Captain Anderson sighed and remarked, “It’s no surprise that you’d put everything on the line to pursue him. Moccan is also a ruthless person who will go to any length for vengeance. If I were in your shoes, I think I would have done the same thing.”

Yes, Richard realized he needed to make it back to safety right then. However, he was compelled to take this life threatening risk out of concern for protecting his loved ones.

Angela was wide awake and energized even though it was nearly midnight. An hour before Richard’s flight landed, a car arrived to take her to Scarlet’s house. The two had agreed to go pick him up together at the airport.

Two SUVs were waiting for them when they arrived at Scarlet’s house. Angela and Scarlet were in one car as it moved through the dark night toward the military base airport.

It was fifteen minutes before the landing when Captain Anderson told Richard, “I’ve already contacted the base to get a wheelchair for you.”

Knowing that Angela would be waiting to welcome him, Richard’s dashing brow furrowed, and he asked, “Can you find a crutch for me instead?”

“Are there any differences between crutches and a wheelchair? Crutches will cause you more pain.” Captain Anderson was at a loss for words.

“Yes, there is. People may assume that both of my legs are severely injured if I am in a wheelchair. At least with crutches, I can prove that one of my legs is still fine, Richard joked.

“You truly are impossible to please.” Captain Anderson snorted lightly and got up to get him crutches.

Angela was restless in the airport lounge, as she paced up up and down. I’ve been told that he fractured his leg. How bad is it? She was desperate to see him.

After ten minutes, there was a commotion at the arrival hall. Scarlet and her husband, Walter, were still seated when she abruptly rose to her feet. Walter reassured her, “Don’t worry, Richard will be arriving shortly.”

“He’s hurt, and I have no idea how bad it is.” She was still apprehensive about her son.

Finally, a group of team members arrived in high spirits with a gray-bearded Albert and were greeted by another team. After they had gone, a new team came in, and Angela’s beautiful eyes kept staring at them. At the same time, she waited with bated breath, only to see Richard appear with crutches.

Even though he moved slowly, the rest of the team followed closely behind him and kept pace with his footstep. The next instant, Angela dashed toward him and gave him a bear hug as he continued down the hall.

He reached out and wrapped his arms around her. “Don’t worry, I’m all right.”

“How bad is your leg injury?” she asked hurriedly.

“You must be Miss Meyers! Richard’s injuries aren’t too serious. He just needs some time to get well,” Captain Anderson said. “How do you know my name?” she asked, surprised.

“Miss Meyers, our whole team knows your name. After all, you were the reason Captain Lloyd-” One of the forthright members was on the verge of spilling the beans.

Captain Anderson cut him off with a slight cough. “Because Richard informed us that you are his soon-to-be wife. That’s how we learned about you.”

Angela’s lovely face flushed. Does he have to tell everyone about our relationship? She took a step back and grabbed Richard’s arm. “I will invite you all to our wedding.”

“It will be our honor. If we can make it, we’ll definitely go.” Captain Anderson smiled cheerfully before departing with his men.

Even though the superficial injuries near Richard’s brow ridge had scabbed, she felt pain on the inside.

He looked at her as a flood of emotions welled up within him. He would not have survived the avalanche this time if it hadn’t been for the courage and confidence she gave him. So, he loved her and was grateful to her, and his gaze couldn’t help but wander from her face to her lower abdomen.

Angela blinked and then said timidly, “I’ve already taken a test, and I’m not pregnant!”

Astonished, Richard murmured with a series of smiles, “I don’t want you to be pregnant either.”

“Why?” She discovered she was not pregnant after multiple tests, which made her sad and relieved.

“Because I still want to spend more time with just the two of us. I am not prepared to be a dad just yet.” Richard realized they had spent too little time together and wished they had more alone time. He wanted to prepare a home where they could live after marrying and having a baby.

Angela’s face flushed once more at this. Still, she shared his view that they should wait until they had established themselves as a married couple before thinking about the future.

“Hello, Mom and Uncle Walter.” He greeted his mom and stepfather.

“It sounds like you need to get that leg checked out at the hospital. Stop dithering!” Scarlet was worried about him.

“I will schedule a check-up for tomorrow. It’s nothing serious,” Richard reassured her.

“Go home and get some rest! Angela, how about spending the night with us?” Scarlet asked Angela.

Feeling awkward, she nodded slightly and replied, “Okay.” She not only had a lot to say to him but also wanted to take care of him because he was hurt.

Richard got into the car with her assistance before they returned to the Husson Residence. He and Angela did not speak to one another in the car because the driver was present, but they held each other’s hands very tightly the entire time. She leaned back against his shoulders, and their cheeks were lightly touching as they took pleasure in the peaceful sensation of clinging to one another.

Richard had a room for himself upon his arrival at the Husson Residence. Scarlet kept it clean and filled it with sentimental items from his childhood, although he rarely spent time there. Tonight, he stayed in, which made Walter very happy. Despite having no children, he wanted to treat him as if he were his own son.

Since the servants hadn’t fallen asleep. they sent a scrumptious midnight snack to the third-floor living room. Scarlet was concerned that they were all hungry, so she ensured they had something to eat before turning in for the night.

This time, Richard had suffered severe injuries on the mission and needed time to heal. While Angela was eating a midnight snack with him, she attentively stared at this man under the lights, and as she did so, she felt her love for him overflow. If there is such a thing as too much love for the people you care about, it will be reserved for those few whom you love with an intensity that seems insatiable.

She admired each and every one of his traits and characteristics. This included his appearance, which all matched her preferences. It was after she had met him that she underwent such a profound transformation.

In the past, she was just a spoiled and short-tempered young lady. She only changed after she met him. And at this point in her life, she is more comfortable being herself; she respects and loves herself and is working on learning to cherish others.

“Are you full just by looking at me?” When Richard looked up at her, he saw Angela leaning her chin on her hand as if he could read her mind.

Her lips curled into a grin as she exclaimed, “I’m not only full but there’s also something aesthetically pleasing.”

“I’ve made you worried.” He apologized, remarking that he had observed that she appeared to have lost weight, which he knew must have been the result of her concern for him.

“I was worried about you. While you were away, I was at a loss as to how I should spend each day. Thank God you returned sooner than I expected,” she exclaimed cheerfully.

Back then, Richard kept rejecting the notion of being assigned a position back in his country. Now that he had found someone he wanted to spend his life with, the wanderer had finally found a reason to stay.

“I promise to be by your side as best as I can,” Richard assured her.

Angela, who knew him well, shook her head. “You don’t need to change anything for me; just be yourself. I like you because of your bravery, responsibility, and your patriotic spirit to protect the country. It’s just that I hope you don’t hide anything from me.”
