The Wrong Woman

Chapter 35

The Morrisons crowded around Vera as they asked her how she was doing and showed their concern for her.

Suzanne felt out of place, so she decided to leave the ward. Soon, she arrived at the corridor outside the garden on the first floor. She sat on a stone bench and settled her gaze on the shrubbery in the distance sullenly.

Suddenly, a man’s deep and rich voice shattered the silence.

“What are you thinking about?”

Suzanne snapped out of her thoughts right away. She tilted her head to look at the source of the voice.

Nathan had already stopped next to her at that time and sat on the same bench as well. His presence was strong and domineering, as always.

Suzanne’s heart tightened at the sight of him. Her body stiffened before she slowly adjusted her sitting posture.

“Nothing,” she replied coolly.

Nathan’s lips curled into a small smile, though his eyes darkened slightly. He asked in a chilly tone, “Did you overhear our project?”

Surprised, Suzanne turned to look at him in confusion. Nathan did the same as well, his gaze firmly pinned on her clear eyes.

The moment they made eye contact, Nathan realized Suzanne had beautiful and clear eyes. In a way, they were mysterious as well.

He decided to remind her. “Project Foghunt.”
