Chapter 1306 Ill Tidings

After all, that was his daughter.

“What about me, Daddy? What about me?” With his hand held by Natalie, Connor raised his head to regard his father.

Shane lowered his head and smiled. “I’ll always protect you too.”

And Anders as well.

Aside from Natalie, his children were the ones who were most near and dear to him in this world.

Hence, he would stake everything in their care and protection.

Delighted at what Shane said, the two children reacted boisterously and filled the entire dining room with the sound of their joyous laughter.

Mrs. Wilson felt comforted just observing by the side.

“All right. That’s enough. Connor, Sharon, stop pestering your father and get started on your food already. Your father hasn’t gotten to eat yet,” Natalie hastened to say in response to the trio’s tomfoolery.

Connor obediently relinquished his hold on Shane’s legs. Sharon, too, allowed Shane to set her down.

After he patted Sharon on the head, Shane put her on her feet. Then, taking each child by the hand on either side, he made his way toward the dining table.

Meanwhile, Jackson was at the hospital. He had just completed an operation and was walking out of the operating theater when a nurse came up to him with his cell phone. “Your phone rang earlier, Dr. Baker. It was a call from someone named Silas.”

With that, the nurse passed the phone along to Jackson who received it gratefully. “Thank you. You should go on ahead and get back to your work.”

The nurse responded with an affirmative nod before turning to depart.

Once he had gathered himself, Jackson’s expression grew solemn.

Why did Silas suddenly call me, and at night, at that? Could it be that something has happened to Jacqueline?

Shane surely would not have gotten Silas to reach out to me if it did not concern Jacqueline, because apart from that, there’s nothing else left to be said between us.

Jacqueline… is dead…

It took Jackson a while to process what Silas had just told him. Jacqueline… Jacqueline is dead!

His body wobbled before his knees buckled beneath him. Jackson kneeled on the floor with his head in his hands, howling in gut-wrenching agony, “Ahhh!”

Evidently, that was not an outcome he was able to come to terms with.

Although he understood that a tragic end was inevitable for Jacqueline and had worked on psyching himself up for the eventuality, he had not expected that day to arrive that soon. It came so abruptly that he had yet to let go of his feelings for her—he was not ready for this.

Quivering all over, Jackson’s tears came in torrents.

Concerned, the nurses close by hurried over to check on him. “What’s the matter, Dr. Baker? Are you all right?”

Jackson did not respond to any of their queries but reached out to grope for the phone on the floor. After he got his trembling hands on it, he put it to his ear and asked in a shaky voice, “Tell me that this isn’t true, Silas. You must be lying to me, am I right? Jacqueline’s not really dead, is she?”
