Ch. 611..620

Chapter 611

Tristan and Michaela gradually fell into a deep sleep.

It was 5:00 am, the sky was still dark, and there was heavy fog.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound reverberating in the sky.

Michaela woke up first, so she shook Tristan to wake him up. "Honey, honey, wake up."

Tristan sat up abruptly. He nervously asked, "What's wrong?"

"Can you hear that sound?"

Tristan listened attentively. He became excited, then quickly lifted up the blanket and walked toward the window. He leaned against the iron bars to look up at the sky.

As dawn broke, he could see several helicopters hovering in the sky. Many people in black military uniforms descended on ropes from the helicopters.

Meanwhile, there were faint sounds of people jumping from the rooftops.

Tristan rushed back to the bed. He carried Elio up with one hand and hugged Michaela with the other. Trembling in agitation, Tristan said, "My love, they're here. There's so many people here." "Who?" Michaela asked as she nestled in his arms. She was nervous and agitated.

"I don't know who they are. There are many helicopters, and lots of people are coming down. They are armed and agile, it seems like they're special forces."

Both of them hugged each other tightly. Remembering Nathan's words, they didn't dare to leave the room.

Soon, gunfire erupts.

Tristan covered Elio's ears in fear.

The gunfire continued incessantly.

There were bullets hitting the iron door, making a very loud noise.

The next moment, the iron door was broken. Holding a handgun, Cole led a group of armed soldiers rushing in.

Nathan calmly sat in the living room with a half-empty glass of water in front of him. He slightly raised his head to look.

Upon seeing him, Cole was excited. "General Morrison," he exclaimed.

"You're here," Nathan calmly replied. He felt that all the efforts over the past month were worth it.

Feeling guilty, Cole apologized, "I'm sorry, General Morrison. I'm late, and I let you suffer."

Nathan looked at him with relief. He responded, "Cole, you're right on time. There's no need to apologize."

"General Morrison, let's go," Cole said.

Nathan pointed at another room. He said, "My father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law are in the room. Be polite and don't scare them." Cole was shocked because he didn't expect him to be here to rescue his wife's family.

Cole led his men to knock on the door. He said politely, "Mr. Hoffis Mrs. Hoffis, I'm Cole, subordinate to General Morrison. I've come to take you home. Please open the door."

The door was immediately opened.

Tristan dressed before taking Michaela and Elio out of the room.

"Nate," Tristan called out as he was touched. He walked over with tears welled up in his eyes. "You haven't lost your memory. You really came to rescue us, really..."

Nathan politely stood up. He took his hand and said, "Dad, let's talk at home. You guys leave first."

"Okay, okay..." Tristan responded with excitement. He then took Michaela and Elio with him before following Cole to leave.

As they walked past Nathan, Michaela noticed the bloodied cloth tied around Nathan's thigh. "Nate, how did you get injured?" she asked, surprised.

Nathan smiled. He replied, "Mom, it's just a small injury. Hurry, leave now. It's dangerous here."

Tristan and Michaela were worried, but they knew that now was not the time to ask questions. They had to cooperate with the operation and not become a burden to Nathan.

They left apprehensively.

Cole instructed several armed subordinates to escort them until they boarded the helicopter and left.

Nathan sat back down and looked up at the surveillance cameras. He smirked as he said, "Hiding behind cameras like a coward, yet stiff wanting to control everything. You're not worthy."

The camera slightly moved, then became unresponsive.

After seeing off the couple, Cole went back into the house. He nervously asked, "General Morrison, what happened to your leg?"

Nathan glanced down at the injured area. He calmly asked, "Cole, what brings you here?"

Chapter 612

Chapter 612

"During these few days, I was back at the military base to handle business affairs. I received a call from a colleague in the satellite surveillance department, saying they located you. "We immediately dispatched troops and helicopters to rescue you, so I followed along," Cole explained.

Nathan nodded calmly. He slowly stood up and rested his hand on Cole's shoulder. "Help me walk."

With Cole's support, he slowly made his way to the door.

Outside, the gunfire ceased.

Cole curiously asked, "General Morrison, why did you keep this mission secret from me?"

"You're my closest subordinate. If you knew my plan, you might not have acted convincingly enough, which would have failed to deceive the enemy."

