Wife by Day, Boss by Night

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 planning 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 collar, prompting Natalie to look down and button up, inadvertently

revealing a faint mark hidden beneath.

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

So, the gossip among the actresses was true. Natalie did have a sugar daddy backing her! Such a big Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

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 become renowned globally. King had the knack and the means to bring

many retired experts that other companies couldn’t hire under his command, providing security

services to the elite all over the world.

For this reason, Truth Group was both the safest and the most dangerous place 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 is complicated. 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 always lacked a sense of security. Without someone by her side, she would panic and

fear the worst, possibly even fall ill.
