Chapter 1138

Natalie was so happy that she couldn’t fall asleep that night. The next morning, she excitedly packed
her stuff and was waiting for Silas in the living room before the sun was even up.

Silas arrived at around seven, and Natalie told Connor to wait for them at home before heading out.

The drive took a little over an hour, but every second felt like a year to Natalie as she was dying to see
Shane.

They eventually arrive at the location according to the address provided by the police.

It was an ordinary village that was neither impoverished nor wealthy.

As such, the villagers were incredibly curious when cars that they had only seen on television entered
their village.

They all came out of their houses to have a look, and some of the younger ones even took pictures
using their cell phones.

“What’s going on? Why are there so many fancy cars here?”

“I don’t know. Maybe some rich guy plans on acquiring this land and turning it into a holiday resort or
something. That kind of stuff was pretty popular a while back! Remember how all of Redland Village
moved when their land was bought over? Man, I was so envious of them…”

“They might just be traveling here. The scenery here is beautiful, after all.”

“Why would rich people come to a poor village like this on vacation?”

Silas heard the villagers talking about them when he got out of the car, but he ignored them and walked
straight toward the stretch limousine in the middle.



“We’re here, madam. Come on,” he said while opening the car door.

Natalie nodded and held his hand as she got out of the car.

“Where’s Lucy’s house?” she asked after steadying herself and pulling her hand back.

“Right up ahead. It’s a two-minute walk from here,” Silas replied as he closed the car door behind them.

Natalie nodded. “Okay.”

Silas then led the way while Natalie followed behind with a team of bodyguards and doctors.

The villagers too, followed them from a distance as they wanted to see where the large group of people
were headed.

After a brief walk, the villagers saw them stop outside Lucy’s house and realized they were looking for
her.

“Why do you think they’re looking for Lucy?”

“I have no idea. Could it be that she’s actually the daughter of some rich family? Maybe they’re here to
take her home? That’s what usually happens in those TV shows, right?”

“Bullsh*t! The Rivers have been living here for eight generations now! Besides, Lucy looks so much like
her parents, so there’s no way she’s the daughter of some rich family! I bet these guys are here for the
man she brought home!”

The villagers weren’t talking very loudly, but Natalie had heard everything they said.

The front gate of Lucy’s house was locked with a huge padlock, which was a clear sign that no one was
home. As it wasn’t appropriate to just barge right in, Natalie turned around and approached the



villagers instead.

The villagers gasped in shock when they got a closer look at her face, and it took them all a few
seconds to regain their composure.

“My goodness, she looks so beautiful! Even the actresses on TV don’t look this amazing!” an old lady
exclaimed.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Natalie chuckled in amusement when she heard that. “Hello, ma’am. I heard you saying the owner of
this house rescued a man. Is that correct?”

“Yeah, that man was really handsome! I’ve never seen a guy that handsome all my life! I don’t even
know where Lucy found him! By the way, why are you asking about him? Are you all really here for that
man?”

All eyes were fixated on Natalie.

“Yes, he’s my husband. Something happened to him a while back, and he went missing for a couple of
days. We’ve been searching for him ever since and heard he had been rescued by Ms. Rivers, so we
came over as quickly as we could. I’m here to take my husband home,” Natalie replied with a nod.