Cole felt aggrieved. He muttered softly, "So, you deliberately kept it from me, from Madam, and from your family to make the enemy believe you were truly in trouble. "Everyone thought you were missing, so they kept searching, worrying and grieving."

Nathan smiled faintly and responded, "Yes."

Cole asked again, "How did you injure your leg?"

Nathan explained, "I implanted a satellite tracker in my body beforehand. To avoid detection by hospital equipment, it remained inactive."

Cole was shocked. He asked, "So you performed surgery on yourself to activate the satellite tracker?"

Nathan sighed lightly. He responded, "I didn't use anesthesia. It was really painful. I almost bit through the towel."

Imagining the scene, Cole was heartbroken, but he also wanted to laugh.

He said indignantly, "General Morrison, next time, entrust such dangerous and arduous tasks to me. I'm not Lucas, I would never betray you."

"I never doubted you."

"Thank you, General Morrison."

After leaving the building, Nathan boarded the helicopter. He flew to Phoenicia Hospital under the protection of the soldiers.

Cole stayed behind with an elite team to continue the search and complete the mission.

As the helicopter flew over the

uninhabited island and across the vast sea, Nathan gazed at the island that didn't belong to Norvania. He felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

Although Tristan and Michaela had been rescued, the stakes in Oliver's hands were getting higher.

As Donald's son-in-law, capturing him without tarnishing the image and status of Donald was even more challenging than he had imagined.

As the sun rose and the mist dispersed, the gate of Hoffis Manor was pushed open.

Robert rushed inside and said excitedly, "Mr. Hoffis Senior, Ms. Hoffis... Mr. Hoffis and Mrs. Hoffis are back... they're back..."

Mila and Zach had already woken up

and were sitting at the dining table having breakfast. Upon hearing the news, they were stunned. They quickly left the table and walked out.

Holding their child, Tristan and Michaela walked to the entrance. Upon seeing Mila and Zach, both of them were moved to tears.

"Dad, Mom..." Mila called out. She couldn't believe her eyes. It felt like she was dreaming. She was so excited that her whole body was trembling.

She rushed over to hug Michaela, Tristan and Elio. They were all crying.

Zach secretly wiped his tears away He walked over and gently patted Tristan's shoulder. He sobbed, "Finally, you're back. Our family is finally reunited."

Tears welling in his eyes, Tristan raised his head and asked, "Dad, where's Mom?"

At the mention of Loretta, Mila couldn't help but burst into tears. She cried like a kid in Michaela's embrace.

With Elio in Tristan's arms, Zach didn't dare to tell him where Loretta was.

Tristan felt something was wrong. Touching Mila's head, he said, "Wanda, don't cry. Where's your grandma? Wasn't she released? Where is she now?"

Chapter 613

Chapter 613

Mila didn't have the courage to tell Tristan about Vera.

She stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and left her parents' embrace. She changed the subject, "Dad, Mom, how did you get out?" Tristan replied, "It was Nate who saved us. Nathan. Did you know?"

Mila's hands trembled. She suddenly covered her mouth, and she cried again.

How could she not know her own husband?

"Mila, did you marry Nate?" Michaela asked.

Mila nodded tearfully.

Tristan and Michaela were overjoyed. They smiled at each other, then said with teary eyes, "No wonder he called us mom and dad." "Marrying Nate is great! Nate is a good man!" Michaela said with excitement.

Mila still couldn't calm down. She looked outside anxiously. Then, she glanced at the soldier at the door before looking at her parents.

"Where's Nate? Why hasn't he come back?" Mila asked anxiously. She was afraid that only her parents had returned.

"He asked us to take the helicopter back first. He's still on the island," Michaela said.

Mila was puzzled, so she asked, "On the island?"

Tristan continued, "Yes, we've been locked up on a deserted island all these years. But don't worry, Nate is fine. He has many soldiers with him. But he's injured." Looking worried, Tristan sighed.

Upon hearing the news of Nathan's injury, Mila was very worried, and her face gradually turned pale. She quickly called for the maids to take her parents and Elio upstairs to rest.

At this time, Tristan was still searching around for Vera. He questioned the maids, but they didn't answer.

