Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 1147

Just like that, Natalie and Shane were the only ones left inside the ward.

Noticing that Shane was trying to sit upright, Natalie helped him up and placed a pillow behind his back.

“Connor told me I was unconscious for a few days. How long was I out?” Shane asked while rubbing his forehead.

He hadn’t checked the date as he had just woken up, so he didn’t know how long he was unconscious.

Natalie pulled up a chair and sat down beside the bed. “About eight days.”

Shane was shocked. “That long?”

“Yeah. The doctors said you were hit hard on the head, and that caused a blood clot to form inside which led to you being unconscious. It could’ve easily been removed with a minor surgery, but the small hospital didn’t have the equipment for it. That’s why it dragged on for so long,” Natalie explained while fiddling with his hand.

Shane arched an eyebrow at her. “Small hospital? What do you mean?”

I remember losing consciousness when I hit my head on some rocks in the river, but… the manager and his staff should’ve found me as they were in the river too. There’s no way they’d take me to a small hospital, so something else must’ve happened to me!

Natalie rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically, “You went missing in the river and ended up being carried downstream by the current. Then, some random woman found you before the manager did and took you away. She then brought you to a small clinic in town. Congratulations on having such a romantic encounter even when you’re unconscious, Darling!”

A faint smile formed on Shane’s lips when he noticed that she was being jealous because that meant she cared about him.

“Who was she?” Shane asked.

Natalie knew what he meant, but decided to tease him and pretended to be unhappy as she asked, “Why do you ask? Are you planning on getting yourself a second wife or something?”

Shane chuckled as he lifted her chin and gave her a kiss on the lips. “Why would I go for a nobody like her when I’m already married to the most beautiful woman on earth? Am I that tasteless to you?”

“How would I know? Even the ugliest of women can seem attractive when you’ve gotten sick of the prettiest one!” Natalie replied with a smile.

Shane gently tousled her hair as he said, “Don’t worry, I’ll only love you for the rest of my life.”

“I know you will.” Natalie wrapped her arms around his neck as she continued, “Her name is Lucy Rivers. She’s from an ordinary family and happened to be passing by the river at the time. She then found you on the river bank and saved you like I have mentioned earlier. Although she meant well, her actions resulted in us taking a much longer time to find you. As if that wasn’t bad enough, she actually refused to hand you over when we found you two days ago.”

Shane frowned. “What do you mean? Is she working for Sean? Is that why she refused to hand me over?”

Natalie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at how dense he was. “Of course not, silly! She fell for you and didn’t want us to take you away from her!”

Shane’s frown deepened when he heard that. She tried to hide me from my family because she fell for me? There’s no way I would ever accept such a selfish and twisted form of affection! Besides, there are

tons of women out there who have done crazier things to win me over, so what makes her think I’d take a liking to her? Even if she saved my life, the only feeling I have for her is disgust!

“Have you given her a reward for saving me? If not, you can have Silas pay her some money as a token of appreciation,” Shane said coldly.

Natalie shrugged. “I did make her an offer when I found you, but she thought I was insulting her integrity and refused to accept it. Having no other choice, I could only tell her to reconsider it and contact us when she has thought it through.” NôvelDrama.Org content.

Shane arched an eyebrow once again.

Paying someone money is insulting their integrity? This is the first time I’ve ever heard of such logic! Looks like this Lucy person isn’t quite right in the head!

“Fine, we’ll give her some time to think about it, then. If she still doesn’t know what she wants, we’ll have Silas approach her and offer either a house or a huge sum of money. It’s best to return the favor as soon as possible,” Shane said.
