Shane didn’t stay for too long upstairs, and very soon, he came down.

Natalie looked at him. “Shane, is Ms. Graham okay?”

Natalie heaved a sigh. “I told Connor already, and he’ll not argue with Ms. Graham anymore.”

Shane responded with a brief hum. “I understand that you and the two children don’t really welcome Jacqueline. Don’t worry, she’ll not stay here for too long. Mr. Gunn is aware that Jacqueline has been discharged from the hospital, and he’ll take her in and let her stay there for a while.”

“Mr. Gunn?” Natalie frowned in puzzlement. “Are Ms. Graham and Mr. Gunn related?”
