Chapter 1206
The moment Mr. Frank saw Nash, he practically saw a savior. "Mr. York! I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. Your son
got caught up in my mess. The kids kept asking to use the bathroom, and we lost them at a rest area." His
enemies, a rival company, believed he was blocking their business, so they took this desperate step.
Nash's eyes turned cold. "Which rest area?"
"It was the Grande Rest Area..." Mr. Frank racked his brain and finally remembered.
Nash turned to his right-hand man, Quincy, and ordered coldly, "Round up those people and bring them back."

enough room for them to hide. They didn't dare poke their heads out.
Eventually, highway patrol officers spotted the truck and stopped it at a toll station. When Orion saw the police,
he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He remembered both his parents’ phone numbers, but he chose to call Nash. He knew his mom was about to

Nash drove as fast as he could to reach Orion. When he saw the bits of hay in Orion's hair, his heart ached.
"No more birthday parties,” Nash said, his voice thick with emotion. "From now on, we'll just have small

Orion took Nash's hand and, with surprising maturity, said, "Dad, | know you and Mom just want the best for me,
and I'm sorry you've been so worried. But I'm not a little kid anymore. There are sthings | need to go
through on my own. I'll grow stronger and learn to protect myself."
And to protect Lily too.
Orion had been the one comforting Lily the entire time. He had promised to keep her safe. Nash noticed the way
Orion glanced at Lily, but he dismissed it as childish innocence.
After verifying everything with the police, Nash took the two children back to Birkham.
