CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“Okay.” Natalie nodded to show him she understood.

Shane led Jacqueline away. Natalie watched as they got into the car before leading the children indoors.

Shane did not return that night. Natalie called and was informed that Jacqueline was about to have surgery for her cornea replacement and that he was going to keep her company.

Though Natalie was not happy about it at all, she agreed for him to remain in the hospital.

As Natalie was about to send the children to school the next morning, Mrs. Wilson came hurrying out with a thermal food jar and a bag. “Madam, please could you pass this to Mr. Shane on your way there?”

Natalie received the items and noticed some of Shane's clothes in the bag. “I will bring it over to him,” she promised. “We're leaving.”

At that, she led the children out.

After dropping them off, Natalie headed for the hospital. Upon obtaining Jacqueline's room number from the receptionist, she had located it without much difficulty.

Natalie was about to knock when the sight of the room within through the slightly ajar door rooted her on the spot.

Jacqueline sat up on the bed with a heavy swath of bandages around her eyes with her arms tightly around Shane. He did not push her away but was lightly patting her on the back whilst speaking softly to her.
