Chapter 188


    “Just a while ago,” Natalie answered with a smile.


    Suddenly, a hand came out of nowhere and snatched the phone away.


    She stared at her son in surprise. “What are you doing, Connor?”


    “I want to have a word with Mr. Shane, Mommy.” With that said, Connor held the phone to his ear and


    said coldly, “Mr. Shane, stay away from my Mommy from now on. She almost got in trouble again today


    and it’s all because of you.”


    “What?” Shane eximed as he got up from his chair.


    He couldn’t even be bothered to care that Connor had told him to stay away from Natalie. All he could


    think about at that moment was how she had almost gotten into trouble again.


    Did Natalie go through something like what happenedst night again?


    “Mommy was almost crushed to death by an elevator today, Mr. Shane. It happened because of you.


    Even though the culprit isn’t Jasmine, it’s still some other woman who likes you. She was jealous that


    Mommy was being too close to you, so she tried to get Mommy killed.” The boy had a dark expression


    on his face as he spoke.


    I do like Mr. Shane, but he can never bepared to my Mommy.


    For her safety, I must never let him get near Mommy again.


    “Connor...” Natalie was moved to see her son protect her like this.


    It took a moment before Shane snapped back to his senses after hearing the news. His lips twitched


    and he felt a lump in his throat as he said, “I didn’t know what had happened in the morning. I’ll be


    there right away.”


    “No, don’te. We don’t want to see you,” Connor immediately stopped him. “If youe, the person


    who’s secretly watching Mommy might see you. Then when that happens, she’s going suffer again.”


    Upon hearing that, Shane’s hand tightened around the car keys he was holding but he loosened his


    grip forlornly eventually. “Alright, I won’t. But you have to tell me if your Mommy is really okay.”


    The boy nced at his mother and she gave him an encouraging nod.


    Then, he pursed his lips before answering, “Mommy’s fine. Grandma saved her just in time.”

    “That’s great.” Shane finally rxed but a dangerous glint shed across his eyes the next second. “I’ll


    take responsibility for these two incidents, Connor,” he said icily.


    “I hope so,” Connor snorted. He then ended the call and passed the phone to Natalie.


    She patted his head while saying, “Why are you suddenly so cold to Mr. Shane?”


    He hung his head. “Those rotten admirers of his almost caused you to lose your life. I’m not going to


    like him anymore.”


    Natalie’s eyes dimmed at that.


    That’s right. Although these aren’t Jasmine’s doings, it was still done by someone who admires Shane.


    There are so many possibilities as to who had actually done it though. But there’s only one other


    person besides Jasmine who would treat Shane as if he’s her man.


    Jacqueline Graham!


    Natalie couldn’t help but think of the incident in the hospital yesterday upon thinking about her.


    Was it really an ident?


    “What are you thinking about, Mommy?” Connor couldn’t stop himself from asking when he saw the


    look on his mother’s face.


    She snapped back to reality and replied with a smile, “It’s nothing. Go tell Grandma that I’m going out.”


    She was going to the hospital and try to sound Jacqueline out.


    As of now, Jacqueline held thergest possibility of being the culprit. She had already used Natalie


    of stealing her man because thetter was being too close to Shane, so it wasn’t impossible that she


    wanted to frame Jasmine who was engaged to Shane.


    Besides, she’d be killing two birds with one stone if she could kill Natalie and frame Jasmine at the


    same time. Then, Shane would definitely belong to Jacqueline.


    Upon thinking about that, Natalie patted lightly on Connor’s tiny butt and said, “Go on. Mommy’s going


    to get changed now.”


    “Okay. I’ll let Grandma know.” Connor got down from the sofa and quickly ran out to look for his


    grandmother.


    After half an hour, Natalie finally arrived at the hospital.


    She thought that something would happen on the way here, so she felt on edge throughout the journey.


    But luckily, nothing had happened. It seemed like the culprit didn’t dare to do anything in public, and it


    eased her heart a little.
