The Wrong Woman Chapter 77
The night hung quietly beneath the soft moonlight. Outside the hospital, only the rustle of trees broke the silence. Nathan entered the ward with quiet footsteps.As Suzanne's caregiver, Emily was about to greet him. Instead, he signaled her to stay silent with a wave of his hand. Catching the cue, she quietly made her way out of the ward.Suzanne was peacefully sleeping on the hospital bed. Nathan settled into a nearby chair, keeping an eye on her while she slept.Even without a hint of makeup, her face was flawless and lovely. Her features gave her an especially gentle and serene look when she was asleep.Suzanne had a resilient personality and a multitude of talents. Nathan struggled to wrap his head around the idea that someone so gentle and innocent might be putting on a front.He wasn't sure if his powers of observation were failing him or if Suzanne was just exceptionally skilled at hiding her true self.As the night wore on, Nathan stuck around in Suzanne's ward for sev

Emily tenderly stroked Suzanne's back, playing the part of a comforting mother. "Mrs. Morrison, don't be too upset. General Morrison is busy with work. He's been knee-deep in sorting out drill plans; and after what you've been through, the whole military base is on high alert."Everyone's under scrutiny. He can't break away from his duties during the day, so he's giving up his downtime just to be by your side. Trust me, General Morrison does care about you."Suzanne felt a little better hearing the reassurance. She snuggled into Emily's embrace like a kid seeking comfort. "Do you really think he cares about someone like me?"Emily continued to soothe her with gentle pats. "Mrs. Morrison, even though we've only known each other for a short time, I'm aware that you're a great person. Why doubt yourself?"It seemed like Suzanne had found someone to confide in. She held onto Emily's shoulder and tearfully exclaimed, "Emily, I truly love him. What should I do?"Emily grinned with a t

As Nathan approached Suzanne, she felt his warmth and caught a whiff of his shampoo. Her heart started to race, and she had the urge to pull her hand back.Nathan held onto her hand, unwrapping the bandage to take a look at the wound. The stitches were still in place on her palm, and there was no sign of the wound scabbing over yet. Nathan's expression grew solemn.Suzanne felt a twinge of guilt and thought about pulling her hand back, but Nathan gripped it even tighter. He carefully rewrapped her wound and casually said, "This unscabbed wound needs to stay dry. I can help with bathing and changing the dressing. What do you say?"Her cheeks burned, and she whispered, "I've asked Emily for help.""Just let me know if you need anything. Hold off on going out until we arrest the culprit. Just give me a heads up if you want to go somewhere, I'll arrange for someone to protect you," Nathan advised.A sweet warmth suffused Suzanne as she watched him wrapping the bandage. She wishe

"I hope you and Dr. Lawrence from Norvania can collaborate and resolve this issue to maximize the potential of hydronium," Nathan said.Alan replied earnestly. Though deep down, he wasn't confident about it.…At noon, Lucas walked into the cafeteria with a tray in hand. Unsure about Suzanne's food preferences, he decided to scoop a bit of everything. The tray ended up stacked high with various dishes that could easily feed a person for a couple of days. As Lucas made his way out, he bumped into Nathan and Cole."General Morrison, good afternoon," Lucas greeted.Nathan gave a small nod in acknowledgment.Cole eyed the assortment of food on Lucas' tray and teased, "Hungry today? Do you think you can finish all of that?"Lucas shrugged. "I had no clue about Mrs. Morrison's food preferences, so I just grabbed a bit of everything. I didn't realize there'd be this much variety, and the tray filled up faster than I expected."Cole chuckled. "Judging by Mrs. Morrison's amazing fig

The door creaked open, and Suzanne glanced up from her book. When she spotted Nathan entering with her meal, her face lit up in surprise."Why are you suddenly the one bringing me food?" Suzanne asked as she stood up."I swung by to grab some things and figured I'd bring over the meal in Lucas' stead," Nathan replied calmly.He placed the meal and utensils on the dining table before walking over to the bedside table. He casually opened the drawer, and simply closed it without grabbing anything.Suzanne was a little flustered by the towering heap of food before her. She had no clue where to start.Nathan approached with a grin. "Consider it Lucas' way of showing you some care."Suzanne furrowed her brows and gave Nathan a pleading look. "It's way too much. I can't possibly finish all this by myself."Nathan regarded her seriously as he uttered, "Don't let the food go to waste."Suzanne was stumped by his words. She had expected him to say that.After pausing for a moment, she q

The pleasant meal soon came to an end. Once they were done with lunch, Nathan told Suzanne to take some rest and then headed out with the tray in hand.Outside the dormitory, Cole and Lucas saw Nathan making his way down with the empty tray.Cole leaned over and whispered, "General Morrison took his time with that meal.""Maybe Mrs. Morrison takes her sweet time eating," Lucas said."He seems to be in a good mood."Seeing Nathan approach them, Lucas quipped, "That's about to change."Nathan came to a stop in front of the pair."General Morrison," they both greeted in unison.Nathan's expression grew serious as he walked past them. He handed the tray over and instructed, "Take it and give it a good wash.""Yes, sir."Lucas had the tray in hand, ambling alongside Cole as they trailed behind Nathan."Any luck finding the culprit?" Nathan asked in a serious tone."We've narrowed down the suspects to 12 people. The investigation is still in progress," Cole answered."How's th

It was Lucas. He passed a cup of warm milk to Suzanne and said, "Mrs. Morrison, have some milk and get some sleep. General Morrison might have a busy night, and he's not sure when he'll be back."Suzanne accepted the milk. She felt a little let down as she mumbled, "Thanks.""No problem."She looked downcast as she asked, "How did you know I'm still awake?""Mrs. Morrison, I swear I wasn't stalking you. I was pulling extra hours at the office, and General Morrison told me to bring you the milk. He said you should go to bed soon," Lucas clarified.Suzanne was taken aback. She glanced out of the balcony and asked, "Does Nathan know I've been awake?"Lucas wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, worried about coming across as a stalker.He took a moment to explain, "General Morrison's office is on the top floor of the tallest building a couple of streets away. He's got a clear view of the dorms. The whole building is dark, except for the lights in your room. So naturally, he know

In the wee hours of the morning, the office was still bustling with plenty of activity. Everyone was startled when Suzanne showed up in her pajamas and a cardigan. Nathan wasn't too happy.He headed her way and asked, "Didn't I tell you to get some sleep?""Is the lab in Research Building Five?" Suzanne asked in a hurry.Nathan was confused. "What's happening?"Suzanne looked directly at him and whispered in a sincere tone, "Lucas mentioned that you guys couldn't extract pure Azurium. I want to give it a shot."Nathan glared at Lucas, who looked guilty. Beads of sweat were forming on his forehead and he quickly shrank back.Instead of following Nathan's instructions to get Suzanne to sleep early, Lucas told her about the issues they were dealing with, leaving Suzanne all worked up."You think you can handle it?" Nathan was surprised.Suzanne shook her head, then nodded. She wasn't completely confident. "I know the methods, but I can't guarantee that it'll work. You've been
