Chapter 236

“Nate, you’re back,” came Suzanne’s soft voice. Nathan’s heart skipped a beat. The sweet smile on her
face brought him back to life.
He had always loved Sally. He just hadn’t gotten the butterflies from the impostor the way Sally had
made him feel.
True love had no reason. It was all about feeling, and such love would never change in a lifetime.
After hanging his coat, Nathan walked over to Suzanne. He put his
arms around her and held her close.
Suzanne stiffened in his arms. She had to lean against his sturdy
chest. His embrace was warm and comfortable. She caught a familiar whiff of his pleasant scent.
Suzanne’s heart raced, and she didn’t know what to do. She whispered, “What’s going on?”
“I’m just tired. I need a hug.” Nathan held onto her soft body. He closed his eyes, kissed her forehead,
and stroked her long hair with
his hands.
uzanne lost herself in Nathan’s hug. She couldn’t withdraw from his tenderness and affection. His
whole being filled her heart.
She even had a hunch that Nathan was in love with her since he had been holding her in such a tender
and passionate way lately.
Suzanne slowly wrapped her hands around his waist and asked, “Are you hungry? Would you like
dinner?
“Have you had dinner?” Nathan asked.
I
“Not yet. I have been waiting for you. The food has gone cold.”
Nathan smiled. He looked down at her and said softly, “Don’t wait up for me next time. Just eat when
you’re hungry.”
Suzanne nodded and hummed in response. A sweet feeling spread within her and her smile never
faded,
“Let me reheat the dishes.” Nathan released her and made for the kitchen.
Suzanne caught his hand. “Let the housekeeper do it. You’ve been out there all day and you’re tired.
Take a rest.”
Nathan nodded and held her hand as they walked over to the couch. Yet, his phone rang just as they
sat down. Nathan glanced at the number before answering it. “Mom, what’s up?”
There was an abrupt change in his expression. He stood up and ended the call right away: Suzanne
was startled by his reaction and got to her feet as well. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
“Stay home. Have your dinner and rest in your room. I need to go out for a while,” Nathan instructed as
he held her hand.
Suzanne grew worried. She had never seen Nathan this nervous before. “I’m your wife. Can’t you let m

Nathan paused for a moment before replying, “Daniel’s back.”
Suzanne was surprised. “Daniel?”
Daniel had rescued her from the drug den. His return should be a good thing, but Nathan was
unusually anxious.
“What happened to Daniel?” Suzanne asked worriedly.
A bad feeling crept into her heart. An undercover narcotics officer in a drug den had only two ways to
return home-make a noble sacrifice.
or retire with honor.
Nathan shook his head. “I have no idea. I’ll go see him now. He’s. being treated in a hospital.”
Suzanne admired the narcotics officers more than anything in her
life. Besides, Daniel had been her lifesaver, and he was Nathan’s brother. Her eyes began to well up.
She held Nathan’s hand and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Nathan’s heart ached as he saw the tears in Suzanne’s eyes. Without
much time to think, he took Suzanne to the hospital.
