Chapter 321 Things in Those Days

Charles gently and carefully embraced her, as if she were his fragile prized possession.

Looking at the girl in his arms, Charles still felt like he was in a dream.

"Linda, how have you been?" Charles asked in a shaky voice.

"I am okay." Hundreds of words welled up in her heart, but she could only utter these three words. She didn't have to explain what she had gone through. She knew that Charles already had an idea of her suffering.

"How have you been? I want the truth. Where have you been? Why didn't you come back? Do you even know how much I missed you?"

Charles said, with tears in his eyes.

We are all good at military skills. In the final round of the competition, only Robert, Adam, and I were left. Only one of us would win the first prize. To be honest, Robert and I didn't care because we didn't need the rank anyway. But Adam took it seriously. He wanted Robert to get the prize, so he went in the restricted area when I was shooting. And then I accidentally shot him on his..."
