Everyone else looked at her expectantly. Cole, Lucas, and the military men stared at her in amazement. It never occurred to them that Suzanne could understand Dorzanian, a language from a small and lesser-known country. Nathan was shocked as well. The surprise in his eyes was apparent despite him appearing calm and unfazed. After recomposing himself for a bit, he asked, "A gram of?" Suzanne took into consideration that he was on a mission, so it wasn't appropriate for her to speak about it just like this. After giving it some thought, she said, "A gram of the rare element you're looking for."An incomprehensible light flashed across Nathan's eyes before he turned to look at the pirate and said, "Let go of her and give me the item. Then, I'll let you go." Suzanne's heart ached upon hearing what he said. He still cared so much about Sally. Despite the turmoil inside her, she translated his words for the pirate. The head of the pirates spoke in Dorzanian after hearing what

Nathan's hands curled into fists inside his pockets. Despite his discomfort, he still casually asked, "Was this before she lost her memories?""She's faking her amnesia," Oliver replied confidently. "She's just pretending that she forgot everything so that she can act like she doesn't know me. All because she still can't get over us breaking up years ago."Suzanne's words flashed across Nathan's mind. He had asked her if she had ever been in love. Suzanne then answered that she had loved someone, but his heart belonged to someone else. They wouldn't have worked out.Was she referring to Oliver?Nathan took a deep breath. It felt like something was crushing his chest, but he couldn't explain the feeling. A moment later, he spoke again, "Her talent does not befit her birth family and experience."Oliver chuckled. "Definitely. She's a league ahead of the others. You can't fit her into a stereotype just because of her family.""True." Nathan looked at Oliver, his gaze sincere. "Wish

Did she just volunteer to feed Nathan with the fork that she had just been using? Suzanne must be going crazy.She snapped back to reality, forcing herself to put on a stiff smile. Awkwardness was written all over her face as she withdrew her hand. "Sorry, but I—"Before she could draw her hand back, Nathan grabbed her wrist and moved the piece of watermelon to his mouth.Suzanne stared dumbly in shock as she watched Nathan’s lips touch her fork. Did this count as an indirect kiss? She had used that fork just now.Her face heated up at that thought. Her heart raced as her body tensed up. She felt uneasy because of this.Nathan, however, was unperturbed as he chewed on the watermelon before swallowing it. "It’s quite sweet. Pity that it was such a tiny piece."Suzanne pressed her lips together and lowered her head. She didn’t dare to look directly at him."I’m sorry, I forgot that I had just been using that fork…" she whispered.Suzanne felt the urge to apologize.Nathan hadn

Suzanne hastily picked up her book again. Her face burned as her gaze flitted around the room. Despite that, she still couldn’t stop herself from stealing glances at Nathan’s body.She hid her face behind her book. For the first time, her voice cracked. "W-why didn’t you put some clothes on first?"Nathan dried his hair with another towel. Once he was done, he walked over to her. "I’d have to take them off again after that. That’s too much trouble," he said with a husky voice.Suzanne understood what he meant, and she was taken aback by this. Her innocent eyes met his dark ones, but she quickly averted her gaze."Why do you have to sleep naked?" she asked, nervous.Surprised, Nathan fell silent. He looked at Suzanne’s clueless, shy expression.Oliver had said that she was faking her amnesia. So was she feigning her lack of knowledge and inexperience as well?As Nathan mulled over his thoughts, Suzanne hastily pointed at the closet. "There are some clean clothes inside that c

"Our plan was simple. We wanted to conduct research on this chemical and develop the greatest bio-weapon in the whole world, gaining global acknowledgment, that's all," Alan said. "But we never imagined that this thing would be worth five billion dollars per bottle, desired by virtually every country. It has turned into our death warrant."He continued, "George lost his life because of this. Similarly, I almost got killed by bandits yesterday. I don't want it anymore; you can take it."While listening to Alan's words, Nathan fell into deep thought. He still couldn't believe that the person known as "Winkler" turned out to be a young girl.Cole, on the other hand, was busy listening and recording Alan's statements. After Alan was done speaking, Cole continued his barrage of questions. "Where is Mila from?""Sunterland.""How old is she?""I'm not sure. But I heard from George that she developed the first batch of hydronium when she was only 19, and the chemical is named after
