Natalie massaged the bridge of her nose. “I don't have a choice. I want to find Shane as quickly as I can.”

However, I'll be leaving Sharon here and asking the housekeeper to take care of her. As for Anders... Anders can't leave the incubator for now, so I can't bring him home. I'll be asking the medical team Shane had brought together previously to watch over Anders.”

“Okay.” Lina nodded. “I'll send this document back to the organizers first. Then, I'll send you off tonight.”

Natalie hummed in agreement.

After Lina left, Sharon began crying. “Mommy, are you going to leave me here alone?”

You have the housekeeper to take care of you here, so I'll feel at ease. I'll call you every day, all right?
