Chapter 91

Sally paled and a look of bewilderment etched across her face.

When the crowd realized that Suzanne had been wrongly accused and framed, they grew agitated and turned to Sally with fierce gazes.

Sally rushed to Nathan and clutched his arm. She wiped away her tears pitifully. “Nate, please let me explain.”

Nathan angrily shook her off. “Go explain it to Officer Chadwell.”

“I didn’t do it on purpose, Nate.” Sally sobbed.

“Cole, escort her away,” Nathan hissed and turned away coldly.

Suzanne slowly stood up and shot a look of gratitude and longing at Nathan’s retreating figure.

He left as quickly as he came. Suzanne didn’t even get to thank him.

Cole approached Morgan and said firmly, “Officer Chadwell, please have your men apprehend the criminal who falsely accused Madam and leave the base.”

Sally ran up to Cole and pleaded through tears, “Cole, can you tell Nate to give me a chance to explain myself?”

Cole frowned. “Ms. Hoffis, General Morrison had given you the chance to drop the charges. But you threw that away.”

Sally was speechless. “I…”

Morgan looked disgruntled and ordered angrily, “Retreat.”

Almost immediately, all the police officers lowered their weapons and left.

Cole reminded deliberately, “Officer Chadwell! Please remember to

take Ms. Hoffis with you.”

Morgan turned around to glare at Sally. He returned and pulled her away by the arm. “Come with me to the station.”

Sally shot a glare at Suzanne and was reluctantly apprehended by Morgan.

Lucas walked up to Suzanne slowly. He glanced at the time and explained, “Apologies, Mrs. Morrison. General Morrison needs to be at Miston by noon. He’s rushing for the plane right now.”

Suzanne finally understood why Nathan had rushed off. It was her who was delaying his job.

She nodded. “I’m sorry for interrupting your work. Please convey my thanks to General Morrison and apologize on my behalf.”

Lucas was surprised. Why was the couple acting so distant?

“Alright.” Lucas turned around and jogged to catch up with Nathan. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Cole came up to Suzanne after sending the cops away and murmured, “Mrs. Morrison, General Morrison has always been rigid when it comes to keeping time. This is the first time he’s been late to anything. And it’s an important meeting too. But he still did it for you.”

Suzanne felt an overwhelming sense of guilt at this. But more than anything, she was worried that Nathan would be reprimanded for this.

“I’m sorry…” Suzanne mumbled uneasily.

Cole smiled and shook his head. “No need for apologies, Mrs. Morrison. General Morrison will be back tonight.”

With that, he sprinted after Nathan.

The crowd who witnessed the incident all came up to Suzanne to comfort her and gave her their support.

After thanking them, Suzanne returned to her room and locked herself

She had planned to visit the two professors and discuss the Azurium. However, following the unpleasant incident, she had no mood for

academic discussions.

Suzanne waited for Nathan the entire night. She only fell asleep when she was thoroughly exhausted.

In her hazy state, she felt something touching her hand.

She slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by the handsome Nathan. His head was lowered and he was staring at her intently, carefully securing the bandage around her palm.

Suzanne’s heart skipped a beat and she felt incredibly moved. She could feel the electricity coursing through her veins as her fingertips brushed against the man’s warm hand.

It wasn’t a dream. Nathan had indeed returned.

Suzanne felt her heart raced.

“Nathan? You’re back?” Suzanne muttered drowsily. Her soft voice rang in Nathan’s ears.
