Nathan's deep gaze darkened. "You seem to understand me quite well."
Lucas's response was a cold sneer. "After all, I've followed you for so many years. I know your ways.
"Given that, how dare you do such actions behind my back?" Nathan's voice remained composed but hinted at an underlying threat.
Lucas defiantly raised his chin, his expression fierce. "Fortune favors the bold. Without risks, where's the reward?"
Nathan stood up slowly, his voice as gentle as a breeze. "I fear you may have riches but lack the life to enjoy them."
With that, he turned and settled onto the couch. Although his gaze was seemingly devoid of emotion, it betrayed a sense of discomfort.
Beneath the fa?ade, Nathan felt a pang of unease. After years of camaraderie with Lucas, to. witness it come to this now was not his desire.
The soldiers of the military camp escorted the prisoners into vehicles while the recovered bombs were loaded into anti-riot trucks.
Soon, the rain ceased, and dawn broke.
After a day of rescue efforts, Phoebe's condition stabilized.
When Simon arrived at the hospital and saw Mila's despondent expression, he couldn't help but feel heartache.
Phoebe was asleep, so Mila sat with Simon in the hospital corridor for a discussion.
Simon asked, "With these sudden developments disrupting our plans, when do you plan to return?"
Mila's hands clenched tightly together, her mood low. "I don't want to leave. I want to stay in Norvania with my grandparents. I want to find my parents. I don't wish to go back to Sunterland."
"Chubs..." Simon spoke earnestly, "The research institute and the nation won't agree.
Mila smiled bitterly. "Exactly. So, I'd be forced to return to continue my research and live a life filled with regrets and longing."

"The nation will assist in finding your family. You don't have to worry about that."
"And what about him?"
Simon looked puzzled. "Who?"
"The man I love."
Simon responded, "Easy. Take him with you to Sunterland. Although your work is unique, there are still visitation periods for spouses every month."
Mila's teary eyes shifted to Simon, her voice laced with sadness. "Simon, the man I love is.. Nathan."
Simon was taken aback, his silence speaking volumes.
Mila continued, "He leads the Norvanian military. He holds the rank of Defense General in Norvania. His position is unique, and it clashes too much with mine."
As she spoke, Mila teetered on the brink of tears, her hands covering her face. After a deep breath, she suppressed the ache in her heart and confessed, "What pains me the most is that even simple communication between us is forbidden."
Simon lowered his head in disappointment. "When did you realize you loved him?"
Mila put her hands down and exhaled deeply. She pondered for a moment before responding, "I think I've loved him since childhood. We were inseparable as kids, like childhood sweethearts. I saw him as a big brother back then. It was a pure and innocent love. I believed he was the best.
"After I went abroad, we were forced to cut off contact. There was a long period of longing, but with my busy studies had no time to keep in touch with him. Plus, I felt it was pointless to remain in contact with him, so I cut ties completely.
"I realized I was truly in love with him about three years ago after I lost my memory." Mila paused, a smile m playing on her lips. "It was love at first sight. I even thought I must have loved him in my past life. Otherwise, I wouldn't have felt such an intense feeling the first time I saw him." novelbin
Simon hung his head, his words heavy with weight. "Mila, love is insignificant in the face of our nation's affairs."
