Chapter 1242 Pick Up The Phone
If anyone noticed that Natalie was there, Natalie could explain that she only came in to check up on Jacqueline.
Natalie waited at the bedside for a few minutes, yet Jacqueline lay still on the bed. Hence, Natalie was sure that Jacqueline was sleeping soundly. After making sure that no one came into the room, Natalie finally heaved a sigh of relief.
After a while, Natalie crouched and moved the phone closer to Jacqueline’s hand.
Natalie’s initial plan was to grab Jacqueline’s hand and unlock the phone with her fingerprint. Nonetheless, she thought it would be troublesome if Jacqueline suddenly woke up.
In the end, Natalie only used the phone to touch Jacqueline’s finger gently.
Fortunately, Jacqueline seemed relaxed and didn’t clench her fist. Otherwise, Natalie had no choice but to take the risk to grab Jacqueline’s hand.
The phone buzzed as soon as it came into contact with Jacqueline’s left thumb.
Natalie was delighted, for she thought she had successfully unlocked the phone. The next moment, a hint of disappointment flashed across her face because the phone showed that the fingerprint was incorrect.
Soon, Natalie regained her composure and tried Jacqueline’s right thumb.
Most phone users would use their thumbs to unlock their phones. Hence, Natalie made another attempt with Jacqueline’s right thumb without hesitation.
Just as she expected, the phone was successfully unlocked.
Feeling excited, Natalie almost shouted out loud. Fortunately, she regained her rationality and immediately covered her mouth to avoid making any noise and waking Jacqueline up.
After confirming that the phone had been unlocked, Natalie took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then, she quickly stood up and left the room. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
At that moment, Natalie couldn’t wait to contact Shane.
A few seconds later, Natalie walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
Once Natalie closed the door, she couldn’t suppress her excitement anymore and quickly went upstairs.
Natalie arrived on the third floor and took off her shoes. The next moment, she rushed into her room, closed the door, and began to make a phone call.
Since she remembered Shane’s number very well, she dialed the number and waited for him to pick it up.
Please, Shane! You have to answer my call! Please!
At that moment, she was worried that Shane would hang up the phone when he saw the unknown number.
Miles away, Shane was having an online meeting on his cruise ship with the island owners.
Given that the island was privately owned, Shane had to contact the owners before landing on it. Otherwise, he would make enemies with them.
Outside the conference room, Silas was waiting for Shane to come out to report to him.
Suddenly, Shane’s phone in Silas’ pocket started to ring.
Silas couldn’t help but frown once he took out the phone and saw the unknown number.
Well, it might just be a prank call.
After the thought flashed through his mind, Silas wanted to hang up the phone.
However, he accidentally answered the call instead of ending it.
When Silas wanted to say that it was a wrong number, Natalie quickly said, “Shane!”
Silas was stunned upon hearing the voice.
That voice is…
“Mrs. Thompson? Is that you?” Silas immediately held the phone up to his ear and asked nervously.
At that moment, Silas was unsure if it was the real Mrs. Thompson or an impostor.
Nevertheless, he decided to try instead of missing the call.
After all, no one could know in advance if it was indeed Natalie.
“Mr. Campbell, it’s me. Why have you picked up the phone? Where is Shane?” Natalie almost cried in delight when someone answered her call.
She initially expected to hear Shane but was shocked when Silas answered the phone.
“Mr. Thompson is in a meeting to discuss the method of rescuing you. Mrs. Thompson, why do you have a phone?” Silas frowned as he asked.
