Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze
Having said this, Baron decided to tell the whole story. "Firstly, this is a residential area with many people and high density, so even if someone wanted to do anything, they would have to consider the risk of causing a major panic. Secondly, it is close to the suburbs, the environment is better, and the air is very fresh, making it suitable for a child to recover. Thirdly, the specialist lives right here in this community. If the child has any issues, Beth can find the specialist to treat her son at any time." Hearing that Baron had thought of everything and arranged it all so thoroughly, Natalie couldn’t help but feel admiration. She and Baron arrived in Ocean City at roughly the same time, and the Stone family’s crises have been one after another. Baron has been involved every step of the way, yet he was still able to handle Beth and her son’s situation so well. Did he even have time to rest? Natalie felt extremely worried. She realized she was growing more and more concerned about Baron. "Why didn’t you tell me any of this?" Natalie looked at Baron, her eyes slightly red. Since marrying her, this man truly seemed to have taken on the role of the Stone family’s live-in son-in-law. He was personally involved in every single Stone family matter; the donkeys on a production team wouldn't work this hard. For Baron, Natalie’s attention and concern were what he needed most. Seeing the redness in Natalie’s eyes, he quickly said, "I’m fine. It was just a matter of talking and making a few calls. I’m not tired." Beth looked at their loving display and felt a pang of envy. "Ms. Stone and Mr. Baron really have such a good relationship."Natalie’s face immediately flushed. "Not at all, he is the one who accommodates me. I really haven't done anything for him." After saying this, Natalie truly reflected on her actions. When she was with Jensen, she wanted to devote everything she had to him. But why, with Baron, who loved her so much, did she do nothing and take all his kindness for granted? Natalie looked at Baron apologetically. Baron, however, caught her hand and held it in his palm. His palm was very dry and very warm. "For me, having you safely by my side is the greatest happiness of my life." "Oh, please. Don’t flaunt your affection in front of me anymore." Now that Beth was away from the high seas, with her son by her side and his illness treated, her entire state was different. Natalie’s face was quite red. Baron, however, enjoyed hearing Beth speak; it justified the pressure he had put on that specialist by using the Witch Doctor’s identity. Beth felt that if she watched them any longer, she would truly become envious and jealous. She quickly changed the subject. "By the way, Ms. Stone, Mr. Baron, I think I saw James in Ocean City." "Who did you see?" Baron instinctively asked.The name was somewhat unfamiliar to him. Natalie, however, instantly recalled. "The James you’re talking about is the one who cheated you, kidnapped your son, and is potentially the owner of that cruise ship on the high seas?" "Yes, that’s him!" As soon as Beth mentioned the man, her teeth ground with hatred. She had thought he was just a small-time operator and believed her son would be well cared for with him. But she learned from her son that James didn't care about him at all, often beat and scolded him, and completely neglected the child's illness. If she hadn't met Natalie and Baron, Beth didn't know if she would ever have seen her son alive again. She had previously only suspected that James was connected to the mastermind on the ship, but it was only after the cruise ship was raided by Mateo’s men that she saw the owner of the cruise ship was actually James! She had been so foolish! She had broken ties with her parents for this man and risked her life to give birth to his son, even staying to work on the ship for the child’s sake. But James? He took all her devotion for granted while treating their son like that. He was worse than a beast! Beth had previously considered concealing things for James, but now that she had Natalie and Baron's help, she had no desire to hide anything for him anymore. "James was a boyfriend of mine. I broke up with my family for this man and had his son. He said he was going out to do business and would provide the best life for me and my son, and I believed him. I rented a place with my son and waited desperately for him to return, but I didn't expect he would call and tell me to bring my son to a certain location to find him." Beth said bitterly, "I thought my son and I had finally found happiness, but I never imagined he would say he was taking my son out for food and then snatch him away from me. Then, he used my son to force me to work on the high seas cruise ship. I thought he was just greedy and sold me out to pay for my son’s medical treatment, but how could I have known he was the owner of the high seas cruise ship! He's the bastard who forced me to do those terrible things all these years and deliberately withheld treatment for my son’s illness!"
