“Out of immediate danger? Does that mean Mrs. Wilson has been in a critical condition?” Natalie balled up her fists. “Shane, what exactly happened to her? Has she fallen sick or something?”

Shane’s expression hardened, and his gaze was as cold as ice. “She was pushed down the stairs and was severely injured. That’s why she’s in the hospital now.”

“What?” Natalie’s eyes widened. “How did it happen?”

“Someone broke into the Thompson villa last night and rummaged around our bedroom and study, looking for something but to no avail. The man went downstairs and bumped into Mrs. Wilson as she was going upstairs, and he pushed her down. Fortunately, she had only climbed up a few steps, or else she would have been killed given her old age,” Shane answered.

The woman bit her lip. “How severe are her injuries?”

“Her back was hurt, and she hit her head. Other than that, she’s fine. The man was in a hurry to make a run for it, so he did not murder Mrs. Wilson. Fortunately, shortly after she was knocked out, the security guard saw that the door was open, so he came in to check if everything was fine. He found Mrs. Wilson unconscious and sent her to the hospital. Since her phone was not with her, the security guard could not get in touch with me, so he called the company and the manager contacted me.”

“I see…” Knowing that Mrs. Wilson was not gravely injured, she heaved a sigh of relief.

The two children felt relieved as well.
