Chapter 22 What Kind Of Person Is He
"Noel, this is from the top-"
"Don't say that, Uncle Fred. I don't know others, but I certainly know about you. Whether they could stay or not is your call." Noel didn't even give the General any chance to speak. What he needed to do was to make the four of their soldiers stay in the army.
The General looked at Noel with displeasure on his face. "You're a soldier, Noel. Mind your manners. Then he stood up and picked up the document. "Do you think I don't know their contribution to the country? But Noel, we are both soldiers. I know it's not easy for you to train an elite, but you can't ignore their lives because of this. These are their physical examination reports. You can read it yourself." Then he picked up another document.
Noel took a look at Fred and took over the reports. He was aware that no soldier was able to walk out of the battlefield in one piece. They wouldn't care about it unless they really suffered from some serious diseases.
"Noel, in the military exercise, if they feel sick, they can stop at any time. We have military doctors. But you know better than me that what you guys have experienced is the battle of life or death. But if they feel sick while carrying out the mission, do you know what would happen?" This was not only their own business, but even a team could be implicated.
Even in a fit of anger, Noel understood what the General meant. He turned around and left with the reports in his hand. Fred shook his head. He had driven away his elites more than once. He knew how it felt. But the army was not hell, and they were not devils. They could not ignore human lives.
When Charles and Timothy received the news from Noel, both of them were in the hospital. Lori eyes were still red from crying because she just broke up with her boyfriend. Seeing the soldier who came to tell them the news leave, she sniffed and looked at them.
Holding her hand, Charles stood up and looked at Timothy. "Since boss said so, I think it's a foregone conclusion. Have a good rest and stop thinking about it. It's not your fault." There was one soldiers leaving in Noel's team, one in Charles's team, but two in Timothy's. He must be more depressed than them.
Timothy nodded expressionlessly. He didn't know that his soldiers had hidden things from him so deeply that he had never known that those people were in such a bad health condition.
Seeing that the Charles was about to leave, Lori obediently looked at the man on the bed and said, "Goodbye, Timothy." She still needed Charles to help her beat up that guy who dared to dump her, so they needed to hurry up and leave.
After watching them leave, Timothy got out of bed. As soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by his mother. "Timothy, where are you going? Can you just have a good rest on the bed?" His son finally agreed to come back to see a doctor, so his mother was able to take good care of him.
Feeling depressed, Timothy looked at his mother and said in a low voice, "Mom, I'm fine. I'll stay in the villa for a few days." Staying in the hospital would make him more and more annoyed. He was supposed to have a good rest, and he couldn't calm himself down here.
As long as her son didn't go back to the army, her mother would promise her son everything. She didn't need to worry because the helps would take care of him in the villa. When Jacob fell asleep, Noel hadn't come back home yet. Looking at her son, Yvonne tucked him in and called Emma to tell her that she was fine and in the army now.
"Oh, thank God you are fine. I didn't know what happened last night until I went to find you guys today. I called you this morning, but you didn't answer," Emma spoke as soon as she picked up the phone. Knowing that her friend was fine, Emma was relieved. "Well, by the way, honey, are you with Mr. Cheng now?" 'She must have gone to the army with Mr. Cheng. Tut-tut, did it mean that they would have a chance in the future?' Emma thought.
Thinking of the scene that she was dragged to this place by him forcibly today, she felt a little embarrassed. "No, I'm just here to pick up Jacob."
"I see. Why don't you go back home then? It's late at night." Emma continued to tease her. She knew that this girl must be flushing now.
Yvonne was speechless. She would love to leave, but Noel was not there. She didn't even know where the gate of the base was. Even if she knew it, she couldn't go out. The guards wouldn't let her go. "What have you been doing lately? You're so busy that I can barely talk to you." Yvonne hadn't seen Emma for a long time.
"Oh, don't make me start it. I have been dealing with several lawsuit recently, which made me headache." Emma said and just opened the door of her house, "Would your 'jailer' let you out tomorrow? Let's hang out. I'm available tomorrow."
"Why should I ask him? Where should we meet? I'll finish tomorrow's draft first-" Before she could finish her words, she suddenly realized that it was not her home and she didn't bring her laptop with her. She looked around and found that there was no computer here. She hadn't sent today's text yet. "Emma. What should I do? I haven't post my text yet. I'm going to lose my full-attendance bonus!"
