He got himself into this disheveled state just to replace and save me.

At once, bitterness overwhelmed Natalie's heart as tears welled up in her eyes.

She didn't even cry when she couldn't replace a way out underneath the cliff, but she couldn't hold back her tears now.

"Shane..." Natalie threw herself into his arms and gave him a tight hug. "I'm sorry. You must've been so worried about me." Shane didn't expect her to hug him. He stiffened for a second before returning her hug. "It's fine, as long as you're safe." Natalie felt touched as guilt rose in her heart.

She was kidnapped several times, and he risked his own life just to save her every time.

At that thought, she kept apologizing profusely.

Since she showed no signs of stopping, Shane cupped her cheeks and covered her pale lips with his own to stop her from saying sorry.

Natalie was stunned at first, but she swiftly regained her composure and returned the kiss.

Shane could sense her urgency and increased his force. Both of them were trying to take the lead.

In the end, Natalie was no match for Shane.

He pinned her onto the bed slowly as she flung her arms around his neck.

An intense session of lovemaking ensued.

After a long time, when Natalie felt like she was about to faint, the man finally released her and got up.

By now, Natalie couldn't even move an inch. She shut her eyes lazily as she heard Shane asking someone to prepare some food.

After Shane put down the phone with Mrs. Wilson, he turned to gaze at the woman in bed, who was rubbing her cheek against the pillow, about to fall into a deep slumber. Shane patted her shoulder gently. "Nat, wake up. You can go back to bed after having something to eat."

"I don't have the energy to get up," Natalie replied in a hoarse voice as she shifted slightly.

Shane's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as his gaze darkened with desire.

If she wasn't feeling drained, he would've resumed their bedtime activity.

"Let me help you up." Shane tossed his phone aside and picked her up before heading toward the bathroom.

Natalie allowed him to wash her up and put on her clothes without even opening her eyes.

She only opened her eyes when she smelt something delicious.

"Madam, you're finally awake!" Mrs. Wilson exclaimed happily.

Natalie inclined her head. "Mrs. Wilson, you must've been worried."

Upon hearing her words, Mrs. Wilson's eyes reddened. She hurriedly wiped the corner of her eyes with her apron. "Yes, I'm glad that you're fine." "Thank you, Mrs. Wilson," said Natalie with a smile.

Mrs. Wilson waved her hand dismissively. "You're welcome. Madam, you must be starving. Help yourselves to the food."

She gave Natalie and Shane their cutlery.

Natalie was about to dig in when Shane gave her a bowl of soup.

"Here. Your stomach has been empty for too long. Have some soup first," he uttered.

"Yes, that's right. Have some soup first. I forgot all about it!" Mrs. Wilson slapped her own forehead.

Natalie took the bowl from Shane. "Alright, Mrs. Wilson. It isn't your fault."

In response, Mrs. Wilson beamed and urged, "Madam, you're so nice. Hurry up and dig in."

Natalie was indeed starving. Since her kidnapping, she had only eaten a few sour wild fruits and nothing else. After the vigorous session in bed, she was utterly weak. Hence, she proceeded to fill her belly.

Shane was also hungry as he lost his appetite when he was searching for Natalie.

He was gobbling the food more quickly than usual, but he still maintain his customary elegance.

After they finished their meal, Mrs. Wilson left their room with the tray in her hands. She bumped into Jacqueline on the second floor.

Jacqueline's gaze flickered as she looked at the tray in Mrs. Wilson's hands. “Mrs. Wilson, are Ms. Smith and Shane awake?"
