    Baron didn’t say much more. He withdrew his gaze with a calm expression and asked hoarsely, “What’s the news. from Ocean City?”


    “Oh-right,” Finn replied. “The story about Jensen and Sharon being legally married is everywhere now. The Luke family will probably start closing in on Sharon soon. Jensen hasn’t issued any statements or left Grand Pavilion- seems like he’s shut himself off from the outside world.”


    That was exactly the oue Baron had ordered his men to orchestrate.


    And it pleased him.


    He brushed his thumb over the cufflink on his wrist, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.


    Got it. For the next couple of days, you’ll handle things at HQ. I need to rest and gather strength-I’m preparing or Natalie’s skin graft surgery.”


    Finn hesitated, but said nothing in the end. He nodded and quietly left the room.


    Baron knew exactly what Finn was worried about. But Natalie’s condition couldn’t wait any longer.


    After freshening up, he returned to Natalie’s side.


    She was still running a low fever.


    Though the burns and infected areas had already been treated, without skin grafts soon, Natalie would be in for unimaginable pain and suffering.


    And for that surgery, the best donor was either herself-or a direct blood rtive.


    Baron sat beside her sleeping form and whispered, barely audible, “Five years ago, I took the most precious part of you. Back then, you gave it up for Jensen without even blinking. Honestly, I never nned on telling you what I did with it. But now… to save you, I have to hurt him. Please don’t hate me when you find out.”


    Natalie’s brows twitched slightly, as if she could hear him. But her eyes remained shut, heavy and unmoving.


    Just then, hurried footsteps echoed from the corridor outside.


    Baron’s eyes darkened. He immediately activated the sterile settings around Natalie before stepping out.


    Shauna was already waiting outside.


    “Mr. Gunn, the boat’s ready. Are you sure you don’t want backup for the ind?”


    “No. She scares easily. If too many of us show up, it’ll just frighten her.”


    He cast a final look toward the sterile room, his gaze filled with longing and worry.

    Yvonne quickly stepped forward. “Mr. Gunn, don’t worry. I’ll guard Ms. Summers with my life.”


    Baron didn’t respond to her. Instead, he turned to Shauna.


    “How long have you worked for me, Shauna?”


    “Almost ten years,” she answered, confused but respectful.

    “Ten years… a long time.” Baron’s eyes turned solemn. “Natalie means more to me than my own life. While I’m gone, can you keep her safe for me?”


    Shauna froze, stunned by the gravity in his voice.


    “Mr. Gunn, I’d walk through fire for you. Of course I will. But this is our turf-what exactly are you worried about?”


    ‘I’m worried someone might resent Natalie. I’m worried someone wille under the guise of protecting me, when really, they want her dead.”


    Shauna stiffened.


    Then she quickly stepped back and bowed. “So long as I’m alive, no one will touch Ms. Summers. They’d have to walk over my corpse first.”


    ‘What if it’s Finn?” Baron asked, his voice low and sharp.


    Shauna’s breath hitched. Her heart thudded. But her reply was unwavering.


    ‘It doesn’t matter who it is.”


    ‘Remember that,” Baron said. “I want you alive. And I want Natalie untouched, safe, and waiting for me when I eturn. As for everyone else-if I’m not here, do whatever you want with them.”


    Without waiting for a response, Baron turned and walked away.


    (vonne stood there, mouth agape, utterly stunned,


    ‘Shauna… what does Mr. Gunn mean?”


    Shauna’s brows furrowed. Her expression was unreadable, but her voice was steady.


    “Whatever he meant, Ms. Summers’ safety is now the top priority. Until Mr. Gunn returns, no one is to go near her. If anything happens,e to me immediately.”


    “Yes, Shauna.”


    A strange heaviness filled the air.


    Yvonne couldn’t help but wonder-was Mr. Gunn saying that Finn couldn’t be trusted?

    Impossible. Wasn’t Finn the one who had dragged Baron out of a pile of corpsesst time?


    Still, Yvonne knew Baron didn’t speak lightly.


    Which made the task of guarding Natalie feel suddenly monumental.

    Meanwhile, Baron left the vi. The path led directly to the sea.


    A yacht waited quietly at the dock, engines humming low.


    He boarded the ship, and without a sound, it set sail-silent and unnoticed by the outside world.


    The yacht drifted through the night, cutting through waves under a shroud of darkness.


    When morning sunlight finally spilled into the cabin, the captain gently knocked on Baron’s door.


    “Mr. Gunn, we’ve arrived.”


    “Mm.”


    Baron cleaned himself up, changed into a crisp white casual outfit, and picked up a carefully prepared gift.


    Then he stepped out onto the deck.


    In the distancey a private ind-one that belonged to Baron alone.


    Secluded, secure, and protected better than any fortress.
