"During these few days, I was back at the military base to handle business affairs. I received a call from a colleague in the satellite surveince department, saying they located you. "We immediately dispatched troops and helicopters to rescue you, so I followed along," Cole exined.


    Nathan nodded calmly. He slowly stood up and rested his hand on Cole''s shoulder. "Help me walk."


    With Cole''s support, he slowly made his way to the door.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Outside, the gunfire ceased.


    Cole curiously asked, "General Morrison, why did you keep this mission secret from me?"


    "You''re my closest subordinate. If you knew my n, you might not have acted convincingly enough, which would have failed to deceive the enemy."


    Cole felt aggrieved. He muttered softly, "So, you deliberately kept it from me, from Madam, and from your family to make the enemy believe you were truly in trouble. "Everyone thought you were missing, so they kept searching, worrying and grieving."


    Nathan smiled faintly and responded, "Yes."


    Cole asked again, "How did you injure your leg?"


    Nathan exined, "I imnted a satellite tracker in my body beforehand. To avoid detection by hospital equipment, it remained inactive."


    Cole was shocked. He asked, "So you performed surgery on yourself to activate the satellite tracker?"


    Nathan sighed lightly. He responded, "I didn''t use anesthesia. It was really painful. I almost bit through the towel."


    Imagining the scene, Cole was heartbroken, but he also wanted tough.


    He said indignantly, "General Morrison, next time, entrust such dangerous and arduous tasks to me. I''m not Lucas, I would never betray you."


    "I never doubted you."


    "Thank you, General Morrison."

    Cole stayed behind with an elite team to continue the search andplete the mission.

    As the sun rose and the mist dispersed, the gate of Hoffis Manor was pushed open.


    Robert rushed inside and said excitedly, "Mr. Hoffis Senior, Ms. Hoffis... Mr. Hoffis and Mrs. Hoffis are back... they''re back..."


    M and Zach had already woken up


    and were sitting at the dining table having breakfast. Upon hearing the news, they were stunned. They quickly left the table and walked out.


    Holding their child, Tristan and Micha walked to the entrance. Upon seeing M and Zach, both of them were moved to tears.


    "Dad, Mom..." M called out. She couldn''t believe her eyes. It felt like she was dreaming. She was so excited that her whole body was trembling.


    She rushed over to hug Micha, Tristan and Elio. They were all crying.


    Zach secretly wiped his tears away He walked over and gently patted Tristan''s shoulder. He sobbed, "Finally, you''re back. Our family is finally reunited."


    Tears welling in his eyes, Tristan raised his head and asked, "Dad, where''s Mom?"


    At the mention of Loretta, M couldn''t help but burst into tears. She cried like a kid in Micha''s embrace.


    With Elio in Tristan''s arms, Zach didn''t dare to tell him where Loretta was.


    Tristan felt something was wrong. Touching M''s head, he said, "Wanda, don''t cry. Where''s your grandma? Wasn''t she released? Where is she now?"
