Standing on the deserted roadside, Nathan halted, his expression grave as he gazed into the distance, his eyes clouded withmelancholy.
Cole asked in puzzlement, “General Morrison, why not ask her directly?”Nathan replied bitterly, “Ask her what?”“She clearly stated she’s a scientist from Sunterland and has signed a 15-year contract,” Cole explained.
Nathan's smile turned rueful as he turned to Cole, his gaze dimming and his voice heavy with resignation. “Do you understandthe significance of a scientist committing such a long-term contract with the country?”
Cole shook his head.
After a moment's contemplation, Nathan asserted, “What we heard today must remain strictly confidential. Not a word of itshould leave this place.” Chapter
“Understood, General Morrison,” Cole replied, still intrigued by the mysterious depth of Mila’s scientific abilities.Glancing back at the dormitory, Nathan issued an instruction after a brief
pause.
“You and
Lucas stay here to manage the situation. I'll return to Phoenicia.”
“Yes, sir,” Cole responded promptly.
Nathan urged, “Go.”

Mila replied nervously, her words stumbling over one another, “You can drive. | mean, it’s not that | don’t want to give you a lift.It's just...”
Nathan’s voice broke the silence, smooth as the surface of a serene lake. “I’ve been feeling quite tired lately. It wouldn’t be wisefor me to drive.”
Mila’s thoughts churned within her. She hesitated to delve too deeply into any interaction with Nathan for fear of theentanglements it might bring. Yet, despite her reservations, she found solace in his presence, even if it was just sharing a carride.
Phoebe secured the luggage and brought the car to a stop. “Mila, come on.”Mila turned to her. “Phoebe, Nate will be riding with us.”
