The Wrong Woman
Chapter 508

Nathan put one hand on Mila's stomach and stroked her hair with the other.

A flood of emotions overwhelmed him as he said, "If you hadn't lost your memory, we wouldn't have met in this lifetime, and I wouldn't be married to you. Wanda, I've loved you for more than 20 years, ever since we were children, haven't I? Wanda?"

Nathan looked at Mila, who was lying in his arms. When he saw she was fast asleep, he couldn't help but smile blissfully and kiss her.

Late in the night, there was a sudden knock at the door. Nathan turned on a dim light which illuminated the dark room. He turned to Mila. She was fast asleep next to him.

When he saw that she wasn't disturbed, he quickly pulled the covers aside and went to open the door. He pushed Cole outside. Then, he closed the door so as not to wake Mila.

With a nervous look, Cole said, "General Morrison, our target has taken the bait."

Nathan's eyes lit up in response. "Right now?"

"Yes, the target's heading to where they're hiding."

Nathan felt a surge of excitement. "Have we found their hiding place?"

Cole nodded. "Yes, it's in Hoffis Manor."

Nathan's expression grew serious. "The most dangerous places are often the safest ones. That's a bold move."

Cole looked puzzled. "General Morrison, we've had informants at Hoffis Manor watching Avery's every move for the past six months, but we haven't come up with anything yet." "Has Avery been suspicious?" Nathan asked.

Cole thought for a moment, then replied, "No. She only stays at Hoffis Manor except when she goes to the military base for work. Occasionally, she will attend a few important meetings, but..."

"Go on."

"Her brother moved into Hoffis Manor a month ago."

"She has a brother?" Nathan was surprised.

Cole paused briefly before continuing, "We've checked, and she does have a brother who went abroad to study when they were young, but there's no information on him." Sensing something was amiss, Nathan said, "Watch her brother."

"Got it," Cole replied. Suddenly, his phone rang. With a nod to Nathan, he immediately answered the call. A mysterious and wary voice spoke from the other end.

A few moments later, Cole hung up and hurriedly said, "General Morrison, our informant has found a hidden underground passage at Hoffis Manor."

Nathan glanced back at the dorm. Despite his reluctance to leave Mila, he instructed firmly, "Arrange a flight back immediately."

"Got it," Cole replied before leaving.

Nathan made his way back to the dorm to change his clothes. He gently leaned over the bed and kissed Mila's forehead.

Mila slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Nathan, who was bathed in a soft glow of light.

"Did I wake you?" Nathan asked softly.

When Mila saw him all dressed up to leave, she understood he was on another mission. She smiled at him and shook her head. "It's all right. Where are you going?"

"To Phoenicia," Nathan replied as he gently stroked her forehead. "Stay here and take care. Don't strain yourself."

"Be careful," Mila whispered. She reached out to touch his handsome face.

"I will," Nathan assured her. He kissed the back of her hand.

Mila was worried about him. His sudden departure in the middle of the night meant it had to be an urgent mission. Besides her concern for his safety, she also worried about Fenna being around him. "Are you bringing Fenna with you?" Mila asked.

"No," Nathan replied with a gentle smile.

"Nate, can you get Fenna transferred away from you?"

Nathan seemed troubled as he explained, "She was assigned to me personally by the President. It won't be easy to get her transferred."
