Chapter 606


    "If Yale is in the clear, there''s no reason for Nathan to feel anxious about his blood. But if there''s a problem with Yale, Nathan would undoubtedly take swift action."


    Cole''s realization hit him like a ton of bricks. "Mrs. Morrison, are you suggesting that General Morrison''s true motive isn''t to obtain Yale''s blood for DNA analysis? Perhaps he''s orchestrating this ruse to provoke Yale''s suspicion, prompting the man to retaliate against him."


    M nodded. "That''s my theory."


    "But why would General Morrison do that?" Cole asked.


    M, too, struggled to understand Nathan''s motive. Confusion clouded her mind.


    Rubbing her temples, M thought for a moment before asking, "Cole, has Nate given you any unusual instructions recently or asked you to ce anything in the car?"


    Cole suddenly recalled and eximed, "Yes, he did. General Morrison tasked me with fetching a professional diving pump with oxygen from the arsenal a couple of days ago, along with a specialized hammer for breaking car windows."


    A faint smile crept onto M''s lips, dispelling the sadness and despair that had gued her in recent days. Every worry she had morphed into a source of determination.


    The weight that had burdened her heart lifted atst.


    Tears welled in M''s eyes as she retrieved her phone, rereading thest message Nathan had sent her: "Stay calm, wait for my return."


    M bit her lip, a whirlwind of emotions raging within her. "When youe back, we need to have a serious conversation," she silently pledged. "Risking your life in such a dangerous n without discussing it with me first-is that fair to Jasper and me if something goes wrong?"


    Unable to suppress his curiosity, Cole asked, "Mrs. Morrison, what is General Morrison''s n exactly? Where is he?"


    "I''m not entirely sure," M admitted. She didn''t have a clear grasp of Nathan''s intentions, but she knew they were all part of his calcted strategy.


    "So, what''s our next move?" Cole asked.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    "Keep up the search as usual. Avoid investigating Yale or getting too close to him. Also, do not assign anyone to track him under any circumstances. Simply regard him as inconsequential. Concentrate on your duties and avoid disrupting Nate''s n," M directed.


    Cole nodded in acknowledgment. "Got it, Mrs. Morrison."


    M added, "And keep this information to yourself. Don''t discuss it with anyone."


    "Consider it done."


    In the early spring, the streets were bathed in radiant sunshine, with vibrant green shoots beginning to emerge.


    Apanied by Phoebe, M took


    Jasper to the hospital for his


    check-up and vinations. After the appointment, they ventured to a nearby mall, browsing for clothes


    and essentials for Jasper.


    To their surprise, they ran into Fenna and Lillian, whom they hadn''t seen since the wedding reception a month prior.


    It seemed that Fenna and Lillian were also shopping for baby supplies, hinting at Lillian''s recent pregnancy.


    As M approached Lillian to greet her, she was met with a cold reception.


    Fenna, on the other hand, wore a look of disdain as she angrily eximed, "With Nate''s life on the line and his whereabouts unknown, how can you justify shopping here?"


    M shot back, "What other choice do I have? Should I spend every day at home grieving? Or should I dive into the river each day, searching for my possibly deceased husband?" Through gritted teeth, Fenna retorted, "Nate won''t die."


    M let out a weary sigh before remarking, "Ms. Hudson, your love runs deep, doesn''t it? It''s just unfortunate that you''re directing it toward the wrong person."


    Fenna''s fists clenched, her expression twisted with anger. "A woman like you doesn''t deserve Nate," she spat out.


    M replied indifferently, "I


    apologize, but Nathan is still my


    husband, regardless of whether he''s dead or alive. My worthiness to him is not for you to judge. Even in death,


    I have the sole right to be buried beside him."


    Fenna''s rage intensified at M''s words.


    With Phoebe and Jasper in tow, M turned to walk away.


    As she took a step, she couldn''t help but overhear Lillian''s words. "Fenna, don''t waste your time arguing with a slut like her. She''s got some serious tricks up her sleeve. Every man wants to be with her."


    M had initially intended to leave the situation gracefully, but Lillian''s derogatory remarks pushed her past her limit.


    Regardless of Lillian''s status as the president''s daughter, M decided to confront her directly.


    She entrusted Jasper to Phoebe''s care and instructed her to wait at the store''s entrance.
