Chapter 1147

Chapter 1147Joyce is right. Had Lucy not shown up, the manager would've found Shane very quickly, and I wouldn't
have gotten the call about him going missing which resulted in Anders being born prematurely. Still, I
can't blame Lucy for everything, though. She had indeed saved Shane out of goodwill, after all. I guess
everything that happened was just fated to happen.
Natalie lowered her gaze at the thought of that.
As Joyce was managing the entire company by herself, she was really busy and left the hospital after
keeping Natalie company for three hours.
Natalie then had the bodyguards bring Mrs. Wilson back to her ward after that, leaving Connor and
herself in the ward with Shane.
In the meantime, the rest of the bodyguards stood guard outside the ward.
“I looked up some information on Lucy, Mommy,” Connor said all of a sudden.
“Why would you look her up?” Natalie asked.
“I did some digging out of curiosity when I heard you and Aunt Joyce talking about her earlier. Guess
what? Aunt Joyce is right about Lucy being a gold digger!” Connor replied with a smile.
Natalie arched an eyebrow at him. “Oh? How so?”
“According to the information I found, Lucy has a childhood sweetheart who happens to be from the
richest family in the village. She loved hanging around with him because he would always give her lots
of presents. However, she found one of her male classmates a lot more attractive when she was in
high school. She then began distancing herself from her childhood sweetheart and got closer with that
male student. Her childhood sweetheart told her to stay away from her classmate when he found out
about it, but she refused and said she got along better with her classmate. The truth is, she was onlybeing close with that classmate because he gave her much better presents. In university, she got to
know a lot of rich students. Everyone could see that she was a gold digger, but she refused to admit to
it and insisted that she was just friends with those rich students.”
Having understood what he meant, Natalie said with a chuckle, “Her being a gold digger has nothing to
do with us. If it's money that she wants, then we'll just give it to her. We won't be in contact anymore
after we repay the favor.”
Connor nodded. “You're right, Mommy!”
Noticing the sleepiness in his eyes, Natalie asked, “Are you tired? How about I carry you onto the bed
so you can sleep with Daddy?”
“Yeah!”
Natalie then carried him onto the hospital bed and helped take his shoes off.
Connor rolled around for a bit before climbing under the cover and snuggling up to Shane.
Wow, this is the first time I'm sleeping with Daddy!
Connor giggled excitedly at the thought of that and fell asleep shortly after.
Natalie pulled the cover over their shoulders before giving Sally a call on the balcony to ask about
Sharon and Anders.
She was only able to truly feel at ease when Sally told her that Sharon and Anders were sleeping
soundly.
“Have you found Mr. Thompson yet?” Sally asked.
Natalie glanced at the ward behind her and nodded as she said, “Yeah, I have.”The link to the origin of this information rests in n0v3lebook.org“That's great!” Sally was really happy for her.
“Yeah, it is. I've sent Silas to go bring Sharon home. Would you like to come back together?”
“I think I'll stay here for the time being. Lina said she wanted to host a design exhibition, and I promised
to be her model, remember?”
Oh, right... I totally forgot about that!
“Okay, then. When Shane wakes up, I'll have him give Silas some time off to keep you company!”
Natalie said with a smile.
Sally clapped her hands happily. “That would be awesome! Thanks, Nat!”
Natalie shook her head. “There is no need to thank me! I should be the one thanking you two instead!
Had you two not been here by my side throughout all this, I probably wouldn't be able to cope with
losing Shane, and Anders might have... You know what, let's not talk about this. It's all in the past now.
We'll treat you two to a meal when Shane gets better, okay?”
“Sure! We'll be waiting for your invitation, then!”
They then carried on chatting for a little while longer before ending the call.
