CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“So soon?” Lina gasped.

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

“What about the kids?” Lina asked.

Natalie handed her the document and responded, “I'll be taking Connor back. After all, I'll need his help when I look for Shane. 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?”

“I'm sorry, Sharon. I have no choice but to do this. I have to find your daddy, and I won't have the time to take good care of you. You have the housekeeper to take care of you here, so I'll feel at ease. I'll call you every day, all right? Once I find your daddy, I'll bring you home right away, okay?” Natalie ruffled her daughter's head, trying not to show her distress on her face.
