    Chapter 72


    “You dad can’t know about this, we’re having a secret meetup.” Natalie whispered with a mischievous


    twinkle in her eye, her voice deliberately hushed as if sharing a covert operation.


    “Deal!” Nate thought that Natalie must be nning to surprise him with a special gift, which was why


    she was being so secretive.


    After all, having his mom by his side for his birthday would make him the happiest kid in the world!


    “Pinky


    swear!” He extended his little finger towards Natalie with a grin.


    Laughing, Natalie linked her pinky with his, “Pinky swear. It’s a promise we never break.”


    Arlen, who had been lurking nearby, caught sight of Reid stepping out and immediately ducked behind


    a bush. It dawned on him that the man who lost his paparazzi camera that night was the same


    individual.


    These two seemed like personal bodyguards or something. Was their nosy intervention that night for


    Natalie?


    Before he could piece it all together, he saw Natalie stepping out of the car.


    Rosie pointed at the button on her cor, prompting Natalie to look down and button up, inadvertently


    revealing a faint mark hidden beneath.


    Arlen widened his eyes as he nced back at the car.


    So, the gossip among the actresses was true. Natalie did have a sugar daddy backing her! Such a big


    shot that he couldn’t even stay away from her during filming and had to sneak in for a visit.


    He had thought those rumors were just out of jealousy!


    After sending King several messages and making a few calls with no response except a curt “I’m fine.


    Nina worries too much,” Natalie was getting anxious.


    “Then video call me, let me see you,” she replied the moment she saw his message.


    The more King avoided her calls, the more worried she became.


    The Truth Group, founded by King, was the premier security firm globally. In just over a decade, thanks


    to its vast pool of talent, it had be renowned globally. King had the knack and the means to bring


    many retired experts that otherpanies couldn’t hire under hismand, providing security


    services to the elite all over the world.


    For this reason, Truth Group was both the safest and the most dangerous ce on earth. King. as the


    man behind the scenes, was constantly in danger.


    In the three years Natalie had been with King, there had been two organized attempts on his life, each


    time breathtakingly dangerous.

    She sent another video call request. After a few seconds, it was King’s butler who answered.


    “So it was you who replied to my messages, not King.” Natalie said quietly after a moment of


    pause.


    “The master… he…” the butler sighed, struggling to find the words, “He has suffered a head injury and


    is unconscious, but the consultants say it’s not too serious, surgery should suffice.”


    “Not too serious? Unconscious for days?” Natalie stood up abruptly.


    “The experts mentioned it’s a concussion, and he’s unconscious because of a small hemorrhage near


    the brainstem. The surgery isplicated. They were hoping to manage it with medication, but it’s not


    dissolving quickly…”

    “When’s the surgery?” Natalie interjected before he could finish.


    “Tomorrow morning,” the butler admitted, knowing he couldn’t hide the truth any longer.


    The situation had to be more severe than they were letting on. Now that Nina knew about King’s injury,


    she would be terrified.


    That child had alwayscked a sense of security. Without someone by her side, she would panic and


    fear the worst, possibly even fall ill.
