The silence that ensued was deafening.
Jiang Yao dared not imagine how devastating a total wipe out was, nor did she ask why Lu Xingzhi and Colonel Lin were back at home earlier than usual.
Nobody knew how long they stayed in each other's arms, leaning on the door for support. In the quiet house, only their breathing was heard.
Jiang Yao started sobbing. She bit her lips, and spoke softly, "Lu Xingzhi, how I wished you were a mediocre person. Why do you have to be so good at what you do?"
He would not have been involved in any of these incidents.
"My dear… Jiang Yao." Lu Xingzhi sighed. "But your husband is one of the best soldiers out there. I am leaving for Jindo City in an hour to join the rescue effort."
She knew it, she knew everything! Even if she did not ask, she knew it would come to this!
