Meanwhile, he settled on the bed and adopted a serious tone. ”
Suzanne, in situations where we don’t have solid proof, it’s wise to be cautious and skeptical.”

Maybe she had been sheltered from it. Or it could be that amnesia protected her from the harsh realities of human nature.“| have a hunch you could be a Nightshade spy, but without proof, it’s just a suspicion,” Nathan explained patiently.
“Did the informant you killed lie?” Suzanne asked.
“He wasn’t the one who tried to harm you earlier. I’ve scrutinized the footage extensively. Their body sizes don’t match.
“Also, the vice-captain, who’s usually armed with a gun, wouldn’t resort to a knife for an assassination attempt,” Nathanresponded.
Suzanne was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Nathan to delve so deeply into the matter.
“The vice-captain might be getting framed. If he’s with the Nightshade, he would act quickly to eliminate you,” Nathan explained.“| thought maybe | was the spy,” Suzanne murmured.
“That's still a possibility,” Nathan replied.

“Okay,” Suzanne replied.
Her heart felt empty. She grabbed her pajamas from the walk-in closet before heading to the bathroom.Deep in thought, Nathan lay on the bed and fixed his gaze on the
ceiling.
Maybe seeing Suzanne had eased his mind, or perhaps the fatigue from long workdays had caught up with him. He drifted off tosleep without realizing it.
When Suzanne finished her shower and came out of the bathroom, she found Nathan already asleep. She approached the bedquietly
