The wide streets of the military base were littered with supplies for the victims. Crowds of people were


    milling about.


    M and Phoebe got out of their vehicle, eager to be part of the relief efforts as soon as possible.


    “Nate.” A familiar voice grabbed M’s attention. Fenna, d in rescue gear, approached them. With


    her eyes fixed on Nathan, she asked tenderly, “You’re back? Did you find a solution?”


    Noticing M, her face fell as she asked, “Why did you bring her here?”


    Nathan looked at M before turning to Fenna. “Thanks for the effort. You even came back from your


    break to help us out.”


    “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 M. “So, what about her? Is she here


    to cause trouble?”


    When M 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 M pulled her back.


    Nathan could sense Fenna’s dislike for M, but he didn’t have time to 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 sincest night, and my arm’s a little sore.”


    “You should go to the doctor.” Nathan quicklymanded, “Cole, get Fenna to the hospital. ”


    Fenna quickly grabbed Nathan’s arm. “It’s not necessary. It’s just something minor.”


    “Are you sure?”


    “I’m not the type to break down over little things. I’m strong. Don’t underestimate me,” Fenna said with


    a beaming smile and patted him on the arm.


    M 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 M’s heart. She already felt terrible enough and hadn’t


    expected to be taunted by Fenna.

    After Fenna intentionally touched Nathan twice, he nced back at M 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 came to his senses and walked ahead. “I’ve brought two teams of experts.”


    They continued their conversation on their way. Meanwhile, M 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.