He realized something was wrong. He kept asking till he learned from Zach that Vera had been killed.

He cried like a child in his room.

However, after being imprisoned for so many years, Tristan and Michaela didn't know who was the mastermind behind it.

When Zach said it was Oliver, he

couldn't believe it was true. After all, they had never once seen Oliver

after spending all these years being locked up.

Tristan had always viewed Oliver as his own brother. He just couldn't accept the fact that Oliver had killed his mother.

Nathan was taken to the military hospital for treatment after completing the mission. Since he had implanted a satellite tracker in his thigh, he used a blade to remove it and activate the tracker.

After treating the wound and stitching it up, Nathan was afraid that Mila would worry, so he didn't dare to contact her yet.

However, Daniel was concerned about Nathan's matters. He learned from Cole that he had returned and was in the hospital.

He quickly had his driver take him to the hospital.

Seeing Daniel, Nathan was surprised and touched.

"Daniel, why are you here?" Nathan asked with concern.

Daniel walked to the edge of his bed using a cane. He felt around before bringing a chair to sit down. "I knew you would be fine," he said confidently.

Nathan smiled and responded, "Yeah."

Daniel was blind, so he looked down without focusing. He asked, "Where are you injured?"

"My leg. It's just a minor injury."

"Does Wanda know you're back?"

Speaking of his wife, Nathan felt a surge of longing. He answered, "Her parents are home, so she should know I'm okay. But I haven't told her I'm here yet."

"Do you want to wait until your injury heals to tell her?"

Nathan fell silent for a moment. He hesitated before saying, "That's what I planned."

"You kept her in the dark and made everyone think you were really in trouble. She was seriously ill, and she's probably angry enough now.

"If you continue to keep your injury a secret from her, aren't you afraid you won't be able to enter the house in the future?"

Chapter 614

Chapter 614

After listening to Daniel's reminder, Nathan became worried. Still, he pretended to be calm. He smiled and said, "Haha, knowing Chubs' personality, she might react like that."

"Let her know as soon as possible. If she waits for you to come home and you don't, she'll be even more anxious and worried."

Nathan agreed, "Yeah, I'll call her later."

Daniel gently pursed his lips.

Seeing his serious expression, Nathan said, "Daniel, since you can't see, a phone call would have sufficed. Why did you come all the way here just to visit me? Do you have something to tell me?" Daniel leaned back in his chair, and his expression became even more solemn. He said, "Nate, I do have a request."

"Tell me, Daniel."

"Can we capture Oliver without killing him?"

Nathan was stunned. He was confused, so he asked, "Daniel, what do you mean?"

Daniel answered, "I know he has committed a capital offense, but can you capture him alive first? Let him live for a few days, because I want to ask him to perform brain surgery for me." Nathan was shocked. He said seriously, "Absolutely not. He's an extremely dangerous and malicious man. If you let him perform brain surgery on you, he'll only harm you."

Smiling faintly, Daniel said with confidence, "If you let him perform surgery on you, he'll definitely kill you, but he won't harm me."

"What if he wants to harm you?" Nathan asked.

"Then I'll accept my fate."

Nathan disagreed with Daniel's risky decision.

Although Oliver was a renowned neurosurgeon with profound expertise in the field, he was too dangerous.

Asking him to perform surgery would either result in being killed or come with conditions.

Nathan strongly opposed, "Daniel, this is absolutely unacceptable. Although your life may be inconvenient right now, you can hire someone to take care of you. Your quality of life won't diminish. "Wanting Oliver to perform brain surgery is like handing your life over to him."

Daniel said firmly, "Nate, I've never asked you for anything. My eyes are very important to me. I have to grab this opportunity."

"You're risking your life. This surgery is extremely dangerous, and may not succeed."

"I know."

"Then why? Nathan asked because he couldn't understand. He was so furious that he took a deep breath. He leaned toward him and asked, "Why are you so persistent?

"I don't want to be disabled."

"Daniel, no one will look down on you for being disabled. You don't need to work and you can live a good life for the rest of your life. You have е

money, family, and me. I will never

abandon you."

Daniel was touched. He knew that Nathan genuinely cared about him. Nathan was worried about him, and that was why he opposed it. However, he had already made up his mind.

