When She Rose From the Ashes (Natalie and Jensen) novel Chapter 518

Chapter 518: Logan’s Sudden Death

As they walked, Waylon turned to Baron and asked, “I heard Flynn mention you ran a blood test. What did it show? How is Mom doing?”

Baron had anticipated this question and quickly relayed the results. Waylon’s expression darkened, his face tightening with worry and frustration. Nearby, Flynn’s anger simmered beneath the surface.

“That Rachel,” Flynn growled, clenching his fists. “I’ll find her and tear her apart, even if I have to search every corner of the earth!”

Waylon didn’t interrupt his son’s outburst. Instead, he simply said, “Let’s head inside first,” and led the way toward the living room.

From the large floor-to-ceiling window, Natalie had already spotted Waylon and Flynn approaching. She hurried outside to greet them, her voice tinged with urgency.

“Dad, you’re back! Do the police have any leads? Did Logan say who ordered him to do this?”

Waylon stopped in his tracks at her question, then shook his head slowly, the weight of the situation sinking in.

“Let’s go inside,” he repeated softly.

Once inside, Waylon guided everyone into the spacious living room and settled onto the sofa. Baron immediately signaled the servants, who promptly brought tea and quietly withdrew, leaving the family alone.

Noticing the grave look on Waylon’s face, Baron couldn’t hold back. “Dad, is something wrong with Logan?”

Waylon glanced at Baron, a flicker of surprise crossing his features before he relaxed, reminded of Baron’s close connection to the family.

“Yes,” Waylon began, his voice heavy. “Shortly after we arrived at the police station, before any questioning could begin, Logan suddenly started foaming at the mouth and convulsing violently. The police rushed him to the nearest hospital, but he died before they reached it. The doctor said it was a sudden drug overdose. They also found that he had a history of drug use spanning over ten years.”

His eyes grew darker with sorrow and frustration. Of all moments, Logan’s sudden death came just as a major case involving the Stone family’s ancestral home was unfolding.

Despite everything, Logan was still related to the Stones, and this tragedy would inevitably cast a shadow over the family.

Waylon thought bitterly, “One bad apple spoils the whole barrel.”

His mind raced, wondering how this would affect Moses, his eldest son’s future.

“No problem,” Baron replied confidently.

Natalie opened her mouth to mention the disc they had found, but Baron cut in quickly. “Dad, we got a disc from Aiden at the ancestral home. It contains some important information. We’ve already watched it. You can go to the screening room to see it yourself. Natalie hasn’t been resting well these past few days, and the kids haven’t seen us in a while. We’re going to spend some time with them. If you have any instructions after watching the disc, just call us.”

Waylon smiled faintly. “Alright, you two go rest. Natalie hasn’t had a proper break since returning from international waters. Your father has been a bit useless.”

Natalie shook her head with a small smile. “Dad, we’re family. No need to say that. My new designs are about to launch soon. If nothing urgent comes up tomorrow, I’ll have to go to the studio.”

“That’s good. Baron, assign someone to follow her. Chris is still recovering and won’t be back anytime soon. I don’t know who the mole is among the Stone family’s people, so I can’t risk Natalie’s safety. Let Baron handle the arrangements.”

“Dad, Natalie is my wife. Don’t worry—I’ll make sure everything is taken care of properly,” Baron assured him.

After speaking, Baron took Natalie back to their room, leaving Waylon to follow Flynn toward the screening room.

There were still many questions lingering in his mind. Now that they had the disc left by Xenon, perhaps some of those mysteries could finally be unraveled.
