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


    M’s face. She couldn’t help but wonder how someone as kind as M could exist.


    For M who was born into wealth, she never sought luxury. Instead, she chose to work in Suntend.


    She was kindhearted and couldn’t bear to see others suffer. She saved Phoebe and lent arge sum of


    money to help Sienna through hard times.


    M 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.


    Nathan immediately popped into M’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,” M said.


    “What kind of machines? What are they used for?” Sienna pressed.


    M 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. M and Sienna looked at Phoebe, who answered it and exchanged


    a few words with the caller. /


    After a moment, Phoebe handed the phone to M and said, “M, it’s General Morrison’s assistant.


    He’s looking for you.


    “Who?” M suddenly got nervous.


    “Cole.”


    M got nervous every time people or things concerning Nathan were mentioned. Her unwillingness to


    leave grew. However, M didn’t want toplicate things any further since she would be returning to


    Suntend 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 became solemn, and her hand holding the phone froze in the air. M, just


    listen to what he says. Don’t leave yourself with any regrets.”


    Phoebe’s demeanor was too intense and it made M 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 told me not

    to tell you, so you can return to Suntend peacefully, but I must tell you.” Cole’s voice was heavy with


    grief.


    Cole’s words disturbed M and she said, “Tell me. What happened?”


    “General Morrison is in trouble,” Cole blurted out. His voice was filled with sorrow.


    M’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 exined 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 M 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?” M 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 M’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!” M shouted through her tears and abruptly put an end to the call. Wiping away her tears,


    M said to Phoebe, “Cancel the flight and find me Nightshade’sir. I’ll find Nathan!”
