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.
