Nathan felt lost. Meanwhile, Mila crawled out of the car in a different direction. She brushed off the dust as she got to her feet.
Phoebe ran over to help her and asked, "Mila, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Mila replied. She scanned her surroundings.
Beside the men who had collapsed from inhaling the ether earlier, there were a few others wearing gas masks, with bullet wounds on their thighs. They were lying on the ground, too afraid to move.
Mila realized more men had been brought in and finally understood why Phoebe couldn't handle the situation alone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNathan examined Mila from head to toe. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was okay.
Mila and Phoebe's car had been badly damaged and they couldn't drive it anymore. "The police will handle the scene. You can get in my car," Nathan offered.
"Thanks," Mila said. She made her way to his car and got into the passenger seat.
Phoebe and Cole stared at Nathan with a blank expression.
Nathan gazed at Mila for quite a while before saying, "Let's get in."
Cole entered the driver's seat while Phoebe tapped the passenger side window. As the window lowered, she said, "Mila, you should sit in the back with General Morrison." With a frown, Mila muttered, "Just get in the car and stop talking."
Phoebe pouted and puffed her cheeks unhappily. She reluctantly got into the back seat with Nathan, who had always been so distant and solemn.
The vehicle left the underground parking lot and entered the bustling street. There was an uneasy tension lingering in the car.
Phoebe sat in the corner, quietly watching the scenery as it passed by. She had expected to hear Nathan criticize her and Mila, but he remained silent. Moments later, Nathan's gentle voice broke the silence. "You can askanything you want to know. You don't have to investigate yourself."
Phoebe turned to Nathan to find him staring intently at Mila. It dawned on her that there was no way Nathan could be talking to her in such a gentle way. She turned her head back and stared out the window while Mila remained silent.
Nathan continued, "Avery is legally representing Dreamshift Beauty Salon. Lucas and Oliver have e
probably been holed up there for six months, which explains the heavy security.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"They've had plastic surgery and faked their deaths. They're now living under new identities with a different look.
"Lucas, who now goes by Hugo, is Avery's older brother. I'm pretending to be unaware to avoid alarming them.
"I sent my men to investigate Dreamshift Beauty Salon, hoping to confirm if Oliver was still there and to find out his current identity and appearance.
"Perhaps my plan was leaked, so
they baited my men to lureout and sent snipers to assassinate you.
"You're Oliver's weakness in their eyes. He couldn't act recklessly with you nearby. Also, I'm still looking into ET how my plan got out."
After laying it all out for Mila, Nathan asked, "Is there anything else you wish to know?"
A mix of emotions flooded Mila. She asked, "What were you thinking when you hung up onand turned off your phone?"
