Chapter 1561: Questioning Sparkless

"Hey! You're back already?" Katie asked, seeing Ning at her doorstep. She hadn't expected him to be back this early, considering he had mentioned that he would be away for a while.

He hadn't exactly said where he would be going, only that he would be gone for a while.

"Did things not turn out well?" she asked and then her face paled. "Did something go wrong with those drug lords?" 

"Everything is going well. Thank you for worrying about me, but you need not be," Ning said and walked into the door. Inside the house, he saw Katie's military uniform on a chair, as if she had only recently taken it off.

"Did you go talk to your superior?" Ning asked.

Katie took a deep breath and nodded gently. "I'm to begin my rehabilitation sessions starting tomorrow. They say it will be a while before I go back to work, which if I do will be as a cadet."

"Congrats. That's still a big step," Ning said and sat down on the empty bed.
