Chapter 2 He Came Back

  • James stood at the window and looked outside grimly.
  • Three years ago, he had an accident while carrying out a mission.
  • He found himself abandoned in the wilderness. He was injected with an immensely strong drug.
  • As he was about to die, she suddenly appeared.
  • James could no longer resist the effect of the drug and ravaged her.
  • By the time he regained consciousness, he found himself in the military hospital.
  • He used his connections and found her within two days.
  • However, it was too late. He saw her dressed in a white wedding gown and stood at the altar of the church, exchanging rings with Jon without hesitation. She had become Jon's wife.
  • Today, he received news about Jon's girlfriend being held hostage. He immediately thought she was the pregnant woman being held hostage and rushed there.
  • Unexpectedly, the pregnant woman turned out to be her husband's mistress.
  • Yet, she chose to put herself in danger to save the mistress and the bastard child.
  • James glanced toward the hostage room and asked solemnly, "How much longer will it take for the helicopter to arrive?"
  • Lieutenant Colonel Adler reported, "Another thirty minutes."
  • James did not say anything else but placed a ladder between two kitchen walls and climbed up.
  • I promised to keep her safe, and I shall keep that promise.
  • "Chief!" Lieutenant Colonel Adler shouted before ordering the other soldiers urgently, "Number 008, Number 101, follow chief immediately. You must protect him."
  • "Yes, sir." The two soldiers immediately climbed upstairs.
  • Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Adler nearly cried from worry.
  • Chief has a bright future and might even become president one day.
  • If anything happens to him, the vice president will kill me.
  • James jumped into a room agilely and glanced at the surrounding. Then, he cautiously approached Clara.
  • Clara suddenly noticed James behind the criminals and was stunned.
  • However, she quickly understood James' intention.
  • "Can I go to the washroom?" Clara asked.
  • "Just relieve yourself here." The older man replied cautiously.
  • "None of you have a chance to escape. There are more than a dozen guns aiming at you from outside the window." Clara glanced at the window.
  • The older man was stunned and rushed to the window.
  • Seeing this, Clara grabbed the chance and ran towards the door.
  • However, the older man realized Clara had tricked him. He raised his gun and aimed it at her leg.
  • James moved faster and grabbed Clara's arm, sending her crashing into his embrace.
  • Clara looked up into his eyes.
  • "Why did you return?"
  • "Lie down against the couch and don't move. I will do everything to protect you." James promised.
  • Cathy looked up at James.
  • She did not expect a stranger to do everything he could to protect her.
  • On the other hand, her husband who was supposed to protect her was now enjoying another woman's embrace.
  • The abductor shot the TV, shattering its screen.
  • That exposed Clara and James to the abductor's line of sight.
  • James dashed forward, shielding Clara in his arms.
  • Bang! Bang! Bang!
  • Clara's world suddenly turned silent.
  • Painful memories assailed her mind as she remembered Jon's betrayal and lies.
  • It would be nice if my life ends now!
  • Clara closed her eyes and quietly shed a tear.
  • In a split second, two gunshots sounded.
  • Number 008 and Number 101, who were hiding nearby, acted at James' instruction and instantly wiped out the abductors.
  • They rushed to check the fallen abductors before approaching James and saluted, "Chief, the abductors are dead."
  • James let go of Clara.
  • She opened her eyes and smiled. "I didn't expect to remain alive after all that has happened."
  • James was confused by her tone. She sounded disappointed.
  • Clara got up and looked at him with her beautiful eyes. They were clear but cold, reminding James of a peaceful lake where the water was cold but calm.
  • She smiled and said, "Thank you for your protection, Chief. Now that the mission is over, I shall head back to the hospital."
  • Then, she turned around, took her medical kit, and walked out of the door.
  • The room turned silent as if she was never there.
  • James looked at the wet patch on his chest and felt an inexplicable emotion.
  • "Lieutenant Colonel Adler!"
  • "Yes, Chief!"
  • "I need you to gather information about her. I want to know everything." James instructed sternly.
  • "Yes, Chief!"
  • Meanwhile, the fragrance of apples filled the room of a villa halfway up a mountain in Highmallow District.
  • There was a pink bed with wrinkled sheets in the room.
  • Jon sat naked on the bed and stared down at a woman. He had a gentle and charming expression, but there was not a hint of warmth in his gaze.
  • A woman in pink lay between his legs, parting her moist red lips seductively.
  • The woman kneeled and used her tongue to pleasure his most sensitive part while moaning enticingly.
  • "Sir… Please look at me." The woman pleaded.
  • Jon leaned down and smiled deviously. He tilted her chin and said, "You want it?"
  • "Sir, please give it to me. I will serve you better than your wife."
  • Hearing her words, Jon's calm gaze suddenly turned cold. He shoved her aside and stood up.
  • "How disappointing."
  • Jon snorted softly and headed toward the bathroom.
  • James returned to the base and looked through the information Lieutenant Colonel Adler gathered. He frowned, and guilt flashed in his dark eyes.
  • He had not known how much Clara suffered after her marriage.
  • She lived separately from her husband and did not get along with her in-laws. Furthermore, her mother had to be admitted to a mental hospital.
  • Moreover, her husband had eighteen lovers since their marriage.
  • He changed his lover around every two and a half months.
  • Jon closed the folder and instructed Lieutenant Colonel Adler, "Speak to the chairman of the hospital and promote her to the vice director position."
  • "Yes, understood." Lieutenant Colonel Adler obeyed without question.
  • "Also, appoint two military doctors in the special forces. I don't want us to have to resort to using civilian doctors during emergencies again. Fighting criminals is a soldier's duty."
  • "Yes, understood!"
  • "What is my schedule for today?" James put on his military uniform.
  • The uniform made him look upright and valiant.
  • Lieutenant Colonel Adler answered, "Chief, Chief Randel of the Air Force invited you to meet at General Order Nightclub."
  • James frowned slightly.
  • General Order Nightclub was a famous place for drinking and sex. Most people went there to have a love affair.
  • He had an unexplainable revulsion toward such places. However, he was curious about why Elias Randel wanted to see him. Thus, he did not reject the invitation. "Sure."
  • Clara had just finished her final surgery for the day and opened her office door tiredly.
  • Her best friend, Aari Vaughn, sat with her legs crossed on Clara's chair and grinned at her. "Clara, I heard you have been promoted to the vice director position."
  • Clara nodded with a smile. Aari was her only close friend. Thus, she could let go of her worries temporarily before her.
  • "How did you know? You are quite well-informed."
  • Aari said excitedly, "That is such good news. Why are you still working? Let's go. I'm bringing you somewhere to celebrate!"
  • Since Clara had finished work, she did not refuse the invitation but nodded with a smile. "Sure. Let me change my clothes."
  • A sly gleam flashed across Aari's eyes. "I have prepared your clothes and placed them in the office."
  • Then, she turned around and pulled out a pack of pills from her pocket. If Clara was here, she would instantly recognize that it was a popular sex drug.
  • Aari chuckled and went out to make a call. "Hello, is this General Order Nightclub? I would like to make a reservation…"
