Mila’s reluctance to leave Nathan filled her eyes with sadness.She blinked her teary eyes and stared intently at Nathan but she couldn’t see him clearly as night
had fallen. Yet, his outline still looked breathtaking. Her heart stiffened like her body. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs Find_Novel.ɴet”You probably will not get another chance to return to Norvania if you go back to Sunterland this
time. Will you really leave without hesitation?” Nathan’s voice carried serious weight.”I—” Mila was at a loss for words as her heart ached. Although she couldn’t bear leaving Zach and
Loretta, she hated leaving Nathan the most.Zach and Loretta could still keep in touch with her during her vacations. They could even visit her in
Sunterland.Yet, she and Nathan would become strangers the moment she left Norvania. He would be gone
from her life without a trace.If this had happened three years ago, she would have been sad but not as devastated and reluctant.
It was during these three years of amnesia that she had fallen deeply and irrevocably in love with
him. That was why she felt so hurt and was unwilling to leave him now.Given the choice between her scientific career and her love, she chose the former. She felt as if her
heart was being torn apart and was bleeding uncontrollably. Tears began to trickle down her cheeks.
Nathan had a faint glimpse of her tears. He cupped her face and wiped away her tears with his
thumbs. “Are you crying for your grandparents or Daniel?”Overwhelmed with grief, Mila dropped her head, her shoulders shaking with each sob. The pain was
too intense for her to ask why Nathan kept bringing up Daniel at a time like that.”Wanda, as long as you’re willing to stay in Norvania, the government can help you negotiate and
get the Sunterland settled. We’ll take care of the termination of your contracts, the project patents,
and other matters. We’ll fight to get it back to you,” Nathan assured her.”The projects aren’t just one. There are over 20,” Mila choked out with her head down.Nathan was taken aback. Mila sniffed and muttered sadly, “Nate, I’ve left over a dozen projects
unfinished while I was away.FindNovel.net”They’re all important to me but the hydronium project is the most important, and it’s extremely
challenging.””You mean—”Mila slowly shoved Nathan’s hand away and took a step back. “There’s no way I can stay in
Norvania.” Ads by PubFuture
The breeze from the sea blew in. It ruffled Mila’s long hair but cut through Nathan’s heart. He
looked at Mila but the darkness made it hard for him to make out her features.Tears trickled down his eyes, but he forced himself to smile as he said, “It’s dark.”Mila was upset and wanted to explain her difficulties. “Nate, I—”Nathan interrupted, “You don’t have to feel guilty because of what I said. I can report to Mr.
President as soon as I have your answer.”Mila’s heart hurt badly.”I respect your decision.” Nathan turned away and added, “Let’s go. I’ll give you a ride home.”
They were silent on the way back. Looking out the windows, they seemed lost in their thoughts.
Mila got out of the car when they reached Hoffis Manor. The car sped away as soon as she closed
the car door. She waved goodbye to the car as it drove away. She wanted to say goodbye but then
she felt that it didn’t matter anymore.Nathan just did what he had to do to convince Mila. He didn’t have a long conversation with her,
didn’t push her, and didn’t try to make deals. He knew that Mila would leave anyway.There was nothing in this world that could make Mila give up her scientific achievements, her
research on hydronium, her citizenship, and her career. Nathan never contacted Mila again in the
days that followed.Meanwhile, Mila devoted her time to Zach and Loretta. She held back, even though she missed
Nathan.She braced herself for the coming days without him.They wouldn’t meet or keep in touch, and eventually, they would forget each other.It was a month later in the morning and the sunlight streamed into the room with a warm glow.
Phoebe was packing her bags, while Mila and Sienna were in conversation by the side of the bed.
“Will we meet again?” Sienna asked.Mila nodded. “Yes. I’ll be able to contact you a month before and after Christmas. You can also visit
me at Sunterland.”
