Chapter 329

Phoebe suddenly had an epiphany. She chuckled, “So, it seems Oliver absolutely can’t harm
Mr. Morrison.”
“Yes,” Mila replied. She peeled the blanket off her and got out of the bed.
Phoebe stood up and asked, “Mila, where are you going?”
“I’m going to find Nate,” Mila said. She adjusted her clothes and walked to the mirror to fix her hair.
Phoebe said, “Mr. Morrison just instructed me to notify him when you wake up. You don’t need to go to the study to find
him. I’ll call him over.”
“It’s okay. My whole body feels sore from sleeping. I just want to move around for a bit.”
Mila left the room after speaking.
Phoebe just followed after her.
Mila went to the second floor and headed toward the study. Phoebe was still trailing behind.
Mila turned around. She waved her hand to dismiss her as she said, “You don’t have to
follow me, go do your own stuff.”
Phoebe was worried. She said in a serious tone, “You disappeared three years ago, and again. yesterday. I’m really
scared. From now on, no matter where you go, I’ll protect you around
the clock.‘
Mila furrowed her brows, looking at Phoebe with concern.
Phoebe said solemnly, “Except for the bathroom. Other than that, I’ll stick with you. Let’s sleep together
at night.”
Mila forced a smile. Mila was touched, and she patted Phoebe’s head. She said softly, “Okay. From
now on, you’ll sleep with me.
“You can do whatever you want, but this is Sudvilla, you really don’t have to worry about me.
“So what if this is Sudvilla?” Phoebe snorted. She crossed her arms around her chest and
tilted her head, “Back then, I kidnapped you from Sudvilla without putting any effort.”
Mila couldn’t refute it. She thought what Phoebe was saying made sense.
“I’m going to the study to find Nate. It’s out of your sight, but still within Nate’s sight. He won’t let me get
into trouble.” Mila comforted Phoebe.
Phoebe pointed behind her.
Mila continued before she could react, “I just want to meet Nate alone and express my gratitude. I’ll be
back soon. You really don’t have to follow me.”
“No need to thank me.” A gentle voice came from behind Mila.
Mila was startled. Her heart raced and she quickly turned around to see the man behind her.
He wore a gray tracksuit. But he still looked very elegant, giving an attractive vibe.
There were many things she wanted to say to him. But now that she met him, she felt even more
nervous and didn’t know what to say.
Mila stood there in a daze, feeling at a loss while looking at his pretty eyes.
Phoebe tactfully went downstairs. She went to the living room to leave them to talk.
Mila’s hands hung awkwardly at her sides. She looked around and peered out the window. She gazed
at the nighttime scenery outside the window and asked quietly, “How long did I sleep?”
“From yesterday noon until this evening,” Nathan replied.
So that was why her stomach had been growling for so long.
“Nate,” Mila said shyly. She felt embarrassed before she could let the word out. She
hesitated, not sure if she wanted to speak.
Nathan remained composed. He stared at Mila with an intense and gentle gaze.
“Yes?” Nathan was anxious as he waited for her to talk
Mila lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at him again. Her gaze was determined, but she was
too nervous to speak.
Nathan smiled bitterly. He knew there was no point in waiting for her to speak. So he took the initiative to steer the
conversation. “Phoebe mentioned that Sally planned to harm me?”
Mila immediately nodded.
Mila was nervous as she said, “Yes. I guess she wanted to drug you and force you into a marriage.”

Nathan chuckled, “That’s quite vicious.
Mila nodded again with her face full of determination. She said, “Yes, very malicious.”
“Who did she plan to bribe to drug me?” Nathan asked.
“I don’t know,” she replied.
Nathan pursed his lips as he smiled. He then said in a serious tone, “Then I’m defenseless against her schemes!”
Mila sighed. After a moment’s thought, she suggested, “Nate, if you trust me, then let me stay with you-”
“Okay,” Nathan interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.
“You should stay here to protect me!” Nathan excitedly said.
Mila didn’t know how to react to his decisive response.
