Chapter 191
Suzanne lowered her head and grumbled weakly, “It’s fine. | don’t have
work anyway. I'll just treat it as a vacation and head back after a few days.”
“Why don’t you rest for a while more, Mrs. Morrison? We'll be there in about an hour.”
Suddenly reminded of Lucas‘ injuries, she asked anxiously, “Is Lucas alright? Are his injuries severe?”
Cole
mediately turned solemn. “Quite, but his condition is stable now. General Morrison is watching over him in the hospital.”Suzanne didn’t think he would be so loyal. She didn’t expect him to care so
deeply just because a subordinate got hurt.
“How did he get hurt?” she asked curiously.
Cole thought about it for a bit before replying, “A batch of our weapons was stolen while it was being transported to the militarybase. Lucas was in charge of this incident.”
He continued. “He tracked the weapons to drug traffickers in the neighboring country, Muzat, a few days ago. He disguisedhimself as a buyer along with another soldier and went undercover to investigate.
“Unfortunately, their cover was blown, and they were pursued by the drug traffickers. In order to get Lucas to safety, the othersoldier sacrificed himself.” His voice grew heavier, and he almost choked on his words.
Suzanne was angry. “Why not have someone wipe out their drug den? Even if they didn’t take our weapons, drug traffickers alldeserved to die.”
Cole replied, exasperated, “If they committed the crime in Norvania, then we could’ve done that. However, this was in Muzat. Forpolitical reasons, we can’t just take them out unless we can find concrete evidence.”
She understood now. She felt anxious but couldn’t do anything to help.
It was late in the night when they reached the Norvanian Military base. Cole sent her to Nathan's dormitory since they werehusband and wife.
At four in the morning, the dormitories were quiet and deserted. The lights were dim. Other than the two soldiers standing guard,there was only the sound of chirping crickets.
The room door was gently pushed open and shut. The moonlight outside seeped through the window, adding a soft glow to theotherwise pitch—black room. As of heavy, exhausted footsteps gradually approached the huge
bed.
Aman’s muscular body sat on the bed. He propped his forehead up with his hands and slumped over. A wave of sadnesswashed over him-heavy and depressing.
Then, he leaned backward onto the bed and fell on top of a soft body.“Ouch.” A pained whimper escaped the woman's lips.The man abruptly shot up in shock. He turned to look at the woman in the moonlight.
Suzanne was startled awake by a weight on her stomach. She sat up with her hand, clutching her abdomen, and stared at theman in front of her.
The moonlight was dim, but she could somehow make out the features ofhis face.The pair were both stunned.
Why is Nathan back? Wasn't he in Phoenicia with Lucas?
Rubbing her eyes, she felt nervous. She wanted to speak but didn’t know
what to say.

“No.” She pulled on the blanket and explained softly. “I fell asleep in the backseat. Cole didn’t realize and drove all the way here.”
Nathan’s lips curved up into a small smile of relief. “If you’re not in a hurry to head back, why not stay a few days? I'll be quiteoccupied for the time being. | won‘
