So what if I can't? Mom's dead, and there's no bringing her back. So instead of being sad, I might as well turn my

focus onto getting my revenge.

“As will I. I'm so glad to have you.” Shane held her quietly and whispered while his chin rested on her shoulder.

It was her constant presence by his side and the comfort and counsel she provided that sustained him.

He imagined that he might not have been able to keep his composure when he found out that Sam and Jacqueline

were behind his parents' death and would likely have sought them out and killed them outright.

It was because of her and their two children that he was able to keep his violent tendencies and thirst for

vengeance in check.

Otherwise, how were they to cope if he were to end up in prison?

With that in view, Shane nibbled at Natalie's neck. “I've never thanked you, honey, for coming into my life. I can't

imagine what sort of a man I would have been without you.”

Perhaps a cold-blooded and vengeful man or an emotionless money-making machine.

Natalie patted him on the back. “All right, all right. What are you getting all mushy on me for? I can't get used to

this.”

Shane chuckled under his breath and continued to peck at her nape.

Unable to resist the ticklishness, Natalie started to put up a little resistance. “Okay, enough. Let go now. It tickles!”

Shane was not relenting. On the contrary, his lips quickly traced their way down the length of her neck and onto her

collarbone. “Seems like it's almost time.”

“Time for what?” Natalie was stumped for a moment there.

The man temporarily relinquished his hold on her nape and lifted his eyes to regard her. “Three months. The doctor

said that the baby would be stabilized in three months, and you'd become available.”

Natalie blushed, simultaneously surprised and a little peeved. “Don't tell me that you've been counting down the

days?”

Shane snorted his silent admission.

Natalie was positively bemused. “Jeez...”

“Give it to me.” Shane interrupted and regarded her with a longing in his eyes that certainly reflected how arduous

these past three months had been for him.

As a grown person herself, she had her own biological impulses too, so she was not able to turn him down this time.

Finally, she exhaled. “Just be careful.”

Seeing that she had consented, Shane's thin lips curled into a grin. “Don't worry. I'll be very gentle.”

With that, he swept her up into his arms and took her to the couch.

Shane approached it as delicately as he promised, and Natalie felt no discomfort in her abdomen.

It went to show that apart from counting down the days, he had been doing his homework with regard to the

intensity he should be applying.

Worn out, Natalie fell fast asleep.

Shane carried her back to the room and tucked her in before he retrieved a box of cigarettes and a lighter. He then

headed out to the balcony.

There was where he stayed for some time and made two or three phone calls in between. After which, he went to

shower off the scent of tobacco from himself and slipped into bed holding Natalie.

On the following day, Natalie made a trip down to the police station as Harrison requested. She waited till one in the

afternoon before she set off for the hospital in the company of Jared and two or three officers.

Shane was not there as he had some matters to see to over at Thompson Group. Unable to make it in time, he

could only join them when everything was settled on his end.

It was ten minutes to two when they reached the hospital.

Jared looked to Natalie. “Shall we head on in, Nat?”

She considered that and finally shook her head. “Harrison told us to come at two, so two it is. It's only ten minutes

so let's wait outside.”

“Okay.” Jared nodded before he headed over to the elevator with the police officers.

Soon, they arrived on the floor where Harrison was warded.

The five stepped out of the elevator and stood somewhere in the corridor not too far from where Harrison was.

They were to monitor the time and wait until it was almost two before they entered.

Inside the ward, Susan was there in front of the bed engaged in conversation with the bed-ridden Harrison.

A physically frail but visibly disappointed Harrison said, “Why? Haven't I treated you well enough? Why did you have

to betray me like this?”
