Chapter 1338


    "Okay."


    Natalie nodded with a smile.


    "Come on.Let''s go get something to eat," Shane said.


    After finishing their meal, Natalie brought the two children to their room.


    Shane, on the other hand, disappeared into the study.


    He had spent the afternoon with Jackson at the crematorium which meant that he did not have the


    chance to finish his work.


    Hence, he had no choice but to workte into the night to get things done.

    Although he was busy with work, he did not forget his earlier promise to Natalie that he would contact


    the foreign hospital and enquire about Anders’ return to the country.


    At midnight, once Shane was done with his work, he returned to their bedroom and updated Natalie


    about his call.


    "So, can Anderse home?"


    Natalie sped her hands together in excitement.


    Shane loosened his tie.


    "Of course, I''ve already told you before that Anders cane home once he''s at least seven months


    old.He''s seven months old now, so he cane home!"


    "That''s great!" Natalie started pacing the room excitedly.


    Suddenly, a thought urred to her.She turned to look at Shane.


    "So, when exactly will Anders return to us? The procedure for his return must beplex, right?"


    "Yes, it''ll be quiteplicated, especially since Anders will need to have medical instruments brought


    along with him.Don''t worry though, Ss will take care of it.We will arrange for him to be admitted to a


    local hospital.The foreign hospital has said that, although he can return to the country, he still can''t


    come home yet.He still needs to be in an incubator in the hospital for another ten months before we


    can bring him home" Shane said.


    Anders, who was already rather weak to start with, did not have a strong immune system yet because


    he was born three months premature.


    If he were to leave the incubator too early, there was a high risk of him being attacked by viruses and


    bacteria which could be fatal.


    As such, he could only be brought home from the hospital after he had reached full term and his


    immune system had strengthened.


    Even then, Shane and Natalie would have to take special care of him because he was a rather weak


    baby to start with.


    "l understand.I''ll be happy as long as Anders can return to the country.Then, I''ll be able to see him all


    the time? “ Natalie said with a soft smile.


    Shane wrapped his arms around her gently.


    "Yes.Not only will you be able to see Anders every day, but in just a few months’ time, you''ll be able to


    hold him every day too."


    "Yes, I will" Natalie said, nodding her head firmly.


    "Okay then, time to sleep," Shane said as he released Natalie from his embrace.


    He rubbed his temples gently.He had not had much sleep the night before because he had spent the


    entirety of the night working out.


    In addition, he had had a busy day.


    At that moment, Shane was beyond exhausted.He could barely keep his eyes open for another minute.


    Natalie noticed the exhaustion on Shane''s face.She did not argue with him and went toy down on the


    bed immediately.


    That night, the two of them did nothing else but sleep cuddled up in each other''s arms.


    The next morning, Shane was still fast asleep when Natalie woke up.It was rare for him to not rise


    early.He''s probably very tired.


    That''s why he''s still sleeping.


    Natalie gazed at Shane''s sleeping form.


    Her outstretched fingers traced his brows gently.


    However, she soon drew back her hand for fear of disturbing his sleep.


    Just as she was about to pull away, Shane''s eyes flew open, and he quickly reached out to grab her


    wrist.


    "Are you going to run away after doing something naughty?"


    Natalie blushed and retorted in a rather guilty tone, "w-who''s doing something naughty?"


    "Weren''t you?" Shane asked with a little smirk.


    "Weren''t you just touching me? Don''t you know that you shouldn''t simply touch a man in the morning?"


    Shane whispered hoarsely in her ear.


    Natalie heard the lust in his voice.


    Hearing the need in his voice, her heart began racing and her body tingled in response.She could not


    help melting her body against his.She avoided his eyes as she said, "I didn''t know that."


    Shane listened to her weak denial andughed in a low voice.


    "It''s fine if you didn''t know it before, but now that you do.What are you going to do, honey?"


    "What should I do?"


    The corner of Natalie''s lip lifted slyly.She knew very well what he wanted her to do, but she did not want


    to give in to him.


    "Alright.Now that you''re awake, get up! I''m going to wash up.I''m hungry!" Natalie urged, nudging Shane


    gently.
