Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze

Chapter 546 The Witch Doctor

Natalie's greatest strength was her willingness to correct her mistakes. Hearing her say this, Baron didn't argue the point further. While they were talking, Beth finished packing. The place was rented. To take care of the child, Baron had specifically instructed Shauna to find a fully furnished unit. Now that they were leaving, there was only a need to pack a few items of clothing. "I’m packed. Can we go now?" "Wait a moment." Natalie wouldn't allow others to disturb Holt. In truth, Holt was completely focused on his drawing and didn't hear any of the outside noise at all. He seemed completely lost in his own world. Natalie quietly got closer and glanced at his drawing. The portrait of a person on the paper was already taking shape, and Natalie felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with it. Her brow furrowed slightly. When Beth saw her expression, she thought Holt had drawn poorly and quickly said, "Ms. Stone, Holt is still young. He’ll definitely draw well in the future, really." "Shh—" Natalie signaled her to be quiet. Holt drew very quickly. He hadn't been professionally trained and was just using his own intuitive style, but Natalie still recognized the person in the drawing. "He's drawing Witch Doctor." As soon as Natalie said this, Baron’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly stepped forward and saw that Holt was, indeed, drawing him in his mask.This damn kid actually recognized me? Baron’s gaze instinctively shifted to Holt. Holt sensed a wave of killing intent, frightening him so much he dropped his brush. He snapped his head up and met Baron’s cold, intense gaze. His face turned inexplicably pale. Is this really the uncle who treated me? Why does he look so terrifying right now? But Holt trusted that his feeling was not wrong. Seeing this, Natalie quickly gave Baron a push. "Why are you being so serious? You scared the child." After speaking, she turned to Holt and said gently, "Holt, don't be afraid. He is my husband, named Baron. You can call him Mr. Baron." Holt nodded. Natalie collected his drawing and handed it to Baron. "Look, this child is talented. He might have only seen Witch Doctor once, yet he managed to draw him perfectly. Although the technique is still immature, this keen perception is the most crucial quality for an artist." Baron looked at his own portrait, wishing he could just tear it to shreds. I can't hide the fact that I'm Witch Doctor from Natalie for much longer. Looks like I need to find time to explain this identity to Natalie. Otherwise, I’m really worried she’ll find out from somewhere else and hold a grudge about how I deliberately made things difficult for her back then because I didn't want to treat Jensen. I'll wait until this whole thing is over. Once Rachel is captured, and we find out who is behind James, the Stone family business should wrap up. Then I’ll take the whole family on a vacation and find the right moment to tell Natalie I’m Witch Doctor. Yes! That's what I'll do! Having decided, Baron quickly said, "Let’s go, let’s head back. Dad and my brother-in-law are probably getting impatient. It’s almost eight o’clock, and we still need to get things in position."Natalie knew the gravity of the matter, nodded, and got up. Beth wanted to hold her son, but Holt refused. He held Beth's little finger, followed behind Natalie and Baron, and walked out of there step by step. To Holt, this place seemed like it was never home, just like the basement James set up for him—just a temporary residence. Seeing her son like this, Beth felt sharp pangs of heartache. Two years ago, her son loved to talk and laugh, and would cuddle in her arms asking for hugs. But now, the child seemed to exude an air of cold indifference that kept everyone at a distance, which made her, as his mother, miserable. Baron and Natalie left the complex first, then led Beth and her son into the car. The car quickly returned to the villa. When Westin saw Baron return, he quickly went up to greet him. "Mr. Baron, I heard there are two operations tonight. Who do I follow?" "You’ll go with my father-in-law and the others. Your job is to ensure their safety. Remember, as long as the police haven't made a move, neither our people nor the Stone family’s men can strike first, understood?" Hearing Baron say this, Westin nodded quickly. Natalie brought Beth and Holt inside, intending to find the butler to arrange a room for them, but just then, Susie woke up.
