Natalie had no choice but to do what Joyce had said.

When she accepted the call, she put it in speaker mode so that Joyce could also hear the conversation. Then, she placed the device on the table.

“Hey, Stanley,” she greeted.

“Nat, I saw Mr. Shane's post,” informed the man. “You guys got married?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh, so it's true. I thought I've guessed incorrectly.” Stanley let out a smile that did not quite reach his eyes before adjusting his glasses. “Well, congratulations.”

Not knowing Stanley's actual reaction, Natalie smiled as well before thanking him.

“See? I told you he was only going to ask about this.” Joyce mouthed.

Natalie ignored her as she asked Stanley about his condition.

Right when he was about to reply, a woman's shy voice echoed from his end of the phone. “I'm back, Dr. Quinn.”

Upon hearing the voice, Joyce's body shuddered and she jolted up from her seat.

Even Natalie could make out who the voice belonged to. It was Annie Hill of the Hill family.