Hearing her nearly crying voice, Emma could not help but roll her eyes. "Your man is so rich. Do you still need your pay for the draft? It's several hundred anyway." It was just equal to Noel's salary for one day. "He is not " Yvonne retorted. Why did everyone think they were a couple? They had nothing to do with each other except for their son.
"I don't want to talk about such a boring thing with you. You have no choice on this matter. I got my laptop here. Which chapter? I'll send it for you." No matter what happened, Emma would always choose to give her friend a helping hand. All the texts written by Yvonne were saved in the cloud disk, for fear that there would be an emergency. Emma knew it clearly that Yvonne was afraid that the quality of her son's life would decline if she lost the hundreds of pay. Emma's heart was filled with pity and concern for her. Therefore, even though Emma knew that Noel appeared and he would definitely take care of them, she still decided to help her.
"Thank you, Emma. The chapter is titled 'Military Marriage'." Yvonne thanked her sincerely. When she heard the sound of door opening, she looked up and saw Noel coming in. Her body trembled slightly subconsciously. "I'm hanging up, sweetie. Remember to post the text for me." Looking at Noel's face, which was even worse than when he left, she thought of what those women had said, and then spoke carefully, "You, you are fine-"
Before she could finish her words, she was held into Noel's arms. She was stunned but she could clearly feel helplessness and even guilt from him. Instead of pushing him away, she gently patted him on the back and asked, "Are you okay?"
Noel buried his head in her neck and shook his head. He was not good at all. He had never known that the disease of his soldier had deteriorated to this extent. He didn't know if things went on like that, his solider might never be able to stand up. It was all his fault.
Yvonne was not tall, about 1.65 meter tall, while Noel was 1.83 meter tall. So now he bent down and pressed all the weight on her. She felt a pain in her waist, but she didn't push him away because she thought he was more upset than her or maybe it was because she didn't want him to leave.
It was not until sweat dripped from her forehead that Noel felt her body trembling slightly. In order to support his body, she had been leaning back slightly all the time. Suddenly, he stood straight and carried her into the bedroom. "You're too weak. Why don't you tell me?"
Yvonne's face was a little pale and she smiled awkwardly. How could she say anything to ask him to get up since he was so upset? She was put down by Noel. And he started to massage her waist with his big hand.
Yvonne wanted to stop him, but when she turned around and saw the serious expression on his face, she turned her head back silently, with her hands under her chin, letting him relax her waist. Noel could almost hold her whole waist with his hands. She seemed to be thinner than before. At that night, he had thought about whether her waist would be broken after the passionate sex.
"Too thin," he said in a low voice.
"What?" Yvonne was still thinking about something, so she didn't hear clearly what he was saying.
Looking at the confused look on her face, Noel was no longer depressed. He leaned over her back and said, "Eve, you are so thin. Why didn't you break your waist when we had sex that year?" Yvonne didn't understand at first, but after all, she had written romantic novels for so many years. The next second, her face darkened, and she couldn't push him away with her back to him. She could only struggle. "Hey, get off."
Noel turned around and held her in his arms, letting her lie on his chest. "Eve, am I an inhuman person?" He turned off the light and said lightly. The darkness perfectly concealed the depression in his eyes. "What?" Yvonne's mouth twitched. She wondered if he would beat her if she told the truth. Sometimes he was really self-righteous.
Noel lowered his head and could still see her bright eyes in the darkness. "Tell me, you can say anything you want today." He couldn't ask anyone else about this question. It seemed that he had no one to talk to except her.
Yvonne lowered her head, leaned against his arms and said, "I hate it when you threaten me with Jacob every time."
"Okay," Noel agreed kindly. Then he didn't have to threaten her with their son anymore. He would find another way.
Yvonne opened her mouth slightly, feeling surprised. She didn't expect him to be so easy-going today. She shrank her neck and asked, "Do you really don't want them to leave?" That was why he behaved so strangely today.
How could he be willing to? He patted her on the back and said, "let's stop talking. Go to sleep." Anyway, they would come tomorrow.
Yvonne, who had adapted to the darkness, saw him close his eyes. At this moment, all his tiredness was shown on his face. It was this act that almost made Yvonne put down her guard immediately. People would only have this expression in front of the person they trusted.
Did it mean that Noel also cared for her and trusted her? Then she got closer to him. Although they were not happy at the beginning, he was better than anyone else around her when he was nice to her.
