Chapter 239


    Shane removed his hands and Natalie also stopped covering her ears. Handing his coat back to him,


    she said, “Thank you, Mr. Shane.”


    Shane muttered an acknowledgement as he put on the coat.


    When Natalie saw that his seatbelt was unbuckled, her eyes widened. She quickly turned around and


    grabbed the seatbelt, nning to buckle it for him.


    However, as the ne kept shaking, she could not buckle the seatbelts despite a few attempts. Hence,


    she started to panic.


    Lowering his head and gazing at Natalie, who was leaning against his chest, a dangerous gleam


    entered his eyes. Then, he took the seat belt from her hands and said hoarsely, “I’ll do it myself. Just sit


    properly.”


    “Okay.” Natalie did not think too much about it and sat back in her seat.


    Shane sighed inconspicuously as he buckled his seat belt.


    Natalie nced at the dark clouds looming outside the window. “Mr. Shane, will something bad happen


    to the ne?”


    Various images of the ne crashing down, exploding and other scenarios instantly surfaced in her


    mind.


    She even thought that if the ne actually got into an ident, it was not too bad to die by his side.


    “Don’t spout nonsense. It’s just a turbulence. Everything will be fine afterwards.” Shane passed her a


    sleep mask.


    Confused, Natalie took it from his hands. “What...”


    “If you’re really afraid, just cover your eyes. You won’t feel scared if you can’t see anything.”


    His serious expression caused Natalie to burst outughing. Her fear also diminished greatly.


    She wanted to say that she was not afraid as long as he was there with her.


    However, she did not have the right to do so.


    Suddenly, Natalie spotted something amiss with Shane’s face. Squinting, she brought her face closer


    to his. “Mr. Shane, why is there a bruise here?”


    She pointed at his cheekbone.


    A cold gleam shed across his eyes as he rubbed the spot which she was pointing at. “It’s nothing. I


    might have bumped into something.”


    “Really?” A look of disbelief crossed Natalie’s face.


    It was impossible that he would injure his cheek by bumping into something. Furthermore, from the look


    of the bruise, it was obvious that he had been punched.


    Did he get into a fight with someone?


    As she thought about it, she looked at Shane in surprise.


    He frowned. “What’s wrong?”


    Natalie opened her mouth, wanting to ask him who he fought with. However, after thinking about it for a


    while, she changed her mind.


    “It’s nothing. I have a hard-boiled egg here. Let me ce it over the bruise so it won’t swell.” As she


    spoke, she took out an egg from her bag.


    Shane watched as she tapped the egg gently on the armrest. After cracking the shell, she started to


    peel it. Raising his eyebrow, he asked, “Why do you have an egg with you?”


    As she peeled the egg, sheughed. “It’s from Connor. After finding out that I’m leaving today, he


    asked my Mom to boil two eggs for me so I can eat them on the ne. He probably learned that from


    the television.”


    “That’s sweet of him.” Shane nodded.


    “Yeah, he’s really filial. I ate one, so there’s one left for your bruise.” With that, she ced the peeled


    hard-boiled egg on his bruise and rolled it gently.

    Her actions were very gentle. Furthermore, it was quitefortable to have a soft egg rolling on one’s


    cheek. Shane could not help but close his eyes.


    “Oh, right. Why are you on this ne too, Mr. Shane? Where are you going?” Gazing at him, Natalie


    suddenly asked.


    Shane replied indifferently, “I’m attending a wedding.”


    Natalie paused mid-action. “You’re attending a wedding too?”


    “Huh? You too?” Shane opened his eyes and nced at her, but there was no hint of surprise in his


    gaze.


    However, Natalie did not notice it. She nodded and replied, “Yeah, it’s the wedding of the heir of the Hill


    family. I’m apanying Stanley... Wait a moment, where is he?”


    She suddenly remembered that Stanley had not returned.


    When Shane saw that Natalie paused mid-action at the mention of Stanley, his face instantly clouded


    over. “He fainted in the first-ss cabin. Ss is taking care of him now.”


    “Why did he go to the first-ss cabin?” Natalie’s brows furrowed.


    Shane ignored her. Pushing her hand away from his face, he turned around to face the corridor and


    refused to look at her.