"I'm not doing it for my career. My family doesn't look down on me, but someone else will."

"Who looks down on you?"

"Sienna!"

Nathan was stunned. "Who?"

Daniel repeated, "Sienna. She'll look down on me for being blind."

Holding his forehead, Nathan was speechless. He felt sad. After a while, he asked curiously, "Did she tell you that?"

"No."

"Does she like you?"

"No."

"If you're not blind, would she be with you?"

"No."

"Then why are you risking your life? Why?"

Daniel said in a serious tone, "Nate, I like her. I want to pursue her as a normal person, without feeling insecure."

Nathan smiled bitterly and let out a resigned sigh. Then, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes before placing his hands on his forehead, feeling it throbbing.

His parents really knew how to raise children. They were all devoted in their own way.

Chapter 615

Chapter 615

Nathan understood Daniel's feelings. If it were him, he would also take the risk for the sake of his beloved.

Daniel only heard a sigh. After a while, he asked again, "Nate, can you help me?"

"I'll do my best," Nathan said, resigned. "But I still hope you'll reconsider. The surgery is very risky, and letting Oliver operate on you is even riskier. If he makes unreasonable demands that we can't meet, he won't perform the surgery."

Daniel replied, "You just need to spare his life. Leave the rest to me."

Nathan replied indifferently, "Okay."

"Thank you, Nate."

Nathan smiled lightly. He said, "We're brothers, you don't have to be so polite."

"I hope you can find him soon. I don't have much time left."

Nathan turned his head to look at him in confusion. He asked, "What do you mean?"

"Sienna has been attending blind dates. If she meets a good man, she'll get married."

Nathan immediately came to a realization. He sat up properly and asked, "Daniel, if Sienna has been going on blind dates, it means she doesn't like you at all. What's the point of doing all this?" Lowering his head, Daniel just smiled bitterly without saying anything.

"You haven't seen what she looks like, yet you're so sure she's the type you like?"

"Am I a man who will judge a book by its cover?" Daniel retorted.

Nathan smiled awkwardly. He continued, "That's not what I meant. I just think that appearance plays a role in relationships."

"Then what do you think about her? Is she pretty?"

"Not as pretty as Chubs," Nathan answered quickly.

Daniel laughed. "You dare to compare. In your eyes, is there any woman in this world more beautiful than Wanda?"

Nathan agreed. He smiled as he stayed silent.

"Sienna or Fenna, who is prettier?" Daniel asked.

Nathan thought it over for a moment. "Between the two of them, I think Sienna is slightly prettier, while Fenna looks more mature."

"Fenna is already beautiful. So, she's prettier than Fenna, right?"

Nathan said, "Probably, I didn't think Fenna was that attractive."

Bringing up Fenna, Daniel asked curiously, "Is Fenna still working under you?"

"No, she was transferred."

"Where was she transferred to?"

"I dont know."

"Fenna is quite capable. Why was she transferred?"

"Even if she's capable, I can't have her by my side, otherwise I won't have a peaceful life."

"Are you two..."

"Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing between us."

"Why then?"

The two of them conversed back and forth, discussing Fenna.

Suddenly, a woman sarcastically said, "Why? Go ahead and continue."

The voice came from the doorway. Soon after, Mila walked in.

Nathan was frozen in place. He looked at her with an intense gaze.

Daniel was also taken aback. He forced a smile as he sensed a different oppressive pressure.

Tears welled up in Mila's eyes. She

hadn't seen Nathan for a month and missed him very much. However,

she never expected to hear her husband discuss other women when she came to see him.

Mila's emotions at this moment

were very complex. She was

touched when he rescued her

parents. She felt happy when he was safe. She was heartbroken when he was injured.

And yet, she also resented him for risking his life and for keeping such

a terrifying secret, causing here luck

much heartache and illness.

Now, she was excited to see him. She had intended to give him a big hug upon meeting, but instead, she heard him talking about Fenna.

She couldn't describe the feeling that she had.

Daniel tactfully stood up. He said, "Wanda is here, so I'll head back first."

Chapter 616

Chapter 616

Mila walked over to help Daniel. "I'll see you off, Daniel."

