Murmuring in acquiescence, Natalie closed her eyes while clutching his hand tightly.
Due to the residual anesthesia, she fell into slumber in no time.
Only then did Shane withdraw his hand and send a message to Silas back in the country, ordering him to
bring a few trustworthy doctors in the obstetrics and gynecology field over.
He didn’t believe the doctors here anymore, so he wouldn’t allow them to treat Natalie, at least not before
all who were bribed had been tracked down.
After receiving the order, Silas swiftly made all the arrangements and used Shane’s private plane to fly
over with the medical team.
About nine o’clock at night, he arrived with the others.
As soon as they landed, the few obstetrics and gynecology doctors got to work and performed a detailed
examination on Natalie.
An hour later, the results of the examination came out.
The senior doctor handed Shane a prenatal test report. “Mr. Shane, rest assured that the baby is very
healthy without any abnormalities or deformities.”
As Shane clutched the report in his hand, murder raged within him.
At the side, Silas exclaimed thankfully, “Fortunately, madam discovered the truth before the operation!
Otherwise, the baby would’ve truly been gone.”
When he arrived, he had immediately inquired about everything that had happened here.
While shocked, he was also horrified that Sean was so despicable as to make a move against an unborn
baby.
“Increase manpower to track Sean’s whereabouts. If necessary, use Sam and his wife as bait to lure him
out,” Shane instructed in a somber voice as he loosened his hold on the report in his hand.
Silas nodded at once in acknowledgment.
Shane then ordered him to arrange a place for the doctors to stay since he was going to entrust Natalie
to their care in the following months until the child was born.
Silas left to execute his orders.
Meanwhile, Shane left the hospital with Natalie in his arms and returned to the villa.
The two children and Sally were waiting in the villa, so they immediately rushed over when they came
back.
“You’re back, Mr. Shane, Nat…” Before Sally had even finished her utterance, she glimpsed Natalie in
Shane’s arms and hastily asked, “What’s wrong with Nat?”
The children were likewise worried.
“Is Mommy okay, Daddy?” Connor queried as well.
Not wanting to worry them, Shane tried his best to gentle his voice as he replied, “She’s fine, and merely
asleep.”
“Oh, I see.” Sharon bobbed her petite head, falling for it right away.
Connor, however, didn’t buy it. His gaze flickered, but he said nothing.
Shane then carried Natalie back to her room upstairs with Sally and Connor trailing behind him.
Sharon had wanted to follow, but Connor coaxed her into staying downstairs.
Only after Shane had placed Natalie onto the bed did Connor remark, “Daddy, Mommy had an abortion,
yes?”
Hearing that, Shane was startled.
Even Sally was stunned, questioning, “How did you know that, Connor?”
After all, Nat never told the children about the baby being deformed out of fear that they would be
disconsolate since they were looking forward to their brother or sister’s arrival.
“I saw it.” With his gaze fixated on Shane, Connor admitted, “I went into Mommy’s room this afternoon
and saw her prenatal test report. It said that the baby is deformed, so I wondered whether she had an
operation when I saw you carrying her home, Daddy.”
“Gosh, you’re just too smart that you can even understand a prenatal test report, Connor! That’s even
beyond me,” Sally exclaimed in wonder as she patted him on the shoulder.
Unexpectedly, Connor rolled his eyes at her. “You’d better not compare your intelligence with mine, Ms.
Sally. Otherwise, you’ll cry.”
“How dare you?” Sally pouted in vexation.
Ugh! His words truly rankle!
“No, she didn’t have an abortion,” Shane suddenly replied right that moment.
Blinking his eyes, Connor enunciated, “Really?”
Sally was similarly perplexed. “Why not, Mr. Shane? Didn’t you and Nat go out today for that express
purpose?”
