Chapter 1146

After putting her phone away, Natalie sat down beside the hospital bed and held Shane’s hand as she
fell asleep.

Jackson gave Shane a check-up two days later, and Natalie asked him about Shane’s condition as she
walked him out the door.

She was mainly asking why Shane had yet to wake up, and Jackson was about to say something when
Connor shouted excitedly from inside the ward, “Mommy! Daddy’s awake!”

Natalie froze for a brief moment when she heard that, and got all worked up after processing what he
said.

Oh, my god! Shane is awake!

She then ran into the ward while Jackson followed swiftly behind.

Shane had opened his eyes and was gently caressing Connor’s head as he lay on the hospital bed.

He glanced at Natalie when he heard her coming in, and he had a gentle yet apologetic look in his eyes
as he said, “I’m sorry for making you worry so much Honey.”

When Shane first opened his eyes, Connor told him about how restless Natalie had been when he was
unconscious for so many days.

Judging by the dark circles under Natalie’s eyes and how skinny she looked, he could tell that she
wasn’t eating properly either.

Natalie bit down on her lip as tears of joy flowed down her cheeks.

Shane reached his hand out toward her, and Natalie sniffled as she placed her hand in his.



Shane gave her hand a little squeeze and said, “You’ve become skinnier.”

Unable to contain her emotions any longer, Natalie threw herself into his arms and burst out crying.

Shane understood how she was feeling and gently patted her on the back while repeatedly whispering
into her ear, “I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

He knew she must’ve been really scared when he disappeared all of a sudden and became
unconscious.

Jackson exchanged glances with Connor, and he quickly carried him to one side in order to give them
some space.

He waited till Natalie’s sobbing grew softer before giving her a little pat on the hand. “Come on, Natalie.
I need to examine Shane for any problems with his vision and joints.”

I wasn’t able to carry out those examinations due to Shane being unconscious before, but I can do that
now that he’s awake!

Natalie wiped her tears. “All right, go ahead.”

She was about to step aside, but Shane grabbed her by the arm and said, “Stay here with me.”

Natalie nodded with a smile. “Okay, I’ll stay with you. Dr. Baker, is it okay if I stand here?”

Jackson glanced at them holding hands and said, “Yeah, sure. The joints in his hands seem to be fine,
so I’ll move on to his vision and the joints in his legs.”

After conducting a thorough examination on Shane’s eyes and knees, he pulled a pen out of his pocket
and scribbled into Shane’s medical records as he said, “His vision and joints are all in good condition,
but he will need to undergo physiotherapy for a while. this is because he has been lying down for too



long, his muscles are showing some mild signs of atrophy. It’ll take about two days of exercise for them
to recover.”

Natalie nodded. “Understood, I’ll make sure he gets it done!”

“All right, then. I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone now. Just give me a call if you need anything. See
you!” Jackson said with a smile before leaving the ward.

Connor winked at Natalie and said, “I’ll go tell Mrs. Wilson that Daddy’s awake!”

Of course, Natalie knew he was trying to give them some time alone. As there were bodyguards
around to protect him, she agreed to it right away. “Go on, then. Make sure to behave yourself!”

“Okay!” Connor then waved goodbye at them and ran out of the ward as well.
