her eyes.“It’s Mr. Shane.” The two children blinked and jumped with joy when they saw the tall figure walking
towards them against the light.
“Mr. Shane.” The two children ran towards Shane.
Stanley sensed danger and his eyes narrowed when he saw how enthusiastic the two children were
when they saw Shane. However, he quickly regained his normal self.
Shane bent down and picked up Sharon while holding Connor’s hand with his other hand. He walked
up to Natalie and gave her a once-over. “Are you alright?”
Natalie nodded. “How did you know I was in trouble?”
“Jackson told me. He was in the restaurant too.” Shane answered lightly.
Natalie looked up in realization. “I see.”
“Did they get the culprit?” Shane put Sharon down and asked.
“No, but I think that the culprit was just acting under orders, and the real mastermind is still out there.”
Yulia sighed.
Natalie’s gaze was fixated on Shane.
Yulia saw it and was rather confused. “Nat, why are you looking at Shane like this?”
Natalie’s eyes twinkled a little. “Nothing.”
She moved her gaze away.
Shane could see that there was something off about her and his eyes darkened. However, he did not
ask her and merely suggested, “Yulia, it’s getting late. I’ll send you all home.”“Alright.” Yulia nodded. “Thank you, Shane.”
“In that case, I won’t come with you, Yulia.” Stanley smiled.
Just when Yulia was about to ask him why, he said, “I have a surgery early tomorrow morning, and I’d
like to go back to get some rest.”
“In that case, do be careful on your way home.” Yulia agreed.
Natalie and the two children waved goodbye to him as well.
Only Shane had no response and stood there as if he did not see him.
Stanley did not mind, and bade farewell to Shane graciously before he drove away.
“Let’s go then.” Yulia looked away only when Stanley’s car vanished from their view.
Shane gave a little nod in response.
On the way back, Yulia looked at Shane and asked him, “Shane, I forgot to ask, why did you suddenly
look for us?”
“The Thompson Group owns part of the Empire Restaurant. With something like this happening, I have
to do something as one of the bosses.” Shane looked down and said coolly.
Yulia was mildly disappointed as she thought it was because he was worried about Nat.
Seems like I was overthinking it. It is unrequited love for Nat!
“Mr. Shane, could I ask you something?” Natalie suddenly asked after she got both children to sleep.
Shane glanced at her from his rearview mirror. “Ask away.”“Do you think Jasmine was the one who wanted me dead?” Natalie asked while pinching her palms.
