Chapter 170
Eileen was sandwiched between two staff members, strictly watched and escorted back to the military
camp.
No sooner had she gotten off the vehicle than she bumped into the head director.
The head director was so pissed off that he started to reprimand Eileen as soon as he spotted her.
Eileen was scolded until she dared not to lift her head. She lowered her gaze to her shoelaces and
barely dared to breathe.
Finally, another director couldn’t stand it and stepped in, “Morning training is almost over, let her get
back to the crew.”
Only then did the head director let Eileen go.
As soon as Eileen was free, she bolted!
Morning training was the same as usual.
At lunchtime, Eileen was seen sneaking off to the back wall with a pot of freshly made soup.
”
Arriving at the back wall and finding no one there, Eileen was overjoyed and about to climb over the
wall using a stone.
Suddenly, a familiar male voice rang out from behind. “Hey, Ms. Lopez, what are you up to?”
Eileen jumped, turned around, and found it was Eddie.
Eddie was walking with Lucas, side by side. Eddie was leaning half of his body on Lucas, looking like
he was kidnapping Lucas.
Eileen was worried that Eddie would call over the staff, so she quickly hid in the shadows of a nearby
tree. She gestured at Eddie, signaling him to be quiet and not speak!
Eddie didn’t understand what she meant, thinking Eileen was asking where he was going, so he said,
“Lucas is on duty today, so he needs to water the garden. I’ll accompany him.”
Eileen waved at Eddie again, telling him to go quickly, don’t linger here, don’t reveal her location!
Eddie finally understood and was about to leave.
Then he thought of something and suddenly turned back to ask, “Ms. Lopez, Mr. Reed got discharged
so soon, is he okay?”
Eileen was taken aback.
She straightened up slowly from the shadow of the tree, holding the thermos, looking at Eddie with a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpuzzled face, “Egbert… got discharged?”
Ten minutes later, in the Training Officer’s Office.
Eileen was shocked to see that Egbert was actually there.
There were other people in the Training Officer’s Office, including a cameraman and two assistant
instructors.
As Eileen approached, everyone in the room turned to look at her.
Eileen stood at the door without going in, just lifting her thermos a bit, looking at Egbert, and blinking.
At this point, Egbert put down the document in his hand and said calmly, “So it is decided, the military
exercise is set for the day after tomorrow, meeting adjourned.”
The two assistant instructors then got up and left, one in front, one behind.
It wasn’t until they had all left that Egbert spoke, “Come in.”
Eileen quickly stepped in. She put the thermos on the table and asked Egbert, “How did you get
discharged? Can you be discharged?”
Egbert smiled a little and said, “The doctor said it was okay.”
Eileen frowned and said, “Come here.”
Egbert obliged and moved closer to her.
Eileen checked on Egbert and found that he was indeed in good condition, “You recovered quite fast.”
Egbert didn’t say anything.
Eileen sat across from Egbert, opened the thermos, and handed it to him, “Have some soup. It’s good
for you after being discharged.
Egbert looked at the soup in front of him. It looked the same as last time.
He didn’t say anything, just ate it quietly.
Eileen asked curiously, “Is it good?”
Egbert said calmly, “It’s okay.”
Eileen was a bit disappointed, “Is it not tasty?”
Egbert was silent.
Egbert looked at her with surprise, “You made this?”
Eileen said, “Yes, the chef was too busy at noon to cook for me, so I found a pot and some ingredients
and made it myself. Is it not tasty?”
Egbert was speechless.
Eileen felt a bit down, she grumbled, “If it’s not tasty, don’t have it. Give it back to me.”
As she said this, she reached out to take it.
Egbert avoided her hand and quickly corrected himself, “It’s very tasty.”
Eileen looked at him dissatisfied, thinking he was just trying to comfort her, “If it’s not tasty, don’t force
yourself, next time let the chef make it for you…”
In the end, Egbert ate up the soup.
Only then did Eileen feel a bit better.
The cameraman faithfully recorded all of this.
After Eileen packed up the thermos, she suddenly said to the cameraman, “Stop filming him, let him
rest for a bit, let’s go.”
The cameraman was a bit hesitant, but considering Egbert had just been discharged and it was indeed
time for him to rest, he got up and left with Eileen.
They walked down the stairs together. When they reached the stairwell, Eileen suddenly said she
needed to go to the restroom.
The cameraman didn’t think much of it and left first.
As soon as the cameraman left, Eileen came out of the restroom and quickly ran back to Egbert’s
office, locking the door behind her.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.
NightKing paused the video with his remote control.
On the screen was the footage from Survival.
A fit young girl, wearing a camouflage tank top, carrying a long gun, hiding in the bushes, took down a
brown-skinned man not far away with a single shot.
NightKing squinted his grey eyes.
If the similar fighting skills could still be considered a coincidence.
Then from the way she held the gun, to the angle of the shot, even to the position of the ambush, all
exactly the same.
This seemed to be more than just a coincidence.
Tossing the remote control aside, NightKing frowned.
He took out a cigarette from the box, put it in his mouth, and lit it.
The taste of nicotine entered his throat, he exhaled a puff of smoke, which spreading in the air.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis slender fingers traced the pretty, youthful picture of the girl on the document, he murmured,
“Eileen…*
For a moment, he flicked the ash off his cigarette, chuckled, “Indeed, quite interesting.
Meanwhile, back in the Training Officer’s Office.
After locking the door and closing the windows, Eileen walked up to Egbert, gave him a big grin and
said, ‘One look from you and I knew you wanted me to distract the cameraman. I’m pretty smart, huh?”
Egbert glanced at her and said, “I didn’t signal you.”
Eileen blinked in surprise, “Didn’t you keep looking at me on purpose?’
Egbert exhaled and looked at her seriously, “You were the one who kept looking at me, not the other
way around.”
She blinked her eyes and scratched her head, “So you didn’t need me? Alright then, I’ll be on my way.”
As she was about to get up and leave, Egbert spoke up, “There is actually something…
Eileen turned her head to look at him, “What is it?”
At this moment, Egbert stood up. He walked over to Eileen, his expression turned serious, “The man in
the hospital room this morning, do you know him?”
Eileen was taken aback, she blinked, shook her head, “I don’t know him.”
Egbert squinted his eyes, “But you seem to know a lot about him?”
Eileen continued to shake her head, “I don’t know anything about him.”
Egbert frowned.
Worried that further questioning from Egbert would expose her, Eileen quickly said, “Are you referring
to how I noticed his fighting flaws? I just thought he was handsome, so I observed him a little longer.
I’ve never met him before, and we’re not familiar at all…
Before Eileen could finish her sentence, she saw Egbert’s face suddenly turn icy cold, his eyes dark
and deep.
Eileen was taken aback, she swallowed hard and asked nervously, “Egbert… what’s wrong?”
“He’s handsome?”
Egbert’s frosty lips slowly spat out this sentence.
His deep pupils were fixed on the girl’s panicked eyes, his foot lifted slightly, he closed in on her.
He’s handsome?”
Eileen was speechless.
