After suffering from a miscarriage, I've gotten rid of all the habits that my military husband, Nathan Linwood, despises. No longer do I ask him about his whereabouts. He can spend the night elsewhere for all I care. When I get hurt in a rescue mission, the doctor tells me to inform my family about my condition. I merely shake my head and say, "I don't have any family." But Nathan still arrives at the scene half an hour later. The tall and broad-shouldered man looks at me, his voice extremely cold. "Why didn't you seek me out when you got hurt?" I lower my gaze. "It's just a minor injury. There's no need to trouble you at all, Commander Linwood." For some reason, my nonchalant tone annoys Nathan. He's about to open his mouth when a conversation between the guards floats into our ears. "Commander Linwood sure is concerned about Ms. Schuman. When she twisted her ankle during a performance, Commander Linwood had a helicopter rerouted to the venue immediately. He even carried her into and out of the helicopter, refusing to let her feet touch the ground at all." Nathan's expression shifts into one of nervousness immediately. He glances at me from the corner of his eye, seemingly waiting for me to demand answers from him or kick up a fuss like usual. But my eyelashes barely flutter at the conversation. All I do is close my eyes and rest. Ten days later, I won't have anything to do with everything that's going on here.

Bruno was standing in front of my parents' photograph, gently wiping the frames. "Bruno."He turned around and smiled at me. "Are you here to say goodbye to your parents?""Yeah." Standing shoulder to shoulder, we gazed at the youthful faces of my parents in the photographs."When your mother was seven months along with you, she refused to stop flying," he noted out of nowhere. "We all advised her to ground herself and wait for the delivery, but she said that in an urgent mission, the absence of one pilot might demand the sacrifice of dozens of our comrades."In the end, she was called upon in an hour of peril. She took off while injured and completed the mission." He turned around to hold my gaze. "Her water broke the moment she landed, and you were born in the airport infirmary."Tears welled up in my eyes."Vivian, come back safely," Bruno said solemnly. "Your parents are watching over you from above.""I will." I raised my hand in a crisp salute. "For them, and for the

I took off my helmet. "Tell him I'm training, and I don't have time for him.""He said it's urgent. It's about the divorce agreement."I fell silent for a few seconds. "Take him to the reception room."When I pushed open the door to the reception room, Nathan was standing in front of the window with his back to the entrance. When he heard footsteps approaching, he spun around.I hadn't seen him in six months. He had lost a lot of weight, and the dark circles under his eyes were incredibly heavy. His military uniform actually looked a bit loose on him. "Viv…" His voice was terribly raspy. I closed the door and sat on the couch furthest from him. "Commander Linwood, the divorce report should have been approved by now. If this is about the paperwork, please contact the Political Department.""I didn't sign it." He strode over and crouched down in front of me before looking up at me. "I didn't sign it, Viv. We're still husband and wife.""After two full years of separation, a mil

By the time the military transport plane landed at the Riverdale Military Airfield, night had long since fallen. Carrying my duffel bag down the airstair, I was hit by a gust of freezing wind, thick with an unfamiliar, damp chill."Major Tomlinson!" From a distance, an old military officer with graying hair at his temples strode over. The general stars on his epaulets gleamed softly under the lights. He came to a halt right in front of me, raised his hand, and gave me a standard military salute. "I'm Bruno Black, the deputy commander of the Riverdale Military District. "Your father, Nigel, was a classmate of mine at the military academy, and your mother, Yvette, was personally scouted and recruited into the flight squadron by me after I conducted her evaluation."I snapped to attention and returned the salute, but my throat felt as though something had lodged inside it. "Colonel Black…""Call me Bruno." He lowered his hand and let his gaze fall on my face, studying me closely.

I didn't look back. In fact, I quickened my pace. All of a sudden, my crutch slipped, and I pitched forward, crashing to the floor. The burn on my arm started bleeding again. The fall was too hard. It felt as if something in my chest had shattered completely. I clenched my teeth, digging my fingernails into my palms, but the waterworks began despite myself. Growing up, I dreaded holidays the most. When I watched the warm light spill out of other people's windows and heard the laughter echoing from inside, envy hacked away at my flesh like a dull knife. Nathan knew better than anyone that this was my most painful scar. Yet, just to comfort Veronica, he tore that scar open again and again with his own hands. He rushed over and scooped me up, anger straining his voice. "Why do you have to be so goddamn obstinate, Vivian?"As soon as his words fell, a thermos came flying through the air. In the blink of an eye, scalding soup splashed all over my face, and my forehead rapidly swe

Thick smoke choked my lungs, and my vision gradually blurred. Before my consciousness sank into darkness, the last things I heard were the footsteps of Nathan rushing out while carrying Veronica and the faint sound of sirens approaching from the distance. …When I came to, I was already lying in

With ice-cold fingertips, I held that file. After hanging up the call from the military commission, I found myself walking to the window as if possessed. Nathan held Veronica tightly in his arms in the yard downstairs. "I'm so sorry, Veron. Vivian's emotionally unstable, and she has psychological

Just then, my phone vibrated, pulling me out of my memories. "Major Tomlinson, I'm calling to let you know that your biological parents' personal effects have been cleared, and all survivor benefits claims have been approved. When are you available to come in and finalize the paperwork?"I pulled

After I climbed into Nathan Linwood's car, he explained slowly, "Those people are just spouting nonsense. I'm on official business. I invited Veron to perform for the troops, so of course, I have to take care of her now that she's injured."I hummed in response and fell silent.He abruptly snapped
