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.
"Where are you going? Let me help you." She was worried that he wasn't strong enough and would collapse.Nathan's voice was cold, and he was prickly. "Bathroom. Are you coming as well?" he snapped.Suzanne's cheeks heated up, and she retracted her hand shyly. She felt awkward and was also taken aback by his strange anger.He didn't seem particularly fond of Daniel. Did they not get along?"You, you go ahead." She lowered her hand and sat back down on the bed. She picked up her spoon and continued eating.Her face was hot, and her heart was beating fast. After the meal, she cleaned up and read on a chair. Nathan worked on business matters on his laptop. The room was quiet. They did their own thing without disturbing the other.Sunlight shined from the window. It felt bright and warm. Suzanne would occasionally sneak glances at Nathan. She couldn't help but swoon over the way he looked when he was immersed in his work.Even if they didn't converse or interact, she felt conte
Suzanne patted her thighs awkwardly and said, "You should get some rest too."She cast a few reluctant glances at the man and turned to leave, closing the door behind her.As she walked along the hallway, her eyes turned red. She tilted her head upwards and started taking deep breaths as she walked. If you loved someone, you'd long for their company more than anyone else's when hurt or upset. Nathan asked her to leave when he needed someone to look after him the most. Had he not made it obvious enough?He didn't need her at all.She walked out of the hospital and was greeted by the sun. However, her heart felt cold and upset. She didn't feel any warmth at all.Cole was walking toward her direction. Upon noticing her, he said hastily, "Mrs. Morrison, your brother is here.""My brother?" she said, surprised. He nodded. "Yes. I brought him to the reception room in the office building. He wants to see you and the general."She tightened her fist and hurried toward the building
Suzanne couldn't stand him any longer and shouted furiously, "Cole, come in."Cole, who was waiting outside, entered the room and asked respectfully, "Yes, Mrs. Morrison?""Throw him out of the Norvanian Military and forbid him from ever entering again," she instructed. "If he stirs up any trouble or tries to force his way in, deal with him according to the law.""Yes, Mrs. Morrison." He walked to Samuel and said, "This way, please."Samuel was unfazed by her words. He walked toward the sofa and sat down lazily. He propped a leg up on his knee and lifted a brow provokingly. "I'm not leaving. Get your general here and tell him his wife's brother is looking for him. Ask him to come see me," he demanded arrogantly.The audacity of this man. Suzanne was actually speechless. Cole was unusually calm. He calmly took out his pistol and disengaged the safety. Upon seeing this, Samuel's face paled, and he stiffened. He then swallowed. "I let you in on behalf of the fact that you're
Suzanne's steps were light as she headed to his hospital room, holding a novel she really liked. "What should I say when I see him later?" she wondered. "Should I talk about the book or his condition? What excuse can I use to stay and keep him company?"While contemplating, she approached the room.The door was ajar. She was still walking at a relatively quick pace before she abruptly halted as she turned to enter the room.She was greeted by the sight of a man and woman embracing each other. She only had a quick glance, but it sent her into a nervous spiral. She stepped back and hid behind the wall. She clutched the book and pressed it tightly against her chest. Her nose stung, and she couldn't stop her eyes from welling up with tears. Suzanne lifted her head to prevent any tears from escaping, but the aching feeling in her heart made her feel like crying.That wasn't an illusion. She clearly saw Sally embracing Nathan.It had only been one morning. How did she find out t
Why wasn't Suzanne here yet? Did she not want to come?A while later, there was a knock on the door. Nathan immediately set his phone down and adjusted his collar. He shifted his posture and sat upright.He had a sweet smile on his lips as he looked anticipatingly toward the person who was about to enter the door.In a split moment, his excitement plummeted down to a dark pit. The one who entered wasn't Suzanne—it was Cole."What do you plan to do by asking Ms. Hoffis to come over, sir?"Nathan's expression was solemn. "The task I assigned to you had yet to be completed after such a long time. How long would I have to wait if I didn't personally get involved?"Now understanding the situation, Cole lowered his head guiltily and apologized, "Sorry, sir."Nathan got up and slowly walked to the door. He stood in the long hallway and glanced at the elevators. His heart gradually sank. The wait slowly turned agonizing.Cole walked to his side and asked in a low voice, "What do
The other was Zach and Suzanne's.Both reports were from the military hospital, so the results were completely accurate.He furrowed his brows and looked through both files. His expression gradually turned solemn, and his eyes darkened.After he finished reading through, his face was green from fury. Veins were popping from his neck, and it felt like he could kill a man.He violently threw the papers on the table, and they made a loud noise. His explosive anger scared Cole to bits.Nathan bent over and lowered his head, propping his forehead on his palms. He closed his eyes and took deep breaths to calm his overflowing anger. The entire room turned icy and cold. "Is there a problem, general?" Cole asked timidly.Nathan felt like he was short of breath. He was upset and furious. He leaned back onto the sofa and stared at the ceiling.Upon seeing his bloodshot and dampened eyes, Cole grew even more afraid. Having worked with him for so many years, he'd never seen the man sup
