Feel the Way You Feel, My Love
Chapter 1143

Lucy retorted with a frown, "How am I wrong? I clearly saved his life! How dare you guys accuse me like this?"

Natalie glared at Lucy as she said, "I'll refrain from commenting on your selfish actions, but I will tell you this, Ms. Rivers. What you should have done was call the police after sending him to the hospital. That way, they can confirm his identity, contact his family, and get him treated in time!"

Silas nodded. "Exactly! Ms. Rivers, do you even know what could've happened if you hid Mr. Thompson from us? His family members would be worried sick, the company would descend into chaos, madam would be devastated, and his kids would be really upset as well! On top of that, Mr. Thompson might end up in a vegetative state, and it will be all your fault!”

Lucy went pale and took a few steps back as she mumbled, "I...I didn't know... I never thought about that..."

Of course... There was no way an ordinary person like her would have taken all of that into consideration!

"It's understandable if you never thought about what would happen to us, but you not calling the police is clearly intentional. A person lying unconscious by the side of a river is suspicious no matter how you look at it, and yet you bring him home without even thinking about calling the police? What if he's a bad guy, huh?" Natalie questioned her.

"B-But he's so handsome... How could he possibly be a bad guy?" Lucy stammered.

Neither Natalie nor Silas knew how to respond to that.

Okay, it's clear as day now... She's one of those shallow girls that think appearances are everything. To her, those who look good are good people, and those who don't are bad people. Had Mr. Thompson looked ugly instead, she might have actually called the police the moment she found him! Heck, she might even just run off without calling the police at all! It's obvious that she likes Mr. Thompson and plans on hiding him from madam so she can keep him to herself!

Silas shot Lucy a disdainful look at the thought of that and whispered into Natalie's ear, "Madam, I think we shouldn't waste our time arguing with her about this. For now, let's just bring Mr. Thompson back." Natalie nodded. "All right, get someone to bring the stretcher."

"Yes, madam." Silas then ran off to give the instruction.

"No! You can't take him away!" Lucy shouted instinctively out of panic when she saw them about to take Shane away.

The look in Natalie's eyes grew cold, and her beautiful face was filled with annoyance as she asked, "He's my husband, so why can't I take him with me? What do you expect me to do, huh? You want me to just let him spend the rest of his life here with you, Ms. Rivers? Is that what you're saying?"

"I... I..." Lucy's face burned bright red when she realized she had voiced out her inner thoughts.

"I don't care what you mean by that, but what you did is illegal. I'm willing to let you off the hook because you have saved my husband's life, so don't test my patience or you'll regret it!" Natalie said with a cold sneer before turning to help move Shane onto the stretcher.

They soon left the village while Lucy watched from the distance with a miserable look in her reddened eyes.

Natalie and the others made it back into the city in about an hour.

As Silas had given Jackson a call beforehand, he was already on standby with his medical team in the operating theater by the time they got there.

Shane was immediately wheeled into the operating theater while Natalie waited outside.

Jackson was adjusting his scrubs when he noticed the anxious look on her face. "Don't worry, it's just a minor surgery. You'll be able to see Shane really soon!" he comforted her in a gentle voice. Although Natalie didn't like Jackson very much, she couldn't afford to be mean to him as she needed him to save Shane. "Got it, thanks!" she said with a forced smile.
