Chapter 820

Chapter 820Natalie had always disliked how close Jacqueline was to Shane and had asked him to distance himself
from her. That was why Jacqueline decided to find a boyfriend to lower Natalie and Shane's guard. She
had to make them think that she had given up on Shane.
Coincidentally, Jackson was pursuing her at that time, so Jacqueline agreed to be his girlfriend.
Jacqueline's silence got Jackson to mock himself further.
He took his glasses off and wiped his eyes a little before saying, “You know what, Jacqueline Graham?
I truly loved you. I knew that you were vicious, but I loved you anyway. However, I never thought that
you would be this cruel to me.”
“I'm sorry,” said Jacqueline. Deep down, she was feeling a little guilty.
She didn't love him, but he was her friend, after all.
Although she knew that she had done him wrong, there was nothing else she could do except
apologize.
“There's no need to apologize. You asked to break up, and I agree. We're done, Jacqueline Graham!”
said Jackson before he hung up.
While Jacqueline stared at her phone, a strange emptiness crept up on her. It was as if she had just
lost something important, and that got her to panic.
However, she was quick to regain her footing, and her expression turned firm.
I didn't do anything wrong. What I did was for my own sake, so it wasn't a mistake.Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookOn the other side of that line, Jackson returned to where Silas and Joyce were after hanging up,
looking sullen.
Seeing him like that, Joyce could not help but pity him. She asked, “Dr. Baker, are you alright?”
Jackson slumped down onto the bench with his head down. It was as if he couldn't hear what she said.
When Joyce saw that the other party was ignoring her, she merely shrugged and stopped talking.
She was never the kind of person who would butter anyone up, anyway.
It didn't take long before Shane's report was out, and the doctor approached them.
Silas was quick to stop the doctor and ask, “Doctor, how is Mr. Shane?”
Joyce hurried over to the doctor as well.
Even Jackson, who was still reeling in from the pain of his breakup, lifted his head.
The doctor removed his mask and answered, “He's fine. He ingested too much sedative, but we've
already administered the antidote, so he will likely regain consciousness soon.”
“That's great news,” said Silas before he sighed a breath of relief.
Joyce smiled and said, “I've got to tell Nat the good news.”
Hearing that reminded Silas that he hadn't asked about Natalie yet.
Hence, he quickly inquired, “Ms. Rivers, is Madam doing okay?”
Joyce rolled her eyes and complained, “What do you think? When Nat first saw the photo, she got so
angry that it affected the baby, and she had to be hospitalized. The baby would have been gone if Sallywasn't there!”
Silas gasped upon hearing that. He had just realized that things were more grave than he initially
thought.
“Is the baby okay now?” asked Silas again.
Joyce answered, “The baby's fine. They got to the hospital in time.”
“Oh, thank the heavens,” murmured Silas as he patted his chest. He felt like he was on an emotional
rollercoaster and had been tossed up and down mercilessly. I won't be surprised if all this sh*t gives me
a heart attack someday.
We're lucky that everything turned out okay. If the worst had happened... Oh dear, who knows what Mr.
Shane will do if he learns that Madam had a miscarriage?
Shane was taken to the ward soon after.
After telling Natalie that Shane was fine, Joyce got ready to leave the hospital and head back to the
office.
After all, Joyce was the only manager available in the company, so she had tons to do.
Shortly after Joyce left, Shane woke up.
Silas propped him up with a pillow.
Shane massaged his dizzy head and asked in a cold tone, “Have you caught the person who drugged
me?”If Silas found me and sent me to the hospital, then he must've already learned about me being
drugged. There's no way he hasn't apprehended the person who drugged me.
Silas nodded and answered, “Yes.”
“What is her name?” demanded Shane while narrowing his eyes.
The mere thought of how the woman refused to let him go made Shane feel like breaking her neck.
He hated getting drugged ever since Sean conned him five years ago.