Nathan felt nervous. He tried to grab her hand, but they were too far apart, and he felt embarrassed to call her name. His hand hung in the air for a moment before putting it down. Daniel allowed Mila to support him as they walked out of the hospital. The driver was waiting for him outside.

"Wanda, you can go back. Nate is waiting for you."

Mila pouted as she murmured, "He doesn't even want to see me. If I hadn't forced Cole to tell me, he would have kept it from me."

"What nonsense is this? How could he not want to see you? He's probably been thinking about you like crazy. He just doesn't want you to see him injured."

Mila pursed her lips as she helped Daniel into the car.

Once he got into the car, he quickly explained, "I was the one who brought up Fenna. Don't blame Nate, and don't be jealous."

The affection between the siblings was strong.

"I understand, Daniel," Mila said before closing the door for him. "Goodbye."

After the car drove away, Mila turned and went back into the hospital.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Nathan standing in the corridor. Gripping the railing, he nervously searched for her.

"Why did you come out?" Mila said as she rushed over.

Hearing her voice, Nathan turned his head and saw Mila. He ignored his injury and walked unsteadily toward her.

Mila was very anxious. She rushed over to hold his hand.

He ended up hugging her tightly as soon as she reached him.

Bending down, he pressed his face against her face and hugged her tightly. His rapid breaths brushed against her skin, filling her with warmth.

His heart pounded as he murmured softly, "Chubs... Chubs..."

Mila had been a little resentful at

first, but when she felt the warmth in his embrace, all she felt was

excitement and happiness. All other emotions gradually disappeared.

Tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes. Now, as long as he came back safely, nothing else mattered.

Mila slowly raised her hand to wrap her arms around his waist. She closed her eyes and pressed her face on Nathan's chest.

She choked, "Nathan, if you ever abandon me and Jasper or risk your life again, I won't forgive you."

Nathan slowly raised his head to take a deep breath. He gently stroked the back of her head and said, "I won't, never again." Mila, now choked with sobs, murmured, "Thank you."

"Hmm?"

"Thanks for saving my parents. Thanks for coming back safely. Thank you."

Nathan smiled. He gently kissed her head before hugging her tighter.

"I'm your husband, so you don't have to thank me."

After calming down, Mila asked again, "Did that scum Oliver die?"

Nathan's expression slightly darkened. He released Mila from his embrace and placed his hand on her shoulder. He said, "Let's talk about it in my ward."

"Okay," Mila agreed. She carefully supported him as he walked into the hospital ward.

After helping him onto the bed, Mila reached out to pull the loose waistband on his pants.

Nathan quickly protected his pants

Frowning, he nervously looked at her

and murmured, "Chubs, we're

in

hospital. You need to keep yourself together!"

Mila instantly blushed. She was embarrassed and shy. "I didn't... I-I just wanted to see the wound on your leg. Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Nathan felt embarrassed because he misunderstood her. He held her hand tightly and pulled her into his embrace.

"It's just a small wound, just a few stitches. There's nothing to see."

Chapter 617

Chapter 617

Mila let Nathan hug her. Feeling excited, she closed her eyes and leaned against him. Enjoying his warmth, his breath, his heartbeat, was truly blissful.

Just as Mila was enjoying his embrace, her chin was gently lifted. Before she could react, he kissed her gently. Then, the innocent kiss turned passionate, and her heart began to beat faster.

She nervously placed her hands on Nathan's chest, struggling a few times as she tried to push him away.

Grabbing her wrists, Nathan locked her hands on her lower back. He kissed him intensely.

"Mmm." Mila shook her head.

Nathan reluctantly released her sweet lips. Furrowing his brows, Nathan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Mila licked her lips, moistened by the kiss. She shyly said, "We're in the hospital. Nurses often walk around, so you shouldn't do this."

Nathan smiled. Looking at her intensely, he slowly approached her. He said with a hoarse and magnetic voice, "We're just kissing, there won't be any problem."

"Who's the one not keeping himself together now?" Mila teased.

Nathan resigned. He quickly kissed her lips, "This is different."

"It's not that different."

Nathan held the back of her head, then looked at her lips intensely. He murmured, "Chubs, I still want to kiss you, just for a moment, okay?"

