When She Rose From The Ashes Novel

HereSelf 517 Summary In this chapter, Natalie learns from Baron that her mother's blood test reveals chronic poisoning that has been ongoing for at least fifteen years. This confirms Natalie's suspicions that Rachel has been secretly poisoning her mother all along, explaining the recurring illnesses she suffered. Baron explains that the poison's components have mutated over time, which is why previous checkups failed to detect it.

Despite the grim diagnosis, Baron assures Natalie that the poisoning is treatable, though recovery will be a long and demanding process requiring strict medical care. Natalie struggles with the emotional weight of the revelation but resolves to face the situation head-on, valuing her mother's life above all else. Baron supports her determination and advises caution, especially since Alpha, a skilled but low-profile protector, is now a target due to Jensen's disappearance.

He instructs Natalie to keep Alpha outside the house and to be wary of outsiders, as Rachel's long-term presence near the family has shown how dangerous hidden enemies can be. Their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of a car at the gate. Baron goes to investigate and recognizes the vehicle and its occupants-his father-in-law and elder brother-in-law. He grants them access without further checks, signaling their trusted status. Waylon, Baron's father-in-law, immediately inquires about the wellbeing of Natalie and her mother.

Baron updates him on their conditions as they enter the house together, underscoring the growing tension and the need for vigilance within the family.

Moments later, Shauna departed, and Baron stepped into the room. The sight of the blood test report clutched in his hand made Natalie rise to her feet immediately, a wave of anxiety washing over her.

"Is there really something wrong with Mom's blood test?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly. Baron's expression was serious as he nodded. "Yes, the report reveals traces of chronic poisoning. It appears the toxins have been present for at least fifteen years. So, your suspicions were right-Rachel has been targeting your mother all along. The recurring illnesses she experienced over the years were likely caused by this deliberate poisoning." He pulled out another report from his folder. "I conducted a more detailed analysis of this blood test.

It shows that the poison's components have mutated over time, which explains why the last checkup didn't detect anything unusual. If not for that mutation, the chronic poisoning might have been caught earlier." Natalie's mind raced. "This isn't your fault. No one would have imagined Rachel could be the biggest threat so close to Mom. But... is there still a chance to heal her? Can Mom's body recover from this?" This question weighed heavily on her heart. The past could not be changed, and anger wouldn't fix anything. What mattered now was finding a way forward. Baron gave a reassuring nod.

"Yes, it's treatable, but the process will be long and demanding. She'll have to follow a strict diet and medical regimen." Natalie exhaled, relief mingling with determination. "As long as there's hope for recovery, that's all I need. Nothing is more precious than having her alive." Baron admired the strength in her voice. "I expected you to be shaken for a while." "I am upset, of course," Natalie admitted quietly. "After all, she's my biological mother and has always cared for me deeply. But dwelling on sorrow won't solve anything. When faced with a problem, you have to confront it head-on.

Isn't that the only way?" Baron caught the questioning look in her eyes and suddenly smiled. "No, whatever my wife says is absolutely right." A faint blush colored Natalie's cheeks at his unexpected compliment. "By the way," she added, "Shauna came earlier and mentioned that Alpha is being targeted because Jensen is missing." Baron frowned thoughtfully. "Alpha's skills make him nearly invisible to ordinary surveillance. His face is unremarkable, and most people don't remember him after meeting. It's strange anyone could catch him on camera.

Did you arrange for him to stay here?" "Yes, Shauna went to bring him," Natalie confirmed. Baron's voice lowered. "To be safe, have Alpha stay outside the house for now. My team will protect him. Since they aren't family, do not let any outsiders inside. We can't be sure who among us might be a hidden enemy." Natalie nodded in agreement. His caution was justified. After all, Rachel had been by Ruby's side for over twenty years, even saving her from death once. Who would have guessed she was secretly poisoning her all along? "I'll follow your advice," Natalie said firmly.

Her greatest strength was her willingness to listen and adapt when presented with sound reasoning. Their conversation was interrupted by the sudden roar of a car engine outside. Baron's eyes narrowed. "I don't know who's here. Stay inside; I'll check it out." Though worried, Natalie didn't try to stop him. Sometimes, a man needed to feel in control. "Be careful," she whispered. "If anything feels off, come back immediately." "I will. Don't worry," Baron replied with a gentle kiss on her forehead before heading out.

Natalie lingered by the floor-to-ceiling window, her heart uneasy as she spotted a sleek black SUV parked near the electronic gate. The vehicle looked familiar, though she couldn't quite place it. When Baron stepped outside, the security guard approached quickly. "Mr. Baron, there's a car at the gate. They don't have the password. Should we ask them to leave?" Baron's mind raced, and then he remembered Flynn. "Open the gate. I'll see who it is." "Yes, Mr. Baron," the guard responded promptly, activating the gate. Baron glanced at the SUV and a faint smile crossed his lips.

"Remember this license plate. From now on, this car can come and go without checks. The passengers are my father-in-law and elder brother-in-law." With a nod to the guard, Baron strode toward the vehicle. "You brought Dad back?" he asked as the window rolled down. Waylon leaned out, concern etched on his face. "Are Natalie and your mother alright?" Baron stepped aside to clear the path. "Mom has gone to rest in her room. Natalie is in the living area. Yvonne's injuries are serious, so she's resting as well." Flynn carefully drove the SUV inside.

Waylon immediately climbed out and walked alongside Baron as they entered the house together. Conclusion The chapter closes on a note of cautious hope, as Natalie confronts the painful truth about her mother's long-term poisoning with a resolute spirit. Despite the betrayal and the weight of years lost to hidden malice, she chooses to focus on healing and protection, embodying strength through acceptance and determination.
