Chapter 72

Suzanne knew he was pointing out that Sally was chasing after them.
Thinking of the affectionate moments between Nathan and Sally at the military base, along with
Nathan’s care and concern for Sally, extreme discomfort pierced her heart.
Suzanne lowered her head and chose not to say another word.
Nathan gazed at her melancholic profile, and his deep eyes became somber while his eyebrows
slightly furrowed.
A sense of uneasiness lingered within him as he wondered if she was that unwilling to be with him, and
whether she was thinking about
Oliver.
After a brief internal struggle, Nathan couldn’t bear seeing her distressed any longer. He asked at last,
“Where would you like to get
off?”
Suzanne bit her lip and a wave of sadness surged in her as she realized that in the end, he was letting
her get out of the car.
“Anywhere is fine,” she muttered.
In the front passenger seat, Cole hurriedly chimed in, “Madam, v on the highway; we can’t stop the
car.”
Lucas, who was driving attentively, also couldn’t resist interjectin Madam, come with us to the military
base for a few days. Many people there are fond of you, especially the researchers from the research
department. They often ask about your next visit.”
Since her amnesia, Suzanne had only heard her grandmother expres fondness for her. Thus, when
Lucas mentioned that many people a the base liked her, instantly brightened.

She leaned toward the driver’s seat with a smile, asking, “Really?”
Lucas replied affirmatively, “It’s true. Dr. Lawrence often mentions. you.”
Taking the chance to find her way out of this uncomfortable situation, Suzanne declared, “Then I’ll go
see them!”
Lucas grinned at this. “Madam, this time, I’ll teach you self-defense seriously. I won’t play tricks on you
like last time.”
Suzanne snorted. Now that she was in a good mood, a sweet smile appeared on her face as she
teased, “So, you’re admitting that you intentionally messed with me last time?”
After interacting with Suzanne several times, Lucas found her to be gentle, generous, and tolerant.
Hence, he laughed and said, “I apologize; it was my mistake. But I won’t do it again. Whatever you
want to learn, I’ll do my best to teach you, madam.”
Suzanne sighed softly. “But I don’t have the strength.”
Lucas responded warmly, “Strength can be trained. First, eat more protein-”
Before Lucas could finish his words, a stern voice came fro
“Focus on driving.”

Nathan’s tone carried a hint of anger. Lucas was startled and immediately straightened up, saying,
“Yes, General Morrison.”
He sensed jealousy from Nathan and didn’t dare to continue c casually with Suzanne.
Meanwhile, Suzanne felt the relaxed atmosphere abruptly bec serious and oppressive.
Leaning back in the seat, she took out her phone and silently brow the Internet, sulking..
Suddenly, a gentle whisper sounded in her ear. “If you want to learn self-defense, I’ll teach you.”
Suzanne was taken aback. She looked toward the man beside her. Nathan’s side profile appeared
serious as he sat upright, staring ahead without shifting his gaze.
But she hadn’t misheard; Nathan had indeed said those words to her.
Learning self-defense from Lucas was acceptable as she could focus on the training. Conversely, any
physical contact with Nathan made her blush and her heart race.
There was no way for her to control her actions and awareness, and she didn’t want to embarrass
herself in front of Nathan.
After a moment of contemplation, she tactfully declined his offer. “No need, I don’t want to learn.”
Nathan responded impassively, “Okay.”
He didn’t speak any further, closing his eyes to rest.
Subconsciously, his hand formed a fist, and his chest felt constricted -making it difficult to breathe.
The strange discomfort made his mood extremely unpleasant.
