Nathan could see that Mila’s eyes were filled with worry and sadness. He had no idea who she was worried about or why she was there. He got out of the car and walked over to her.
Mila quickly pulled a new dust mask from her bag and clumsily ripped open the wrapper. When he approached, she wasted no thelping him put it on. Her fingertips brushed over his ears. Suddenly, his words caught in his throat, and he could only stare at her in silence.
“Nate, the purple dust is toxic. You need a mask,” Mila said.
“Go back,” Nathan ordered. He had no desire to ask why she was there. He was only afraid that she might be in danger.
“Takewith you. I can help,” Mila pleaded earnestly.

so I’ve got no one who could bring you back. Go back by the
way you came. Leave at once,” Nathan said sternly.
“Nate, lethelp you,” Mila insisted.
“Have you forgotten what you said before?” Nathan asked. He felt a pain in his heart.
Mila fell silent. Her heart was aching as well.
“We’re not married, and we’re not friends. We don’t see or contact one another. So, why are you here? How can you help me?” Nathan asked helplessly.
After a moment of thought, Mila replied, “I’m a volunteer with the rescue team. I’m here to help those affected by the disaster.”
Nathan felt a stabbing pain. Her words hurt him again, but he couldn’t bring himself to say anything harsh.
“You’re not needed here. Go back,” Nathan said and turned, his back facing her.
Mila stepped forward and called out, “Nate.”
Nathan stopped in his tracks.
“The purple haze is still in the air ten hours after the explosion. You’ve got the most professional team of chemical researchers, but they’ve never cacross this before and haven’t cup with a way to fix it yet, right? Letin. I can have this fixed in three hours,” Mila said confidently.

Suddenly, Nathan could somehow feel the confidence flowing through her veins. He opened the car door and said, “Get in.”
Mila pointed to the car that was behind them. “I’ll take Phoebe’s car, and we’ll go after yours.”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Nathan’s eyes before he got into his car. The vehicles pulled in slowly, with Phoebe’s car following close behind. The air becincreasingly foul as they entered the
heavily damaged explosion area.
Their vehicles stopped at the military base, which was far from the explosion site.
Phoebe’s eyes widened in amazement at the base’s towering buildings. “So, the military base is as big as a city. Thank goodness the explosion didn’t happen here. How many people would have been killed?”
Mila unbuckled her seatbelt, her eyes gazing solemnly at Nathan’s vehicle. “Phoebe, be careful with your words. Don’t give my identity away.”
“I know, Mila. You too. Keep a low profile so no one gets suspicious.”
