Natalie flicked her hair back. “Forget it. No matter what, it was an experience that I prefer to keep in my memories even though it was when I first met Shane.”

She couldn't help but heave a sigh.

Back then, she had agreed to Jasmine's request to accompany an elderly man in his fifties just to save Jared.

Although the man turned out to be Shane in the end, that was still the darkest moment of her life.

It was pure luck that Shane had taken the elderly man's place.

If she hadn't gone to the wrong room or slept with someone else other than Shane, it would have still been a nightmare for her.

Natalie tried her best to put the incident out of her mind, knowing that if it hadn't been for Shane, she might have been subjected to something unimaginable.

Taking in Natalie's grim expression, Lina was able to instantly tell that something had gone wrong back then. She nodded and flashed a smile. “All right, I will not press you for any further details if you don't wish to share them.”

“Thanks, Lina,” Natalie responded with a forced smile.

Lina gave a dismissive wave. “There is no need for you to thank me. It was my mistake for bringing up the distressing incident. You have every right to be angry with me. Why are you thanking me instead?”

Natalie flashed a smile and said nothing else.

Lina shrugged. “Anyway, Jasmine will stay in the mental hospital until she dies, right?”

“Yes,” Natalie replied. “Living her life as a raving lunatic for the rest of her life is the best form of punishment for her.”

Lina pursed her lips and remarked, “You and Mr. Thompson are generous people. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't spend money on taking care of a lunatic.”

Natalie chuckled lightly. “Shane and I aren't taking care of her. We're confining her.”

“I still think you're taking care of her. If I were you, I'd kick her out and let her survive on her own. She can cause trouble to society if she wants,” Lina said. Then a thought crossed her mind, and she looked at Natalie. “Say, Nat, Joyce mentioned that she has a little brother. How is he doing now?”
