“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.”
M 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.” M 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.
M couldn’t help blinking as she watched his sexy Adam’s apple bobbed. Feeling a little thirsty, she
pursed her lips.
The nket on Nathan’s shoulders slid down again as he wiped his mouth. M looked away quickly.
Her face was even redder than
before.
“Phoebe confirmed that my parents have death certificates but not cremation certificates. And there are
no ashes in the grave either. They’re still alive, I suspect. So, she and I moved here to Hoffis Manor
protect my grandparents and find out about my parents from Oliver.

Nathan turned M’s head toward him. He stared at her and
emphasized every word, “Remember what I told you? They could very well be Nightshade spies.”
The stern look on his face made M nod nervously.
“Why take the risk if you know that?” Nathan asked.
“To protect my grandparents and find my parents,” M replied firmly.
“Relying solely on you and that person, Phoebe?” Nathan smirked.
M bit her lip and said tenderly, “How about you give me a hand, Nate? You could help me get twice
the results for half the effort.”
Even with a stomach full of anger, Nathan couldn’t resist her helpless look and her soft words. “Wanda,
I promised to take care of this matter. You can trust me fully. It’s very dangerous for you to move into
Hoffis Manor, do you know that?”
“I know.”
“Great. Leave with your friend today.
M shook her head adamantly.
Nathan was frustrated. He held his forehead and drew a deep breath. After a while, he sighed
helplessly. “You haven’t changed a bit. Nobody can change you once you make up your mind.”
M leaned toward Nathan while supporting herself on the bed with both hands. “Nate, don’t
underestimate Phoebe. She’s verypetent.
“And what about you?” Nathan couldn’t care less about anyone else. He only cared for M.
“Me?”

“You have never faced any hardships or setbacks from childhood until now. You have been raised as a
princess, as delicate as froth. The three years of amnesia were your greatest hardship. How will you
save your family?”
M tapped Nathan’s shoulder confidently. “Nate, trust me, I can. Let’s work together to find my parents
and save my grandparents, okay?”
“You’re not listening to me!” Nathan’s eyes turned grave. He tossed the nket aside and got out of
bed.
M blushed and covered her face. “What’re you doing?”
“I’m going to the bathroom.” Naked as a jaybird, Nathan boldly headed for the bathroom.
