Chapter 65
“It was me. I treated them with seafood. I’m sorry. I didn’t know this would make Connor sick.” Shane
lowered his gaze.
So this is the reason!
Natalie smiled bitterly. “It’s not your fault, Mr. Shane.”
Knowing my kids, Connor must be the one who requested for seafood.
Besides, Shane helped me a lot tonight, so I can’t push all the fault onto him.
“I’ll take the responsibility no matter what, as Connor is sick because of me.” Shane took off his coat,
which was stained with Connor’s vomit, and sat beside Natalie.
Natalie rubbed her face. “Mr. Shane, it’s late, so you should go back home now. Sorry for wasting your
time. When Connor recovers, I’ll thank you properly.”
“It’s alright. I’ll stay here and help you look after Sharon in case Connor has to do a medical checkup
later. It’s better than leaving her alone in the ward, isn’t it?” Shane turned to look at her.

Yeah. We are in the hospital, after all. There is a lot of people moving around freely here. What if
Sharon got kidnapped by somebody?
Upon thinking of that, Natalie accepted Shane’s suggestion to stay. The both of them sat on the sofa
quietly and looked after the kids.
Time flew by, and it was already past midnight.
Natalie started yawning, as she was getting quite tired.
Shane put down his cell phone and swept a glance at her. “Go request for a bed at the counter. I’ll look
after them.”
“No. Connor’s not awake yet, so I mustn’t sleep.” Natalie took a deep breath and replied listlessly.
“It’s up to you.” Shane turned his gaze to his cell phone again and read through the reports.
But before he could finish reading the report, his shoulders felt heavy suddenly.
His hand froze as he turned to look at Natalie. She was sleeping soundly with her head leaning on his
shoulder.
Shane’s gaze wavered for a bit, and his back stiffened. It was obvious he wasn’t used to having close
contact with other people.
“Wake up.” He lifted his hand and nudged Natalie slightly to wake her up.
However, Natalie only hummed in reply and continued to sleep.
Shane pursed his lips.
Hmmph! She said she won’t sleep, but look at this!
Forget it. Her son got sick because of me, so I’ll let it go.
Bearing the thought in his mind, he placed his hand back on his cell phone.
The screen of the cell phone was still on, displaying the reports, but he couldn’t focus. The scent of a
woman’s body invaded his nose and messed up his mind.
He pinched his nose bridge as he tried to clear his mind to ignore the odd feeling in his heart before
turning off his cell phone.

He opened his eyes and answered the call after taking a glance at the phone screen. “Wait for me at
the entrance. I’ll go see you.”
With that, he hung up and lifted Natalie’s head from his shoulder. Then he placed her head gently on
the armrest of the sofa and walked away despite feeling stiff in one side of his body.
Immediately after he left, Natalie woke up.
She scanned her surroundings, and her eyes were wide opened after she came to her senses.
“Connor!” Natalie couldn’t care less about her sore neck as she stood up hurriedly and rushed to her
son’s side. Touching his forehead, she was relieved when Connor’s body temperature had returned to
normal.
“Mommy...” At that moment, Sharon rubbed her eyes and sat up on the hospital bed.
Natalie turned to look at her daughter. “You’re awake?”
“Yes, Mommy. Why isn’t Connor waking up?” Sharon nodded before looking at her brother with a
worried look.
“Maybe it’s because of the medicine. He’ll wake up soon.” Natalie sorted her stuffs a
