Although the steak had already turned cold, it was the type of steak where the taste would not affect as a result of the temperature.

Shane handed a napkin over to Natalie.

Just as she reached out to receive it, his phone rang.

“Sorry, let me get this call,” he said, quickly pushing the napkin into her hand before taking out his phone.

Noticing that it was from Jackson, he frowned before answering it. “Hello?”

“Shane, bad news. Something's happened to Jacqueline,” Jackson said anxiously.

Shane abruptly tightened his grip on the napkin in his hand. “What did you say? Speak clearly. What happened to Jacqueline?”

Hearing him mention Jacqueline, Natalie froze as she looked at Shane. “What happened to Ms. Graham?” she asked.

However, he did not answer her question and instead waited silently for Jackson's reply.

At that moment, Jackson was wearing a sterile suit while walking to the emergency room. He hurriedly replied, “She drank alcohol and vomited blood. She was on the brink of death when the nurse found her. She's now in the emergency room.”

“She drank?” Shane asked, gritting his teeth. “Why did she drink?”

“Why else?” There was a flash of ridicule in Jackson's gaze as he replied, “Because you got married today!”
