“That's good to hear,” Natalie replied, nodding slightly before tightening her grip on the spoon. “So, when did you get back last night? Also, why was your phone turned off?”

“You called me?” Shane asked, slightly startled.

“Yeah, I called you early in the morning. You weren't back yet, so I wanted to ask when you'd be home. But your phone was turned off.”

“Sorry, it was out of battery,” he explained, putting down the glass. “I came home at two in the morning yesterday. It took four hours for Jacqueline to get out of danger.”

“That long?” Natalie asked, widening her eyes in surprise.

“She drank some hard liquor, which burned her internal organs and even caused bleeding in her stomach. That's why it took longer,” he explained.

“I see.” She nodded but did not say anything else.

Shane then handed her a black credit card.

She looked at him in surprise. “What's this for?”

Why's he giving me a card for no reason?

“We just got married yesterday, but I wasn't home with you because of Jacqueline's situation. This is my way of compensating for it. You can buy anything you want,” he said in a slightly apologetic tone.

He really was feeling sorry.
