Mila delicately withdrew the thick hairpin from her hair, and in an instant, her silky hair tumbled down in a mesmerizing cascade, shimmering like a celestial being, her beauty spellbinding.

Nathan was captivated by her sudden movement. His attention was solely on her allure, oblivious to the presence of the gun.

Seeing his fascination, Mila flicked the hairpin in her hand. "Nate, this is it."

Puzzled, Nathan inspected it. "It appears to be a simple ivory hairpin, with a slightly thicker stem, and it's hollow."

Mila offered a faint smile, crouching to pluck a handful of translucent beads from her shoe.

Placing them in Nathan's palm, she whispered, "Bulletproof steel beads harder than diamonds, crafted by my own hands."

Nathan examined the beads, increasingly impressed by Mila's resourcefulness.

Turning away discreetly, Mila discreetly retrieved a tiny spring from within her bra.

Respecting her privacy, Nathan glanced away as she adjusted her attire.

    Mila found Nathan's response disheartening, her dissatisfaction cast a shadow over her mood. It appeared he was reluctant to admit it. Meanwhile, Nathan remained deep in contemplation. Mila changed the subject, asking, "Nate, if we manage to escape from here, what are your plans?" Taking a seat at the bed's edge, Nathan responded casually, "I aim to dismantle the Dark Shadows Society." "This is Dorzania, not Norvania," Mila reminded, settling in beside him, their shoulders touching. "How do you intend to dismantle such a vile society here?" "By targeting their leaders. With no one to lead, the society will crumble on its own," Nathan explained. "Excellent, count me in." Mila smiled warmly. Nathan glanced at her, his eyes reflecting a hint of confusion. He had no clue about her statement. After their escape, Mila would return to Sunterland. Under Nathan's intense gaze, Mila felt a tinge of shyness and discomfort. She gently took his large hand, placing it on her lap, and

    "Thank goodness you didn't open it," Mila said calmly. "This thing reacts even with oxygen. If you had opened it, this place would have been leveled in an instant." "Sounds rather mystical," Murray commented, his curiosity piqued as he examined the box. 48 bottles of hydronium was a very small object, transparent, resembling liquid jelly. "It must be handled in a specific environment." Mila reminded, "Do you know about the explosion at the border of Norvania? It left behind a massive crater and contaminated the entire province with toxic purple gas." Murray's expression darkened as he looked at Lucas and Oliver. Lucas nodded, confirming the truth of her statement.Mila cast a disdainful glance at Lucas. He was repulsive to her now. She used to perceive him as a decent person and had treated him kindly. Mila discreetly checked Nathan's expression. He seemed composed, showing no discernible change. She wondered if he harbored any inclination to harm Lucas at this moment. A

    Nathan couldn't bear to witness Mila's anguish. He enveloped her in a tight embrace, murmuring soothing words into her ear, "Chubs, gather your strength." Mila clung to Nathan's chest, her sobs heavy with grief. "Nate, that monster took my parents from me." Nathan leaned in close, his voice a gentle whisper in her ear. "Stay strong. You must seek justice for them." Mila nodded through her tears in determination. "Fine." "Are you ready?" Nathan delicately cradled the back of Mila's head, drawing her close to his chest, their closeness puzzling onlookers. Once more, Mila nodded. In a swift motion, Nathan plucked the hairpin from Mila's hair and aimed a shot at Silas, who was lying on the bed. The muffled sound of the gunshot barely registered. Before anyone could comprehend the events unfolding, a crimson dot appeared on the forehead of the elderly man on the bed. Silas froze, his eyes wide open, his body rigid and unresponsive. As Murray grasped the gravity of the situat

