The Wrong Woman
Chapter 272

"I'm sorry..." Mila mumbled.

Lucas couldn't stand the scene anymore. Clutching his fist, he snapped, "Ms. York, Mr. Morrison showered you with deep affection for half a year. For you, he—"

"Shut up," growled Nathan, effectively cutting off Lucas.

Lucas nodded and took a step back without a word.

Nathan feigned a casual tone. "Are you planning to head back to Sunterland?"

Mila replied, "I'll head back after settling the two snakes by Grandpa and Grandma's side."

Nathan scrambled for reasons to make her stay. "Aren't you going to take over the Hoffis family's business?"

"No."

"Isn't it a win-win situation to get your lover to Norvania while you take over the family business? You can stay back to enjoy family time with your grandparents."

She flashed him a smile and shook her head.

Looking upset, he nonetheless replied in a stiff tone, "Well, I wish you happiness."

Then, he left in great strides without looking back. Cole quickly followed suit.

Lucas, ashen-faced, felt sorry and upset on Nathan's behalf. He didn't leave. Instead, he stood in front of Mila and pointed a finger in her face. "I've never come across such a heartless woman like you. I know who you are."

Gritting his teeth, he continued, "Mr. Morrison has loved you for more than ten years. To make himself a man good enough for you, he risked his life to climb the ranks. That's how he reached the height of his

career.

"Every time something happened to you, he'd give up on everything to save you. He took care of you, day and night when you were in a coma-"

Phoebe cut him off irritatedly, "That's enough. What are you doing? Guilt-tripping her? He can sacrifice for her however he wants, but he cannot demand her to return his favor."

Lucas glowered at Phoebe. She insisted, "Mr. Morrison didn't say anything about it. All he did was to wish her happiness. Why are you harping on the topic when Mr. Morrison didn't even expect anything from her?"

Lucas placed his hands on his hips. "I... I can't stand watching this!"

Phoebe snorted, "So, are you trying to force her to accept a man she doesn't love, just because you can't stand the situation?"

A man she didn't love? Hearing that, Mila felt horrible and disconsolate.

Before she left Norvania, she had no clue what love felt like because she was too young to comprehend. All she knew was that she was fond of Nathan.

However, she had fallen for Nathan over the last three years. She loved him to the moon and back. Even if their relationship was doomed, the last thing she wanted was to hurt him.

Mila instantly teared up. Leaving behind Phoebe, she brushed past Lucas and ran after Nathan. It took Phoebe a moment to figure out the situation, and she ran after Mila. "What's wrong, Mila?" Seeing that, Lucas chased after the two women.

Nathan approached a car at the hospital entrance. Cole turned around to check. He said to Nathan, "Mr. Morrison, Lucas is not out yet." Nathan spun around just in time to see his beloved woman running out of the hospital. He stood there, nervously clutching his fist. Mila ran up to him and panted hard. "Nate, sorry. I—"

He smiled bitterly at Mila. She had repeatedly apologized to him. He assured her, "You didn't wrong me."

Looking tenderly at Mila, he gently reminded her, "Take good care of yourself. Leave your grandparents' matter to my care."

"But..."
