Chapter 781

Author: Ada Plus
Nicole's blunt remark left Arthur at a loss for words.

The world wouldn't end if he took a break, but the earth's crust could shift and fracture at any moment. If he could do a little more, maybe a few more people would survive.

Humanity had never faced anything like this before. If no one stepped up, they could all die.

With no family, no children, and nothing to hold him back, Arthur accepted the mission his country entrusted to him. Even after he learned he had a daughter, his responsibili

    Nicole's blunt remark left Arthur at a loss for words.The world wouldn't end if he took a break, but the earth's crust could shift and fracture at any moment. If he could do a little more, maybe a few more people would survive.Humanity had never faced anything like this before. If no one stepped up, they could all die.With no family, no children, and nothing to hold him back, Arthur accepted the mission his country entrusted to him. Even after he learned he had a daughter, his responsibility to everyone else still came first.He couldn't pretend he had no regrets, but life had a cruel way of making those choices for him. His missions cost him the woman he loved when he was young. Now, he didn't even have a chance to make up for all the years he missed with his daughter."Nicole, I'm sorry."He wanted to step down someday, too. Right now, however, there just wasn't time.Everyone made their own choices. Nicole couldn't make the same choice as Arthur, but that didn't mean he

    Nicole counted at least a dozen people waiting. From the rank insignia on their uniforms, they were all senior officers.Trevor spotted her and hurried over."He's in the hospital with stomach bleeding, and you're still piling work on him?" Nicole gave him a tight smile. "Are you trying to help him recover or work him to death?"Trevor tried to keep the work away, but there was only so much he could do. Lives depended on many of those decisions, and Arthur was the only one authorized to make the final call.Still, Arthur was in bad shape. Trevor went through the waiting requests and put off everything that could wait.Half an hour later, Nicole went into the room.Years of pushing himself past his limits finally caught up with Arthur. He was alarmingly pale. After dealing with several urgent matters, he closed his eyes to rest as his medication took effect, and exhaustion pulled him into sleep.Trevor wanted Nicole's visit to be a surprise, so Arthur didn't know she was coming.

    Arthur didn't get where he was by sharing private information with everyone he met."I'm the head nurse," Sophia repeated.Nicole didn't bother with pleasantries. "Then why are you at my door meddling in my business? You sound more like a nosy neighbor than a nurse."Sophia's expression changed. She clearly didn't expect Nicole to call her out.Nicole and Arthur had settled everything during their conversation. If he was in the hospital, he surely had no shortage of people to look after him. She had no reason to trust a stranger who showed up at her gate dropping hints about their relationship.Sophia wasn't putting on a sweet, innocent act, but she wasn't being straightforward, either. Nicole could tell she wanted something.As Nicole turned to close the gate, Sophia hurried to stop her. "Nicole, I'm telling the truth. Commander Hunt pushed himself too hard. He's in the hospital with stomach bleeding.""How is that my responsibility?" Nicole shot back. "I'm not the one who ma

    Nicole didn't intend to accept Arthur as her father, but she couldn't deny that without the storage space, she might have died years ago.It was bound to her now. She couldn't give it back even if she wanted to.Arthur knew nothing about the pendant's secret, but that didn't change how much his gift helped her.She looked at him and cleared her throat. "You don't always have to put everyone else first. You matter, too. It's okay to think about what you need once in a while. You can't take care of everyone else if you don't take care of yourself first."Her concern warmed him more than he expected. "Alright."Nicole took a deep breath, then turned to leave.On the drive back, she stared out the window, lost in thought.Back at the house in Zone B, she sat on the balcony, sipping homemade fruit wine. "The pendant was a Hunt family heirloom. Arthur had no idea what was inside it."Zeph looked at her. "What's on your mind?"Nicole couldn't exactly detach the storage space and ha

    Arthur looked at Nicole. "I can get you a place in the Ark Project. It's all I can offer you. I hope you'll take it.""Thank you, but I don't need it."Nicole didn't look at the DNA report. If Arthur was showing it to her, she had no reason to question it.She needed a father when she was a child. She didn't need one now."You don't owe me an apology," she said calmly. "You weren't there for me, but you never hurt me, either. I don't hate you, and I respect everything you've done for the people here. But being related doesn't change anything for me. I've moved on. You can let go of the guilt, too. We can go on with our lives."There was no bitterness in her voice. She wasn't looking for sympathy or trying to make him feel worse. She knew she could take care of herself. She didn't need anything from him.Arthur was relieved, but it still hurt. Nicole was his daughter, yet to her, he was a stranger.He didn't push. She was doing well, and that would have to be enough.Then he

    After paying the deposit, Nicole drove straight to the largest outdoor gear store downtown.The outdoor gear market was fiercely competitive. The store was in full clearance mode, shutting down with brutal discounts. Some items were marked down to 20% of the original price.Perfect timing.Nicole

    "Ah!"Nicole Floyd jolted upright in bed, gasping. Sweat streamed down her forehead, her eyes unfocused and hollow.The sight in front of her cut through the haze in her mind.This was her old apartment, the one from before the apocalypse.Ding, ding…Text alerts kept chiming. She grabbed her p

    Nicole didn't hesitate. She blocked Edward right away.Less than a minute later, her phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number.She didn't need to guess; this was Edward's classmate or one of his friends.Given a second chance at life, Nicole had zero interest in being taken for a fool. She w

    Nicole never expected the new resident of 1801 to be the same young man who had helped her at the courier station.He looked mildly surprised, too. He nodded once at her, then went back to work.Up close, he was striking in a cold, sharp way. He was tall and lean, with broad shoulders and clean li
