Even though that was what she thought, she didn’t show it on her face. “It’s fine. I won’t disturb her,” she told the kids.
“That won’t do. Hurry up and leave now!” Sharon stepped forward to chase her out.
Connor tugged on his sister’s hand. “Don’t touch her. She’s weak. We wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility if something serious were to happen to her.”
“Oh, you’re right.” Sharon nodded obediently.
Jacqueline almost lost her cool.
Clearly, Connor was warning her not to pretend to get hurt.
When Jacqueline was about to lose control, Shane stepped out of the bedroom.
“Why are you all standing here?” He glanced at the kids before turning to Jacqueline.
Before the kids could speak, Jacqueline interjected, “Shane, I’m here to visit Ms. Smith. Is she alright?”
“She’s fine,” Shane replied calmly.
Jacqueline heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m glad she’s fine. By the way, what happened to her?”
Previously, she had hired someone to investigate the matter but to no avail.
Shane ruffled the kids’ hair before answering. “It’s nothing serious. I’ve dealt with the matter.”
“Oh, I see.” Jacqueline lifted the corners of her lips in a smile. Deep down, she was fuming.
It’s obvious that he didn’t want to tell me about it!
Right then, Silas and Mrs. Wilson arrived with a bunch of people in white coats led by Jackson.
Jackson asked, “Mrs. Wilson told me Natalie’s injured. Is it true?”
Shane nodded. “Come in and see for yourself.”
“Okay,” replied Jackson as he flashed Jacqueline a smile before entering the bedroom with his entourage.
Jacqueline wanted to follow them in, but Mrs. Wilson stood in her way. “Ms. Graham, you shouldn’t head in and disturb the doctors’ checkup.”
“Alright,” Jacqueline answered with a smile. Inwardly, she was cursing Mrs. Wilson.
She only wanted to know what happened to Natalie, but everyone kept standing in her way.
Ugh, this is so annoying!
Meanwhile, Shane stood aside in the bedroom as the doctors and nurses conducted a checkup for Natalie.
When they were done, he asked, “How is she?”
Jackson was writing in his report as he answered, “She’s fine. There’re some bruises from the fall, but she’ll recover in no time.”
Shane nodded in relief.
Back then, the woman had told him Natalie was fine when they found her, but he was still worried.
After all, there was only not much a countryside doctor could do. He would only stop worrying after the doctors in the city ran a thorough checkup for Natalie using the latest equipment and confirmed that she was alright.
“By the way, what happened?” Jackson closed his file and asked.
Shane explained the entire incident.
Jackson inhaled sharply at the bizarre story. “You mean they fell off a cliff which was thousands of meters high?”
“Mm.” Shane nodded.
Jackson couldn’t believe it. “Shane, you must be joking, right? Anyone who jumped off a cliff that high would be dead. Natalie wasn’t even injured. That’s impossible!”
Shane could totally understand why Jackson was shocked.
He himself was stunned to realize Natalie had escaped unscathed.
The impossible had happened, so it was indeed shocking.
“It didn’t matter how she escaped miraculously as long as she’s alive.” Shane gazed at a sleeping Natalie affectionately.
Thankfully, she has returned to me.
Jackson couldn’t stop himself from shuddering in disgust after seeing how mushy his friend was.
As the nurses were done applying the medicine on Natalie’s wounds, he announced, “Alright. We shall leave now.”