    "You really are Mila," Murray repeated, his astonishment palpable. Mila offered a helpless smile. "Silas outwits you by far. You possess bravery but lack strategy, leaving only brutality." Murray's gaze turned fierce, his eyes ablaze with anger. His subordinate returned with an update. "Mr. Manning, the speedboat is prepared."Mila addressed the group, "Don't try to plant any bombs on the boat. Murray will be departing this island with us. We'll release him at Dorzania airport." Upon hearing this, his subordinate dashed out immediately to disarm the explosives. Nathan asked softly, "Chubs, is everything under control?" Not comprehending Dorzanian, Nathan could only await Mila's directives as he was unsure of the situation's progress. "Let's wait a bit longer. He's off to disarm the bomb," Mila said as she patted Murray's body, searching for weapons and confiscating all guns and blades to eliminate any potential threat. "They intended to plant bombs on the speedboat?" Na

    Nathan responded with a soft murmur. Mila's racing heart calmed as she gazed upon the star-studded sky, its ethereal beauty enveloping her in a sense of peace. With flushed cheeks, she shyly asked, "Nate, how much longer do you intend to stay on top of me? The boat seems to be drifting off course." Nathan slowly shifted, propping himself up with his hands. But before he could fully rise, he collapsed back onto Mila. Under the weight of his sturdy chest, Mila struggled to breathe, a sense of unease creeping over her. "Nate, what's wrong? Are you injured?" Mila's hands wrapped around his waist, frantically searching his back. As her fingers brushed against his shoulder blades, she felt moisture. She withdrew her hand and brought it to her nose, detecting the metallic tang of blood. Her heart twisted with anguish, hands trembling as she applied pressure to the wound, her voice choked with tears, "Nate, you've been shot." Nathan whispered weakly into her ear, "Don't worry,

    On the journey away from the island, Mila quietly stayed by Nathan's side.Nathan had been shot. They couldn't sail directly back to Norvania from the sea, so they chose the nearest point to come ashore.Once ashore, Mila found someone nearby and asked them to call for assistance. Then, they rushed Nathan to the hospital.Mila held the unconscious Nathan. She didn't have the courage to check his breathing. Through the ordeal of life and death, her heart grew stronger.There was nothing more painful than her experience of losing Nathan.If it weren't for Oliver, Nathan would have died on the island.She harbored no gratitude toward Oliver. He killed her parents. Thus, there was a deadly feud between them.She would avenge her parents' death one day. She would definitely kill Oliver with her own hands.At the hospital, Mila sat on the chair outside of the emergency treatment room. Her eyelids grew heavier, and she felt exhausted.She was worried about Nathan, who was in the oper

    Mila remained silent as she watched Fenna.Cole looked around and said, "Ms. Hoffis, where's Lucas and the others?"Mila pulled Cole outside the door. She lowered her voice and said, "I don't know the details. We'll have to wait for Nate to wake up before I can tell you, but Lucas betrayed us."Cole was shocked. He shouted in anguish and frustration, "That can't be!"Mila knew they were comrades, as close as brothers. She found it hard to accept such a fact."Nate is injured because of him," Mila said.Cole clenched his fist, seething with anger as his veins bulged. He suppressed the feeling until his eyes reddened. Turning away from Mila, he tilted his head back to take deep breaths, gradually easing the anger and heartache.Mila didn't know how to comfort him. His anger and pain were so intense. Still, Nathan must be suffering a hundred times more than Cole.At the thought of Nathan, Mila left Cole alone and returned to the ward.As she entered, she froze in place.Fenna

    So that was the truth. Fenna noticed Mila looking pale and in a daze. Her tone filled with concern as she asked, "What's wrong?""N-Nothing," Mila replied as she forced a smile, trying to conceal her sadness.Fenna stood up and frowned at her. She asked, "Did you just find out about us being together? Did Nate not tell you?"Mila shook her head with a smile. Tears already welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't hold back any longer. She pretended to remain calm and replied, "It's not his fault. I made it clear that we couldn't stay as friends and to not keep in touch. It's normal for him not to tell me.""Oh, I see," Fenna replied.Mila forced an awkward smile."When are you going back to Sunterland?" Fenna asked.Mila hesitated for a moment. She touched the box in her pocket. Knowing that the hydronium was still there, she replied, "This week.""What do you do in Sunterland? I noticed you always want to leave. Are you really willing to leave behind your grandfather and his

    Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything.

    After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"

    Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

    Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

    "If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

    Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

    Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

    Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

    In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
