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.

“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.
