M remained silent as she watched Fenna.
Cole looked around and said, “Ms. Hoffis, where’s Lucas and the others?”
M pulled Cole outside the door. She lowered her voice and said, “I don’t know the details. We’ll have
to wait for Nate to wake up before I can tell you, but Lucas betrayed us.”
Cole was shocked. He shouted in anguish and frustration, “That can’t be!”
M knew they wererades, as close as brothers. She found it hard to ept such a fact.
“Nate is injured because of him,” M said.
Cole clenched his fist, seething with anger as his veins bulged. He suppressed the feeling until his eyes
reddened. Turning away from M, he tilted his head back to take deep breaths, gradually easing the
anger and heartache. 1
M didn’t know how tofort him. His anger and pain were so intense.
Still, Nathan must be suffering a hundred times more than Cole.
At the thought of Nathan, M left Cole alone and returned to the ward.
As she entered, she froze in ce.
Fenna sat beside the bed. She rested her elbows on the bed and tightly held Nathan’s hand against
her face. She was emotional as she looked at Nathan with an intense gaze.
Then, Fenna gently kissed the back of Nathan’s hand.
Witnessing such an affectionate scene, M didn’t know whether to enter or leave. She also didn’t
know whether to tell Fenna to let go of Nathan’s hand or to reassure her not to worry too much.
Unfortunately, she had no authority to make Fenna let go of Nathan’s hand. She could only secretly
wallow in her pain.
M walked in and stood in front of her. “Ms. Hudson-
Before she could offer any words offort, Fenna cut her off, “You can go back. Just leave this to
me.” She didn’t even nce at her.
M was speechless.
Fenna looked at M, who remained silent and motionless. She lifted her head in displeasure and
gazed at M.
She slowly released Nathan’s hand and asked, “What’s the matter? Is there anything else?”
M took a deep breath. She exined, “I want to wait for Nate to wake up.”
“No need. I’ll have Cole notify you when he wakes up,” Fenna replied.
M remained silent.
Fenna continued, “You can have Phoebee pick you up, or you can take a ne back
yourself. When Nate wakes up, Cole recovery.”
M stayed silent again.

Fenna acted as if she was in charge. After a moment’s thought, she said, “By the way, thank you for
fearlessly venturing alone to Nightshade headquarters to rescue Nate. We will always remember your
kindness.”
We? When did she and Nathan be one? Was it this month when M decided to return to
Suntend and deliberately avoided Nathan?
At that moment, M witnessed Fenna’s intimate gestures toward Nathan.
It wasn’t something that regr friends would do. It clearly looked like what partners or family members
would do.
M’s heart was in turmoil, feeling too ufortable to speak. She thought about the timest in the
prison on the ind when she had physical contact with Nathan. He always deliberately avoided her.
All signs indicated that he seemed to have changed.
M couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Hudson, are you and Nate…”

Fenna looked up at M, her gaze bing intense.
After a long pause, M gathered the courage to finish her question, “Are you two together?”
Fenna paused for a few seconds before saying seriously, “Yes, we’re together. We’ve been officially
together for a month.”
A gut–wrenching feeling surged through M’s heart. The pain sent shivers down her spine, leaving her
numb.
She wanted to cry, her tears already welling up in her eyes, yet she managed to muster a faint smile.
Her mind went nk. She was unsure of how to react without being rude.
Together for a month?
That was the month after she clearly rejected Nathan and was preparing to return to Suntend.
Indeed, Nathan didn’t evene to see her during that month.
