Sally paled and a look of bewilderment etched across her face.


    When the crowd realized that Suzanne had been wrongly used and framed, they grew agitated and


    turned to Sally with fierce gazes.


    Sally rushed to Nathan and clutched his arm. She wiped away her tears pitifully. “Nate, please let me


    exin.”


    Nathan angrily shook her off. “Go exin it to Officer Chadwell.”


    “I didn’t do it on purpose, Nate.” Sally sobbed.


    “Cole, escort her away,” Nathan hissed and turned away coldly.


    Suzanne slowly stood up and shot a look of gratitude and longing at Nathan’s retreating figure.


    He left as quickly as he came. Suzanne didn’t even get to thank him.


    Cole approached Morgan and said firmly, “Officer Chadwell, please have your men apprehend the


    criminal who falsely used Madam and leave the base.”


    Sally ran up to Cole and pleaded through tears, “Cole, can you tell Nate to give me a chance to exin


    myself?”


    Cole frowned. “Ms. Hoffis, General Morrison had given you the chance to drop the charges. But you


    threw that away.”


    Sally was speechless. “I…”


    Morgan looked disgruntled and ordered angrily, “Retreat.”


    Almost immediately, all the police officers lowered their weapons and left.


    Cole reminded deliberately, “Officer Chadwell! Please remember to


    take Ms. Hoffis with you.”


    Morgan turned around to re at Sally. He returned and pulled her away by the arm. “Come with me to


    the station.”


    Sally shot a re at Suzanne and was reluctantly apprehended by Morgan.


    Lucas walked up to Suzanne slowly. He nced at the time and exined, “Apologies, Mrs. Morrison.


    General Morrison needs to be at Miston by noon. He’s rushing for the ne right now.”


    Suzanne finally understood why Nathan had rushed off. It was her who was dying his job.


    She nodded. “I’m sorry for interrupting your work. Please convey my thanks to General Morrison and


    apologize on my behalf.”


    Lucas was surprised. Why was the couple acting so distant?


    “Alright.” Lucas turned around and jogged to catch up with Nathan.


    Cole came up to Suzanne after sending the cops away and murmured, “Mrs. Morrison, General


    Morrison has always been rigid when ites to keeping time. This is the first time he’s beente to


    anything. And it’s an important meeting too. But he still did it for you.”


    Suzanne felt an overwhelming sense of guilt at this. But more than anything, she was worried that


    Nathan would be reprimanded for this.


    “I’m sorry…” Suzanne mumbled uneasily.


    Cole smiled and shook his head. “No need for apologies, Mrs. Morrison. General Morrison will be back


    tonight.”


    With that, he sprinted after Nathan.


    The crowd who witnessed the incident all came up to Suzanne tofort her and gave her their


    support.


    After thanking them, Suzanne returned to her room and locked herself


    1.


    She had nned to visit the two professors and discuss the Azurium. However, following the


    unpleasant incident, she had no mood for


    academic discussions.


    Suzanne waited for Nathan the entire night. She only fell asleep when she was thoroughly exhausted.


    In her hazy state, she felt something touching her hand.


    She slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by the handsome Nathan. His head was lowered and he


    was staring at her intently, carefully securing the bandage around her palm.


    Suzanne’s heart skipped a beat and she felt incredibly moved. She could feel the electricity coursing


    through her veins as her fingertips brushed against the man’s warm hand.


    It wasn’t a dream. Nathan had indeed returned.


    Suzanne felt her heart raced.


    “Nathan? You’re back?” Suzanne muttered drowsily. Her soft voice rang in Nathan’s ears.
