Chapter 1579


    She nced out the window, where the vi was in in sight.


    After arriving at the vi, they both had lunch and returned to their rooms to rest. They wanted to be


    mentally and physically prepared for thepetition tomorrow.


    In the evening, Natalie woke up after a two-hour nap to receive Shane''s call.


    Surprised, she quickly answered his call. “Darling, why are you calling me at this hour?”

    Usually, he would have called at night, as she would be unupied during that time.


    He rarely called her in the day, so she couldn''t help but wonder if something had happened.


    Shane chuckled and asked, “I heard the organizer say that yourpetition is going to end ahead of


    time. Is that so?”


    Comprehension dawned on Natalie. “Oh, so that''s why you called. I thought something bad happened.”


    Shane was one of the investors in thepetition, so it was natural for the organizer to inform him of


    any changes.


    It was not surprising for Shane to find out that thepetition would end ahead of time.


    Natalie exined, “Tomorrow marks the end of our tenure as judges, and we will join the other judges


    inpeting to decide who will design the costumes for the opening ceremony of the World Games.”


    “Got it. I''ll attend thepetition with the kids tomorrow so we can cheer you on,” Shane said.


    Natalie''s eyes went wide in shock. “You''lle to cheer me on?”


    “Yes.”


    “But it''s not the weekend tomorrow.” Natalie was confused. “Darling, aren''t you busy?”


    “I''m not busy for the time being. Thepany is getting audited soon, so I''ll have some free time until


    then. When the audit starts, I''ll get busy,” Shane revealed. His lips curved into a smile as he assured


    her, “Don''t worry. I''ve adjusted my schedule so that I''m not neglecting thepany in order to spend


    time with you.”


    Natalie heaved a sigh of relief. “I''m d to hear that. I was worried that you''d put work aside to cheer


    for me. I''ll feel guilty if that''s the case.”


    “That won''t happen,” Shane responded as he shook his head.


    Natalie grunted in acknowledgment. “All right. You cane over tomorrow, then. What time will you


    be arriving? I''ll pick you guys up.”


    Shane thought about the flight details that Ss had arranged and replied, “Tomorrow at noon.”


    Natalie furrowed her brows and sighed. “Noon? I can''t pick you up, then. I''m afraid thepetition has


    already started.”


    “It''s fine. We can make our way to the venue ourselves. Besides, we have a surprise for you.”


    Something glinted across Shane''s eyes.


    Natalie''s interest was piqued. She quickly sat up and asked, “A surprise? What is it?”


    “You''ll find out tomorrow. Don''t worry. You''ll like it,” Shane assured her in his deep and hoarse voice.


    Natalie felt her heart skip a beat. “You sound serious. I can''t wait, then.”


    I''ll like it, huh? Let''s see what he has prepared for me.


    Shane chuckled softly. “I won''t disappoint you.”


    “I trust you.” Natalie bobbed her head.


    They talked over the phone for around two hours and only ended the call when the sky turned dark.


    At the same time, Joyce apanied Jonathan to the hospital to check on Stanley''s condition.


    It had been two days since the incident, and Stanley was still unconscious. Joyce grew increasingly


    stressed out and anxious.


    The longer Stanley stayed unconscious, the more serious his injuries would be, and the more likely he


    would exact retribution on Jonathan for causing him such pain.


    She wished Stanley would wake up as soon as possible so they could discuss the matter.


    The longer things dragged out, the more trouble it would be.


    “Doctor, how is he doing?” Jonathan asked the doctor who had just stepped out of Stanley''s ward.


    The doctor seemed confused, as he didn''t understand Jonathan''s words.