Mila turned her face away to avoid his lips. "No, it's not convenient here. Let's go home."

Nathan reached out to draw the bed curtain. He asked, "Like this, is this okay?"

Mila shook her head and said, "No."

"One minute."

"No."

"Half a minute."

"No."

"Let me kiss you for two seconds."

"No... I don't want..."

"Chubs..." Nathan said listlessly. He looked aggrieved, making him look pitiful.

Mila secretly smiled. Seeing his unhappy yet desperate look, she didn't want to tease him anymore.

Perhaps, as Daniel said, he missed her like crazy.

Actually, she missed him so much too.

Mila pounced on him and pushed him down on the bed. She leaned over him and kissed him passionately.

Nathan was surprised. Then, he held

her head for a long time u to kiss her. Theate

kiss

Nathan was satisfied.

Breathing heavily, Mila shyly laid on his chest.

As Nathan stroked her long hair, he whispered, "I want to get discharged now."

"Your wound isn't healed yet."

"This wound won't affect anything."

Mila curiously asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave the hospital?"

"I want to go home and sleep with you."

Hearing his answer, Mila clenched her fist and hit his solid chest. She hit him lightly, so it didn't hurt at all.

Nathan suddenly covered his chest, pretending to be in pain. He frowned as he exclaimed, "Ouch!"

Mila panicked. She quickly leaned on his chest to gently caress the area she hit.

Feeling anxious, she apologized, "I'm sorry, did I hurt you? Has your chest been injured before? Let me see, Nate..."

Looking at her anxious and caring

expression, Nathan couldn't help but

hold her waist. Then, he gel bet

kissed her lips.

He laughed as she complained, "I'm going to tell my in-laws about this. Their daughter is bullying me."

Mila was both angry and amused. Glaring at him, she said, "You're becoming more and more of a rascal."

Nathan smiled brightly, being in a good mood. He enjoyed every moment spent with her.

Mila grumbled, "If you complain to

my

, I'll complain to you t

aplain to your siblings. Let's

also

worse off."

Nathan gently tapped Mila's nose. He indulgently smiled, "You're impressive. I can't afford to provoke you."

"Nate, I'm not going home tonight. I'll stay here to accompany you."

Chapter 618

Chapter 618

After glancing at the narrow single bed, Nathan immediately agreed, "Okay. I'll sleep on the bed, you can sleep on my chest."

Mila smiled shyly. She said, "I'll sleep on the extra bed."

"Sleep on me," he said firmly.

"Your leg is injured, I might accidentally pressed on it."

"It's okay, just sleep on me."

"I don't want to."

"You have to sleep with me."

Mila paused before blinking at him. "Then I'll go home to sleep."

Nathan sighed deeply. Leaning closer to Mila, he gently murmured, "Chubs, are you doing this on purpose?"

"Doing what on purpose?"

"You are intentionally making things difficult for me."

Mila smiled, resigned. She caressed his hair and spoke in a soothing tone, "Be good, I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."

Nathan held her waist tightly and pulled her into his arms. He closed his eyes and whispered, "You can't go anywhere, stay here with me."

"I..."

Before Mila could reply, there was a knock on the door.

"Nate."

The voice belonged to Fenna.

Nathan and Mila both froze as their faces instantly turned grim.

Nathan pulled apart the curtain and turned to look at the door.

Wearing a long face, Mila was freed from Nathan's embrace.

Holding a fruit basket and a bouquet of flowers, Fenna walked over with concern. She asked, "Is your injury okay?"

Nathan's face became gloomy. He angrily asked in a low voice, "Who told you?"

Fenna pretended to be puzzled, so she asked, "What?"

Nathan asked again, "Who told you that I'm here?"

Fenna pointed at Mila. She asked, "Why don't you ask her? Who told Wanda?"

Nathan snorted coldly, "Do you want to compete with my wife?"

Fenna's existence completely ruined their good mood. Mila felt uncomfortable as well.

Fenna's attitude remained firm. She

said, "I know that your

et el

hospitalization is a confidential matter. Since you could tell Wanda, why can't you tell me? I'm just worried about your health. I'll leave after visiting you, and I won't affect your rest."

