The Wrong Woman

Despite Phoebe's tearful pleas, Mila remained indifferent to her own needs. With Nathan still missing, she lacked the motivation to wake up. She reclined once more and shut her eyes, softly saying, "Phoebe, I'm okay. I just want to rest a little longer. Wake me up when Nate returns."

"Mila..." Phoebe broke into tears, alarmed by Mila's condition. This was a side of Mila she had never witnessed before.

Previously, Mila would readily shed tears over the slightest grievances, her heart easily swayed by sadness. But in the face of Nathan's accident, she remained strangely composed.

Instead of being consumed by tears and hopelessness, Mila slept soundly, almost as if untouched by the tragedy.

Nonetheless, her deep slumber seemed to signify more than mere exhaustion-it hinted at a profound resignation toward life itself.

Witnessing this version of Mila filled Phoebe with an even greater sense of dread.

As news of Nathan's accident reached Zach, he immediately mobilized search teams to scour the river, gradually expanding their search area.

However, Zach found himself increasingly troubled as he observed Mila's deteriorating condition. She refused to eat or drink, lost in an endless cycle of sleep.

Despite Zach's efforts to coax her, Mila remained unresponsive.
