Jackson then put on his surgical mask and entered the operating theater while Natalie, Silas, and Mrs. Wilson waited outside.
As if she had suddenly remembered something, Natalie turned toward Silas and said, “Mr. Campbell, could you please bring Sharon back from overseas? I promised her I’d bring her home as soon as I find Shane!”
She couldn’t leave as she needed to keep Shane company, and she didn’t trust anyone else to do it either.
As such, Silas was the only person she could count on.
“Sure thing, madam. I’ll get to it right away,” Silas replied with a nod before leaving in a hurry.
Natalie then turned toward Mrs. Wilson who was sitting in her wheelchair and said, “You can stop blaming yourself now, Mrs. Wilson. We’ve found Shane, and he’ll regain consciousness once the blood clot in his head is removed. Besides, I’m sure Shane wouldn’t blame you either.”
In fact, Mrs. Wilson was never to blame for what happened to Shane.
Even if Mrs. Wilson was fine and Shane didn’t return to the country, Sean would still have gone after them with a different method.
“Dear God, please protect this family from harm… My old heart can’t handle any more of this…” Mrs. Wilson mumbled while looking at the door of the operating theater.
Natalie flashed her a smile and gave her a comforting pat on the shoulder. “We’ll all be fine.”
“Yes, madam…” Mrs. Wilson said with tears in her eyes.
The two of them then said nothing further and carried on waiting for Shane in silence.
As it was a minor surgery, Jackson and his team were able to complete it in just two hours.
“Shane!” Natalie leaped to her feet when she saw Shane being wheeled out of the operating theater.
Mrs. Wilson too made her way toward him in her wheelchair.
Standing next to the hospital bed, Natalie gently caressed Shane’s pale face as she asked, “Dr. Baker, is Shane all right?”
“The blood clot has been removed, so he should be waking up in two days,” Jackson replied.
“Oh, thank goodness!” Mrs. Wilson exclaimed.
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief and flashed him a smile in response.
“All right, we’ll be transferring him to the ward now. You can all go visit him there,” Jackson said.
Natalie nodded and stepped aside to not get in the way of the medical staff.
She then helped to push Mrs. Wilson’s wheelchair as they all made their way to the ward.
Joyce came over to the hospital in the afternoon, and she even brought Connor with her.
Afraid that Connor would get bored being home alone, Natalie gave Joyce a call when she was on the way to pick Shane up and had her keep Connor company at the Thompson villa.
As such, Joyce was also one of the first few to know that Shane had been found.
Connor leaned against the side of the hospital bed and kept his gaze fixated on Shane while Natalie and Joyce stood in a corner.
Joyce asked about what happened during her search for Shane, and Natalie told her everything that happened at Lucy’s house.
“What? Does that woman’s shamelessness know no bounds? I can’t believe she’d hide Mr. Thompson like that! Honestly, the fact that we have the same last name disgusts me!” Joyce yelled furiously after hearing about Lucy.
Natalie took a sip of water. “There, there… Even I’m not that mad now that Shane is back.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Joyce pursed her lips. “Believe it or not, this woman isn’t going to give up just yet!”
“How do you know that?” Natalie asked.
“Based on what you’ve told me about her, I can tell she’s the type who acts all righteous but is actually a shameless gold digger! They won’t admit to it, but they really love being around rich people. Trust me, she’ll definitely be back!” Joyce said confidently.
Natalie frowned for a bit but broke into a smile moments later. “Although I don’t like her, we do owe her big time for saving Shane. She can come to us if she wants. It’ll be easier for us to repay the favor that way.”
“Honestly, I think Mr. Shane would’ve survived even if she didn’t save him. In fact, the manager and his men might’ve found him and sent him to the hospital sooner! Huh… This is all Lucy’s fault!” Joyce exclaimed angrily.