Mila was speechless. She pulled over a chair to sit down. Then she quietly picked up Nathan's mug and slowly drank the warm water.

Nathan picked up his phone from the side and immediately called Cole.

Cole answered the phone. Nathan said in a serious tone, "Did you tell Fenna about my injury and hospitalization?"

Cole quickly explained, "General Morrison, I didn't tell Fenna. I only told Daniel and Mrs. Morrison. No one else knows."

Nathan instructed sternly,

"Investigate everyone who knew

about my hospitalization. Find out whodeaked it to Fenna and fire them immediately."

"Yes, General Morrison."

Fenna panicked. She angrily said, "Nate, do you really have to act like this?"

After he hung up, he looked at her. "How many people did you contact?" he asked.

Fenna was unhappy as she

explained, "I didn't. I just wanted to

care about you and treat you

well.

Why do you have to treat medike I'm

a spy?"

Nathan took a deep breath. Suppressing his anger, he said, "You've already visited me. You can leave now."

Fenna's expression became gloomy. She gritted her teeth and said firmly, "I have something to talk to you in private."

She sounded serious. Then, she fixed her gaze on Mila.

Seeing Fenna's arrival, Mila already felt annoyed. She didn't want to see her, so she stood up and said, "You guys talk, I'll leave first." As Mila was about to leave, Nathan grabbed her wrist.

Mila was stunned. She turned to look at him.

Nathan nervously said, "Chubs, you don't need to go anywhere. There's nothing I need to talk about alone with her."

Mila looked at Fenna.

Fenna's eyes were full of sorrow, with a hint of pleading. Whether it was genuine or fake, she looked really pitiful. Loving someone wasn't wrong.

The mistake was that the man she loved was married.

Chapter 619

Chapter 619

Mila believed Nathan could solve his and Fenna's problems alone. She said casually, "I'll go outside to get some fresh air. You guys can continue chatting." After saying this, she withdrew her hand.

Nathan's expression became gloomy. He commanded in a serious tone, "Wanda, you sit here."

Mila didn't listen to him. Instead, she turned around and left the ward.

Looking at Mila's back, Nathan felt inexplicably irritated. He bent over and placed his hand on his forehead as he let out a frustrated sigh.

He couldn't figure out what Mila was thinking. She was so concerned about Fenna before, but now she was making concessions.

After Mila left the ward, Fenna walked over and sat on the chair by the bed. She asked with concern, "Is your leg seriously injured?"

Wearing a long face, Nathan leaned against the headboard. He pulled the blanket to cover his body. "What do you want to say? Say it quickly, and then leave."

Fenna took a deep breath. She gazed at Nathan intensely before gently saying, "Nate, no matter how you treat me, I don't care. I just want to treat you well, to see you, to work with you, and I'll be content." Nathan asked impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I've been transferred. I'm now the head of logistics for Project 905."

Nathan's face turned pale, and he slowly looked at Fenna. He couldn't help but clench her fists.

Project 905 was in collaboration with the armament department of the military base, the latest project for developing new military aircraft.

In other words, the military needed to cooperate with Project 905 for the new military aircraft that was recently under development. There would be long-term dealings in the future.

Fenna was the head of logistics, so it was inevitable that they would bump into each other often.

The more important thing was that after Mila's maternity leave was over, she was going to join the team developing this new military aircraft as the chief engineer. Nathan sneered, feeling everything was going awry.

She was transferred from the military base, but not much farther, and she even got promoted. She would still frequently interact with the couple in their future work. Nathan didn't want to say anything. He was only thinking about the reason Mila left.

What was she thinking now? Was she unhappy?

Or did she think he hadn't handled his relationship with Fenna well, so she was feeling jealous and sulking?

Fenna continued, "The reason I

wanted to talk to you about this in private is because I didn't want Wanda to know we're still attached. I know we're very close, but I'm afraid she'll blame you."

Nathan felt offended by her words. "Fenna, where did you get the idea that we're still attached? Do you think sacrificing yourself makes you look noble?" he asked angrily. "Are you out of your mind? If you are, go get treatment. Don't come here to cause trouble for me."

Nathan didn't want to be alone with her anymore. He lifted the blanket and got out of the bed from the other side. He walked out unsteadily.

