Natalie lowered her eyes.
Does that mean that if anything goes wrong, the baby will die?
As if reading Natalie's mind, Sally placed her hand on her shoulder and said, “Don't worry. The baby's going to be
fine. Don't overthink it, okay? Trust the doctors; they're professionals.”
Natalie gave her a bitter smile.
After all, there was nothing else she could she do but trust them.
“The baby's a boy, right?” Natalie asked hoarsely.
Sally smiled and answered, “Yes, that's right. Why don't you pick a name for him?”
Natalie mulled over it. “Connor and Sharon had nicknames when they were younger, so I'll give him a nickname
too. His shall be... Anders. The name means strong, and I hope that he'll grow up strong.”
“Anders. It's a nice name with a nice meaning.” Sally nodded. “What about his official name?”
“His official name...” Natalie wrung her hands. “Once Shane is back, we'll have him name the boy. He has already

“But Mr. Shane...”
“He's fine!” Natalie insisted as she looked at her with determined eyes. “He's definitely fine.”
A faint smile appeared on Sally's lips. “You're right. Mr. Shane will definitely be fine.”
Natalie averted her eyes from Sally and cast another glance at her baby before closing them. “Let's go back to the
ward.”
“You don't want to see him for a little longer?” Sally asked.
Natalie shook her head. “No. The more I look at him, the more my heart ache. If I keep doing this, I'll have another
mental breakdown. It'll be impossible to rest well to recover then. I won't be able to stop myself from thinking about
how I'm the one who made Anders end up in there.”
“I understand. Let's go back then.” Sally sighed before walking behind her and pushing her back to her ward.
Right as they returned, Silas and the two children came back.
The moment the children saw Natalie awake, they froze. Then, they rushed forward, grabbed Natalie's hand, and
started sobbing. “Mommy, you're finally awake!”
“All right now, stop crying.” Natalie ruffled their hair. “I'm awake now, so you should be delighted instead. Why are
you crying? Be good, okay? Don't cry.”
The two kids sniffled and mumbled to her that they would stop.
Beside them, Silas took a step forward. “Madam.”
“Do you have news of Shane, Mr. Campbell?” Natalie asked, her eyes fixed on him, and her hands clenched.
Silas shook his head. “I'm sorry, madam. But I haven't heard anything.”
Natalie's eyes darkened. Although she was disappointed to hear that, it was nothing too surprising.
If they had found Shane, Sally would have told her right away.
“Okay. Still, we have to keep looking for him. I want to see him regardless of whether he's alive or...” Natalie's
throat clamped up, and her voice cracked. “Or dead.”
Silas straightened his back. “Don't worry, madam. We know. We've never stopped looking for Mr. Shane.”
Natalie nodded. “I'm glad to hear that. So, what's going on in the country? Has the rest of the people found out
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabout Shane's disappearance?”
“Don't worry, madam. The outsiders don't know about it yet,” Silas replied.
It would be shocking for the company and the corporate world to hear the news of Thompson Group's chairman's
disappearance.
Not only would the company's shares drop, but the other companies that despised Thompson Group would also
strike at a vulnerable time like this.
Therefore, the person in charge had been keeping things under wrap. Other than the few of them, no one else
knew that something had happened to Shane.
Natalie felt relieved. “Good. However, this isn't a long-term plan. We can hide it for now, but we can't hide it
forever.”
“I agree. I'm just worried that Sean and the others would take the chance to stir up trouble by telling the others
about Mr. Shane's disappearance,” Silas commented with a frown.
That was what they had to pay attention to the most at the moment.
Pursing her lips, Natalie said, “What about this? I'll send you a video in a bit.”
