Chapter 381

On the journey away from the island, Mila quietly stayed by Nathan’s side.
Nathan had been shot. They couldn’t sail directly back to Norvania from the sea, so they chose the
nearest point to come ashore.
Once ashore, Mila found someone nearby and asked them to call for assistance. Then, they rushed
Nathan to the hospital.
Mila held the unconscious Nathan. She didn’t have the courage to check his breathing. Through the
ordeal of life and death, her heart grew stronger.
There was nothing more painful than her experience of losing Nathan.
If it weren’t for Oliver, Nathan would have died on the island.
She harbored no gratitude toward Oliver. He killed her parents. Thus, there was a deadly feud between
them. ↑
She would avenge her parents‘ death one day. She would definitely kill Oliver with her own hands.
At the hospital, Mila sat on the chair outside of the emergency treatment room. Her eyelids. grew
heavier, and she felt exhausted.
She was worried about Nathan, who was in the operating room. She didn’t dare to close her eyes, even
if just for a second.
The surgery lasted from 4:00 am until 9:00 am.
When the doctor came out, Mila was emotionally and mentally strained. She didn’t dare to relax, not
even for a moment.
She said anxiously, “D–Doctor… I…” Mila paused, wondering what the relationship between. her and
Nathan really was. She thought it should be friends.
The doctor reassured Mila before she could finish her sentence, “Don’t worry. The surgery was
successful. Your husband isn’t in critical condition.
“The bullet lodged in his shoulder blade, avoiding the vital organs. But the difficulty in removing the
bullet led to excessive bleeding and weakened his body. He needs rest, so make sure to take good
care of him.”
Mila was overcome with excitement as tears welled up in her eyes. She sincerely offered her gratitude,
“Thank you so much, doctor. I really appreciate it. I will take good care of him.”
The doctor smiled and said, “The patient’s information hasn’t been recorded yet. Find some time to
complete his identification information.”
Mila nodded as she said, “Okay, thank you.”
The doctor left.
Shortly after, a nurse wheeled Nathan out. Mila pushed the stretcher alongside the nurse.
Nathan lay on the bed, shirtless, with bandages wrapped around his shoulder. He was pale and
unconscious.
Back in the ward, Mila didn’t dare to sleep. She sat on the edge of Nathan’s bed, holding his warm
hand, and gazed at his handsome face as he slept.
She kept a close eye on the fluctuations of his heart rate on the ECG machine.
Soon after, there was a knock on the door.
Mila turned to look as the door was pushed open. She saw Cole rushing in anxiously. Her heart settled
slightly after seeing him.
But her joyful mood lasted only three seconds as she noticed the woman behind Cole. Instantly, she
felt dejected.
Fenna also came along.
“General Morrison!” Cole shouted as he entered the room. “How is he?”
Mila pursed her lips as she shook her head and said, “I don’t know. He just underwent surgery and
hasn’t woken up yet.”
After Nathan went into the operating room, she contacted Cole.
Cole immediately got in touch with Dorzania’s foreign affairs officer. He then flew over in a helicopter.
Unexpectedly, he arrived right after the five–hour surgery ended.
“Nate,” Fenna said as she walked toward Nathan. She held his other hand and leaned close to his
face. Softly, she called out, “Nate, wake up. It’s Fenna.”
Mila gently put Nathan’s hand down and covered him with the blanket. She pulled the blanket up to
cover his exposed shoulder.
“Let me look at his wound,” Fenna said as she lifted the blanket.
Mila nervously tried to stop her. She said, “Don’t-”
Before she could stop her, Fenna was already checking his wound.
Due to Nathan’s wound being wrapped in gauze, they couldn’t see anything. Even if they could, they
weren’t doctors, so there was nothing they could do.
Mila just didn’t understand why she wanted to look.
After checking, Fenna touched Nathan’s cheek. Her eyes reddened, and her voice caught in her throat
as she asked, “What happened? Why is he so badly injured?”
