Natalie shook her head and choked out, “I'm fine. I just want to nap for a while.”

With that, Shane picked her up gently and carried her to the lounge.

As soon as she lay down on the bed, Natalie pulled the covers over her head and curled up into an almost fetal position.

Then, the covers started trembling.

She's crying!

Shane sighed softly as he gazed at the quivering covers. The person who could truly understand how Natalie felt at that moment was Shane.

After all, he had witnessed his parents' death with his own eyes before.

However, he was one to keep his feelings to himself, no matter how miserable or painful it was. Unlike Natalie, he did not shed a single tear.

“Go ahead and cry. It'll make you feel better,” Shane murmured softly, patting the huddled and trembling figure under the covers.

The shaking halted for a second, then her cries grew increasingly louder, no longer trying to suppress them. Her sobs echoed through the lounge.
