Semua Bab The Wrong Woman: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Suzanne knew he was pointing out that Sally was chasing after them.Thinking of the affectionate moments between Nathan and Sally at the military base, along with Nathan's care and concern for Sally, extreme discomfort pierced her heart.Suzanne lowered her head and chose not to say another word.Nathan gazed at her melancholic profile, and his deep eyes became somber while his eyebrows slightly furrowed.A sense of uneasiness lingered within him as he wondered if she was that unwilling to be with him, and whether she was thinking about Oliver.After a brief internal struggle, Nathan couldn't bear seeing her distressed any longer. He asked at last, "Where would you like to get off?"Suzanne bit her lip and a wave of sadness surged in her as she realized that in the end, he was letting her get out of the car."Anywhere is fine," she muttered.In the front passenger seat, Cole hurriedly chimed in, "Madam, we're on the highway; we can't stop the car."Lucas, who was driving atten

Nathan's face was exceptionally gloomy and his eyes were filled with distress. As he tried to catch his breath, his chest heaved unevenly.Suzanne had never witnessed Nathan in such a panicked state and was momentarily stunned.From the time Nathan entered the ward, he didn't utter a word.Suzanne cleared her throat and spoke softly, "I have to thank Mr. Vega for his timely rescue. I'm fine now."Nathan remained silent, his rapid breathing showing no signs of calming down.Suzanne felt extremely intimidated by his behavior. The gradually enveloping hostility that radiated from him sent shivers down her spine.She proceeded to raise her injured hands and explained patiently, "The assailant tried to stab my chest with a dagger. I had no choice but to use my hands to stop it, and the dagger veered off. The doctor said it's just a flesh wound; it will heal soon."Looking at Suzanne's hands that were wrapped in bandages, Nathan slowly clenched his fists. The chilling sound of his knu

Nathan's face darkened as he seethed with anger. "Revealing other people's past scandals, digging into their weaknesses, and mocking them to their face—Is that how you should behave?""But I was just speculating that her attempted murder might be connected to her past relationships."Furious, Nathan berated her in an icy tone. "You could've just said so instead of giving a lengthy dissertation no one asked for."Sally pouted. "Nate, I know I was wrong. I didn't mean it. I spoke without thinking. Please don't be angry."Bullshit. It was clear she intentionally said all that to personally attack Suzanne.Nathan grabbed her arm, continuing to walk out of the field hospital while instructing, "I'll have someone escort you home. Don't come back again."Sally struggled to pull her hand away, saying, "Nate, I'm not leaving. I just got here, and I want to stay with you.""I don't need your company.""Nate, let go of me. I'm not leaving!" Sally was rudely dragged away; her struggle wa

Emily tenderly stroked Suzanne's back, playing the part of a comforting mother. "Mrs. Morrison, don't be too upset. General Morrison is busy with work. He's been knee-deep in sorting out drill plans; and after what you've been through, the whole military base is on high alert."Everyone's under scrutiny. He can't break away from his duties during the day, so he's giving up his downtime just to be by your side. Trust me, General Morrison does care about you."Suzanne felt a little better hearing the reassurance. She snuggled into Emily's embrace like a kid seeking comfort. "Do you really think he cares about someone like me?"Emily continued to soothe her with gentle pats. "Mrs. Morrison, even though we've only known each other for a short time, I'm aware that you're a great person. Why doubt yourself?"It seemed like Suzanne had found someone to confide in. She held onto Emily's shoulder and tearfully exclaimed, "Emily, I truly love him. What should I do?"Emily grinned with a t

"I hope you and Dr. Lawrence from Norvania can collaborate and resolve this issue to maximize the potential of hydronium," Nathan said.Alan replied earnestly. Though deep down, he wasn't confident about it.…At noon, Lucas walked into the cafeteria with a tray in hand. Unsure about Suzanne's food preferences, he decided to scoop a bit of everything. The tray ended up stacked high with various dishes that could easily feed a person for a couple of days. As Lucas made his way out, he bumped into Nathan and Cole."General Morrison, good afternoon," Lucas greeted.Nathan gave a small nod in acknowledgment.Cole eyed the assortment of food on Lucas' tray and teased, "Hungry today? Do you think you can finish all of that?"Lucas shrugged. "I had no clue about Mrs. Morrison's food preferences, so I just grabbed a bit of everything. I didn't realize there'd be this much variety, and the tray filled up faster than I expected."Cole chuckled. "Judging by Mrs. Morrison's amazing fig
