When She Rose From the Ashes (Natalie and Jensen) novel Chapter 590

**Chapter 590: A Fated Connection**

As Baron recounted the harrowing tale, a shadow of sorrow settled over his features, deepening the gravity of his words.

“My mother had just welcomed me into the world when Hayes, in a cruel twist of fate, brought his mistress to the hospital with the intent of snatching me away. It was a crushing blow for her, a moment that shattered her spirit. At that time, she was already frail, and Hayes had severed all ties with her family, isolating her completely. His sinister plan was to whisk her away overseas under the guise of needing rest and recovery, but the truth was far darker. He intended to replace her with his mistress, and once my mother was out of the picture, he would ensure her silence—forever. Fortunately, my grandfather intervened, receiving a desperate message from my mother just in the nick of time. She managed to evade the fate Hayes had orchestrated for her, and naturally, my grandfather came to rescue me from that nightmare.”

As Baron concluded this painful segment of his story, Ruby felt a rush of fragmented memories surge through her mind, each piece flickering like a distant star.

“When your mother gave birth to you, was it at Southpoint Hospital?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, yet filled with urgency.

Baron hesitated, his brow furrowing in thought before he responded with a solemn nod.

“Yes, that’s correct. My grandfather always told me I was born at Southpoint Hospital.”

Waylon, who had been quietly observing, sensed that Ruby’s question held deeper significance. He turned to her with a mixture of curiosity and concern.

“My dear, do you have a connection to Baron’s mother?”

All eyes in the room shifted toward Ruby, anticipation hanging thick in the air.

Ruby shook her head, her expression one of contemplation. “I didn’t know her personally. However, over twenty years ago, when I was newly pregnant with Natalie, I found myself at Southpoint Hospital for my registration. I remember standing in the hallway of the maternity ward when I witnessed something horrifying. A man was dragging a woman who had just given birth, and there was blood on the floor—a sight that still haunts me. Accompanying him was another woman, who was mercilessly berating the new mother. Despite the violence happening around her, the mother clung desperately to her baby, refusing to let go, even as she was beaten and helpless. I was consumed with rage and shouted at them, brandishing my phone as I claimed to have called the police. The moment that vile pair heard my voice, they fled. I rushed to call for the nurses and doctors, helping the woman back to her room. Later, she asked if she could borrow my phone to reach her family. I saw the bruises that marred her skin, and as a fellow woman, I couldn’t turn her away.”

A thick silence enveloped the room, the weight of Ruby’s revelation settling heavily upon everyone present. Could it truly be that she was the one who had saved Baron’s mother all those years ago?

Baron’s eyes glistened with unshed tears, emotions swirling within him.
