“She’s already fine. As she did not swallow too much water and had received immediate medical
attention, she’ll be alright after sleeping. However, the other patient is in a worse state. He might have
to rest for a couple of days more,” explained the nurse.
Shane nodded in acknowledgment and waved his hands in dismissal.
After the nurse left, he sat down on a chair beside the bed. He could not calm himself down as he
solemnly stared at Natalie, who was sleeping on the bed.
He came here to confirm if Jasmine was right. After what happened earlier, he was finally certain that
he had indeed fallen in love with Natalie.
When she almost sank into the depths of the ocean, he was so anxious that it felt like his heart had
stopped. If it were not for love, he would not have felt that way.
Shane touched his chest. His heartbeat seemed quicker than usual, which was something he had
never experienced before.
“Mr. Shane!” An abrupt voice interrupted his thoughts.
Frowning, he placed his hands down and glanced over at the entrance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSilas walked in urgently. “I found out that Ms. Smith did not fall into the sea on her own accord.
Someone pushed her!”
“Someone pushed her?” Shane immediately sprang up.
Silas nodded. “Yes. The culprit is Andre’s daughter, who likes Dr. Quinn. She wants Ms. Smith to leave
his side, but she refused. Hence, his daughter’s friends pushed Ms. Smith into the sea to avenge her.”
“I see,” scoffed Shane coldly.
Stanley said that I’ll only cause trouble to Natalie, but isn’t he doing the same?
What right does he have to talk to me like that?
“Mr. Shane, how do you plan to deal with this?” Silas asked Shane, who had an unpleasant expression
on his face.
He pursed his lips and replied, “What happened to Andre’s daughter?”
“He has already locked her up and is planning to apologize to Mr. Smith after she wakes up. From what
he said, it sounds like he intends to send his daughter back after she apologizes,” replied Silas as he
adjusted his spectacles.
Shane laughed coldly. “Someone almost died. How can a mere apology suffice? Delete our drafted
contract.”
Silas raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Mr. Shane, we’re not going to collaborate with the Hill family
anymore? They just opened a diamond mine and our jewelry business is lacking a batch of raw
diamonds.”
“The Hill family is not the only ones in this world who owns a diamond mine. It’s not like I have no
choice but to collaborate with them!” stated Shane coldly as he narrowed his eyes.
Since that was Shane’s decision, Silas was in no position to rebuke. Shooting a meaningful glance at
Natalie, who was lying on the hospital bed, he nodded. “I understand. Do I inform the Hill family now
about terminating our collaboration?”
“There’s no need for that. Tell them after they apologize.” Shane waved his hands dismissively.
Silas nodded. “Okay, then I’ll take my leave first.”
Shane grunted in acknowledgment and sat down again after he left.
Feeling his head aching, he massaged the sides of his temples. Then, he laid his head down on the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbed and fell asleep.
After playing a few rounds of tennis with Andre and jumping into the sea to save Natalie, he felt
exhausted from all the physical exertion. He really needed a good rest.
Hence, he slept all the way until night time.
When Natalie woke up, the first thing that she saw was the ceiling. She could already vaguely deduce
where she was at.
Shaking her head gently, she tried to sit up on the bed when she felt something pressing against her
blanket, making it hard for her to sit up.
When she turned around and glanced in that direction, she spotted Shane resting his head there and
sleeping. She let out a soft yelp in surprise, which woke Shane up.
He opened his eyes and sat up straight. Noticing Natalie staring right at him, his eyes gleamed. “You’ve
woken up?”
Natalie instinctively nodded.
Touching her forehead gently, he asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable?”
To that, she shook her head.
“Are you hungry?” asked Shane as he placed his hand down.
