Chapter 1136

One group was in charge of searching the homes of farmers nearby while the other searched clinics
and hospitals within a ten-mile radius.

Natalie couldn’t walk too much as her wound had yet to scab over, so she brought Connor back to the
Thompson villa and waited for an update on the search.

Silas came rushing over at nightfall and shouted, “We’ve found something, madam!”

Natalie was having dinner when she heard that, and she leaped to her feet in excitement. “You found
Shane?”

Connor too, held his hands up in joy.

However, Silas simply shook his head and said, “No, but we did find some clues.”

The light in Natalie’s eyes faded, and she looked a little disappointed.

Regardless, she pulled herself together and took a deep breath as she asked, “What did you find?”

She was indeed disappointed that they had yet to find Shane but knowing they managed to find some
clues to his whereabouts made her feel slightly better.

Silas took a moment to drink some water and catch his breath before replying, “Mr. Thompson was
indeed rescued by a young woman.”

“A young woman?” Natalie couldn’t help but frown in jealousy, but quickly regained her composure by
reminding herself that the woman had saved Shane’s life.

She then gave herself a little smack on the cheek for being so petty and recollected herself before
asking, “So, the tricycle belongs to that young woman?”



“That’s right. I headed over to a hospital about twelve miles away from the river and managed to get
some information on Mr. Thompson. According to the hospital staff, a woman brought Mr. Thompson to
the hospital on a tricycle. However, she got him discharged yesterday and has already left the hospital
with him.”

“Did they say anything about Shane’s current condition?” Natalie wanted to know if Shane was injured
anywhere.

Silas nodded. “Yes. They told me that Mr. Thompson has a couple of scrapes on his body, but his head
has suffered severe trauma from the impact. He has been unconscious throughout the past few days,
so we don’t know if he has woken up yet.”

“I knew it…” Natalie slumped against her chair.

My suspicions were correct! Shane really was unconscious the whole time! He would’ve come back to
me if he regained consciousness!

“Where did the woman take him?” she asked while rubbing her forehead.

Silas sighed. “I don’t know. The hospital staff said they’ve never seen her around, so she probably lives
in a different town. They don’t know her exact address, but she couldn’t have gotten far on that tricycle.
It’s battery-powered and would’ve run out of juice within thirty miles.”

“Did the hospital staff get the woman’s phone number?”

“Yup, I have it right here,” Silas replied as he handed her a piece of paper with the woman’s name and
phone number on it.

Natalie took a look at it and read the name out loud, “Lucy Rivers…”



“I’ve tried calling the number on my way here, but there was no answer, so I went to the police station
in town. They said they would look up Ms. Rivers’s address and contact us if they find anything,” Silas
added.

“All right, I…”

Natalie was cut off mid-sentence by the sound of Silas’ phone ringing.

“Check and see if it’s the police station calling! Hurry!” she urged him with her eyes wide.

Silas nodded and quickly whipped out his phone.

“Yes, it is.”

“I’ll talk to them!” Natalie snatched the phone over and answered the call.

The police station had found Lucy’s address and called to inform them about it.
