Chapter 382

Mila remained silent as she watched Fenna.

Cole looked around and said, “Ms. Hoffis, where’s Lucas and the others?”

Mila pulled Cole outside the door. She lowered her voice and said, “I don’t know the details. We’ll have to wait for Nate to wake up before I can tell you, but Lucas betrayed us.”

Cole was shocked. He shouted in anguish and frustration, “That can’t be!”

Mila knew they were comrades, as close as brothers. She found it hard to accept such a fact.

“Nate is injured because of him,” Mila said.

Cole clenched his fist, seething with anger as his veins bulged. He suppressed the feeling until his eyes reddened. Turning away from Mila, he tilted his head back to take deep breaths, gradually easing the anger and heartache. 1

Mila didn’t know how to comfort him. His anger and pain were so intense.

Still, Nathan must be suffering a hundred times more than Cole.

At the thought of Nathan, Mila left Cole alone and returned to the ward.

As she entered, she froze in place.

Fenna sat beside the bed. She rested her elbows on the bed and tightly held Nathan’s hand against her face. She was emotional as she looked at Nathan with an intense gaze.

Then, Fenna gently kissed the back of Nathan’s hand.

Witnessing such an affectionate scene, Mila didn’t know whether to enter or leave. She also didn’t know whether to tell Fenna to let go of Nathan’s hand or to reassure her not to worry too much.

Unfortunately, she had no authority to make Fenna let go of Nathan’s hand. She could only secretly wallow in her pain.

Mila walked in and stood in front of her. “Ms. Hudson-

Before she could offer any words of comfort, Fenna cut her off, “You can go back. Just leave this to me.” She didn’t even glance at her.

Mila was speechless.

Fenna looked at Mila, who remained silent and motionless. She lifted her head in displeasure and gazed at Mila.

She slowly released Nathan’s hand and asked, “What’s the matter? Is there anything else?”

Mila took a deep breath. She explained, “I want to wait for Nate to wake up.”

“No need. I’ll have Cole notify you when he wakes up,” Fenna replied.

Mila remained silent.

Fenna continued, “You can have Phoebe come pick you up, or you can take a plane back

Mila stayed silent again.

Fenna acted as if she was in charge. After a moment’s thought, she said, “By the way, thank you for fearlessly venturing alone to Nightshade headquarters to rescue Nate. We will always remember your kindness.”

We? When did she and Nathan become one? Was it this month when Mila decided to return to Sunterland and deliberately avoided Nathan?

At that moment, Mila witnessed Fenna’s intimate gestures toward Nathan.

It wasn’t something that regular friends would do. It clearly looked like what partners or family members would do.

Mila’s heart was in turmoil, feeling too uncomfortable to speak. She thought about the timest in the prison on the island when she had physical contact with Nathan. He always deliberately avoided her.

All signs indicated that he seemed to have changed.

Mila couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Hudson, are you and Nate…”

Fenna looked up at Mila, her gaze becoming intense.

After a long pause, Mila gathered the courage to finish her question, “Are you two together?”

Fenna paused for a few seconds before saying seriously, “Yes, we’re together. We’ve been officially together for a month.”

A gut–wrenching feeling surged through Mila’s heart. The pain sent shivers down her spine, leaving her numb.

She wanted to cry, her tears already welling up in her eyes, yet she managed to muster a faint smile.

Her mind went blank. She was unsure of how to react without being rude.

Together for a month?

That was the month after she clearly rejected Nathan and was preparing to return to Sunterland. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Indeed, Nathan didn’t even come to see her during that month.
