Chapter 636
Nathan’s expression turned serious as he shook his head.
Mila was shocked. “So, Yale isn’t Oliver after all?”
“I’m not sure. All the data on Oliver’s DNA in the database has been erased, even the previous samples are gone,” Nathan replied.
Mila clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. “No wonder he was so calm today. Turns out, he’s got nothing to fear anymore.”
“Maybe it’s because he got cautious after I took his blood at the wedding,” Nathan said, leaning back on the couch and closing his eyes. “He’s planning to run for election, so it’ll be even tougher to catch him then.”
“He’s truly terrifying,” Mila remarked. “He leaves no trace in anything he does. It’s all cleaned up perfectly.”
Nathan reached for her hand, squeezing it tight as he said, “I’m most worried about you now.”
“You don’t have to worry about me. From now on, I’ll make sure to bring Phoebe with me whenever I go out, along with a few others,” Mila replied.
“Project 905 is about to kick off, so you have to start preparing, too. We’ll be heading to the frontier soon,” Nathan said.
“What about Jasper?” Mila’s mood shifted to a more somber tone as she reluctantly lowered her head. “He’s still young. Should he stay with my parents or yours?”
“Bring him with us,” Nathan said, embracing Mila. “We can keep him close for the next few years until he starts school.”
“Okay.”
The maid came to announce that dinner was ready.
As the family gathered around the dining table, they engaged in lively conversation and laughter, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Nathan briefed Zach, Tristan, and Michaela about his upcoming work at the frontier.
Intrigued, Zach asked, “I understand Nate’s role and responsibilities, but I’ve always been curious about what Wanda does. It seems so mysterious.” Mila and Nathan exchanged a knowing smile.
“Wanda used to work at the Sunterland Research Institute,” Michaela explained.
“What kind of work did she do there?” asked Zach.
Michaela shrugged. “She never mentioned it. It was a government institution, so we didn’t pry too much.”
Tristan added, “Yeah, Dad. There’s probably a good reason if Wanda isn’t talking about it. It’s fine as long as she’s not doing anything wrong.”
Mila leaned toward Nathan and whispered, “Nate, do research units in Norvania have confidentiality agreements?”
“No, researchers are highly
respected here, and it’s a prestigious
job. There’s usually no need for secrecy And if there were, it would
be to protect information froential
outsiders and prevent any potential danger.”
Reassured by his explanation, Mila boldly confessed to her family, “I’m a chemistry researcher and also a military engineer. My job mainly involves researching chemical weapons for military use, such as fighter jets, missiles, and so on.”
The three of them present were suddenly dumbfounded. They stared at her in shock and exchanged bewildered glances.
Mila couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s with you guys?”
“S-So, you’re a researcher who works with military weapons?” Zach sounded amazed.
Mila smiled in response. “Grandpa,
you’ve always pushed me to do well
in my studies. You’ve invested a great deal in my education, all because you’ve wanted me to succeed, haven’t you?”
Zach laughed, “Yeah, I wanted you to succeed, but I never expected you to be this impressive! No wonder you chose to become a citizen of Sunterland.”
He finally grasped Mila’s challenges. To access cutting-edge technology from a powerful nation, Mila had to join a more prestigious team where she could delve into the details. However, these powerful nations typically preferred their own citizens, making naturalization the sole path to acquiring additional expertise.
With Mila achieving success in her studies, it was now time for her to return and strengthen her homeland.
Tristan and Michaela weren’t as surprised as Zach. During their time in Sunterland, they had already recognized the significant importance of Mila’s work.
