CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

When Shane saw her reaction, his heart ached. He said, “S-She... passed away!”

Natalie's eyes widened before they rolled to the back of her head. Unable to bear this devastating blow, she toppled backward.

Noticing that, Shane's expression changed drastically. After calling out Natalie's name anxiously, he reached out his arms, grabbed her, and summoned the doctor over.

After a long while, Natalie was jolted awake by a nightmare.

Sitting up on the bed, she panted heavily as beads of sweat formed on her forehead. There was still a lingering trace of shock in her expression.

Shane pushed the door open and entered. When he saw that she was awake, he strode over briskly. “You're awake?”

“Shane?” Natalie turned her head around and glanced at him. Then, she grabbed his arm and exclaimed, “Shane, I just had a nightmare that my Mom passed away...”

“It's not a nightmare...” interrupted Shane, staring straight into her eyes.

Natalie's expression froze on her face. A long time passed before she spoke, her lips deathly pale. “Shane, do you know what you're saying?”

Shane hugged her head and pressed it into his embrace. “I do, but you know too, don't you?”

Natalie's body froze.

Stroking her hair, Shane continued, “Nat, stop lying to yourself. It's not a nightmare. Your Mom's really gone.”
