Feel the Way You Feel, My Love Chapter 996
Shane was still waiting at the spot Natalie had left him.
“Wait, Natalie! Don’t go!” Susan bawled at her departing figure.
Despite that, Natalie ignored her and continued walking forward until Susan’s cries had faded into nothingness.
Soon after that, Susan was finally bundled into the police car.
“All done?” Shane asked when Natalie came near.
She nodded, “Yeah.”
“Let’s go home then.” He held her hand and refrained from asking her about her conversation with Susan.
If she doesn’t want to say anything about it, I won’t force her to tell me.
Later that night, Silas came by Shane’s villa with some news. “Mr. Shane, we’ve made the necessary arrangements
for Donald Litch.”
Natalie set down her glass of milk at the news. “Darling, you arranged something for Donald?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShane nodded. “Since Susan and the others are gone, no one’s going to look after that kid. He’s just an innocent
boy, and I felt like it was right to do something for him.”
Realization dawned on Natalie as she exclaimed, “You’re right. I’ve been so busy with Susan’s matters that I forgot
about the poor kid. What did you do?”
“I sent him to an orphanage. Warren can get him after serving his three-year sentence.”
Natalie nodded in agreement. “That works.”
Donald was not a member of the Smith family, and neither she nor Jared felt comfortable taking him in.
Sending Donald to an orphanage as he awaited Warren’s release from prison was perhaps the kindest thing they
could do for the boy.
Susan’s final trial hearing occurred a couple of days later.
Shane and Natalie attended the hearing while Jared accompanied Harrison in his ward.
Jared had an iPad in hand, allowing Harrison to watch the trial proceedings from his hospital bed.
A smug smile appeared on Harrison’s face as he watched a haggard Susan on the screen.
Natalie was surprised at Susan’s drastic transformation. She looks so disheveled after two days in jail.
Susan was still dressed to the nines when Natalie saw her last during her arrest. Gone was her impeccable get-up,
replaced by handcuffs, shackles, and prison scrubs. Susan’s locks had been snipped off as well, leaving behind
messy tufts of hair. She’s even got some white hair now. I guess people do age faster under tragic circumstances.
After a while, the judge began announcing Susan’s crime from his bench.
Susan took the stand, flanked by a female police officer on either side. She kept her head lowered as her body
trembled. Her demeanor spoke volumes about her fear of her impending verdict.
Natalie sighed. “Why do such things when you’re terrified of the outcome?”
At one side, Shane watched on in silence. She deserves it.
His thoughts drifted to Sam, who would have his final hearing just a few days later. He’ll probably be shivering in
fear like Susan now.
The seconds ticked by, and the judge eventually struck his gavel, marking the end of Susan’s trial.
Thanks to a wealth of evidence and the Garcia family’s intervention, Susan was sentenced to death.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe crumpled to the floor in shock when she heard the verdict.
Natalie shot her a cold glance before leaving the courtroom with Shane.
Once they were outside, she tilted her face up to the sky.
The sky that had been gray and cloudy when they arrived for the trial earlier was now exceptionally sunny. Was it
because Susan finally got what she deserved?
Natalie took a deep breath as a single tear of joy trickled down her cheek. “Mom, I did it. I finally brought Susan to
justice.”
Shane patted her back comfortingly. “Mom will be delighted to know this.”
“I want to visit her,” Natalie sniffed, choking on her tears.
Shane nodded and agreed immediately. “Of course.”
They got a bunch of flowers from a nearby florist before driving to the cemetery.
When they reached there, Natalie insisted on heading into the cemetery without Shane.
After all, there were some things she needed to say to her mom alone.
Shane respected her wishes and did not protest her decision. Thus, he waited in the car patiently for her.
About an hour later, Natalie returned to the car.
