Wendy, understanding the tense situation they faced, tried to reassure Callie. ‘It’s okay. Nothing is going to happen. We’ve got this.’With Wendy’s comforting words, Callie started to believe that maybe she was just overthinking things.‘Callie, perhaps you’ve been pushing yourself too hard,’ Wendy remarked, examining the wound on her finger. ‘Look at this, it’s a bit deeper than it should be. You’ve been quite careless.’Callie nodded, not taking it too seriously. ‘You might be right. I haven’t had much sleep lately. Most of my time has been spent tending to the wounded, and when I do get a moment to rest, I find myself visiting Jamison.’Wendy voiced her concern. ‘Callie, you need a break. If you wear yourself out, you might end up losing more than you gain. I’ve got the sutures here covered; leave it to me.’Agreeing, Callie left the infirmary, but she didn’t head for the lounge.Instead, she went to the intensive care unit.Jamison had been unconscious for the past few days, stil
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 226 Insecurity
Harriet had always excelled on the ground, but her true passion lay in the sky, a love instilled by her parents’ careers in the Air Force.She had progressed from a humble pilot to her current role as the air force commander.‘Yes, Sir!’ Harriet saluted Elias again, her determination shining through.‘Elias, you’ve undergone quite a transformation,’ Harriet remarked, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. ‘You were different in the past.’Elias, intrigued, asked, ‘How so?’Harriet delved into the memories. ‘You might have grounded me in the old days.’Elias contemplated her words. ‘Perhaps I would have.’Harriet continued, ‘You’ve evolved into a more compassionate and considerate leader. Back then, you commanded respect and struck fear into our hearts because of your tough reputation. But now, I believe people are starting to not just respect you but also admire you. You’ve shown us that, as a soldier, you can be human, with genuine emotions and empathy. I guess it took someone like C
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 227 Regret
The success of this mission had dealt a significant blow to Shadowfire’s momentum, leaving them with little choice but to break the balance with Engalia.In response, Engalia’s army was prepared to confront and annihilate the enemy.The victory ignited the soldiers’ morale, and the atmosphere was filled with optimism.Even the medical staff, despite not being directly involved in the battle, were touched by the victorious atmosphere.As Callie tended to Jamison, she hummed cheerfully.Hearing Callie’s soft voice, Jamison raised an eyebrow and grinned, ‘What’s got you in such a good mood?’Callie realized that Jamison hadn’t heard the news of Harriet’s victory while he was recuperating in the ward.She happily shared, ‘Harriet successfully completed her mission and emerged victorious.’Her joy for Harriet’s accomplishment intertwined with her happiness for Elias and the army’s victory.In her heart, Callie had already accepted her role as an army wife.‘Well, that’s definitely somethin
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 228 Wendy’s Dilemma
Lemuel quickly intervened, holding Wendy back from behind.He lowered his voice and urged, ‘Wendy, what are you doing? Calm down!’‘Calm down?’ Wendy gritted her teeth. ‘How can I calm down in this situation? How can I, when they’re behaving like that?’Lemuel furrowed his brow. ‘Don’t act impulsively. It could be a misunderstanding.’‘Misunderstanding?’ Wendy’s eyes reddened. ‘What misunderstanding? I heard what they said. General Westwood? Ugh! He’s regretting marrying Callie and pining for Harriet again? What is Callie to him? How can he say such a thing?’Wendy had spent plenty of time with Callie, especially since they’d been transferred to Valour Ridge Military Academy from Rosedale Hospital.She’d witnessed how Callie had fallen in love with Elias.And now, Elias was regretting it and seemingly wanted to be with Harriet once more.What would happen to Callie?Lemuel clenched his teeth, hearing Elias’s words, and couldn’t help feeling a trace of anger.As a soldier, he deeply ad
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 229 Wendy’s Confession
Stepping back, Wendy hesitated, afraid that her words would shatter Callie’s heart into pieces.‘Wendy, what’s wrong?’ Callie asked, puzzled. ‘It seems like you’re hiding something from me.’‘That’s not true!’ Wendy denied, almost instinctively. ‘Why would I hide anything from you? I just had trouble sleeping last night, so I’m tired. You’re overthinking things. What could I possibly hide from you?’Callie didn’t press further, and seeing Wendy return to her usual carefree self, she let the matter go.Wendy continued eating her toast, taking bites as if she were trying to devour the very essence of Elias, the traitor.Callie, on the other hand, had lost her appetite, merely pushing her food around on her plate.As the saying goes, one’s fears have a way of becoming reality.Wendy’s greatest fear was that Callie and Elias would meet face to face.And just as they were finishing their meal, Elias and Lemuel entered the canteen for breakfast.On the base, it was common knowledge that the
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 230 Callie’s Tears
Callie had seen Elias and Harriet standing together, laughing and talking as if they were a perfect match.It was as if they were advertising a picture-perfect couple in their military uniforms.However, when Callie appeared, Elias barely acknowledged her.If she hadn’t wished him goodnight before leaving, he might not have responded at all.She now realized that Elias and Harriet’s interaction wasn’t just about official business.And worse, he regretted marrying her.Callie was torn apart, unable to find the right words to express her pain.Though her marriage to Elias had been hasty, she had never regretted it.She believed she had found the right person, and their time together had brought her happiness.But now, her happiness seemed to have vanished overnight.Her heartache was palpable as she sat in silence, tears streaming down her face.Wendy hugged her friend, trying to offer some comfort.Callie cried for a long time until she was exhausted, wiping away her tears.‘Callie, do
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 231 Elias’s Struggle
In Wendy’s eyes, Elias wasn’t in the same league as that scoundrel Simon.Callie and Elias had displayed their affection for each other openly.How could he so easily claim he didn’t love her?She couldn’t believe Elias didn’t care about Callie.Elias remained silent but clenched his lips even harder.‘Callie’s running a slight fever, but she’s still working. No matter how hard I tried to convince her...’ Wendy sighed, ‘I wanted to tell you to talk to her, to ask her to take better care of herself, but it seems unnecessary now.’Wendy concluded her words and walked away, not looking back.She knew she had partially fabricated that story, but if Elias truly cared about Callie, he would definitely make some inquiries about her.As Wendy left, Elias stood rooted in place, clenching his fists.He had wanted to keep their distance, to ensure Callie’s safety, and prevent her from being caught up in the Shadowfire matter.He was determined to stay away from her.Each time he encountered Call
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 232 The Weight of Remorse
Callie hugged herself tightly and buried her face between her knees.Determined not to cry aloud, she bit her hand to stifle the sound.Her teeth sank into her skin so fiercely that the metallic taste of blood filled her mouth.Yet, even that couldn’t distract her from the pain inside.Callie had once thought that being abandoned by Simon was the worst thing she could experience.But now, she realised that Elias’s indifference was enough to break her down.Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.He wanted her to stay away from him?How could she possibly do that?***In Elias’s office, Harriet knocked on the door, holding a yellow file in her hand.‘Come in.’Harriet handed the file to Elias. ‘This is a document from the Northern Theater. Please give it a read.’‘Alright.’ Elias accepted the file and began to review its contents.His face remained as cold and decisive as ever, a thin layer of ice seemingly covering his every expression.Harriet observed him carefully, concern etc
