    Chapter 198 Shadows Behind the ident


    The driver quickly called Yvonne.


    Within moments, news of the amusement park disaster swept across the inte. Under Baron’s orders, however, every video showing him, Natalic, and the children had already been scrubbed clean.


    Baron went straight to the nearest hospital.


    At the same time, Jensen came across the news online.


    He had only nced at it casually–until a familiar silhouette on the screen froze him in ce.


    “Natalie? She was at the amusement park?”


    His heart lurched. He tossed aside the work in his hands, snatched up his phone, and zoomed in on the blurry footage.


    It wasn’t a clear shot, but that back–he knew it too well.


    Why was Natalie there?


    Was she hurt?


    How was she now?


    Panic wed at his chest.


    “Hansel! Any updates on that amusement park ident?”


    Hansel hurried in, caught off guard by the sudden question.


    …e, crowded, and


    “The amusement park? Oh–yes, a ride copsed earlier. It’s a popr reports say many were injured. Nearby hospitals are handling emergencies. Media outlets are covering it nonstop.”


    “Get the car. I want <i>to </i>see the site myself. And check if Natalie was there. Find out if she’s hurt.”


    Hansel blinked in surprise.


    “Miss Natalie? At an amusement park? Mr. Jensen, maybe you saw wrong.”


    “No mistake. That was her back–I’d recognize it anywhere!”


    He shoved his phone at <b>Hansel</b>, showing him the screenshot.


    <b>Hansel </b>studied it and had to admit, it did look like her.


    “Alright, I’ll verify it right away.”


    He turned to leave, his mind racing. If Natalic truly had been there–and if she was hurt–then Jensen showing his concern might open a door between them again.


    Jensen was thinking the same thing.


    He grabbed his coat and rushed out the door, heading straight for the site.


    Meanwhile, Natalie had taken Baron to a smaller, less conspicuous hospital.


    The doctors ran a full examination. Once they confirmed his internal organs weren’t injured, Natalie and the children finally breathed easier.


    Sean slumped into a chair, guilt etched all over his face.


    “Mommy… I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have gone to buy something.”


    Her heart broke at his words. <fn3ade> Checktest chapters at find?novel</fn3ade>


    “Sean, don’t me yourself. The world is full of idents. We can’t predict them, can’t stop them ahead of time. What matters is facing them bravely and finding a way through. Your daddy rushed to save you because you’re his son. We both love you. There’s no way we’d stand by while you were in danger. And tell me—if it had been Daddy or me hurt today, would you have just stood there?”


    “Of course not!” Sean shook his head fiercely.


    Natalie stroked his hair gently. “Exactly. You wouldn’t have stood by, so how could we? This isn’t your fault. Even if you hadn’t gone to buy something, the ride still would’ve fallen. None of us could have stopped it. Don’t carry this me, alright? If you do ar daddy will only worry more.”


    Sean looked into her warm eyes, and suddenly threw his arms around her, sobbing.


    He had been so scared.


    In that moment, when his father’s blood sttered across his face, his world had copsed. No matter how well he was raised, no matter how carefully he was protected, he loved Baron deeply. And he had been terrified of losing him.


    <b>Now</b><b>, </b>with Natalie’sfort, all the fear poured out.


    Natalie held him close, patting his <b>back </b>softly, letting him cry until he had nothing left <b>inside</b>.


    By then, Susie had calmed down.


    She pulled out her lollipop and pressed it into Sean’s hand.


    “Here. You can have it.”


    She was scared too. If she hadn’t wanted a treat, her brother wouldn’t have gone off to get it, and the ride wouldn’t have nearly crushed him. The guilt sat heavy in her small chest.


    Sean wiped his tears and went with Susie to the side, murmuring to her.


    Watching them, Natalie’s heart warmed. They were so thoughtful, so tender. Baron had raised them well. For a man to manage that alone–she couldn’t help but admire it.


    Soon, Yvonne arrived, rushing in with worry.


    “How’s my brother?”


    “The doctor says it’s nothing serious, just superficial injuries. Take the kids home first. I’ll have the doctor run another exam on Baron before I can rest easy.”
