Chapter 125 Bloodlines Chapter 125 Bloodlines : 51 +10 Free Coins Flynn dipped his head gratefully . " Then I'll leave it in your hands , Mr. Gunn . I need to return to my mother's side . " Baron didn't try to stop him . " I'll have someone see you out ." " No , no - that's not necessary . " Flynn was clearly uneasy in this world of Baron's , and hurried toward the exit . Out in the courtyard , Natalie had stepped away from her room . Her sketches had stalled , inspiration slipping through her fingers , so she'd gone out to breathe and reset . The crunch of footsteps on stone made her turn .
Flynn stopped short . Their eyes met . For a heartbeat , his face showed not admiration but shock . The kind of shock that said you shouldn't exist . Natalie frowned . " Why are you looking at me like that ? " Flynn startled , color rushing back into his face . " Forgive me , miss . You just ... you look very much like someone from my family . Someone who's passed away . I didn't mean to stare . " Baron emerged just in time to hear those words . Family ? Flynn and Natalie ? He remembered the donor reports , the uncanny match .

" Natalie , you plan to stare at another man in front of me ? Am I invisible to you ? " She blinked , then laughed under her breath . " You're imagining things . Besides you , who would ever look twice at me ? " " They're blind , then .
" His blunt protectiveness made her shake her head , amused and exasperated all at once . Still , her eyes followed Flynn's shadow . " Why was he here ? He didn't come for money , did he ? " Baron chuckled . " The Stone family ? Hardly . Their fortune is larger than you'd think . Flynn came to ask me to reach Witch Doctor . His mother - Ruby Stone , another donor - developed a clotting disorder ." Natalie's chest tightened . " Because of the donation ? " " It's possible . Or something else entirely . Only Witch Doctor will know for sure . " Natalie studied him sidelong .
" You and Witch Doctor must be close . No one else can ever find him , yet you ... he does everything you ask ." Her words made his pulse hitch . For a moment , he nearly told her the truth - that Witch Doctor was him . But then he remembered the sins of five years ago , the shame she still carried . He tried carefully : " And ... what do you think of Witch Doctor ? " Natalie's lips curved in a cold half - smile . " A weirdo . Brilliant hands , rotten soul . " She turned away .
