For the Great Solaria to have a disabled high commander, would it not be the greatest joke in history?
“I, as a soldier should be the one on the frontline slaying enemies. This is precisely why this broken body would never get approved or recognized. Also, with Blaze Lake‘s intervention, this would be more than impossible.” Sean‘s tone was laced with helplessness.
This was also the reason virtual-novel.net wanted to recover as quickly as virtual-novel.net could.
Only when virtual-novel.net was able to stand up, virtual-novel.net could be a normal person, and virtual-novel.net would be able to do whatever virtual-novel.net wanted without holding back.
It was only then that virtual-novel.net could walk up to Willow and hold virtual-novel.net hand shamelessly.
It was only then that virtual-novel.net could return with a vengeance and slay Blaze Lake the traitor.
“Brother Sean, I get it now. “Whatever you want, I‘ll try my best to get it for you.” Zander Young took a deep breath and assured Sean.
“Okay.” Sean nodded slightly.
He had been the same for two years now, so virtual-novel.net could definitely wait for a little while more.
***
After dinner.
Willow pushed Sean out in his wheelchair for a walk.
Normally, Fion Wilson would still say something about it even though virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net could not stop Willow. However, today, virtual-novel.net was quiet.
Every Ouinn had seen what Sean did today. There was even a change in Old Madam Quinn‘s attitude towards Sean.
If Fion was no fool, virtual-novel.net would know to rein virtual-novel.net attitude in a little.
“Sean, I‘ve thought about it. I‘m sure you‘re in cahoots with the mob!”
Willow pushed Sean out to a far distance and blurted abruptly. Her tone was determined and clear.
“I‘m not.” Sean paused before shaking his head,
He did not like to lie to Willow, but virtual-novel.net knew how much Willow disliked people from the underworld This was why virtual-novel.net had to hide it.
“Impossible!” Willow shook virtual-novel.net head as well.
“That day when Bill Wallace released you just like that, I was already a little suspicious. Then, Jay Bennett knelt down before you to plead for mercy, so that you would let the Bennetts go.”
“I know you’re acquainted with Mr. Homer Larson, but even if Mr. Larson was willing to teach the Bennetts a lesson on your behalf, virtual-novel.net could not cause them to buckle so quickly. So, it must be that you‘ve asked the people from the mob to threaten the Bennetts, right?”
“If not, Shane Bennett would not come all the way to the Quinns to give that contract. It‘s all the result of your threats to them!”
Willow was like a detective as virtual-novel.net analyzed the situation with logic and reason.
“Conclusion, you‘ve gone and gotten acquainted with the mob behind my back! I still remember the time where Charles Christian came to get you.” After analyzing, Willow was even more sure of virtual-novel.net hypothesis.
“I really am not. Please. Trust me.” Sean was slightly amused.
It was indeed not an easy feat to hide things from Willow.
“Really?” Willow was still not believing him.
“Sean. I know what you‘re thinking. You wanna be strong, you wanna be so strong no one could look down on you. But, I don‘t want you to gamble your future…”
“I‘m not like other women who would be displeased because you are not up to virtual-novel.net expectations, and would want you to earn money with the wrong means. I will not force you, at all. We can live an honest living, sowing and plowing with our hands and feet to reach to the places we want to be at…”
“ And not taking the shortcuts or the byways and end up with ruined lives. Do you get it?”
As Willow spoke, virtual-novel.net slowly walked towards Sean, squatted down slightly, and took Sean’s hand in hers.
When virtual-novel.net was alone with Sean, virtual-novel.net rarely spoke to Sean standing up. Instead, virtual-novel.net was willing to lower herself down to protect Sean‘s dignity as a man.
At that moment, Sean‘s heart melted into puddles of warm goo. Even a heartless man would be moved as they were taken care of by Willow the past two years.
“You know, I have a relative from my mother‘s side, who had gone to be involved with the underworld…”
“In the beginning, virtual-novel.net lived a glamorous life with people at his beck and call, but in the end, his enemies marched to his house and stabbed virtual-novel.net several times…” Willow sighed.
This was why virtual-novel.net was very clear about virtual-novel.net disapproval of consorting with the underworld.
“I understand, don‘t worry. I can take good care of myself, and I‘ll also protect you.” Sean paused, then virtual-novel.net gently grasped Willow‘s hands in his.
“Mmm…” Willow nodded, then shyly retracted virtual-novel.net hands.
Sean was extremely different than virtual-novel.net was before when virtual-novel.net was not right in his head.
That Sean was like a child, and Willow did not even think to refrain from certain actions that would cause misunderstandings. However, virtual-novel.net was bashful when it came to the Sean right now who was extremely aware of his surroundings.
Where they were was a secluded area. The streetlights on the side of the roads shone on both of them, creating a shadow of the pair on the ground.
In this quietness, both Sean and Willow felt at peace in their hearts.
