Lifting the back of her hand, she wiped her tears away before asking in confusion, “Mr. Shane, why are you here?”
Meanwhile, Joyce turned back to the doors of the emergency ward right after shooting a glance at Shane as she was in no mood to greet anyone.
It came as no surprise since her mind was occupied with thoughts of Stanley right then.
Shane paid Joyce no heed as well. After seeing Natalie’s reddened eyes and the closed doors of the emergency ward, he pursed his lips. “I heard from Jackson that Stanley got into an accident, so I came over to have a look since I happened to be at the hospital too. Are you okay?”
While he was speaking, his eyes were scrutinizing her.
When Jackson informed him about Stanley’s accident, he was told that Natalie was at the crash site too. Therefore, it was hard to rule out whether she was harmed.
Natalie shook her head and waved her hand dismissively. “I’m fine. I was not in the car when it happened.”
“That’s good to hear.” Shane nodded in relief as her words took a load off his mind.
However, he narrowed his eyes the next moment when he noticed that there was blood on her hand. “Did you hurt your hand?”
After taking a look at her palm, Natalie let out a casual laugh. “I must have cut myself when I touched the shattered car window.”
“Silas!” Shane tilted his head and shouted.
“Yes!” Silas responded and left.
A few minutes later, he came back, carrying a bag filled with things like iodine solution, gauze, and bandages, and handed it to Shane.
After taking it, Shane walked over to the row of chairs and sat down. Then he looked at Natalie and tapped on the seat behind him. “Come here!”
Natalie knew he was going to tend to her injuries, so she shook her head and put her injured hand behind her back. “It’s alright, Mr. Shane. It’s just a small cut, nothing serious.”
“Nothing serious?” Shane’s eyes narrowed. In a swift movement, he grabbed her hand and turned it over.
Her palm had become a bloody mess. It was a horrifying sight, and even Silas gasped when he saw it.
