Phoebe's excitement surged as she promptly offered her support, assisting Mila in sitting up.

Mila stretched her hand toward Cole, questioning, "Where's Nate's message?"

Cole rushed to grab his phone, accessing the messages programmed by the coder, then promptly passed it to Mila.

Mila stared at Nathan's number, then shifted her gaze to the message he had sent. Tears welled up in her eyes, her fingers trembling slightly.
