Chapter 400
The Sonmbayan soldiers threw Wallace and Cormac into the back of a vehicle.
Immediately after that, they were sent back to the airport and flown to Southrive’s Swallowston, along with a few soldiers as
escorts.
That afternoon, Adrian was at the Battle Warrior Department when he received word from Sombay that Wallace and Commac had been delivered
Adrian arranged for them to be sent to the hospital as he got up and rushed over there himself. However, before he did this,
he sent Reiss a text.
“Chubbs has woken up. Come to the hospital if you’re still in Swallowston.”
Meanwhile, Reiss was sitting on a long bench in a certain garden in Swallowston. She had no idea where to go since she was now homeless. At the same time, she did not wish to return to Northrive since that place was no different than a graveyard to
her.
When she read Adrian’s text, she remained silent for a while before she got up and hailed a cab to the hospital. Coincidentally, she ran into him when she arrived at the hospital’s entrance.
Upon exchanging glances, Reiss quickly averted her gaze. She did not wish to pay the man any attention, not until she was dead.
However, when she realized that she had not paid for her taxi, she reached out her hand and said, “I’d like to borrow three dollars for my taxi fee.”
Adrian took out three dollars and handed the money to her. “Do you not have money?”
“My father froze my bank accounts last night,” Reiss replied, walking into the hospital right after paying the fee.
Adrian shook his head in helplessness and followed behind her.
The two of them soon arrived at the ward, where Chuck was already awake. When he saw Reiss walking in, he was taken by surprise and asked, “Reiss? What are you doing here?”
Reiss shot him a smile. She sat by his bedside and stroked his hair as she asked, “What’s the matter? Am I not welcome here?”
“No, of course not. I’m just curious. Aren’t you supposed to be in Northrive?” Chuck asked.
He then noticed Adrian walking in behind her.
Once more, Chuck sounded surprised as he asked, “Reiss… You’re not in a relationship with Adrian, are you? By the way, Adrian. Where’s your wife?”
Chuck knew that Samantha was Adrian’s wife but thought that something may have happened over the past two years.
Reiss quickly said, “Stop imagining such nonsense. There’s nothing going on between us, and his wife’s at home. I’m here in Swallowston on business and just happened to run into him.”
Chuck let off an “Oh” and smiled. “You’re even more beautiful than when we were younger, Reiss. What brings you to Swallowston?”
“My little brother is dead so I’m here to collect his ashes.”
“Your little brother? Seth?”
“Yes.” Reiss nodded.
“What happened? How did he die?”
Chapter 40
“He was executed by a certain someone,” Reiss said as she gritted her teeth.
Meanwhile, Adrian silently stood by the side.
Chuck looked at Reiss before turning to look at Adrian. He was now even more curious about what was happening. However, he did not let his curiosity get the better of him.
“You’ll come to learn how to let go when you’ve experienced enough deaths. I was really sad when my mother passed away but I’ve come to realize that all humans have their own expiration date. It’s only a matter of time until it comes.”
Reiss grinned. “You’re really good at consoling people.”
Chuck laughed. “It’s really good to see you two again. You probably don’t know this, but Adrian’s now the great War Legate
Draco.
“Do you know what this means? He’s now reporting to only one person while everyone else is beneath him. Think about how glorious it is for us to be his friends!”
