The Wrong Woman

Chapter 62

After letting go of Sally, the head of the pirate scrambled his way to the speedboat and left.

Sally, on the other hand, went over to Nathan with a hand covering the cut on her neck.

The moment she reached him, she cried, “Nate! Tell your men to fire at the pirate! We can still finish him off since he isn’t far away from the ship! Hurry up!”

Instead of doing as she requested, Nathan pushed her away and pried her hand from her neck to check her injury.

Calmly, he said, “It isn’t that bad. You’ll be fine after some patching up.

Sally was mad at him now. “Shoot the pirate! He’s leaving!”

Turning a deaf ear to her demands, Nathan turned to Cole and said, Patch her up.”

Sally could only watch and stomp her feet in annoyance as the pir and the speedboat vanished into the distance.

When she turned to face Nathan again, she realized that he was already walking back to the cabin with his men.

“Nate, aren’t you going to help me with my wound?” she asked, rushing after him.

“I almost died,” she said with a pout. “I’m still so scared.”

Ignoring her, Nathan strode in the direction of the cabin, with Cole and Lucas following closely behind.

Lucas lowered his voice and asked “General, how should we get rid
