Shane knew what Natalie was afraid of. The scene of Sean getting killed must've freaked her out badly.

That was why she had been falling into deep slumber intermittently for the past two days. But every time she was asleep, she would be plagued by nightmares that left her muttering incessantly. That made Shane extremely worried.

Perhaps because Shane's hug was warm and comforting, it did not take long to calm Natalie's trembling body and voice. It was just that she sounded a little hoarse after not talking for two days.

“Is Sean dead?” she asked while leaning against Shane's chest, her eyes closed.

However, there were no bullets in that two guns. There's only one possibility; Sean didn't mean to kill you, neither did he want me to kill myself.”