Fenna rushed over to help me. "Nate, where are you going?"

Just as Fenna touched Nathan, he angrily pushed her away. He shouted, "Fuck off. Don't touch me."

Fenna was frightened.

Nathan had already walked out of the door in large strides.

Not far away, Mila heard the commotion, so she quickly got up from her seat and rushed toward Nathan. Supporting his hand, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Nathan pulled her into his embrace. He scolded her in a displeased tone, "Wanda Hoffis, if you push me to another woman like this again, I won't let you off."

Mila's heart skipped a beat. Nathan must be furious for him to call her by her full name.

"What... What did she do to you?"

Fenna watched the scene from the

side. Seeing the couple hugging each other tightly, she felt very uncomfortable. After comforting herself, she slowly turned and walked toward the elevator

Fenna had left, but Nathan was still hugging her tightly.

Mila became more nervous. She asked, "Nate, what did she do to make you so angry?"

Nathan gripped Mila's shoulders before gently pushing her away. He looked intensely at her and said, "Why didn't you listen when I told you not to go?"

Mila explained, "She probably has something important to tell you, so I left to give her the opportunity."

Nathan sighed, "Paranoia is so terrifying. I was molested."

Mila nervously touched his arms. Looking up at him, she angrily asked, "Did Fenna molest you?"

"Mentally, perhaps. Does that count?"

Mila nodded and replied, "Yes."

"So, you've caused serious consequences by leaving me alone just now. Do you realize that?"

"I'm sorry," Mila apologized as she cupped his face. She felt guilty, and her eyes filled with tears.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't know she would be so out of line. What did she say to offend you?"

Nathan explained, "She said we were still attached, and she was afraid you would find out, so she asked you to get out with this excuse."

Mila's expression suddenly changed. She couldn't help but curse, "That bitch, is she out of her mind?"

Nathan couldn't help but chuckle. It was the first time he had seen Mila lose control. She looked adorable even when she was swearing. "You're still laughing?" Mila gritted her teeth as she asked in anger, "Just now, did you slap her to wake her up?"

Nathan felt a bit better. He said, "Hitting a woman is not right, and it's not my style."

Mila angrily remarked, "I shouldn't have left. If I had heard her say that, I would have slapped her to make her realize her place."

Nathan put his arm around her shoulder and walked toward the ward.

"But why would she think you guys are still attached?" Mila asked curiously.

Nathan hesitated for a moment before replying, "She got transferred. She's now the head of logistics of Project 905."

Stopping in her tracks, Mila froze.

Nathan stopped to look at her expression. As he expected, Mila looked extremely unpleasant.

"What's on your mind?" Nathan asked.

Mila smiled bitterly. When she helped him walk toward the bed, she said lightly, "Nothing, I just think Fenna is really out of her mind."

Nathan nodded as he agreed, "Yeah,

she probably has paranoid

personality disorder. Talking tone?

is useless because she lives in her own world.

"She only follows her own thoughts and feelings. She's not being considerate."

Touching his chest, Mila reminded him, "In the future, when you're alone, you have to protect yourself. Be wary of enemies, but also be wary of this woman."

Nathan smiled bitterly.

Lying down on the bed, he was mindful to leave some space for Mila. He held her wrist and refused to let go. "Lie down," he commanded.

Mila shook her head and said, "It's too cramped. You won't be able to rest well."

"If it's too cramped, then lie on top of me," Nathan said gently.

Mila shook her head.

Nathan propped himself up. He lifted her onto the bed with one hand and forcefully held her down.

Mila lay on his arms with half of her body on his chest. Her posture was extremely intimate.

Nathan didn't listen to her advice at all. Tonight, he would definitely sleep together with her. Only then would he feel at ease.

Through the thin fabric, Mila

caressed his solid and warm chest.

Leaning on his chest, she was

content as she closed her eyes and

fell asleep.

Suddenly, Nathan gently asked, "Chubs, will you marry me?"

Mila thought he was talking in his sleep, so she murmured, "I'm already your wife."

"Let's have a wedding."

Mila was slightly taken aback.

Nathan said resolutely, "I want to tell the whole world through the wedding that I am married to Wanda Hoffis."
