“Here.” Connor touched his own tummy, giving Natalie a pathetic look. “It feels swollen.”
Natalie poked his forehead with her fingertip and remarked, “You deserve it. See if you dare to take seafood again in the future!”
“It’s Mr. Shane.” Connor pointed at Shane. “He’s the one who let me eat it.”
Shane looked at him with raised eyebrows but in the end, he took the blame. “He’s right. It was me.”
“That’s enough, Mr. Shane. You don’t need to cover up for him. Don’t I know this rascal enough? He made you bring him to eat that.” Natalie pinched Connor’s cheeks.
Connor stuck out his tongue.
At exactly this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Before Natalie could give any instructions, the caretaker had already walked over to open the door.
A man in a white coat came in. Upon seeing Shane, the man broke into a wide and infectious grin as he exclaimed, “Shane, you are really here!”
Shane did not even glance at him; the former was quite obviously showing that he was not enthusiastic about this visitor’s presence.
It was Natalie who reacted in surprise. “Dr. Baker?”
She recognized him as the doll-faced doctor who had bandaged her at Starlight Restaurant.
“Hi, how are you guys doing?” Jackson took his eyes off Shane and addressed the mother and her son.
Smiling, Natalie replied, “How about you, Dr. Baker? Why are you here?”
“I’m here to see him,” Jackson replied, pouting his lips at Shane.
Natalie gave a nod despite feeling puzzled. How does he know that Shane is here?
Jackson seemed to know what she was thinking and explained with a smile, “This is one of the Baker family’s hospitals. A doctor spotted Shane and told me about it.”
“Oh, I see.” Natalie began to understand.
“What do you want from me?” Shane cast a sidelong glance at Jackson.
Jackson’s countenance changed and he looked serious. “You asked me to recommend a brain surgeon, and I think I have the right one for you.”
Shane’s eyes narrowed. “Whom do you recommend?”
“His name is Stanley Quinn!”
It’s him?
