His nonchalant tone made Natalie feel somewhat disappointed as she nodded. “Okay. Understood.”

At that time, Shane’s cell phone rang.

Taking out his phone and checking it, he excused himself and rose from his seat to answer the call in a quiet corner.

He returned to the table looking grave after the call ended.

When Natalie saw his expression, she couldn’t help becoming concerned. “Mr. Shane, is there anything wrong? You can go if you have something urgent to attend to.”

“Never mind. I will visit her tomorrow,” Shane lowered his gaze and said softly.

“Her?” Natalie’s curiosity was aroused. “Who?”

“A friend. She’s going for surgery tomorrow.” Shane pulled out the chair and sat down.

Natalie immediately knew who it was. She must be Jacqueline.
