When Shane arrived in the afternoon, Natalie bade farewell to Joyce before getting into his car.

“In a good mood?” Shane asked gently.

Natalie turned to him and blinked in surprise. “You can tell?”

“It's obvious.”

Natalie smiled and opened the car window a crack. “Stanley's condition is improving, so yes, I'm in a pretty good mood.”

The mention of Stanley made Shane instantly narrow his eyes in annoyance. “You've contacted him?”

“No, I haven't,” Natalie replied with a shake of her head. “It was him who called me to apologize for what he did earlier. Oh, he also told me to pass on his apologies to you. He said it was never his intention to stab you.”

Upon hearing that, Shane scoffed and pursed his lips. “And you believe him?”

“Why not?” Natalie asked as she turned to face Shane. “He was out of control then and wasn't clear-headed. If he was, I believe he wouldn't have hurt anyone with a knife.”
