Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze

Chapter 503 The Disc Content

Baron offered no explanation, simply instructing Alpha to set the item down. Alpha complied and then withdrew. Looking at the familiar disc, Yvonne quietly said, "Can we watch it now?" "Yes, let’s go to the screening room." The disc must have been made over twenty years ago. Computers from that era were quite antiquated, and there was no guarantee that the disc could be played now. Fortunately, Baron’s screening room contained a number of antique devices. Yvonne quickly nodded, picked up the disc, and headed straight to the screening room. Ruby was quite tired, but the thought that this disc was left behind by Xenon, and likely related to the mix-up of Natalie twenty years ago, compelled her to rally her spirits and go to the screening room with Flynn’s support. Baron was the last to walk in with Natalie. He said quietly, "No matter what is on that disc, don’t get too emotional. We couldn't do anything about the past, but for the future, you have me. Don’t worry, I won’t let you fall into danger again." "I know. With you, I’m not afraid." Natalie gave Baron a small smile. That brilliant, trusting smile instantly dazzled Baron, and he felt his heart flutter. Baron tightly clasped Natalie’s hand, lacing their fingers together. The two entered the screening room and closed the door. Yvonne was already fiddling with the equipment, but being an older generation of computer, she was somewhat unfamiliar with it. "Let me."Baron walked over, took the disc, turned on the computer, and inserted the disc. The beginning of the disc was just static, with no image or sound coming through. Yvonne’s expression turned grim. "Did this disc get damaged after all these years?" If that was the case, wouldn’t the truth about what her parents did be left open to interpretation by others? Thinking of this, Yvonne suddenly became anxious. "Maybe we should go to the hospital and ask Aiden. Perhaps my parents left something else behind." "Yvonne, calm down." Baron looked at Yvonne’s reddened eyes and knew what she was thinking. Bearing the identity of the family’s sinning child in front of Natalie and Waylon's family certainly put Yvonne under immense pressure. "I…" Yvonne started to say something, but then she saw the cool calmness in Baron’s eyes. All her surging emotions immediately settled. She was being too impatient. Just then, bright images and colors suddenly appeared on the screening room screen. "There’s a picture! Yvonne, sit down and watch." Ruby understood Yvonne’s anxiety. Now that the picture had finally appeared, she insisted Yvonne sit down. Yvonne was calm now.No matter what was on the disc, it was left by her parents. It would be best if it contained the truth from back then, but if not, she wouldn’t force it. After all, she couldn't change anything. Having reconciled herself to this, Yvonne sat beside Ruby. Natalie sat on Ruby’s other side, while Flynn and Baron stood to watch. The screen initially showed Xenon looking exceptionally happy after learning his wife had given birth to a daughter. His wife held the baby, and the family of three smiled blissfully. Yvonne’s eyes welled up again. These were her father and mother! The parents she had never met! So they looked this handsome, and her mother looked this gentle! This was the first time Yvonne had seen her biological parents, and she never expected to see them under such circumstances. Her eyes were full of tears, stinging fiercely. Natalie handed her a tissue. Yvonne nodded to her, took the tissue, and watched the screen without blinking, afraid of missing anything. Xenon was shown making a small gold lock for Yvonne, which he placed around the child’s neck. His wife was also smiling with great contentment. Just then, the sound of a car engine and footsteps suddenly came from outside. Xenon paused slightly and instinctively told his wife to take the child inside first.Before his wife could react, the door to the room was kicked open. A crowd of men in black poured into the room. The person who entered last was wearing a mask, making his face indiscernible. Xenon and his wife were stunned by the sight. "Who are you people? What are you doing in our home?" Xenon shielded his wife and child behind him, but he was merely a gentle scholar. Faced with the masked man’s aggression, even though he was unwilling, someone came forward and snatched the baby from his wife’s arms.
