Chapter 659
Mila was startled. Her tear-filled eyes turned to Cole in excitement.
Nathan’s voice rang out anxiously, “What’s wrong? Are Chubs and Jasper safe?”
Cole replied, “They’re safe, Mr. Morrison.”
Mila couldn’t wait any longer. She rushed over, snatching Cole’s phone with trembling hands. Her voice choked with emotion as she uttered, “Nate.”
Nathan’s gentle voice flowed through the phone. “I’m sorry, Chubs, for all the trouble you’ve endured these past few days.”
Mila bit her lip, her hand pressed tightly over her mouth, restraining tears of relief and joy. At that moment, all her past sufferings seemed insignificant. As long as Nathan was alive, nothing else mattered. “Are you and Jasper alright?” Nathan’s concern was palpable in his anxious tone.
Mila took a deep breath, trying to steady herself before replying, “Both of us are fine.”
“The news online is all fabricated. Don’t worry. I can’t show up at the moment, so I can’t come to rescue you.”
“No, please don’t come.” Mila’s voice trembled with nervousness, fearing the consequences if he were to return and face danger once again.
She felt an overwhelming sense of relief at narrowly avoiding a disaster. She dreaded the thought of losing Nathan again, having already endured that pain once before and never wanting to experience it again.
“Cole will keep you safe. Don’t worry.”
“Yeah, let’s end the call for now. We’ll talk when we meet.”
“Okay.”
Mila ended the call and hastily passed the phone to Cole, saying, “Let’s clean up and leave immediately.”
“Alright.” Cole accepted the phone, his curiosity piqued. “Who’s this guy? He looks so much like Mr. Morrison, it’s uncanny.”
A soldier chimed in, “Could he be the famous influencer who resembles Mr. Morrison? He gained fame on social media by impersonating him.”
Cole was astonished. “No wonder.”
Phoebe suggested, “Let’s call the police to handle this body.”
Mila finally grasped the situation. Oliver had purposely brought a man resembling Nathan on a rainy day, and killed him before her eyes, to shatter her heart and sever her attachment toward Nathan. It was a cruel act indeed.
Mila turned and headed back to the villa, Phoebe quickly following. “Where are you going, Mila?”
“Jasper is still upstairs.”
Phoebe quickened her pace.
As they walked, Mila asked, “Phoebe, how did you manage to find us here?”
Phoebe replied, “Mr. Morrison has been sending people to search for you these days. We didn’t expect to actually find you.”
“We need to hurry. It’ll be bad if Oliver returns.”
“He won’t be coming back.”
“Huh?” Mila was puzzled.
Phoebe smiled softly. “He’s already under the control of Mr. Daniel and Mr. Morrison. He’s in deep trouble now.”
Mila didn’t have time for further
questions. She went upstairs to get
Jasper and boarded the military base’s vehicle. Under Cole and Phoebe’s escort, Mila and Jasper safely departed for the military base.
It was soon a few days later in Phoenicia.
Daniel’s surgery was a success. After days of rest, his vision gradually improved.
Oliver, as his attending physician, had been closely monitoring his condition and prescribing
medications to aid his recover
After Daniel regained his sight, Oliver was eager to leave.
Daniel was filled with joy.
Anxiously, Oliver inquired, “Daniel, when will you arrange for my departure?”
Daniel, lying on the hospital bed, smiled faintly at him. “This afternoon.”
“Is everything set?” Oliver asked eagerly.
Daniel smiled. “Yes. A helicopter will take you directly abroad.”
Oliver felt nervous. “I need to make a trip to the frontiers and bring along the people I want.”
Daniel closed his eyes, still feeling a
bit dry and tired after his recovery “Just inform the pilot. He’ll follow your instructions. Wherever you wish to go, he’ll take you.”
Oliver patted Daniel’s shoulder excitedly, feeling grateful. “You’re still as loyal and friendly as ever.”
Daniel’s lips curved into a slight smile.
