“There’s no need for that,” said Shane curtly as he pursed his lips.
Silas did not persuade him either. Instead, he grabbed a glass of water on the table and passed it to him.
Lifting his head, Shane took a few sips of the water with the straw.
When he waved his hands to signal that he had enough, Silas moved the glass away and placed it down. At that moment, his phone rang.
“Mr. Shane, it’s a call from the Fashion Hall. They’re probably calling about the earthquake.” Silas glanced at his phone and made a guess.
Shane closed his eyes and pinched his nose bridge. “I’ll leave it to you.”
“Okay,” replied Silas as he walked toward the door. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
When he opened the door, he saw Natalie coming over with the doctor.
She stopped in her tracks and asked, “Are you leaving, Mr. Campbell?”
He adjusted his glasses and replied, “Yes. I have something to attend to, so please take care of Mr. Shane for me.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of him well.” Natalie nodded.
Silas thanked her and strode away.
Gazing at his back, she tilted her head in confusion.
That’s weird... Didn’t he see me as an eyesore lately?
Why is he acting so courteously now like before?
Although she could not figure it out, she stopped thinking about it and led the doctor into the hospital ward.
The doctor gave Shane a check-up, changed his dressing and left soon, leaving only Natalie and him behind in the ward.
She stood beside his bed and shot him a grateful look. “Thanks for saving me, Mr. Shane.”
If he had not pushed her away, she would definitely have been hit by the chandelier.
“You don’t have to thank me. Didn’t you save me previously too? We can call it even, then,” replied Shane nonchalantly.
Then, as if he suddenly recalled something, he started sizing Natalie up. “Oh, right. I pushed you away quite forcefully. Did you get hurt?”
“No, I didn’t.” Natalie waved her hands quickly in denial. However, she could not help but feel touched.
Although he was severely injured, he was still concerned about her.
She did not even know what to say to him.
Shane felt relieved upon hearing that Natalie was fine. Yet, when he noticed her bandaged hands, he frowned again. “What happened to your hands?”
“Are you referring to this?” Natalie spread her hands and glanced at them. Smiling, she assured, “I just scraped my hands when I tried to lift the chandelier. It’s nothing.”
Shane immediately felt relieved. “That’s good, then.”
As Natalie placed her hands down, she suddenly heard a loud grumble.
Shane’s face clouded over instantly.
Noticing his expression, Natalie suddenly realized something and chuckled. “Stay here, Mr. Shane. I’ll buy some food for you.”
As she spoke, she grabbed her wallet and left the hospital ward.
She returned with some food half an hour later.
Even though it was just plain oatmeal, Shane did not mind at all. He ate while Natalie fed him.
After he finished the bowl of oatmeal, Natalie gave him a few painkillers.
Drowsy from the side effects of the painkillers, he fell asleep soon.
Natalie tucked him in, sat down on a chair beside the bed and stared at him. Her gaze became unfocused as an indecipherable emotion crept into her eyes.
She still could not forget the scene of him coughing up blood and fainting after saving her from the chandelier.
At that moment, not only did she feel like her heart had stopped beating, but she also realized another terrifying fact—she had fallen in love with him. That was the reason why she was so delighted when he praised him, and why she felt disappointed when he moved away.
“Ugh...” Natalie sighed and covered her face, feeling agonized.
She felt extremely pathetic. Not only had she fallen in love with a man who had a fiancée, but she also went against her words. Despite having sworn to Sean that she did not like Shane, she was now doing the exact opposite.
However, she had already decided that she would never reveal her true feelings to anyone. After Project Rebirth’s success, she would leave Thompson Group and Shane. Perhaps, her feelings for him would fade a
