Chapter 367
Phoebe smiled and said, “You’re not only the one who saved my life, you’re also the only family I have.”
Meanwhile, Sienna looked at Phoebe with mixed emotions in her eyes, then slowly shifted her gaze to Mila’s face. She couldn’t help but wonder how someone as kind as Mila could exist.
For Mila who was born into wealth, she never sought luxury. Instead, she chose to work in Sunterland.
She was kindhearted and couldn’t bear to see others suffer. She saved Phoebe and lent a large sum of money to help Sienna through hard times.
Mila also often live–streamed painting sessions to raise money and donated to charity on her
Own.
“Wanda, what do you value most in life?” Sienna asked curiously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNathan immediately popped into Mila’s head.
“Her work,” Phoebe interjected.
“I’m really curious. What’s Wanda’s job? Sienna asked.
Phoebe smiled quietly in response.
“I’m just an ordinary mechanical engineer,” Mila said.
“What kind of machines? What are they used for?” Sienna pressed.
Mila quickly changed the subject. “Let’s not talk about my work. It’s kind of boring. Let’s talk about you. You-”
Just then, someone’s phone rang. Mila and Sienna looked at Phoebe, who answered it and exchanged a few words with the caller. /
After a moment, Phoebe handed the phone to Mila and said, “Mila, it’s General Morrison’s assistant. He’s looking for you.
“Who?” Mila suddenly got nervous.
“Cole.”
Mila got nervous every tpeople or things concerning Nathan were mentioned. Her unwillingness to leave grew. However, Mila didn’t want to complicate things any further since she would be returning to Sunterland the next day.
She made up her mind and stated, “Tell him that I’m not seeing Nathan anymore.”
The look on Phoebe’s face becsolemn, and her hand holding the phone froze in the air. Mila, just listen to what he says. Don’t leave yourself with any regrets.”
Phoebe’s demeanor was too intense and it made Mila feel insecure. She grabbed the phone and held it to her ear. “Cole, what’s the matter?”
“Ms. Hoffis, I know you’re going to leave Norvania tomorrow. General Morrison toldnot

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto tell you, so you can return to Sunterland peacefully, but I must tell you.” Cole’s voice was heavy with grief.
Cole’s words disturbed Mila and she said, “Tell me. What happened?”
“General Morrison is in trouble,” Cole blurted out. His voice was filled with sorrow.
Mila’s heart skipped a beat and she felt as if a heavy weight had fallen on her chest, making it difficult for her to catch her breath. “What happened to Nate?”
Cole explained woefully, “Half a month ago, two researchers from the military base’s chemical research department were kidnapped by Nightshade’s men. Last time, we were quick to deal with the hydronium explosion.
“Nightshade suspects that Mila is part of our research team, so they kidnap the two
researchers. General Morrison sent people to bargain for their release, but they were all killed.. “Nightshade then demanded that General Morrison negotiate alone, or they would kill the two researchers and murder more Norvanian researchers. General Morrison was left with no choice, so-”
“Where’s Nate now?” Mila panicked.
“General Morrison has been missing for five days now. All trackers and locators are down. We have no news of him. I’m afraid… he might…” Overwhelmed with grief, Cole choked on his words.
Tears streamed down Mila’s face. Her throat stung, and her head spun. She choked out, “No, Nate must be safe. He must be alive!”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Hoffis. General Morrison-
“Shut up!” Mila shouted through her tears and abruptly put an end to the call. Wiping away her tears, Mila said to Phoebe, “Cancel the flight and findNightshade’s lair. I’ll find Nathan!”
