Feel the Way You Feel, My Love Chapter 927

The reply had Natalie crying all over again. That must have hurt an awful lot! Sharon can't stand pain-she cries at even the smallest bruise. I can't imagine how scared she was when Jacqueline threw her to the ground and how much pain she had to endure!

She gripped her daughter's hand tightly. "I'm sorry, Darling," she sobbed. "Mommy's so sorry for not being able to protect you." I shouldn't have left the kids for the competition. Sharon wouldn't be in this state it I were there to watch over her.

Shane picked Connor up and placed the boy on the foot of the bed. Then, he placed a comforting hand on Natalie's shoulder. "Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. Nobody saw this coming."

"He was kicked twice by Jacqueline in the process of trying to save his sister. His backside was pretty bruised. I was applying medication on him in the bathroom earlier when you came in," the man explained. Thunderstruck by this revelation, Natalie pulled off her son's pants to check his injury for herself. Her eyes widened as large patches of bruises filled her vision. The shock melted away, quickly replaced by a hatred directed toward the person who did this.

"Jacqueline Graham," she spat, voice dripping with venom.

She would not have been so angry and upset if Jacqueline had come after her. However, that woman chose to target her children, and that had turned Natalie into a ferocious mama bear, ready to bare her fangs at any and all who hurt her cubs. I'll get you back for this, Jacqueline!

"Didn't you keep Jacqueline under lock and key? How did that woman escape?" Natalie bit out, looking at Shane with a frown. The latter knew that in her angered state, she was lashing out and was mad at him for letting this happen.

Before he could say anything, however, Connor cut in. "Mommy, don't blame Daddy. It's not his fault!"

Warmed to see his son standing up for him, Shane shot him a smile. That's my boy.

"What do you mean, Baby?" Natalie asked.

"Daddy didn't let that woman out. She escaped because of Mr. Jackson!"

Natalie was surprised. "Jackson? Jackson Baker?"

Shane nodded in affirmation. "Yes. He let her out. I had no idea that he's so head over heels for Jacqueline that he'd help her escape."

He had initially agreed to let Jackson visit her out of the friendship he had with the man. However, he did not foresee that Jacqueline would succeed in convincing his friend to help her escape. Shane sighed. What's even more ironic is the fact that Jackson, for all of his medical knowledge and expertise, believes that a psychopath like Jacqueline would repent and gain the ability to empathize.

Natalie fisted her hands. "I see... So it was him."

Connor chimed in, "Daddy even punched Mr. Jackson!"

Some of the anger dissipated at her son's words. "Serves him right," she said firmly. Turning to her husband, she asked, "What do you plan to do with Jackson after this? He's responsible for that woman's escape, which in turn caused harm to my children. I'll be frank-I don't want you to be friends with him again. If you don't think you can do that, I would like us to divorce."

Shane's lips thinned. He disliked the ultimatum but could understand where Natalie was coming from. Even if Jacqueline had not harmed the twins, he would still have ended his friendship with Jackson. "I've already cut off all ties with Jackson," he said. "But I have yet to dish out any punishment for him. He has many patients under him, after all. They still need him to perform his duties as a doctor. Let's wait till after we apprehend Jacqueline."

What he said was true. He and Jackson were no longer friends the moment he came to know that the latter was responsible for Jacqueline's escape.
