Daniel felt extremely uneasy. He didn't think she would be able to get this done when someone with more than ten years worth of experience in drug-making couldn't. He only wished she could drag out the time for as long as possible."The impure mixture contains sodium and a substance similar to rubidium," she said in a low voice as she continued her research. "However, rubidium can't come in contact with air or water, or it'll explode. "This is the first time I've encountered such a strange new element. Give me some time. Let me figure this out."No one understood a word she said and looked at her skeptically.Suzanne noticed their doubtful glances, as well as the unfriendly and perverted gazes that were directed at her body. She knew that she needed something to prove herself, or these people would never believe her.She picked up some of the powder and placed it in a bottle. Then, she added a certain substance to the mixture and placed it over a fire. She was swift and skilled w
Muzat forces were evidently formidable. That was why it was difficult to breach. Suzanne didn't dare to let down her guard.All of a sudden, the door to the room was pushed open. Upon hearing the loud noise, she gripped the pistol tightly, and her body stiffened. Her heart rate spiked, and cold sweat ran down her back. She perked her ears and listened as the footsteps drew near. "Suzanne."She heard the sound of a calm and light voice. Her hand on the pistol trembled. She assumed she was hearing things due to her anxiety, and she tried to calm her erratic breathing."Suzanne." Nathan's voice rang out once again. This time, she was certain she wasn't hearing things. She promptly pushed the closet door open and was met with a familiar shadow of a man. The moonlight streamed in through the window, and she could vaguely make out the outlines of his face.All of Nathan's fears and worries dissipated as soon as he saw the woman hiding in the closet. He was extremely relieved.
Suzanne cast several backward glances as she walked. She felt at ease watching the drugs in the warehouse get engulfed by the flames.All of the drug traffickers were headed this way once they noticed the building on fire. The pair passed through the forest and reached the country's border—it was the edge of a bottomless cliff.Under the bright moonlight, the drug traffickers were still engaged in a gunfight a few miles away. There was a blazing drug nest in front of them and a cliff behind. Looking at Nathan in disbelief, she asked, "Did you climb up from here?"Nathan didn't reply. He surveyed his surroundings and brought her behind a huge rock, motioning for her to crouch down. He fished a flare gun from his pocket and handed it to her. "Half an hour from now, a helicopter will come for you. When you see it hovering above you, fire the flare gun. Someone will come for you.""Where are you going?" Suzanne asked, holding onto his hand with worry. He glanced determinedl
The rescue helicopter found Suzanne without a problem and transported her safely back to the Norvanian military.She didn't sleep a wink that night. After waiting anxiously the entire night, there was still no news of Nathan returning. She grew more worried and restless as time passed by. She waited agonizingly while praying for his safe return.When daybreak came, Suzanne sat hugging her knees at the main door. She stared at the wide road ahead with teary eyes, hoping to catch a glimpse of the man.As Cole watched her, he felt like her worry was laced with love. He didn't understand why she was so adamant about getting a divorce. He approached her and said, "You haven't had anything to eat for the entire day, Mrs. Morrison."The woman's gaze was fixated somewhere in the distance. Her eyes were damp. She suppressed the agonizing feeling in her chest and shook her head."I'm not hungry." "You don't need to worry, Mrs. Morrison. The general will be fine."Sniffling, she lifte
Suzanne nodded with a serious expression and committed the doctor's words to memory.After cleaning up and leaving some further instructions, he left the room. Suzanne stood frozen in place while she scanned his injuries, her heart breaking. Her expression looked grim. She hadn't said anything since she entered the room and only looked extremely guilt-ridden.Upon noticing this, Nathan reassured her, "Don't worry, I've gotten injured more than I can keep count. This is child's play." The way he brushed it off only made her heart ache more. His previous injury was a bullet that almost grazed his heart. How could he be so relaxed when one small mishap could cost him his life?This time, he was covered in cuts. She couldn't possibly imagine how much danger he'd been through all these years.He frowned, his heart clenched at the sight of her looking upset. "Why can't you stop your tears? Are you worried about me?" he asked. She immediately turned her back to him and hastily wipe
Suzanne was caught by surprise. "What?"He pointed at the inside of her thigh. By coincidence, she was wearing a long skirt. She pressed her legs together and started blushing nervously. "Have you gone mad?" she exclaimed, embarrassed.Nathan's ears turned red as well. He forced a calm exterior and explained, "I just wanted to know. I didn't mean to offend you."Her face was growing hotter. "Did you sneak a look under my shorts while I was asleep?"The man felt like his entire body was on fire. Both his ears and neck were tinted red as he explained hastily, "I've never done that.""Then how do you know?"They grew up together. When they were kids, she donned a pair of extremely short shorts and showed him herself by pulling them up."Do you really have it?" His expression was serious, and his tone was laced with a hint of nervousness. "Is it on your right thigh?"Suzanne glanced at him puzzledly. "Why do you ask? Have you figured out my true identity?""Your true identity?
The atmosphere in the room immediately became more intimate and awkward. Then, there was a knock on the door.Cole entered the room and frantically asked Suzanne, "What is your blood type, Mrs. Morrison?""A, why?" She replied quizzically."A comrade of mine has lost too much blood and is in need of a transfusion. The hospital just so happened to be short on blood type A. Could I trouble you to donate some?"She stood up without hesitation and walked toward him. "Okay, let's go immediately."The two then left the room. In an instant, Nathan's gaze turned dark, and his expression gradually turned grim. Past events started playing in his head. He dared not imagine what would happen if Suzanne was actually Chubs. The truth would reveal itself soon. He just needed to wait patiently for the DNA test results.Ten minutes later, Suzanne returned. "My body is perfectly healthy and free from illnesses. Why did they only take so little?" she muttered. When she got back to the h
Suzanne helped him sit up before propping up the meal table on the bed. Then, she brought the food over from the other table.This amount of injury was nothing to him, and he certainly didn't need anyone to look after him.As for why he only sat up with her help, he simply enjoyed being cared for by her. Hence, he pretended to be weak. She placed the dishes on the table and asked while getting him soup, "Why is Daniel in Muzat, Nathan? Your parents said he hadn't been home in five years. Is he dealing drugs?"Nathan explained casually, "With my family's wealth, he doesn't need to resort to such illegal trades for money.""It looked to me like he had business with the drug traffickers. Why didn't you go look for him?"He picked up a set of utensils and handed it to her. "You should eat too.""You go ahead." She sat at the foot of the bed and placed the bowl of soup in front of him."Eat with me.""Okay," she replied softly. She took the utensils from him and started eating.
