Chapter 872

Everyone thought that Catherine was loyal in her affections, but never had they known that despite her
loyalty, it was also a fact that she had a lover behind Sam’s back.

Well, things were always complicated among wealthy families.

“I’m back, Mr. Shane.” Silas returned to Thompson Group after fulfilling his task and reported Sam’s
condition to Shane.

After listening to him, Shane’s thin lips curved into a cold smile.

In all honestly, he wasn’t the least bit satisfied to let Sam off so easily when he was still alive while his
child would be gone soon.

Furthermore, Sam stilled owed him for his parent’s death, so mere paralyzation was nothing.

He had even decided to give up doing things the legal way and secretly eliminate Sam himself instead of
waiting for the law to sentence him to death if he really couldn’t find the will in the end.

It was no big deal since he could simply leave no tracks so that no one would be able to trace it back to
him. That was entirely possible, given his capability.

Once that thought emerged, it grew roots and planted itself in his mind like an unmovable tree,
embedding itself ever deeper that it could no longer be removed.

In fact, Shane had now decided to only give himself half a year. If he couldn’t find the will within that time,
he would really finish Sam off.



He didn’t want to allow him to live any longer, feeling that it was time for him to go and keep his parents
company in the afterlife.



“You may leave now. Also, make an appointment with Jackson. I’m going to look for him at the hospital in
the afternoon.” Shane waved a dismissive hand.

After grunting in acknowledgment, Silas pivoted and left.

After he had left, Shane opened his drawer and took out an old letter. It was none other than the letter
which he took from his grandfather’s study back then that contained an apology and the will’s
whereabouts.

It was written that the will was with his parents.

What does it mean by that?

As Shane stared at that sentence, his face darkened incrementally.

In the afternoon, he went to the hospital and met with Jackson.

Jackson was in a bad way because of Jacqueline’s matter recently, so the hospital didn’t dare allow him
to perform any operations. And it was precisely for that reason that he had time to meet with Shane.

“Why are you here?” Jackson asked distractedly.

Staring at him, Shane replied, “Natalie is pregnant.”

Jackson was startled for a moment before asking again, “She’s pregnant?”

Shane nodded in affirmation.

Finally, a smile bloomed on Jackson’s face. “Congratulations! You’ve just recovered, yet she’s already
pregnant. It’s evident that your virility is truly astounding!”



Shane’s handsome countenance darkened at that remark. “Alright, cut it out. I’m here to ask you whether
the medicine I was taking previously will affect the baby.”

Since the child was conceived while he was taking the medicine, that was likely the cause of the
deformity.

And he came here precisely to confirm it.

However, Jackson shook his head. “It won’t affect the baby. The medicine itself is for your sterility and to
boost your virility, so it won’t affect the baby Natalie is carrying.”

“Really?” Shane demanded with narrowed eyes.

“Of course! Why would I lie to you?” Puzzlement filled Jackson at his demeanor.

Shouldn’t he be relieved and delighted upon hearing that? Why are his brows furrowing even deeper?

Shane gritted his molars, his expression terrifyingly grim.

That, in turn, baffled Jackson. “What’s wrong with you?”

Clenching his fists, Shane gritted, “The baby in Natalie’s stomach has been found to be deformed. I
suspected that it was caused by the medicine I took, but you said it won’t affect the baby. So, I’m
wondering why the baby would be deformed.”

“What? Did you just say that the baby is deformed?” Jackson’s voice rose a few decibels.

In response, Shane nodded.

Raking a hand through his hair, Jackson exclaimed, “That’s impossible! Anyway, it’s definitely not the
medicine, so the reason probably lies with Natalie.”



“It’s not her,” Shane countered with all the certainty in the world. “She has had children, so she must
know the dos and don’ts during pregnancy. As such, it can’t possibly be her.”

“That’s strange, then. Why would the baby be deformed?” Jackson couldn’t think of any other reason.

Shane was silent for a few seconds. Then, he said, “I’m going over during the weekend to see what
exactly happened.”

“That’s a good idea.” Jackson nodded in agreement.

At that, Shane spun around to leave.
