Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart
Chapter 256
Chapter 256
After enduring a long-haul flight that spanned over a dozen hours, the team finally arrived in Ylandia the next day.
Stepping off the plane, Natalia hardly had a moment to gather her bearings when she spotted Killian emerging from the ranks of their security detail. She paused, taken aback.
For a moment, she found herself staring at Killian, momentarily lost for words.
"Why are you here?"
Killian cracked a smile. "Mr. Fowler was concerned about your safety, so he had Minister Dawson arrange for me to join the security team."
Natalia quickly grasped Hamilton's intentions.
This trip, after all, was not one where safety was a concern.
The Department of Defense had assigned personnel to accompany them, and even the Foreign Affairs Department had arranged for personal bodyguards. Hamilton's decision to send Killian was likely due to his unease about her working alongside Ryan.
"That man," Natalia couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
Yet, she said nothing more.
Killian had arrived, and it wasn't as if she could simply send him back.
Ryan, descending from the plane, made his way towards Natalia until his eyes landed on Killian, causing him to momentarily hesitate.
"Who's this?"
Killian, with a friendly smile, extended his hand to Ryan.
"Mr. Holzer, I'm Ms. Jenkins' personal bodyguard."
Ryan glanced at Natalia.
Sighing slightly, Natalia didn't bother with an explanation, merely handed her luggage to Killian.
"Let's get going. Since you're here, stick to the protocol and don't break any rules."
Killian nodded promptly.
Ryan, trailing behind the two, managed a bittersweet smile.
Hamilton, always playing it safe.
Swallowing his bitterness, Ryan stepped forward to catch up.
Their accommodation was arranged by the consulate.
After checking in, Natalia reached out to Hamilton on her phone.
The phone rang several times before he picked up.
Natalia hesitated, suddenly remembering the time difference.
"Did I wake you?"
Hamilton's voice, laced with amusement, answered, "Waiting for your call, how could I be asleep?"
His voice, deep and tender, sent Natalia's heart into a flutter.
Holding the phone, she suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
