‘I would have done that even without you telling me,’ Harriet responded, unimpressed by his instructions.‘Is that so?’ Dylan replied with a sly smile.As he leaned in again, Harriet quickly changed the subject. ‘General Sheppard, what’s your mission this time?’‘It’s classified.’‘Are you going alone?’ Harriet tried to pry information from him.‘Are you worried about me?’Harriet snorted. ‘As if.’‘It’s a little dangerous. If something happened to me, what would you do?’ Dylan asked, his tone more serious.‘I’d say, good riddance,’ Harriet quipped.‘I don’t believe you.’‘Believe whatever you want.’‘I have to go now. Time to collect my parting gift,’ Dylan said and lowered his head to kiss her.This time, the kiss was tender and passionate.Harriet’s attempts to push him away were in vain, and she found herself lost in the moment.After a lingering kiss, Dylan finally broke away and left her with a roguish smile. ‘That’ll hold me for a while. After I come back, we’ll continue where
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 264 Murder
Angelia sighed and began to reveal a painful truth. ‘You should know that I was kidnapped by those people from Shadowfire.’Whitney nodded.Angelia continued, ‘I never told anyone what happened there, but I’ll tell you now. I endured a living hell. Those monsters treated me like a plaything because I wasn’t the major general’s wife. They unleashed their hatred and anger on me. Among them was a drug addict who not only used, but also forced me to use. That’s when I developed this addiction. It wasn’t my choice. I wanted to quit, but I can’t control myself when the withdrawal symptoms hit.’She held out both arms and rolled up her sleeves. ‘Look at my wrists, my arms. When the symptoms came, I bit myself to resist it, to fight back, but it was useless. I failed time and time again. So, I resorted to stealing those drugs from the pharmacy.’Whitney couldn’t help but shudder.She had heard some rumours about Angelia’s ordeal, but she had never fathomed the extent of her suffering.Being a

The sergeant continued, ‘We’re just soldiers. It’s best if you, as doctors, examine the cause of death. We’ll hand her body over to you temporarily and report the case to my superior. Later, someone will come to take your statements.’Callie and Wendy acknowledged this as they moved Whitney’s body to the surgical room, which had been turned into a makeshift morgue.The news of Whitney’s death sent shockwaves through the infirmary.Harriet, who was in Elias’s ward, overheard the commotion and asked about the cause.Elias was quick to notice Harriet’s troubled expression.Harriet relayed the grim news to Elias. ‘There’s a nurse named Whitney in the infirmary. She died from blunt force trauma to her head, likely from a rock, and there was excessive blood loss. Do you have any idea who might have done this?’Elias frowned, deep in thought. ‘I can’t say for certain, but I highly doubt it’s the work of Shadowfire. Even if they were within our camp, using rocks seems too random for them. Bes

‘Elias, is that all right?’ Callie asked, tilting her head.‘Of course.’‘Then we’ll continue the charade,’ Callie said earnestly. ‘I’ll do my best to take care of myself, so you don’t have to worry about me.’‘Will you blame me?’‘What do you mean?’‘Everything comes back to the fact that I’m a soldier,’ Elias explained. ‘If I were a CEO or a celebrity, maybe you wouldn’t have to go through this.’Callie smiled and shook her head, brushing aside his concerns. ‘There are plenty of CEOs in the world, but none of them are you. No matter how wealthy or promising their lives might be, they can’t compare to you. Only you can support me when I’m at my lowest, willing to make sacrifices for me. I only want you, Elias. No matter how impressive others may be, they’re not you.’‘Callie, how could I not fall for you?’ Elias murmured, as much to himself as to her.‘Elias, time for you to go!’ Callie urged, giving him a gentle push. ‘You can’t stay here. What if someone sees us? Go back to your wa

Jamison said, ‘We’ll have to go through a drug test.’Angelia’s face turned ashen.She had anticipated being exposed, but she didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.There was no time to frame Callie.To divert the focus, Angelia suggested, ‘Could it possibly be Whitney? She may have used the key to open the cabinet and traded the drugs with Shadowfire secretly. But after the deal, they might have killed her.’Callie was quick to dismiss this theory. ‘That’s unlikely. Whitney wouldn’t have done this, and no one has reported their keys missing. The person who stole these medications must be among us, doctors.’Angelia realised she was forced into a corner.She bit her lip, trying to change the topic. ‘Dr Hawthorne is right. If no one has any objections, let’s start in two hours.’Panicking, Angelia pondered her next steps.She knew the drug test would reveal her guilt and she couldn’t allow that to happen.Half an hour later, General Conway arrived at the infirmary to address the murder

Angelia walked back to the infirmary, her head held low.Jamison noticed her distress. ‘Angelia, you look pale.’‘I’m fine.’ She turned her gaze to the other eight doctors, clenched her fists, and announced in a loud voice, ‘The drug test had been called off.’Surprised murmurs rippled through the room.‘What? Why?’‘Because I’ve identified the culprit who stole the drugs and killed Whitney.’ Angelia took a deep breath. ‘It’s Callista Hawthorne.’Callie’s head snapped up.What?‘It’s not me!’ she protested, her voice firm, although she felt a growing sense of dread.Angelia couldn’t hide her satisfaction as she witnessed the other doctors’ reactions.The collective gasp of surprise was music to her ears.Even better, she saw two of the doctors turning their suspicious gaze towards Callie.In that moment, Angelia felt a sense of victory.Callie had always been the darling of everyone, cherished by Elias, Jamison, Dylan, and many others.But look at her now.Angelia relished the satisfa

Angelia freed herself from Jamison’s grip. ‘I’m not lying. I can only speak of what I’ve seen with my own eyes. If you want to save Callie, go ahead. But if you expect me to lie for her, I won’t. I won’t let the real culprit go free just because of you!’Jamison watched Angelia storm away.He didn’t want to believe Angelia, but she sounded so sure.Yet, it was impossible for him to accept that Callie would be capable of such cruel acts.What was he supposed to do?***As soon as Harriet got wind of Callie’s arrest, she bolted to Elias’s ward. ‘Elias!’‘Yeah?’ Elias, unaware of the chaos outside the ward, furrowed his brows when he saw Harriet rush in with a flushed face.‘General Conway accused Callie of drug dealing and murder. She’s been arrested!’ Harriet spoke between heavy breaths, having sprinted all the way to Elias’s ward.‘What?’ Elias’s mind went blank. ‘Harriet, what are you talking about?’‘I know it’s a lot to take in right now, but please listen.’ Harriet, noting Elias’s

‘Silly, why are you crying?’ Callie tried to smile. ‘It’s fine if Elias won’t help. His heart belongs to someone else now. I’m old news to him. But don’t you worry, I’ve still got friends. When Dylan comes back, I’m sure he won’t just sit by and watch me get court-martialled.’‘Are you and Major General Sheppard really dating?’Callie cleared her throat. ‘Of course.’‘I thought it was an act.’‘No, it’s for real. Don’t fret. Wait until Dylan returns, and I’ll be fine.’‘Callie, don’t lie to me!’‘Why would I lie? I’m dying to get out of here!’Though Callie spoke confidently, she had no idea what fate awaited her.Yet, she never doubted Elias.His refusal to help wasn’t a lack of love; there had to be reasons.She had to stay strong and wait for Elias’s plan to play out.As they spoke, a soldier, temporarily assigned to guard duty, came over. ‘Time’s up.’Reluctant to leave, Wendy lingered until Callie urged her to go.The guard led Callie back to her cell and shut the door, plunging
