Chapter 1247

Chapter 1247Perhaps because Natalie had sensed Silas's worry, she shook her head and said, “Don't worry. Sean
only knows that you've come to Nalanica. However, he isn't aware that you're checking out the islands.
Hence, I don't think he will move his hideout. Anyway, he's not on the island now, but I don't know
where he is.”
“Okay, that's great.” Silas heaved a sigh of relief.
Gazing at Silas, Natalie said, “Mr. Campbell, please pass the phone to Shane.”
“Okay. I'll do it right now.” Silas immediately nodded in response and opened the door of the
conference room.
When Shane came in hastily, Shane asked in a deep voice, “What's going on?”
“Shane!” The next moment, Natalie shouted before Silas could say a word.
Natalie recognized Shane's voice almost instantly, even though she hadn't seen his face yet.
Meanwhile, Shane was shocked once he heard Natalie's voice.
What's going on? Was it Natalie's voice or my illusion?
When Shane was at a loss, Natalie shouted again, “Shane, it's me!”

Silas held.
Shane stared at his phone for a few seconds before turning to Silas in shock.
Although Shane didn't say a word, Silas nodded and said, “Mr. Thompson, it's madam.”With that, he handed over the phone to Shane.
Shane was nervous, for his hands trembled a little as he grabbed the phone.
Nonetheless, Shane was surprisingly composed when he saw Natalie over the phone.
Natalie initially thought she would get emotional and cry once she saw Shane.
However, both of them were calm the moment they met each other.
At that time, Natalie felt that Shane had changed a lot.
After being with Shane, he was not so cold like before and was more down-to-earth.
However, the cold and stern expression had reappeared on Shane's face again.
Natalie couldn't help but feel heartbroken when she saw Shane's dark circles and the hint of tiredness
on his face.
“Shane, did you get any rest in these days?” As Natalie asked gently, she began to choke on her
words.
After a while, Shane replied, “I miss you and want to find you as soon as possible. Hence, I can't afford
to take a good rest. The clock is ticking.”
Tears almost streamed down Natalie's face when she heard that.
As Natalie looked at Shane, her eyes couldn't help but redden. “You dummy! You have to take care of
yourself even if you want to find me. What if you're exhausted and collapse before you can find me?”
“I won't,” Shane answered determinedly.Deep down, Shane wouldn't allow himself to fall before he could find Natalie.
Suddenly, Shane was shocked because he noticed a wound on Natalie's neck. Trying to suppress his
murderous aura, he asked coldly, “What happened to your neck?”
“Are you talking about this?” Natalie touched the wound on her neck.
Shane nodded in response.
Biting her lips, Natalie answered, “I did it. When Sean wanted to force himself on me, I cut him with a
knife and put it on my neck. Then, I threatened him that I would commit suicide if he refused to give up.
Shane, don't you think I am clever?”
Natalie successfully protected herself even when she was all alone.
In the meantime, Shane's expression turned grimmer.
Yes, she's clever. However, I can't praise her because she has hurt herself.
At the same time, Shane couldn't deny that Natalie successfully protected herself.
After giving it some thought, Shane gazed at Natalie and reminded her, “You could consider other ways
to protect yourself instead of hurting your body.”
Natalie laughed and responded, “I know. However, I didn't have many options, given the emergency.
Don't worry, Shane. I'll try other ways to protect myself. By the way, why don't you ask me why I have a
cell phone?”
Natalie deliberately changed the subject to stop Shane from dwelling on her wound, or else he would
be increasingly worried about her.
