Chapter 1118

The moment Shane jumped into the river, there was a stone in the fast-flowing river that happened to
hit his head, causing him to pass out at once and to be carried downstream by the strong current.

The manager and the others did not know what happened to him. It was not until they were ashore that
they realized he was missing.

Meanwhile, it was five o’clock in the afternoon where Natalie was.

She and Lina were working on a blueprint when Sally brought her a glass of water.

She took it from her with a smile. Just as she was about to drink it, she suddenly felt a throbbing pain in
her heart, and the glass she was holding fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

Her feet were wet from the warm water in the glass. Fortunately, it was not hot water; otherwise, her
feet would definitely be scalded.

“Ah!” Lina, whose feet were also wet, rose to her feet at once and looked at Natalie. “What’s wrong,
Nat?”

Natalie stared blankly at her hand and said nothing. She was zoning out.

“Nat? Nat?” Lina called out again and even waved her hand in front of Natalie’s face.

Yet, Natalie still did not give her any response.

“What’s wrong with her?” Lina frowned.

Hearing her words, Sally, who was cleaning up the glass shards on the ground, looked up and noticed
Natalie’s unusual behavior.

“Nat!” she shouted.



Finally putting down her hand, Natalie asked in a daze, “What’s the matter?”

“We were talking to you, but you didn’t respond,” replied Sally.

Lina nodded. “Yeah. You suddenly dropped the glass, then stared at your own hand in a daze. Are you
feeling unwell?”

Natalie shook her head, then nodded again. “My heart suddenly hurt just now, but I’m fine now. Though
I still feel a little restless, as if something bad has happened.”

At this, Lina and Sally exchanged looks.

“You’re thinking too much. Why don’t you take a rest in your room? Maybe you’re just too tired,” Sally
started.

“That’s right, Nat. You should get some rest. You’ve been working all day today. I’m tired as well, not to
mention that you’re pregnant now,” Lina said after letting out a yawn.

Natalie put down the pencil and said, “Maybe I’m really too tired. All right, then. I’ll go back and take a
rest. Help me look after Connor and Sharon.”

“Don’t worry. We’ll call you when it’s dinnertime.” Sally waved her hand, motioning her to go back to her
room.

Forcing a smile, Natalie left the studio and returned to her room on the second floor.

Later in the evening, Sally woke her up as promised.

At the dining table, Sally and Lina began to worry when they saw that something was still wrong with
Natalie.

“Nat, are you okay?” asked Sally.



Natalie shook her head. “No. I thought I was just too tired and would be fine after taking a rest, but after
waking up, I feel even more restless. I wonder if something bad has really happened.”

“But we’re all fine. Nothing happened to us. Connor and Sharon are doing well here too.” Sharon
looked at the two kids, who nodded in unison.

Lina narrowed her eyes as she suddenly thought of something. “We’re all here, but Mr. Shane isn’t.”

Natalie froze at that, and her body began to tremble.

Sally gulped and said in disbelief, “I don’t think something will happen to a strong person like Mr.
Shane. Maybe we’re overthinking things and nothing bad happened to anyone.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Silas was seen coming up to them.

Silas had on a serious expression and his eyes reddened as if he had just cried.

“What’s wrong, Silas?” Sally asked while holding his arm. “Did something happen to your family?”

Silas shook his head. “Not mine, but…”

He looked over at Natalie.
