Fortunately, Silas was there with his men, and they jumped in to save her. Otherwise, she would have drowned.

Just as she was shuddering at the thought of that narrow escape, Silas came in, head bowed in dejection.

Judging by his look, Natalie could guess what had happened. She held on tightly to her glass of warm water and asked, “He managed to get away?”

Silas nodded and explained, “Yes, he escaped. Our men ran after them but lost sight of them once they drove beyond the park's exit. Unlike back home, they don't have many surveillance cameras around this country due to privacy concerns. As such, we have no chance of finding out where they've driven off to.”

Natalie lowered her head in despondence and apologized, “I'm so sorry. If not for me, you...”

“No, it's not your fault, Madam! Sean is too sly,” Silas consoled.

Natalie let out a big sigh and said, “Thank you for coming to our rescue! If not for you, the kids and I would have been in big trouble. Oh, by the way, didn't you go to the Irushea meeting with Shane? Why are you here?”

“Oh, what happened was that when we arrived in Irushea, we discovered we left an important document here, so Mr. Shane sent me back to get it. When I was at the airport, I saw Sean, so I followed him. After I saw him come into this park, I left to gather some men so we could capture him. I did not expect to find you here,” Silas explained.

Natalie nodded. “So that's why you're here. Thank goodness you came with your men. I dread to think what would have happened if you had not been here today.”

“Yes, I'm thankful too.” Silas was glad he decided to gather his men as well. If he were by himself, he would not have been able to stop Sean and would have to helplessly watch him take Natalie away.
