Although she had discussed it with Desmond and she knew what to do, meeting Ava and Owen was not in the least bit pleasant. It was bearable, but that was only because they were in Owen's ward with the nurse hovering around to check on him and give him another IV.
Visiting time was not due for another few hours but she relented when Ava made up a story about Natalie's boss only letting her leave the office now.
Perhaps because she knew them, the nurse knew it was best not to make enemies out of the Sparks family, so she let Natalie stay, as long as she would leave if she was required to.
When the nurse left, Natalie looked like it was finally time for her slaughter. She had hoped she would have the chance to slip away without being blamed for not making an effort.
Owen held a hand out to her and when Natalie placed hers in his, he squeezed it. "I hate that you are caught up between Lucy and us. You are our only child."
