Hayden choked up, then burst into tears. "Captain! My dear captain, my beautiful captain! You're still alive!
That's wonderful!"
"Captain, you have no idea how Jared has been bullyingthese years!"
"Oh, it's so good you're back, I finally have someone to rely on!" he wailed.
Nathan, standing aside, covered his eyes, unwilling to witness Hayden's disgrace.
Jason, who arrived much later and wasn't familiar with Natalie, still couldn't help but clench his fists at the sight
of Hayden's behavior.
Courtney was the first to run out of patience, grabbing Hayden by the collar and tossing him aside. She then
stood before Natalie, examining her closely. She had seen a photo of Natalie with her own mother, Kahleah, both
in X Bureau uniforms, their hair tied in neat ponytails, standing shoulder to shoulder with the X Bureau flag
waving behind them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie lifted Courtney's chin and smiled, "You must be Courtney. I'm your Aunt Natalie."
Courtney's eyes welled up with tears, feeling the warmth of Natalie's touch on her nose, and she sobbed.
"Aunt Natalie."
Natalie held Courtney's hand, gently caressing her fingers. "I was the one who named you. Your mother would be
so proud to see how beautiful you've become," she said softly.
Kahleah had been Natalie's most reliable deputy. They had survived deadly situations together and were forced
to part ways. Natalie only reappeared when Kahleah was in labor, extracting Courtney from the womb and caring
for her for three days before they hastily parted again.
Courtney wiped her tears and saluted, "Ashbury X Bureau Headquarters Special Squad Third Team, Courtney!"
Natalie's lips curved into a smile, remembering how Kahleah had looked when she first joined the team. "She
looks just like you did back then!"
"Alright, let's catch up more when we get back, and you can report to your captain about the situation," Natalie
said, patting Courtney's shoulder tenderly.
Courtney nodded and began updating Nathan on the situation. "Captain, we've completed the survey. Five
Poisons is missing, and the remains left at the scene are fake!"
Nathan furrowed his brows, glancing inadvertently at Jared.
Jared, who was busy applying medicine to Tina's fingers injured in the chaos, hadn't heard Courtney. The injury
was an accidental scrape against a rock when he pushed Tina down to protect her.
Nathan pursed his lips, "Mr. Farrell, I..."
"We should leave now; no need for farewells," Jared said as he got up, pulling Tina with him. "Oh, and Captain,
we'll take this dead pig with us," he added, nodding towards the unconscious Rachel on the ground.
His words left Nathan speechless, a reminder from Jared that he was now the true captain of the X Bureau
special squad.
Natalie chuckled softly and whispered to Nathan, "The cause of the explosion, the limbs, the escape route."
Nathan nodded in realization, "Yes, thank you, Captain!"
Jared frowned subtly, whispering back to Natalie, "Master, aren't you worrying too much?"
Natalie playfully smacked Jared on the head. "Didn't you also need my hints to figure things out back in the
day?"
Jared had no reply, merely wrapping an arm around Tina's waist and helping Natalie down the mountain.
Behind them, Nathan and others were stunned. That was Jared's head, and how many could claim the courage to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstrike him? Logan: Me!
Grandpa Brookes: And me!
Mr. Pace: To tell you the truth, | dare too!
Nathan: Gentlemen, please be quiet!
After a while, Courtney sighed deeply, "Mr. Farrell was bullied by his master as a child, and now by his wife as an
adult. He can't escape the fate of this family."
Nathan, Hayden, and Jason looked at Courtney with affirmation. Indeed, she had hit the nail on the head!
Down the mountain, Jared escorted Tina and Natalie to the car, not hurrying to join them but arranging for
Rachel instead.
Leaving space for the long-separated mother and daughter, Tina sat in the car, staring at Natalie next to her. For
a moment, it all seemed surreal.
She couldn't believe that her mother, whom she hadn't seen for over a decade, was truly in front of her again.
All the previous resentment, the irritation of being teased, and the feelings of being manipulated vanished.
What remained was an overwhelming longing for her mother.
Natalie opened her arms, her head tilted with a smile, "Tina, let Mom hug you!"
