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

Jamison’s words struck Elias’s heart.He knew what Jamison meant, but he couldn’t save Callie, not in the way Jamison wanted.He couldn’t march into the holding cell and demand Callie’s release, as doing so would only endanger her further.However, he couldn’t tell Jamison these things.Not yet.‘Jamison, don’t take out your frustration on me. If you believe she’s innocent, go ahead and save her.’ Elias released Jamison. ‘As for me, I won’t go against military protocol and risk my career for a woman. General Conway is handling the case. I suggest you steer clear of it.’‘Elias, you coward!’‘You are asking for it.’ Elias clenched his fist tightly and punched Jamison in the face.Jamison staggered backwards.He wiped a drop of blood from the corner of his mouth, a mocking smile on his face. ‘You know how to fight, but you won’t stand up for your wife. Elias, you are a b*stard.’Jamison left the ward.If Elias refused to help Callie, he’d have to find someone else who would.***Carl sa

Carl saw how scheming Angelia was, and a glimmer of light flashed through his eyes. ‘That’s not a bad idea. But how do you propose we make her sick?’‘General Conway, don’t you forget, I am a doctor. I have a way to make her suffer from an acute illness. She’ll start showing symptoms within hours. However, I’ll have to trouble you to inject her with something.’‘Of course, that’s fine.’Slowly, Angelia picked herself up from the floor. ‘I just need to make a trip back to the pharmacy.’‘Go. Come find me when you’ve got what you need.’‘Yes, General.’Angelia left Carl’s office, still trembling.The pain in her neck reminded her that she barely escaped the grasp of death.She shuffled out of the headquarters and the feeling of emptiness in her body consumed her again.Now, she could no longer use the drugs as she pleased, as the ones she had on hand were almost finished.Angelia gasped and the blue veins on her forehead were bulging.Her face was extremely ashen.***In the ward, Elias

In the darkness, Callie examined the needle hole on her arm.In a desperate attempt, she squeezed her arm, allowing more blood to flow, staining her sleeve in the process.She continued squeezing and tried to rid as much of the substance from her body as possible.Minutes passed, then hours.Callie lay sprawled on the cot, her body wracked with pain.Hot and cold sensations alternated, and beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead.Gradually, she passed out.***In Carl’s office, a soldier reported the serum’s effects on Callie. ‘She’s running a high fever, but hasn’t asked the guards for help.’‘Stubborn,’ Carl remarked with a cold smile. ‘Let’s spread the news. If Elias truly cares about that girl, he’ll take action.’The soldier acknowledged the order and left.Carl contemplated the unfolding drama.Callie’s feelings for Elias, Dylan’s loyalty—everything hinged on the impending events.With Elias’s demise, Carl envisioned a victorious return to the capital, where his lifelong ambi
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 274 Her Last Chance
Elias stared at Angelia coldly. ‘Don’t make what happened to you seem like it’s all Callie’s fault. You are responsible for your own life. You made a choice. You chose to frame Callie. You chose to work with Carl Conway. And now that you are no longer useful to him, be prepared to face the consequences.’Angelia bit her lip and turned away. ‘What consequences?’‘That’s for you to find out.’ Elias shook his head. ‘It’s a pity. If you had come clean yesterday, I would have helped you get away from Conway. But now you’ve dug your own grave.’He turned around to leave.Panicking, Angelia grabbed his arm. ‘Could you…could you help me, please? I swear I’ll tell you everything.’‘Too late.’ Elias removed her hand. ‘I gave you a chance. You wasted it.’***Elias left the infirmary, heading to the command division.Instead of returning to his office, he headed directly to Carl’s.He knocked and pushed the door open, finding Carl seated behind his big desk.‘General Conway.’ Elias saluted.‘Gen

‘Elias, didn’t...didn’t you hear what I said?’ Callie panted, her chest heaving. ‘I told you not to kiss me.’‘I can’t help it.’His answer was so direct that it gave her pause. ‘Still, you shouldn’t have done that. I don’t know what I got. What if it transmits through saliva? What if you get sick too?’‘Then we’ll just share a hospital room,’ Elias said softly.His eyes were filled with indescribable tenderness.With his thumb, he gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks. ‘I swear I will never leave you alone again.’‘You should go.’ Callie shot a nervous glance towards the door. ‘What if they decide to lock you up, too?’‘Silly girl.’ Elias chuckled. ‘I came to bring you home. You are released.’‘Really?’ Callie was sceptical.‘Why would I lie to you? They’ve just arrested Angelia as the murderer. All charges against you are dropped.’‘Angelia? Why would she—’‘Shh. There’s plenty of time for us to talk later. But right now, let’s get you out of here.’Elias took off his coat and d

Elias’s knuckles turned white at the disturbing revelation.If what they said was true, someone must have injected the bacteria into Callie’s body.And if there was a culprit, it had to be Carl.He must have grown impatient to resort to such extremes.Elias nodded. ‘I understand. Thank you. I’ll go and keep her company.’Wendy positioned herself in front of Elias, blocking his path. ‘General Westwood, I assume you’re very busy. I will take care of her. You should go catch up on your work.’Elias raised an eyebrow. ‘Who are you to stop me?’Wendy, feeling the need to assert herself, tiptoed, making herself appear more imposing. ‘General Westwood, I’m her best friend.’‘And I’m her husband,’ Elias declared, leaving Wendy momentarily speechless.He was right; no matter the circumstances, they were still legally bound as a couple.Jamison intervened. ‘Wendy, let him in.’Elias entered Callie’s ward.She was in a deep sleep.Elias sat on the side of the bed, holding Callie’s hand.He light
