The Wrong Woman Chapter 379
"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

After Mila left the hospital, she looked for an ATM. She entered her bank card and password and withdrew some money. With the money, she bought a plane ticket to Norvania.On the plane, she couldn't hold back her tears and cried all the way. When she reached Norvania, her eyes were swollen and red.Phoebe was shocked to see her in such a state. Her first question was, "Mila, is Mr. Morrison dead?"Hearing Phoebe's question made Mila's already grieving heart feel even more distressed. She disregarded all the decorum and hugged Phoebe, crying her eyes out."Mila, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences," Phoebe comforted her with tears in her eyes. On the way back, Mila cried herself to exhaustion and fell asleep in the car. After reaching Hoffis Manor, she showered and went straight to bed.She slept for a solid 15 hours.Zach and Loretta asked Phoebe what had happened. Phoebe said, "Mr. Morrison passed away."The couple was shocked and saddened. T

Fenna smiled as she pulled up a chair and sat by Nathan's bedside. She comforted Nathan with a gentle tone, "Nate, I get it. The person you fell in love with when you were young is like an unforgettable first love. It's definitely the most memorable."Then, by some twist of fate, she became your wife. She's sweet and lovely, delicate and charming. She's also heartrendingly gentle and kind. Which man wouldn't be attracted to her?"But have you ever thought that, no matter how much you love her, the worst thing is that she doesn't love you."Nathan frowned, feeling his heart twisting in pain. He endured it, although it felt like there was a knife lodged in his chest. Even breathing was painful. His voice was hoarse, and his tone was low as he murmured, "Why did she risk going to such a dangerous place to save me?"Fenna gently patted his shoulder. "Maybe she was also captured? Have you asked her?"After a moment of contemplation, she took his phone and said, "I can't stand it an

The next day, the Morrisons went to Sudvilla to visit Nathan. Around noon, Cole drove them back to Morrison Residence.At the entrance, Cole ran into Mila.Mila bumped into Cole after coming out from inside the residence. She hurried over and called, "Cole."Cole stopped in his tracks, frowning at her.She asked worriedly, "How's Nate doing?"Cole replied curtly, "Thanks to Ms. Hoffis, General Morrison is doing fine now."Mila breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart still felt heavy. She was worried and unsure of how to express it.He added, "General Morrison's family all went to Sudvilla early this morning to see him. Now they just got back. So, why were you coming out from inside?"Mila pointed toward the summerhouse and said, "I went to see Dan."Cole sucked in a deep breath. He placed his hands on his hips as his face turned pale.He thought that if he ever ended up falling for a heartless and cruel woman like Mila, he'd rather strangle himself to death.Cole held back

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. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

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
