After all, there was no telling what crazy stunts she would pull next if she were to go free.

Shane arched an eyebrow upon hearing that. “Oh? Are you sure you won't rescue her? You love her very much, don't you? Things aren't going to end well for her now that she's in my hands. In fact, she might even die at my hand! Knowing this, you still won't try to save her?”

Of course, Jackson knew that Shane was testing him by spiting him. “That's right, I won't save her. It's true that I don't want her to die, but I also know that it would be unfair to your parents if she lives. Perhaps this is a form of release for Jacqueline.”

I can't tell if Jackson is telling the truth, but it doesn't matter. Jacqueline isn't going to get away this time!

Shane narrowed his eyes at the thought of that. “Okay, I can allow you to see her. I'll give you further instructions tomorrow night.”

Feeling relieved that his request had been approved, Jackson thanked him profusely, “Sure thing! Thank you, Shane!”

Shane simply hung up on him without saying anything further.

“Dr. Baker wants to see Jacqueline?” Natalie asked.

“Yeah, he says he has some questions for her,” Shane replied while putting his cell phone aside.

“As well he should!” Natalie said with a smile.

Shane arched an eyebrow at her. “You know what he wants to ask her?”

Natalie nodded. “Kind of. It's most likely about their relationship or something. All right, enough talk about them. Let's go upstairs and see what the kids are doing!”
