Shane hummed a reply in acknowledgement.

As Jackson and the rest filed out of the room, Jacqueline went after them to try to find out what happened to Natalie.

Shane didn’t see them off. He sat beside the bed and took Natalie’s hand and stared at her silently.

He didn’t even dare to blink too much for he was afraid she might disappear without warning.

“Mr. Shane, should we inform Ms. Rivers that we’ve found madam?” Silas’ voice rang out suddenly. Shane didn’t even realize he was here.

Pressing a kiss on Natalie’s fingers, Shane ordered, “Let her know so she won’t worry.”

“Okay.” Silas nodded and turned to leave.

A moment later, Mrs. Wilson entered the bedroom with a bowl of warm soup, and the kids followed behind her.

The kids ran toward the bed and gazed at Natalie earnestly.

They were worried for her, but they didn’t want to disturb her and only gazed at her quietly.

 

“Mr. Shane, I heard from Mr. Campbell that you haven’t rested for a day. Here’s some chicken soup to boost your energy. You should get some rest after that,” said Mrs. Wilson, concern evident in her voice. She couldn’t help but worry when she saw Shane’s bloodshot eyes and the stubble on his jaw.

Connor chimed in, “Yes, Daddy. You should finish the chicken soup and go to bed.”
