บท 1083: Two missions at the same time (8)

In the living room…

Aiden looked at the blood stained shirt with mixed emotions.

It reminded him of the evening after the White corp. annual meeting. So far, he was unable to remember the event when Evalina attacked them, but now some images flashed in his mind: Sarah and he walking… there was some music… Evalina was pointing a gun at him, but he had no intention to move. Why? There was a sensation of the warmth on his back. Was Sarah behind him? That would explain why he suppressed his instincts for survival…

"Sorry, Boss…", Haru's words pulled him out of his thoughts.

Aiden looked at Haru absentmindedly. "What are you sorry about?"

"I was not fast enough. Nala was in danger and I ended up getting shot."

"You were lucky. Use all this as a motivation to train harder... You acted swiftly with a goal to protect the woman you love. You did good.", Aiden comforted him at the end.
