Bearing that thought in mind, Natalie covered her face and burst into tears. Her persistence had vanished into thin air.

Shane heaved a sigh when he realized that he managed to persuade her. He took her hands off her face and put a fork in her hands before saying gently, "Eat up. You have to stay strong for Yulia, okay?" She bit down on her lips and whimpered. "Okay."

He then handed the container to her again.

This time, she didn't push it away but took it with shaky hands instead. After removing the lid, she started to eat while tears fell from her face.

Even if she didn't have the appetite, she suppressed the urge to vomit and swallowed the food.

However, Natalie had only eaten half of her food when Shane took the container away from her. "Alright, that's enough. You haven't eaten the whole day so you shouldn't eat so much at one go. Rest up now." Having no objections to it, she lay down on her bed and turned to another side, facing the man with her back.

He put the food container aside and left the ward quietly afterward.

"Mr. Shane, is madam asleep?" Silas asked.

Shane shut the door and instructed, "Yes, you should head back first. I'll be here to accompany her for the next two days. Please handle the company matters. Call me if there's anything." "Understood," Silas answered and left.

Not long after he left, Mrs. Wilson led the two children over.

She was one of the few who knew about what happened to Yulia. Shane had called and told her about it when Natalie passed out. He needed her help to pick up the children at the kindergarten. That was why she had rushed over to the hospital with the kids after picking them up.

"Sir-" Mrs. Wilson was about to say something when the children broke free from her and ran towards Shane.

"Daddy, what happened to grandma?" Connor's eyes were red as he asked while looking up at his father.

Sharon wanted to know as well.

They didn't know that Yulia had passed since Mrs. Wilson didn't get into the details with them. All she said was that something had happened to their grandma.

Shane looked down at them for a moment before squatting down and taking them in his arms. "Your grandma... She's passed away."

Connor's eyes widened in shock.

Sharon, however, burst into tears immediately after hearing the news.

Her cries snapped her brother back to his senses. Shaking his head in disbelief, he wailed, "Impossible! She was just talking to us this morning! No! How could this be..." He broke down in tears before he could even finish his sentence.

He might be more matured than his age, but alas, he was just a five-year-old kid, after all. His grandmother, who loved him so dearly, had passed away. It was only natural that he couldn't take the bad news well.

Shane's heart ached at the sight of his children bawling their eyes out.

However, he didn't try to stop them, just like how he didn't stop Natalie from doing so as well.

He could understand their grief of losing the one nearest to them. It would do them worse if they bottled up their feelings-they would eventually break down mentally.

That was why he just let them be.

He was their support at that moment.

Mrs. Wilson felt just as sad as she stood beside and wiped her tears with her sleeves. "How could this happen? She was just fine this morning. How could this be?"

Shane stayed silent as he patted the children's back gently to prevent them from choking from their tears.

It went on for quite a while before they fell asleep in his embrace.

He couldn't care less about his numb legs as he picked the both of them up in his arms. "Mrs. Wilson, both of them have fallen asleep. Please bring them home and take good care of them." With that said, he handed them over to her.

Mrs. Wilson carried both children without breaking a sweat. "Don't worry, sir. I'll take good care of them."
