Mila didn't immediately accept Nathan's proposal. Instead, she feigned sleep. It wasn't that she didn't want to marry him. She simply couldn't commit at the moment.

She wished to wait until Oliver was apprehended and Loretta had her vengeance before she could fully embrace marriage with Nathan. With Oliver still on the loose, she couldn't find peace.

The following morning, the doctor arrived to examine Nathan. He ensured Nathan's wound wouldn't become infected before approving his release from the hospital.

Seated nearby, Mila observed Nathan cradling their child. She couldn't shake the feeling that the little one seemed tiny and protected in Nathan's embrace.

Nathan's affectionate smile, tender gaze, and striking features painted a beautiful picture in Mila's eyes.

Jasper beamed at Nathan, prompting him to laugh.
