Yulia’s action startled Natalie and the kids, while Shane did not react much. He simply stood up together with Natalie.

Meanwhile, Sharon tugged on the corners of her brother’s shirt as she whispered, “Connor, why is Grandma mad at Mommy?”

Connor responded with a shake of his head without uttering any word because he knew that Sharon would not understand what “kidnapped” meant even if he explained.

Grandma must be mad because Mommy didn’t tell her that she was kidnapped.

Just as he thought, Natalie threw a nervous glance at Yulia before calling out guiltily, “Mom…”

“Don’t you “mom” me! Why didn’t you tell me you were kidnapped?” Yulia glared at her daughter.

Deciding to face the older woman’s wrath in Natalie’s place, Shane pulled the latter behind her to shield her from Yulia. “Nattie just didn’t want to worry you, Yulia.”

“And that gives you the right to keep this from me? Have you guys ever thought about how I would feel if something were to happen to her? Not only would I be worried, but I would also be left heartbroken!” shouted the older woman as her eyes gradually reddened.

Natalie knew she had frightened her mom when she noticed the crack and the fear in her voice. “I’m sorry, Mom,” she apologized while stepping out from behind Shane. “But look at me, I’m fine, aren’t I? Shane showed up in the nick of time and stopped the kidnappers.”
