Chapter 373

“This is not a place you should have come to.” Nathan’s expression was grave.

Mila pursed her lips and smiled. “Fortunately, I did.”

Nathan’s gaze softened as he looked at her, his heart filled with concern.

“And you? How did you end up getting captured?” Mila asked curiously.

Her sudden, overwhelming hug caught Nathan off guard, freezing him in place. From shock to a sense of joy, Nathan’s emotions surged even more. This was the first time Mila had hugged him voluntarily.
