Shane paused in his steps at Silas' greeting. Turning, he grabbed the phone from Silas and demanded, “Where's
Natalie?”
“Your concern for her moves me to tears.” Sean's mockery had returned in full force. “Why are you asking me
about her whereabouts? Did it not strike you that she may be dead?”
“She's not dead!” Gripping the phone tightly, Shane continued in a cold tone, “I found the cave where the two of
you took shelter. We saw your footprints leading away from the cave too. She's still alive.”
Sean was surprised; he had not expected Shane to track them down so quickly.
Thank God we left earlier, or I'll be in his hands.
“I see.” He barked out a laugh before replying, “You're right. She is alive.”
“Where is she?” Shane asked urgently.
Sneering, Sean said, “Don't worry. She's alive and well in a farmer's house. I'll text you the address soon. Ciao.”
Sean gestured for his newly hired bodyguard to remove the phone from his ear and hang up before instructing him
to text Natalie's address to them.
Seated in a wheelchair, Sean then entered the train station with the aid of his bodyguard.
Meanwhile, Shane looked at the address Sean had sent him with an unreadable expression in his gaze.
Silas, who was standing beside him, asked, “Mr. Shane, did Sean call you personally to inform you of madam's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhereabouts?”
Shane nodded, much to Silas' surprise. The latter adjusted the frame of his glasses before commenting, “This isn't
his MO at all. He kidnapped madam and forced her to jump off a cliff with him. Now, he's sending you instructions to
save her. Could this be a trap?”
“I have to go even if it's a trap,” Shane gritted out as he returned the phone to Silas.
I have to save Natalie no matter what.
Silas knew it would be futile to advise Shane against going. Instead, he busied himself instructing the search and
rescue team to prepare for Sean's capture as well as Natalie's rescue.
They made it to the address provided by Sean in a short while.
At the sight of such a large group of men, the middle-aged lady who had helped Sean and Natalie grew anxious.
She mustered the courage to approach them. “Are you here for Ms. Natalie Smith?”
“Is madam really here?” Silas exclaimed.
Clenching his fists, Shane demanded, “Where is she?”
“Inside the house,” she replied while pointing toward the house.
Shane rushed in without giving a second thought about the possibility of walking into a trap.
Worried about his rash actions, Silas followed him in.
Lying on en old couch in the middle of the room wes en unconscious Netelie. A threedbere blenket covered her

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLying on an old couch in the middle of the room was an unconscious Natalie. A threadbare blanket covered her
body.
Shane reached the couch in several strides and swept Natalie into his arms. He placed his ear on her chest, and the
tension in his body finally relaxed when he heard her steady heartbeat.
In the next instant, he buried his head in the crook of her neck and tightened his embrace.
Natalie remained unconscious in his arms, as Shane's body shuddered with fear.
Silas was shocked at the sight.
His fear and concern for madam are palpable. He must love her very much!
He turned away to give Shane and Natalie some privacy. ”How is madam?” Silas asked the lady who greeted them
at the door.
She answered happily, “Not to worry, sir. She's alright. A doctor has been by to check her. She's not suffering from
anything serious other than cuts and bruises.”
“Why is she unconscious?”
“She fainted from hunger and exhaustion. The doctor gave her a nutrient injection just now. She'll be fine once she
wakes up.”
“Ok, that's great.” Silas was relieved.
Shane, on the other hand, kissed Natalie tenderly on the forehead. Placing her back on the couch, he stood up and
stared intently at the lady. “Where's Sean?”
