Yulia opened the door for her when she got home.

Natalie was shocked. “Mom, it’s so late. Why aren’t you asleep?”

“I was just watching television. Anyway, there’s something I want to tell you.” Yulia removed the facial mask on her face. “I am planning to leave the country tomorrow. Jared’s doctor called me this afternoon to say that he has been feeling unwell lately. I’ve got to go and take a look, or I won’t feel at ease.”

Natalie nodded. “Alright, I’ll send you to the airport then. I’ll go and take a shower first.”

“Go ahead.” Yulia dismissed her with a wave.

Thumping her shoulders, Natalie headed to the bathroom after getting her pajamas from her room.

After breakfast in the morning, Yulia brought Sharon to kindergarten while Natalie took Connor to the studio.

On the way, she received a call from Shane.

Natalie hesitated before answering, “Mr. Shane.’

“Ms. Smith,” Instead of Shane’s voice from the other end of the line, it was that of a gentle, middle-aged woman.

 

Natalie was stunned as she suddenly remembered who that voice belonged to. “Mrs. Wilson?”

“Yes, it’s me.” Mrs. Wilson nodded.
