However, Jackson noticed her. Adjusting his spectacles in surprise, he exclaimed, “It's Natalie! Why did she come to the hospital?”

“You know her, Dr. Baker?” asked the nurse as she helped him tidy his coat.

Jackson nodded. “She's my friend's wife.”

“That lady looks like she's in a hurry. Her eyes are red too as if she had just cried,” remarked the nurse as she glanced in the direction in which Natalie was heading in.

When Jackson heard that Natalie had cried, his heart skipped a beat. Deep in thought, he mumbled, “Did something happen? Did she argue with Shane? That can't be possible. Why would she rush to the hospital if they argued?”

When the nurse heard his mutterings, she made a bold guess. “Dr. Baker, the emergency room for the critically ill is in that direction. Did something bad happen to the lady's relatives or friends?”

Reminded by her, Jackson widened his eyes. “Did something happen to Shane?”

Upon that thought, he hurriedly whipped out his phone and called Shane.

The call went through quickly. However, it rang a few times without anyone answering it.

Jackson started to feel even more uneasy. Just when he was about to hang up and call Silas instead, Shane suddenly picked it up. “What's up?”

Jackson's worry then dissipated. “That's great! You're alright.”

“Huh?” Shane frowned.

Coughing lightly, Jackson replied, “I bumped into your wife at the hospital earlier. She seemed to be distressed while running towards the emergency room. I assume it was someone important to her. So, I thought something bad had happened to you.”
