At that thought, Natalie smiled bitterly. She rested her head on one side of the bed and fell asleep.

However, she was woken up by a video-call at night.

Sharon pouted and asked, “When are you coming home, Mommy?”

Natalie gazed affectionately at her daughter. “I might take a while. Something happened here, so I can’t return for the time being. Do you miss me?”

“Yeah, I do.” Sharon nodded.

Suddenly, Connor snatched the phone away with a solemn look on his face. “Mommy, what happened?”

Glancing at Shane, who was lying on the hospital bed, Natalie’s gaze flitted shiftily. “It’s something about work. You children shouldn’t ask too many questions.”

She promised Silas that she would not tell anyone that Shane was injured.

“Okay, I won’t ask anymore.” Connor shrugged before adding, “Oh, right. When I was going home from school today, an old man stopped Sharon and I.”

“An old man?” Natalie frowned as her expression became serious. “How does he look like?”

Sharon raised her hand quickly. “I know! He looks really fierce and has a mole here.”
