Chapter 1783 The Family Of Five
Shane knew what Natalie was afraid of. The scene of Sean getting killed must've freaked
her out badly.
That was why she had been falling into deep slumber intermittently for the past two days.
But every time she was asleep, she would be plagued by nightmares that left her
muttering incessantly. That made Shane extremely worried.
Perhaps because Shane's hug was warm and comforting, it did not take long to calm
Natalie's trembling body and voice. It was just that she sounded a little hoarse after not
talking for two days.
“Is Sean dead?” she asked while leaning against Shane's chest, her eyes closed.
The man grunted in acknowledgment. His expression, however, revealed that he was
somewhat in hesitation.
Sensing it, Natalie lifted her head to look at him. “What's wrong?”
“The gun Sean threw to me, as well as the one pointed at your head, aren't loaded.”
“What?” Natalie was taken aback.
Shane nodded. “You heard it right. While my men were cleaning up the place after Sean
got killed, they found other military equipment inside the tent where you two exited.

mean to kill you, neither did he want me to kill myself.”
“Then, why did he—”
“He doesn't want to live anymore,” Shane interrupted. “He deliberately arranged
everything that night just to make us kill him.”
Natalie fell silent. It was beyond her imagination that things would turn out this way.
After a while, she finally parted her pale lips and muttered, “He doesn't want to live
anymore... No wonder.”
“Do you know something?” Shane lowered his head to look at her.
Natalie bit her lips. “After he kidnapped me, he kept saying things along the lines of
meeting me for the last time, and he also kept staring at me intently, almost as if he was
trying to etch my image in his mind. He even gave me a necklace. It turns out that he
already has plans in mind at that time. Oh yes, where's the necklace?”
She reached out and touched her neck, but found nothing.
Shane pursed his lips slightly and uttered, “I threw it away. I know it was a gift from Sean.
There's his name on it. That's why I threw it.”
Natalie nodded, “That's good. Even though he didn't mean to kill us, that doesn't mean we
should forgive him. What he did in the past can never be undone. Of course, I wouldn't
want to keep his things too. Let it be. He's already dead, and it's all in the past. Let's not
mention him again, shall we?”
“All right.” Shane nodded. Well, that was what he thought too.
“From now on, no one can threaten us anymore. And no one will ever dare hurt you,” said
Shane in a low voice while hugging Natalie.
“Yeah. We don't have to be on our guards all the time again. We can finally live our lives
freely. By the way, where's Stanley?” she asked.
It was the least of her to show her concern over Stanley since he had also helped save her.
“He's gone back to the Rivers residence. He said he still has to earn their forgiveness and
win over Joyce's heart, so he can't stay here longer. He wants us not to worry about him,”
answered Shane.
Natalie smiled. “I see. But it probably won't be easy for him to earn their forgiveness.”
“That's his problem and nothing to do with us. He has to make the decisions for what he
has done.”
“You're right.” Natalie nodded. “What about Lina?”
“She's fine. She called yesterday and said she's gone to visit Bryan. She wants you not to

“I see.” Comprehension dawned upon Natalie. “Then what about the children?”
Just as Shane was about to reply, the door suddenly opened.
At the ward door stood Connor, Sharon, and Zaylee, who was carrying Anders.
A dazzling smile instantly crept up on Natalie's face when she saw the three kids.
“Mommy.” The moment Connor and Sharon saw Natalie awake, their eyes lit up in unison
as they ran toward the bed.
Anders was awake at that point. Even though he was too young to run over like how
Connor and Sharon did, he still spread his arms wide and reached them toward Natalie's
direction. It was clear he wanted to hug Natalie too.
Seeing this, Shane walked over to carry Anders from Zaylee's arms and carefully placed
the boy in Natalie's arms.
Sitting on the bed, Natalie snuggled in Shane's embrace. She had Anders in her arms
while the twins stood by the bed. It was a very heartwarming scene to watch.
Zaylee pulled out her phone and snapped a photo of the family of five.
Following a click, that comforting image was captured on the phone screen.
It was a moment full of bliss that would last an eternity.
