"Is Melissa here yet?"
"Not yet."
Ernesto hurriedly answered the call from Samuel.
"What's going on?"
Samuel felt that it was not as simple as all that.
Ernesto whispered, "The plane ran into strong turbulence and couldn't get here. So it was forced to
land in H city."
Samuel frowned in deep thought.
He knew that the weather was, for sure, uncontrollable. What he was afraid of was that Major would
take the opportunity to make trouble.
"How's the situation on Major's end?"
"He did nothing. Major must have known that Lillian had been taken by Zayn, and he now might be in
Country F working out how to save her. After all, Lillian, his aunt, is much more important than his
girlfriend. What's more, Major knows well what will happen if Lillian is caught by Zane. So I don't think
there's much chance that Major will hijack the plane."
Ernesto said what he thought.
However, Samuel whispered, "But that doesn't mean he won't do it. He's in H city, isn't he? Ask Fill to
send someone over to check it out."
"Who is Fill?"
Ernesto was confused.
Samuel then realized that the person standing in front of him was Ernesto, not Jacob.
Ernesto was a quick learner. But he had just started working as his assistant, so he didn't know much
about many things. While Jacob had fought with him on the battlefield, so he was, naturally, more
aware of some personal relationships.
Now, Samuel suddenly didn't know how to explain to Ernesto who Fill was.
"Forget about it. I'll call him myself. You go ask our people to keep a close eye on Major. And I'll handle
the issue here."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Samuel put on a serious look.
Jacob!
Samuel thought to himself, "When will you regain consciousness? Jacob!"
Samuel sighed, picked up the phone and dialed the number he hadn't dialed in a long time.
"Boss, do you know what time it is? It's 3:30 in the morning! What's the matter with you today? Call me
at this hour?"
Fill yawned and complained. Samuel put on a more serious look when he heard this.
"Don't you know I'm in jail?"
"Those people are unable to control you. You can easily escape from the international prison, not to
mention that small police station. Boss, you're trying to fool me. Besides, you've escaped from prison
now, haven't you?"
Fill said mischievously.
Sam felt that he had indulged him too much.
"Can't you offer to help me without me asking you?"
"Boss, who are you? You are God. You don't need me."
Fill continued make fun of Samuel.
"Cut the crap. I have a task for you."
"Yes, sir."
Fill immediately showed some restraint.
"Ask your men to bring Melissa back from H city to the Seapolis City. I'll send you the photo of her later.
Do not make it look like a handover, but a hijacking."
"Oh my Goodness! Boss, what are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Fill felt very excited.
"Can I use a weapon?"
"Don't you understand what I mean by hijacking a plane? I mean you should act like a mercenary or a
terrorist."
Samuel thought that Fill had got too much time on his hands recently. He even had spare time to show
off his joking talent in front of him.
Fill did not know what Samuel was planning. He smiled and said, "Sounds good. But if I get into trouble
later, boss, you must help me."
"Do not hurt anyone unrelated. As for helping you, well, I will see what the situation is."
As soon as Samuel finished, he hung up because he couldn't stand Fill anymore.
He sent him a photo of Melissa and a message.
"Take care of the business at hand and then come to the Seapolis City. I have a task for you."
"Okay."
Fill replied carelessly.
Within two hours, word came from Ernest that Melissa had been taken hostage. It seemed that the
robbers weren't sent by Major. These skillful robbers were equipped with advanced weapons and they
even injured more than half of Major's men.
Samuel said indifferently, "Issue a wanted warrant."
"Yes, sir!"
When that was done, Samuel picked up the medicine chest and went into the bedroom.
Nicole was still asleep, and the worried look on her face disappeared. Her red face was so beautiful
and appealing.
Samuel involuntarily swallowed. He really wanted to have sex with her again, but when he thought
about Nicole's physical condition, he restrained that desire. Then he lost in deep thought.
He untied Nicole's clothes and saw that the wound on her back was red and swollen, not scabbed. He
knew that she had not rested well since returning to the Seapolis City.
Samuel sighed and gently applied medicine to her.
Although Nicole was asleep, she could still feel the pain. She mumbled subconsciously, "Ashley, be
gentle. I'm not your husband."
Samuel hesitated for a moment before managing a smile. Then his movement became much gentler.
After that, Samuel went to the bathroom with his phone.
He dialed a number.
"What the hell happened? It's midnight!"
Blair said impatiently.
Samuel smiled and said, "Are you busy now?"
