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
Suzanne stared at the check and felt a mix of emotions. "You don't have to do this, Madam Hoffis. I don't need money.""My granddaughter told me what kind of person you are," she said in disdain. "Besides, Nathan has liked her since they were little. You have no idea how much he loves her."She continued, "Sally was a gifted child. Her grades were excellent, and she was smarter than most. In order to be good enough for her, he studied so hard just to get into the best National Defense School in the country."She once told him that she likes a man who can make rockets and explosives and can protect the country. He is the best version of himself because of my granddaughter."Sally was the one who made him a better man, but you stole my grandson-in-law with your dirty tactics." Loretta grew more and more worked up as she spoke. She clenched her fists, and they trembled slightly as she spoke again, "You ruined a completely good marriage. Do you know how despicable you are?"Suzann
Nathan gradually walked in. Loretta hurriedly picked up the check and stuffed it in her pocket before shooting him a sheepish smile.Upon noticing Suzanne's upset expression, he could roughly guess why Loretta wanted to talk to her in private.Suzanne lowered her head and avoided eye contact."You had Sally make a trip down to the Norvanian Military a few days ago. Did she not return with you today?" Loretta asked."No," he replied."Why didn't you bring her with you?" she asked nervously. "It'll be dangerous if she's there without you."Nathan was silent.Loretta paused before smiling joyfully. "Are you just back to deal with the divorce? You're heading back immediately after, right? You didn't want her tagging along since she'll be exhausted from the trip.""Madam Hoffis…" Nathan's tone was heavy. He was just about to explain before he was cut off again."What a considerate man. You've been great at taking care of others since you were younger," Loretta said with a smile.
Nathan walked into the study. He invited Loretta to sit on the lounge chair and began seriously questioning her."Have you seen Chubs at all during the ten years she was abroad, Madam Hoffis?""No," she replied. "She was extremely occupied with her studies and had no time to return to the country. But we do talk on the phone.""What about video calls?""Those were quite rare.""At what point did you notice that she looked a bit different?"Loretta was puzzled by his questioning. She nervously sat closer to him and asked, "Why are you asking me all this?"He pursed his lips and thought for a moment. "Just answer me truthfully. I want to know more about Chubs."Upon hearing that he was interested in her granddaughter, she was overjoyed and began telling him everything."It was probably three years ago. We hadn't made a video call to her in a year or two. When we finally did, her chubby face was so much thinner. Her grandfather and I were so heartbroken."She continued, "But she
If he revealed her identity before they apprehended Oliver and the imposter, she'd be in even more danger as the sole heir to the Hoffis family.Nathan was curious. What on earth did Chubs work as? What job could possibly require her to discreetly shift nationalities and not contact her family for ten months in a year? She couldn't even return to the country for ten years."Madam Hoffis, what did Chubs use to work as?"She smiled at him. "Aren't you constantly with her? Why don't you just ask her?"Nathan shot her an awkward smile in return. "She wouldn't tell me.""It wasn't just me—not even her uncle or her parents knew what she was doing," she sighed. "The pay was low, and all she did was just work tirelessly. But one thing for certain, she worked for the Sunterland government."Working for the government and being so private about it? The only occupation he could think of was the one Daniel had—an undercover agent. But it didn't quite seem that way, either.After a few s
"What?""Let's divorce."Nathan's expression darkened, and his demeanor turned icy. He slowly approached Suzanne. He got so near that she nervously stepped back."I don't have time for divorce," he said. "I'll only have time if you ask something else."Suzanne scoffed angrily. She scowled and glared at him. "Why didn't I realize you were so untrustworthy earlier? We would have divorced if Lucas hadn't been in danger the last time! It's been just a few days. Why are you changing your mind?"Nathan peered into Suzanne's reddened eyes, suppressing the intense love deep in his heart. He said calmly, "I did change my mind. If you want a divorce, you need to restore your memory swiftly."If you still don't want to be my wife after regaining your memory, we'll divorce. If you still want to be my wife while you have memories, then we…"Then they divorced. Nathan didn't finish this sentence. He paused before murmuring, "Then we'll continue to be husband and wife."She clenched her fists
