Chapter 1783


    Chapter 1783 The Family Of Five


    Shane knew what Natalie was afraid of. The scene of Sean getting killed must''ve freaked her out badly.


    That was why she had been falling into deep slumber intermittently for the past two days. But every


    time she was asleep, she would be gued by nightmares that left her muttering incessantly. That


    made Shane extremely worried.


    Perhaps because Shane''s hug was warm andforting, it did not take long to calm Natalie''s


    trembling body and voice. It was just that she sounded a little hoarse after not talking for two days.


    “Is Sean dead?” she asked while leaning against Shane''s chest, her eyes closed.


    The man grunted in acknowledgment. His expression, however, revealed that he was somewhat in


    hesitation.


    Sensing it, Natalie lifted her head to look at him. “What''s wrong?”


    “The gun Sean threw to me, as well as the one pointed at your head, aren''t loaded.”


    “What?” Natalie was taken aback.


    Shane nodded. “You heard it right. While my men were cleaning up the ce after Sean got killed, they


    found other military equipment inside the tent where you two exited. However, there were no bullets in


    that two guns. There''s only one possibility; Sean didn''t mean to kill you, neither did he want me to kill


    myself.”


    “Then, why did he—”


    “He doesn''t want to live anymore,” Shane interrupted. “He deliberately arranged everything that night


    just to make us kill him.”


    Natalie fell silent. It was beyond her imagination that things would turn out this way.


    After a while, she finally parted her pale lips and muttered, “He doesn''t want to live anymore... No


    wonder.”


    “Do you know something?” Shane lowered his head to look at her.


    Natalie bit her lips. “After he kidnapped me, he kept saying things along the lines of meeting me for the


    last time, and he also kept staring at me intently, almost as if he was trying to etch my image in his


    mind. He even gave me a ne. It turns out that he already has ns in mind at that time. Oh yes,


    where''s the ne?”


    She reached out and touched her neck, but found nothing.


    Shane pursed his lips slightly and uttered, “I threw it away. I know it was a gift from Sean. There''s his


    name on it. That''s why I threw it.”


    Natalie nodded, “That''s good. Even though he didn''t mean to kill us, that doesn''t mean we should


    forgive him. What he did in the past can never be undone. Of course, I wouldn''t want to keep his things


    too. Let it be. He''s already dead, and it''s all in the past. Let''s not mention him again, shall we?”


    “All right.” Shane nodded. Well, that was what he thought too.


    “From now on, no one can threaten us anymore. And no one will ever dare hurt you,” said Shane in a


    low voice while hugging Natalie.


    “Yeah. We don''t have to be on our guards all the time again. We can finally live our lives freely. By the


    way, where''s Stanley?” she asked.


    It was the least of her to show her concern over Stanley since he had also helped save her.


    “He''s gone back to the Rivers residence. He said he still has to earn their forgiveness and win over


    Joyce''s heart, so he can''t stay here longer. He wants us not to worry about him,” answered Shane.


    Natalie smiled. “I see. But it probably won''t be easy for him to earn their forgiveness.”


    “That''s his problem and nothing to do with us. He has to make the decisions for what he has done.”


    “You''re right.” Natalie nodded. “What about Lina?”


    “She''s fine. She called yesterday and said she''s gone to visit Bryan. She wants you not to worry.”


    “I see.” Comprehension dawned upon Natalie. “Then what about the children?”


    Just as Shane was about to reply, the door suddenly opened.


    At the ward door stood Connor, Sharon, and Zaylee, who was carrying Anders.


    A dazzling smile instantly crept up on Natalie''s face when she saw the three kids.


    “Mommy.” The moment Connor and Sharon saw Natalie awake, their eyes lit up in unison as they ran


    toward the bed.

    Anders was awake at that point. Even though he was too young to run over like how Connor and


    Sharon did, he still spread his arms wide and reached them toward Natalie''s direction. It was clear he


    wanted to hug Natalie too.


    Seeing this, Shane walked over to carry Anders from Zaylee''s arms and carefully ced the boy in


    Natalie''s arms.


    Sitting on the bed, Natalie snuggled in Shane''s embrace. She had Anders in her arms while the twins


    stood by the bed. It was a very heartwarming scene to watch.


    Zaylee pulled out her phone and snapped a photo of the family of five.


    Following a click, thatforting image was captured on the phone screen.


    It was a moment full of bliss that wouldst an eternity.
