Chapter 300


    She was spot on regarding Natalie’s concern, leaving thetter’s mouth agape without saying another


    word.


    It was true that she felt insecure with the little ones staying at home by themselves.


    “Okay. I wille overter.” Natalie’s lips twitched.


    Joyce mumbled a response and turned back to Stanley.


    Natalie pulled the sling of her handbag up onto her shoulder, then lifted her head to look at Shane. “Mr.


    Shane, shall we leave together?”


    Shane gave a nod. “Sure.”


    He did not want to see Stanley, nor was he close with Joyce, so there was no point for him to stay.


    The only reason he was there for so long was because of Natalie.


    After exiting the ward, they closed the doors gently.


    In the elevator, Shane offered to send her home, but she rejected his offer determinedly.


    She was still traumatized by Stanley’s ident which happened after he sent her home. Because of


    that, she did not dare to let Shane do the same.


    What if something befalls him after he sends me back?


    Shane was left with no option as she would not relent. Eventually, he watched solemnly as she took a


    taxi and left.


    A whileter, Ss came back after he finished the task he was given.


    “How did it go? Did you find anything?” Shane queried while walking toward Jacqueline’s ward.


    Ss followed behind him and furrowed his brows. “Yes. I’ve looked into this matter. This ident is


    factitious.”


    At his words, Shane came to a halt and turned around. “Factitious?”


    “That’s right.” Ss nodded.


    A dark shadow shed across Shane’s eyes as his expression turned gloomy. “Natalie was there when


    Stanley met with the ident. Could it be the same culprit who tried to harm her the previous two


    times?”


    “Mr. Shane, I’m afraid your prediction is wrong this time. It’s not.” Ss pushed his sses up with a


    grin.


    Shane instantly shot a re at him. “Talk!”


    Ss rubbed his nose. Initially, he thought that he could keep his boss in suspense. But after seeing


    Shane’s expression, he yielded instantaneously. After clearing his throat, he replied in a serious tone,


    “This ident was set up by Dr. Quinn himself.”


    “What did you say?” Shane was dumbfounded with his brows knitted together. “He set himself up?”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    “That’s right. I found out the identity of the hit-and-run driver through the security footage. ording to


    the driver, he was paid by Dr. Quinn to do so,” Ss answered.


    Shane narrowed his eyes. “What’s the reason behind this?”


    “To woo Ms. Smith.” Ss lowered his voice. “As you know, Dr. Quinn harbors special feelings toward


    her. But they were not reciprocated because she loves you. Therefore, he began to panic. To make her


    feel guilty, he nned this ident just to let something terrible befall him in front of her very eyes. So


    that he could—”


    “I got it.” Shane lifted his hand to interrupt.


    Stanley deliberately got himself involved in the ident, leading Natalie to think that she was the cause


    of it.


    With that, she would be guilt-stricken. Stanley could thenpel her to get into a rtionship with him.


    It is a good move indeed.


    “Was he not afraid of losing control and ending up dead on the spot?” Shane narrowed his eyes and


    mocked.


    Ss’s expression turned serious. “Speaking of which, Dr. Quinn’s injury was pretty fatal. I think things


    spiraled out of control.”


    “Hmm?” Shane turned to stare at him.


    Ss frowned. “That driver said that Dr. Quinn only asked him to bang into the car lightly so that the


    latter would have a minor injury. However, when it actually happened, the brakes went out on him


    suddenly, resulting in the fatal injury.”


    “His brakes failed?” Shane looked a little perplexed. “Was that an ident?”


    After pondering for a while, Ss responded, “Probably. I asked someone to check the braking system.


    It didn’t seem like it was tampered with. I guess it was Dr. Quinn’s misfortune that the ident turned


    out this serious.”


    A subtle smile yed on Shane’s lips. “He should count himself lucky to have escaped death by a


    whisker.”


    “Indeed.” Ss nodded and followed with a question, “Should I tell Ms. Smith and Ms. Rivers about


    this?”


    A glint shed across Shane’s eyes. “No. Natalie would not buy into it anyway. To her, Stanley is a


    gentle and respectable doctor, someone who would never do something despicable like this. Even the


    confession of the driver in question would be pointless. She would most likely think that we coerced


    him into doing it, let alone Joyce.”
