Chapter 1137
Connor quickly passed Natalie a pen which she used to scribble down an address on the paper Silas gave her.
She then thanked the police profusely with tears in her eyes before hanging up the phone.
“I shall head over and bring Mr. Thompson back tomorrow morning, madam,” Silas said as he took the phone and paper back from her.
“No, I’ll go with you!” Natalie said while wiping her tears.
Connor wanted to tag along as well, but Natalie didn’t allow him to as it was dangerous for a kid this young to be in the countryside.
“But your wound has yet to heal completely, madam.” Silas was actually reluctant to bring her along, but Natalie was adamant about it.
“I want to go! As his wife, I have to go pick him up. Besides, I gave up on the competition and came all the way back here to find him, so I must go pick him up now that I’ve found him!”
Silas had nothing else to say in response to that.
She’s right. All of our searches have been futile throughout the past few days, but we miraculously managed to find Mr. Thompson the day she returns to the country. It’s obvious that she’s the reason behind this miracle, so who am I to stop her from going with us?
“In that case, I’ll go make the arrangements to bring some more men with us and pick you up tomorrow morning,” Silas said while adjusting his glasses.
“Make sure to bring doctors too!” Natalie reminded him.
Silas chuckled. “Of course, madam. I shall excuse myself, now.” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Natalie nodded and had a housekeeper walk him to the door.
She then had the housekeeper give Connor a shower while she stared at the number for a whole minute before dialing it.
Silas said no one answered the phone when he tried calling it earlier. I wonder if someone will answer my call…
Fortunately for Natalie, the woman answered the phone this time. “Hello, who is this?” said a gentle voice.
“Hello, miss. My name is Natalie Smith,” Natalie replied in an equally gentle and polite manner.
“Natalie Smith?” Lucy paused for a moment before continuing, “I’m sorry, Ms. Smith, but I don’t think we know each other. Could you have gotten the wrong number, perhaps?”
Natalie shook her head. “No, you are the person I am trying to contact.”
Lucy felt an increasing sense of danger and confusion which made her incredibly uneasy.
Tightening her grip on the phone, she asked, “How may I help you, Ms. Smith?”
“You’ve rescued a man recently, right?” Natalie asked.
Lucy felt her heart skip a beat upon hearing that and turned to look at Shane who was lying on the bed behind her.
That was when she realized she was feeling uneasy because someone had found out about her rescuing Shane.
“I-I’m sorry, b-but I h-haven’t rescued anyone! M-Maybe you’ve gotten the wrong information or something! A-Anyway, it’s getting late, so I’ll be hanging up now!” Lucy replied nervously before hanging up the phone and switching it off immediately.
She breathed a sigh of relief as the screen went black, but she couldn’t seem to calm herself down in the slightest.
Not only did they find out about me rescuing someone, but they even managed to track my phone number down… Does that mean they’ll be coming over to my house next?
Lucy bit down on her lip as she stared at Shane and thought about moving.
Meanwhile, Natalie frowned deeply as she stared at the home screen on her phone.
I can’t believe she just hung up on me! Most importantly, she actually denied having rescued Shane! Judging by the way she was stammering nervously, it’s obvious that she’s lying! But, why? Why would she lie about rescuing Shane? Is she being threatened by someone else? Or is there some other reason for it? Regardless, I’m glad I’ve finally confirmed that Shane is at Lucy’s place right now! I’ve finally found him!
