The Wrong Woman

Chapter 402

Nathan fell into a momentary silence.

Instead of questioning how Mila had learned of his accident, he nervously asked, “Chubs, are you outside?”

Mila replied casually, “Yeah, I was on my way to meet Sienna and spotted you guys.”

With concern etched into his voice, Nathan asked, “Do you have a bodyguard with you? Is Phoebe there?”

Mila paused briefly before replying, “I’m alone. I didn’t bring anyone.”

Nathan’s urgency grew as he pressed, “Share your location with me. I’ll send someone over immediately.”

Once more, Mila fell silent, realizing Nathan hadn’t been concerned about her question at all.

Despite her worries about his car accident, he hadn’t mentioned a word about it. Instead, he showed more concern for her safety.

“Nate, everything’s fine. I’m just meeting up with a friend,” Mila reassured him, hoping to alleviate his concern. “Phoebe will join me shortly.
