The wide streets of the military base were littered with supplies for the victims. Crowds of people were milling about.
Mila and Phoebe got out of their vehicle, eager to be part of the relief efforts as soon as possible.
“Nate.” A familiar voice grabbed Mila’s attention. Fenna, clad in rescue gear, approached them. With her eyes fixed on Nathan, she asked tenderly, “You’re back? Did you find a solution?”
Noticing Mila, her face fell as she asked, “Why did you bring her here?”

“Don’t mention it. The country’s affairs are my business. Besides, I can’t stand by and do nothing when you’re in trouble,” Fenna said earnestly. Then, she gestured to Mila. “So, what about her? Is she here to cause trouble?”
When Mila saw how close Fenna and Nathan were, a pang of jealousy gripped her heart. Instead of dwelling on her jealousy, she greeted her politely, “Hi, Ms. Hudson. I’m here to help.”
Fenna smiled thinly and said, “Ms. York, I doubt you’ll be much help with how fragile you look. You should go back and not make everyone’s lives harder.”
“That’s-“Phoebe stepped forward in displeasure. She was about to retort, but Mila pulled her back. Nathan could sense Fenna’s dislike for Mila, but he didn’t have tto deal with their problems now.
“Let’s get inside. Everyone’s waiting,” Nathan said.
“Okay.” Fenna swung her arm a little as she let out a hiss of pain.
Nathan walked beside her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I’ve been busy since last night, and my arm’s a little sore.”
“You should go to the doctor.” Nathan quickly commanded, “Cole, get Fenna to the hospital. ”
Fenna quickly grabbed Nathan’s arm. “It’s not necessary. It’s just something minor.”
“Are you sure?”

Mila and Phoebe followed behind them. The sight of them walking side by side, smiling and talking to each other felt like a dagger twisting in Mila’s heart. She already felt terrible enough and hadn’t expected to be taunted by Fenna.
After Fenna intentionally touched Nathan twice, he glanced back at Mila and noticed a hint of bitterness seeping through the facade of indifference she was wearing. He’d never seen her like this before.
Nathan knew that Fenna was interested in him. Even though he wanted to keep his distance, he didn’t have a good reason for it.
“Nate, did you bring the experts from Phoenicia with you?” Fenna asked.
Nathan cto his senses and walked ahead. “I’ve brought two teams of experts.”
They continued their conversation on their way. Meanwhile, Mila and Phoebe were gradually swallowed by the crowd.
They watched as Nathan and Fenna disappeared into the distance and entered the elevator. They couldn’t catch up even after the elevator doors closed.
