Chapter 286

Mila blushed and explained, “Because he was sick, and his sweat
soaked his clothes.”
Phoebe grinned mischievously. “Oh? Is that so?”
Mila grew more flustered as she explained, “Y-Yes, obviously. Plus, we were married. I’ve seen him
with his clothes off, and it’s nothing.”
As Mila brought up their marriage, Phoebe asked, “Mila, you’ve been married to him for six months
after losing your memory. Have you
two… done it?”
“What?”
“You know, that stuff where you sleep together.” Phoebe smiled as she gestured suggestively with her
fingers.
Mila blushed deeply as she realized what Phoebe meant. “What’s on your mind? No, we haven’t.”
Phoebe looked at Nathan in shock. “Really? He’s so handsome and has such a great body. So, he’s
impotent?”
Nathan, who was pretending to be asleep, frowned. His body was still, but there was turmoil going on
within him.
Mila didn’t know if Nathan was impotent or not. What she did know was that Nathan respected her and
would never force her to do anything.
“Stop with the nonsense.” Mila shoyed Phoebe out of the room. “I’m. going to stay here and take care
of him. You go and find out the cause of my grandpa’s illness.”
“All right, be careful. Don’t let anyone else find him.”
“Okay.”
After Phoebe had left, Mila locked the door behind her and took a deep breath as she hung her head
down. As soon as she turned toward the bed, she was startled to see Nathan had sat up. His hands
were supporting his aching forehead.
The sturdy lines of his muscles were a particular eye-catcher. A hint of wild sexiness was added by a
few faint scars on his muscles.
Mila swallowed nervously and walked over to sit on the edge of the
bed. “Nate, you up? Anywhere uncomfortable?”
Nathan dropped and shook his head. There was a suffocating atmosphere around him. Mila covered
him with the blanket. “Cover yourself up. Don’t catch a cold.”
However, the blanket slipped down his shoulders. She tried twice more, but the blanket was still
slipping down. She got down on her knees right next to him and wrapped the blanket around him.
Nathan lifted his head. His misty eyes met her clear ones. In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere
became warm, soft, and serene. It was as if the whole world had fallen silent as they locked eyes.
Nathan saw. tenderness in Mila’s eyes, while Mila saw passion in Nathan’s.
Mila could feel her ears burning and her heart starting to beat. abnormally. “Yesterday, you fainted and
sweated a lot. Your clothe were soaked to the skin. So I helped you get undressed and wiped you
down. Don’t worry, I didn’t touch you or look at you immodestly.”
Nathan replied with a faint smile and a hum.
“When it stops raining, I’ll send someone to bring you some clothes. You can’t remain here. So hurry up
and leave when you feel better,” Mila said.
“Do you think moving in here will protect your grandparents? Have

you considered that it could be dangerous if your identity is found out?” Nathan asked, his voice
hoarse.
“Of course.”
“Then why are you still doing this?”
Mila leaned in close and whispered, “Nate, they are my family. I can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
“But you shouldn’t put yourself in any danger.”
“Nate, my parents might still be alive.” Mila moved closer to Nathan. and spoke into his ear, “The fake
Sally Hoffis moved into my house a month after my accident. She was on the video call with my
parents. and Oliver to fool my grandparents.”
