Stella Grace sat on the sofa, waiting to hear from Jasper Milton the entire night. She did not dare to sleep for fear she would miss his call. In fact, she couldn't fall asleep at all. She could not feel at ease until she knew he was safe. Three days passed. She was exhausted. She ate nothing, lying in the sofa while looking at her phone. Mina Hadley could not bear seeing her like this. She said, "Stella, eat something or sleep for a while. If the Chief calls you, I will immediately tell you. The Chief would be sad if you fall sick." Stella stared at the phone and said nothing. Her gaze was empty and lifeless. Mina squatted in front of her. "Actually, no news is still good news, right? Let's eat something." "He must have gotten into an accident. If he's alright, he would have called me by now," Stella said with certainty. It was unusual for him to remain silent for three days. In fact, Mina also felt something was off. "
"What did she say?" Mina Hadley asked worriedly. "She said there are different top secret offices. Except the person in charge, no one knows where yours is, not even Jasper's father. She will give each of you 1 million yuan as compensation," Stella Grace said. "Does this mean that we can't go back to the team for the rest of our lives?" Mina frowned. "Jasper may regain his memory one day. Otherwise, you may apply for the military again. You'll have to start from the ground up, but I'm sure you'll do well considering your talents," Stella tried persuading her. Mina stared at the ground. She was capable and strong but this was too much. "I need to discuss this with the rest of the team." "All the best," Stella said apologetically. They were in this situation because of her. She felt sorry for them, but there was nothing she could do. For a soldier, glory was the most important thing. All their past achievement were wiped out. Putting
Stella Grace had never thought about this question. If she took the child to Jasper Milton, would he recognize the child as his own? Would his parents accept the child? Jasper didn't know her anymore. Would he hate her? What could she do if they rejected the child? Her mind went blank for a moment. She couldn't answer him. Frederick Addington stood up with a sneer, straightened up his clothes, and said coldly, "Don't worry, I didn't find your child, so you don't have to worry about dealing with Jasper." Frederick turned around and headed towards the door. She stared at his back. She suspected he had already found the child but was not willing to tell her. He wouldn't hurt her child, would he? There was a flash of panic in her eyes. She said anxiously, "If you find my child, I will marry you, and I will not go to Jasper. Even if the child is Jasper's, we can't be together. His family won't recognize the child as theirs."
Stella Grace couldn't sleep so she watched videos all night instead. She watched all kinds of fun variety shows. She also watched stories about coming-of-age pains. Finally, she watched a movie. The movie was about the legendary Chinese warrior, Hua Mulan. Mulan went through all kinds of wars for twelve years. During that time, she lost a lot of friends to the war. She fought alongside a prince, and they won. Eventually, for the sake of peace, the prince married a princess and became the emperor. Hua Mulan never married for the rest of her life. After watching that movie, Stella felt even more pain. She sat on her bed and silently stared into space. She was thinking about her future, thinking about what she should do, thinking about how good it would be if she could forget everything and start a new life. In the morning, she brushed her teeth and washed her face. There were dark circles under her eyes. She tried to forget what
Mina Hadley felt sad. "Why don't we do it this way, if the Chief asks us to continue our mission, I will request that you stay our commander." "I will be a burden as a commander. Jasper can lead you more confidently, plus he has wide connections. The key is that he is in a high position and has great power, so your tasks will be more easily initiated. That's all for this matter. Let's have dinner together tonight." Stella turned and walked toward the Inspection Institute. She ran into Jasper Milton at the entrance. She lowered her head and stood aside. Jasper left flanked by a group of soldiers. He didn't even look at her, just as she didn't look at him. She turned around and returned to her office. The evening had arrived. Mina called everyone back, and they gathered for dinner in their secret place. Stella and Mina were the chefs. It was a rare opportunity for the others to relax as well. They brought beer, peanuts, meat, chicken
"You are a doctor, a psychiatrist or a psychologist perhaps, and you have some achievements in your career. You pursue a relaxed life. You came to Sun City for business. You visited a friend you met online for a few days here, and you had sex with her. Today, she was the one who sent you off. However, you didn't really like her and that's why you decided to go back early," Stella Grace said. The guy was impressed. "How did you manage to come up with these? They are very accurate." "First, there is trace of ring on your ring finger. You haven't been divorced for a long time. If you had a child, you would be much more irritable. Second, you are wearing a Patek Philippe watch. This watch is valuable, so you must be very successful in your career. Thirdly, there is a faint smell of medicine on your body. From the way you speak, you don't seem to be an ordinary doctor. In addition, based on your comments about me, I concluded that you are a psychiatrist."
Stella Grace's back stiffened, and she braced herself. Jasper Milton realized that was inappropriate. He let go of her hand and looked at her expressionlessly. There was no warmth in his voice. "Which station are you heading to?" Stella lowered her head and clenched her fists to calm herself down. She replied, "A City." "It will take more than five hours to get to A City. Come with me. I have something to ask you." he said in a commanding voice, leaving no room for her to refuse. If Jasper had not fought his way into her life, perhaps she would not have fallen in love with him. Several times, she wanted to leave him. Now she was completely in love with him, but he did not remember what had happened between them. Stella walked toward her coach. He followed her. He saw that all the seats were occupied. "Didn't you say that you have a seat?" Stella went to get her suitcase, but she couldn't reach it. He reached out an
When Eli Wayne saw Stella Grace exit the train station, she waved her hand and shouted happily, "Stella, I'm here." Stella smiled when she saw Eli. They hadn't seen each other for almost half a year, but Eli was still as lively and cheerful as before. She walked towards Eli. Eli took her luggage and put it in the car boot. "Stella, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look prettier." "You're too sweet, I feel like I'm eating honey every day when I'm with you. You look more beautiful too." They hugged. "Then why do you still want to go to Sun City?" Eli asked regretfully. The spark in Stella's eyes dimmed. "You will never know your ability if you don't give it a try." Eli was amused. "Thank you for comforting me. You can sleep at my place today. We haven't seen each other for a long time." "Okay." Stella got in the car, fastened her seat belt, and looked out of the window. This city had not changed much. "You're r