"Do I need to report to you? Samuel, we're equals. Do you understand? By the way, our boss, Emory,
let me to ask you that since you're not being stripped of your rank, when you are going to return to the
army. And, you came back so quickly. I thought you were going to stay there for another month."
As Blair lit a cigarette, a woman's voice whispered beside him, "Smoking again? Didn't you say you'd
given up smoking?"
"It's all Samuel fault. He cannot stand the pain. When his headache was unbearable, he would ask me
for a cigarette. I was totally influenced by him."
Samuel couldn't help laughing when he heard Blair framing him in front of him.
"Put out your cigarette and go out. I'm sleepy."
"Okay, good night."
After getting dressed, Blair got out of bed, opened the door and walked out.
"Did you hear that? My wife threw me out of the house because of you. What did you want to see me
about?"
"Give me an operation tomorrow."
Samuel's words took Blair by surprise.
"What's wrong with you? Samuel, can you stop acting based on impulse? You're lucky to have your
wife Nicole with you. If you go on like this, maybe she will really leave you. When I went after Gabrielle,
I wasn't like you."
Blair's words made Samuel feel a little bit guilty.
"You think so too?"
"So what? You have to make your wife feel that way. Well, what kind of operation do you want me to do
for you?"
"Ligation operation."
Samuel's words surprised Blair again.
"What? Have you made up your mind? I remember you weren't with your wife when she was pregnant,
right? It is true that you have a son and a daughter now. But have you ever been with your wife from
pregnancy to delivery? Have you really decided not to have another child with your wife? If your wife
gets pregnant again, you can make up for it."
"Life is full of regrets. And I have no one to blame for this regret. It's all my own fault. I can't let Nicole
pay for my mistake. To be honest, the last time she got pregnant, I was really happy. But in the end
Nicole had a miscarriage, which meant that I and that baby were not meant for one another. I watched
Nicole being wheeled into the operating room, covered in blood and I don't think I'll ever forget that
scene. Moreover, I think, physically, she's just not back. If I had to choose between making up for my
regret and Nicole, I'd rather live with that regret for the rest of my life. I had made up my mind the last
time she had a miscarriage. Just schedule an operation for me."
Samuel said wistfully with a low voice.
Blair was silent for a while before he said, "Come to my operating room tomorrow morning at seven
o'clock. It is a minimally invasive surgery and it won't take you long. You can go as soon as the
operation is done. I don't think you want your wife to know about this, do you? Then you'd better listen
to me this time. Don't have sex with your wife for at least half a month. You'd better take what I say
seriously. If you get infected later, do not come to me. It is so humiliating."
Then Blair hung up the phone
Samuel gave a wry smile.
If he had known that he couldn't have sex with Nicole for two weeks, he should have had Blair do the
operation for him while he was at the police station. Now it was harder for him to control his desires. He
was watching every day and couldn't eat. He had to think of a reason to keep Nicole from discovering
the truth.
It was too hard for him.
Samuel had made up his mind, and he believed there was no difficulty that could not be overcome.
He was about to leave the bathroom when Blair called again.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else you want me to know?"
"Think about Emory's question carefully. Back then, you left the army to protect the blueprints, but now
you still have your military status and rank. Now the matter is over and there are many talented people
in the military region. Our boss said you should come back as soon as you finish the work at hand."
Hearing that, Samuel was caught in a dilemma.
To be honest, he preferred to stay in the army.
The army was a place free of plots. In the army, as long as you were self-motivated, you could make
your own way.
He had long wanted to return to that clean and pure world.
The thought of Nicole being left to raise the children and live a widow's life when he left was a little
painful to him.
Samuel peered through the glass door at Nicole, who was fast asleep in bed, and whispered, "I'm not
going back."
"Samuel, look, you should think about it carefully. You can be a major if you go back to the army now.
Two more years of hard work and you'll be a lieutenant colonel. You then would be able to help Lucas
in the army, wouldn't you? It would be a pity if you chose to be released from military service now."
With that, Samuel gave a wee smile.
"At that time, Gabrielle was in the hospital, hovering between life and death, you said you'd never be a
doctor again, didn't you?"
Samuel remark brought Blair up short with a jerk.
He suddenly understood something.
"Every hero fails to pull through beauty pass."
"So, Mr. Blair, do you regret your career change?"
"Nope."
Blair said crisply.
Samuel felt much relieved.
"Emory is the perfect person to defend our countries. Brief is the spirit of a hero, but love between man
and woman is long. So now I just want to spend the rest of my life with my wife and children."
