Chapter 1280


    “If Stanley hadn''t saved you and your children, I wouldn''t have allowed you to show him so much


    concern.” Shane took a seat beside her.


    Natalie smiled. “I knew you would remember this debt of gratitude. That''s the reason why I dared to


    speak to him in front of you. Nevertheless, I''m not sure if he is willing to ept what I have said.”


    If he epts the truth, he would quickly see the light and set aside the hatred he holds for the Rivers


    family. Following that, there might still be a chance for him and Joyce to be together. Otherwise, I''m


    afraid both of them will never get the opportunity for the rest of their lives.


    “It will be difficult!” Shane asserted. “If Stanley was someone who would listen, he wouldn''t have


    loathed the Rivers family for more than a decade.”


    “That''s why I''m worried. “Natalie sighed.


    Shane looked at her. “All right now. Instead of worrying about other men, you should worry about your


    husband instead. My hair is still wet, so please dry it for me before I catch a cold.”


    Worried that she would refuse, he stuffed the towel into her hands.


    Natalie was nonplussed. “Given the warm air from the heater, there''s no need to dry your hair nor will


    you catch a cold. It seems to me that you''re just jealous.”


    Shane reacted by closing his eyes as if he didn''t hear a word she said.


    After rolling her eyes at him, Natalie got behind him to dry his hair.


    As for Shane, he just sat there and enjoyed the feeling.


    The next day, the family of four sat together for breakfast.


    Since almost ten days had passed since thest time they did so, the two children were utterly


    delighted.


    When Shane and Natalie went on their honeymoon, they didn''t take the children along with them. If it


    wasn''t for Natalie''s ident, both of them would still be on their honeymoon.


    The two children would have to wait for twenty days more before they could have breakfast together.


    Consequently, they were ted over the fact that they didn''t need to wait that long to have breakfast as


    a family.


    Amidst the jovial atmosphere and the family''sughter, Shane''s phone suddenly rang.


    Furrowing his brows slightly, he took his phone out to check. The moment he saw that it was Ss, he


    put down his coffee and answered, “Hello?”


    “Mr. Thompson, it''s me. I''m back in J City,” Ss replied over the line.


    When Shane heard the sound of cars in the background, he figured that Ss was still on the road.


    “Very good, what about Jacqueline?” Shane asked with a narrowed gaze.


    The moment she heard the name, Natalie quietly put down her cutlery and looked in his direction.


    Even though Connor didn''t stop eating, his little ears were already pricked.


    “Jacqueline is here with me. I''m sending her to the Graham residence right now,” Ss replied.


    Shane lifted his chin. “Very good. Did she wake up this whole time?”


    Ss nodded. “She did manage it once after her high fever subsided. Nevertheless, she lost


    consciousness very quickly. The doctor said that it was hard for her to stay awake due to the


    excruciating pain in her legs.”


    Shane unwittingly cracked a smile. “I understand. Keep an eye on her and just make sure she doesn''t


    die on you. As for the pain, just leave it be, and don''t give her any painkillers.”

    He intended for Jacqueline to suffer, let alone the pain she was currently in wasn''t a big deal anyway.


    Is it more painful than what my parents felt when they were run over by a vehicle that weighed a couple


    of tons?


    “Don''t worry Mr. Thompson. I know what to do. I definitely won''t give one to her,” Ss chuckled.


    Shane grunted in acknowledgment. “Let me know once you arrive at the Graham residence, and I''ll


    head over.”


    “Sure,” Ss acknowledged.


    After ending the call, Natalie looked at him. “Has Jacqueline arrived?”


    Shane nodded. “She''s in J City and is currently on her way to the Graham residence.”


    Natalie picked up her fork to take some food before adding, “In that case, do we need to go over in a


    while?”


    “Of course. There are certain matters that need to be cleared up.” Shane nodded.


    Natalie took a sip of milk. “That''s true. However, Dr. Baker wants to see Jacqueline too.”
