Mila reached for the pen gun under her pillow. As she pointed it directly at the person over her body, she suddenly heard Nathan's voice. She quickly withdrew the pen gun.Nathan's voice calmed her immediately. However, she could feel that his body was unusually warm, and his breath burned her skin. She tried to speak, but her voice was muffled by his hand.Having felt something pressing against his waist a few moments earlier, Nathan pulled out Mila's hand, which was hiding under the pillow. The moonlight that streamed into the room cast a glow on the pen gun she held in her hand."Do you think you can protect yourself with that pen alone?" Nathan asked.Mila tried to pull her hand away to hide the weapon. The pen Nathan was referring to was actually a finely crafted weapon Mila had designed three years ago that was both powerful and inconspicuous.She struggled for a moment until Nathan slowly freed her mouth. After taking a deep breath, she exclaimed, "You're the one who's out

Mila thought it would be pointless to tell Phoebe. She decided to phone Cole. She switched on the speakerphone and put her phone on the table. Then, she helped Nathan to wipe the sweat from his forehead with a tissue."Hello." Cole sounded groggy, as if he hadn't quite woken up."Cole, it's me, Suzanne.""I saw the caller ID. Why are you calling at 3:00 am?""Has Nate been sick?""Yes, he's been sick for days. He refuses to go to the doctor, won't take his medicine, and has been working non-stop. Lucas and I tried to convince him, but he wouldn't listen.""He passed out at my place. What should we do?" Mila kneeled next to Nathan and touched his forehead."General Morrison has gone to Hoffis Manor to look for you?" Cole exclaimed."Yes." Mila felt her heart bleed when she saw how exhausted Nathan looked.Cole slapped himself on the thigh. "This is far too impulsive. General Morrison doesn't usually act this way. Why would he be losing it when he's with you?""I'm sorry, Col

"I..." Mila blushed and couldn't say a word.Nathan looked drowsy. It wasn't long before he closed his eyes again, but he lifted his hips and allowed Mila to pull his pants down to his thighs. After a deep breath, she looked up and asked, "Nate, are you awake?"He was still asleep. After a moment's hesitation, Mila pulled his pants off. Then, she quickly wiped his body down with a wet towel. She continued to wipe him down three or four times until his temperature had cooled down completely.About an hour later, Mila fed Nathan some cold medicine by mouth. She had stayed up all night tending to him. When daylight came, she fell asleep on the bed from exhaustion.…A clap of thunder awoke Nathan from his sleep. He struggled to open his eyes and turned his head to the balcony window. Only then did he realize that a thunderstorm was raging outside.The clock on the wall read 10:30 am. After scanning the room, Nathan remembered passing out and realized he was still in Hoffis Manor.

"They had video-called at least a dozen times during the past month. This led my grandparents to believe that I was the fake Sally Hoffis. Back then, Oliver definitely threatened my parents to cooperate with them in exchange for my safety."Mila remained close to Nathan's side. Her voice was soft, and Nathan could smell her faint scent. His body grew unusually warm, and his mind became unsettled. He cleared his throat and murmured, "I'm aware. Hand me that bottle, will you?""Oh." Mila grabbed the bottle from the bedside table and handed it to him. Nathan cocked his head back and took a big gulp. He looked incredibly seductive. Mila couldn't help blinking as she watched his sexy Adam's apple bobbed. Feeling a little thirsty, she pursed her lips.The blanket on Nathan's shoulders slid down again as he wiped his mouth. Mila looked away quickly. Her face was even redder than before."Phoebe confirmed that my parents have death certificates but not cremation certificates. And the

Mila tucked Zach's hand back under the blanket and asked calmly, "Dr. Hoffis, I wonder why you called me here?"Oliver slowly got to his feet and adjusted his glasses. There was a hint of suspicion in his sharp gaze as he stared at her. He walked over to the bedside as if something was on his mind. "I think you should come and visit my very ill father. It's a courtesy you owe as a guest.""I'm sorry to be rude." Mila lowered her head apologetically.At first, she feared that seeing Zach seriously ill would make her lose control and expose herself. But her fears faded once she realized that Zach was faking his illness.Loretta laid down her towel and ran her fingers through Zach's silvery hair. She choked back tears and mumbled, "Zach, please wake up. What will I do when you're gone?"Sally rushed to Loretta's side and held her arm in comfort. "Grandma, don't get too upset. You'll still have me with you even if Grandpa is gone."Loretta held onto Sally's hand with a hopeful look
