Betty's gaze softened as she looked at Suzanne, her smile turning affectionate. "Oh dear, you've changed so much. I never imagined my little girl would blossom into such a wonderful lady. You make me proud." Unwilling to bask in Betty's compliments, Suzanne leaned in, resting her hands on the table. "What exactly had I changed?" she asked. Betty folded her hands and leaned closer to Suzanne. "When you were young, you took after your father and weren't particularly pretty. You often talked about getting plastic surgery when you grew up. "But now, you've grown into a natural beauty. Your graceful demeanor, those youthful features, and your round face are simply enchanting." As Betty spoke, Suzanne couldn't help but touch her own cheek, as if seeking confirmation. Betty continued, "And your personality has softened. You used to be aggressive, but now you've become gentle and sweet, with a soft, mellow voice. "No wonder you've captured the leader of the military base. You

The kiss felt like it lasted an eternity, leaving Suzanne's lips and tongue ached from the intensity. She gasped for air as she pushed Nathan away, fearing the kiss might render her breathless. Summoning all her strength, Suzanne pressed against his chest, slowly breaking the kiss. Nathan reluctantly released her. Both of them panted as their foreheads met, their warm exhalations mingling in the heated atmosphere. His voice, deep and magnetic, resonated, "I have to return to the camp tomorrow. Come with me." Suzanne was taken aback, her heart racing with nervousness and uncertainty. Nathan had just returned, yet here he was, speaking of departure again. Nevertheless, she understood his demanding schedule, brimming with responsibilities at the military base and beyond. She knew well he couldn't be tethered to home forever. For a man like Nathan, even a single day off was a rare luxury. Florence had mentioned how Nathan had been making more frequent visits since their marriage,

Suzanne lowered her head with a smile on her face as she replied, "Okay." Nathan let out a sigh of relief. Though he was reluctant to end the call, there was a meeting in progress. "If there's nothing else, I should go," Nathan said. A wave of disappointment swept over Suzanne. "Would he really end the call after just two minutes? How did other long-distance couples manage to talk for hours, or even half a day?" she pondered. But she soon realized that those conversations were reserved for couples deeply in love. There was no such affection between her and Nathan. Even if he had the time, he wouldn't indulge in romantic exchanges with her. "Alright." Suzanne's voice carried a hint of sadness as she murmured softly, "Bye." With the call ended, Suzanne set her phone aside and turned to gaze out the window, a mixture of uncertainty and longing swirling within her. "Would Nathan send someone to pick me up tomorrow?" Suzanne wondered, a glimmer of hope flickering in her heart

Nathan exited the ward, with Oliver trailing closely behind, closing the door as he followed. Observing Nathan's somber demeanor, Oliver questioned coldly, "Nate, deep down, do you still love Sally?" Nathan paused in his tracks, his expression turning icy. "Sally may have made mistakes in her attempts to win you back, but it's all because she loves you too much. The incident at the pool must have been an accident."If you can spare a moment, perhaps you should check on Sally. Her fear of water might have traumatized her," Oliver suggested. Despite Oliver's words, Nathan remained silent, his back to Oliver as he strode away with purposeful steps, leaving no room for further discussion. Watching Nathan's retreating figure, Oliver's eyes flickered with determination. Sally had crossed a line. Despite his multiple warnings to keep her hands off Suzanne, Sally persisted in harming her. Nathan walked out of the hospital and entered the military base's armed vehicle.Cole and Lu

Cole and Lucas rushed to restrain Loretta, preventing her from getting closer to the pool. Sally's desperate struggles in the water were chaotic, far from the movements of a proficient swimmer. "Help me! Nate, I can't swim!" she cried. Hearing the screams, Oliver, who was on the second floor, hurried outside the balcony. Startled by the commotion, he quickly rushed to the scene. Nathan stood silently at the pool's edge, observing Sally's floundering with an unsettling calm. Despite her frantic efforts, she had yet to sink. Loretta's tearful pleas for help from the butler and Oliver echoed through the air.As Oliver rushed down, Lucas restrained him. "Nathan, have you lost your mind? Sally can't swim. You need to get her out of there!" Oliver's voice thundered with rage, the veins on his neck bulging. "Are you trying to kill her?"Equally distraught and furious, Loretta begged, "Nate, please save Sally. She's in trouble. She can't swim!" Nathan remained unmoved, his demean
