Chapter 102
Before she lost consciousness, she could detect the sight of the door being opened as a familiar and gigantic figure made his way into the cell.
Natalie, who was on the verge of passing out, asked, “Mr. Shane?”
The person who had entered the cell remained silent.
She groaned in pain and wanted to open her eyes to figure out the person who had entered the cell, yet she couldn’t bring herself to open her drowsy pair of eyes. In the end, she couldn’t take it anymore and passed out in front of the man.
The figure of the fragile woman could be seen through the reflection of Sean’s glasses. He looked at her and lifted her up.
As soon as they made their way out of the police station, a black Maybach pulled over and stopped in front of them.
Shane alighted from the luxurious vehicle and frowned when he saw Natalie between Sean’s arms.
However, the moment he realized Natalie seemed to have passed out with her face flushing, he decided to put his emotions aside for the time being. “What’s wrong with her?”
Sean sized Shane up and replied nonchalantly, “She has caught a fever. What are you doing here when you’re supposed to keep Jacqueline company? She’s about to go through a surgical operation, right?”
Shane ignored him and stretched out his arms, instructing indifferently, “I’ll take care of her from now onwards.”
Holding Natalie in between his arms, Sean took a step back and asked rhetorically, “What if I refused to?”
Truth be told, Sean had rushed over to her rescue because he wanted her to owe him a favor. This would give him a reason to approach her and achieve his ulterior motive.
Hence, he wouldn’t allow Shane to get in his way and ruin his flawless plan.
Since Sean had no intention to hand Natalie over to him, Shane narrowed his eyes and yelled, “Silas!”
“Yes!” Silas got out of the car immediately and rushed over to Sean’s side and rendered him incapable of movement.
“What are you trying to do?” Sean’s face puckered in irritation.
Narrowing his eyes, Silas denoted, “Mr. Sean, allow me to advise you to stay still. Otherwise, you’re going to drop Ms. Smith and hurt her.”
Initially, Sean was about to retaliate against Silas, yet the moment he heard the latter’s warning, he remained static and had no choice but to allow Shane to bring Natalie away from him.
As soon as Shane got his hands on Natalie, he returned to the car. Just when he was about to board the car, Sean yelled, “You know what? You’re behaving as though you’re jealous!”
Shane felt a chill running down his spine for a moment there, but he regained his composure soon. He turned around and explained, “I’m sure you’re overthinking this because I’m merely trying to prevent you from getting your hands on her. Why else would you want to win her over all of a sudden? Isn’t it obvious? You’re trying to get something from her, right?”
As soon as Shane finished his sentence, he boarded the car before Sean could even reply to his query.
Immediately after Silas moved away from Sean, he returned to the car and departed right away.
Staring at the departing Maybach, Sean stretched his arms to loosen up his muscles.
Shane, it’s obvious that you have fallen in love with her, yet you’re trying to deny the affection you have for her. If that’s the case, don’t blame me for what’s to come because I will get my hands on everything you possess by hook or by crook! I will definitely win Natalie over. I’m pretty sure it will be an interesting sight for Natalie to address me as her husband and the children to address me as their father in front of you!
As he thought about it, he started laughing hysterically in the middle of the street.
Meanwhile, Silas queried as he continued driving, “Mr. Shane, where are we heading to?”
Shane took a peek at Natalie and instructed, “Drop by the nearest apartment.”
Meanwhile, the unconscious woman leaned against the door. She had curled up into a ball while crossing her arms, trembling. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She began to murmur, “I-It’s so cold…”
He hesitated for a few seconds before removing his blazer and placing it on her to keep her warm.
Just when Shane was about to move away after covering her with his blazer, Natalie reached over and wrapped her arm around his waist all of a sudden. Eventually, she leaned over and nestled in his arms. Finally, she stopped moving around after she found a comfortable spot.
Naturally, she wasn’t aware of her actions at all because she desperately wanted to keep herself warm.
On the other hand, Shane’s body stiffened due to Natalie’s actions.
He lowered his gaze and looked at the woman who was hugging him with his abysmal pair of eyes.
Similarly, Silas, who was supposed to focus on driving, got anxious and couldn’t focus on the road anymore.
It was already baffling enough, to begin with, for Shane to carry Natalie into the car. Now that he witnessed the scene, Silas was shell-shocked when Shane didn’t push Natalie away.
