LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Outside the hospital, Jun and Old Martins got into Hadwin’s car, with Felicia naturally joining them.

Only Lorelei forced a smile and said to Jun, “Jun, you go ahead and catch up with Old Martins. I have some matters to attend to at home. Once I’m done, I’ll… I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Jun smiled. “No need for a meal. After I finish catching up with Old Martins, I’ll come by your place. I heard at the Antique Pavilion that you have a sick person at home, maybe I can help.”

Jun didn’t know that Lorelei’s sister had once served in the troops, otherwise, he would have gone directly to treat her.

But even so, Jun’s attentiveness and kindness left Lorelei standing there, stunned.

Lorelei never expected Jun to bring up the matter himself.

For a moment, Lorelei didn’t know what to say, her eyes instantly reddening.

“Jun… you…”

Jun smiled and said, “No need to say more. Since you have things to handle at home, go ahead. I’ll contact you later.”

Lorelei almost burst into tears but managed to hold back her joy and said one word: “Okay!”

Jun then asked, “Is it on the way? We can give you a ride home.”

Lorelei quickly replied, “No! No need! My home is far away and not on the way.”

Jun didn’t think much of it and assumed that the patient at Lorelei’s home wasn’t in serious condition.

Lorelei then looked at Old Martins and softly said, “Old Martins, I’m heading back now. Take care of yourself!”

There seemed to be some history between Old Martins and Lorelei. Hearing Lorelei’s words, Old Martins’ face showed a hint of embarrassment as he nodded and said, “Alright, Lorelei. I’ll talk to Jun about your situation.”

Lorelei was taken aback and choked up, saying, “Thank you, Old Martins!”

Old Martins said nothing more.

As Lorelei watched the car drive away, something came to her mind, and she suddenly burst into tears.

Jun noticed Lorelei’s state through the rearview mirror and looked at Old Martins with curiosity. “Old Martins, this Lorelei…”

Old Martins sighed. “It’s a long story. This girl has had a tough life.”

Jun asked, “What’s the story?”

Old Martins recounted Lorelei and her sister’s situation to Jun.

After hearing it, Jun felt a pang in his heart. “You mean Lorelei’s sister used to be in the troops? She got into an accident while visiting home and became a vegetative state?”

Old Martins nodded. “Yes, that’s the case. Yanis had just joined the troops when the accident happened. Her sister Lorelei is too proud to ask for help from the troops, thinking she could handle it herself.”

Jun frowned. “A member of the South Capital troops got injured while saving someone! And because her family didn’t want to trouble the troops, they just left it at that?”

Old Martins smiled wryly. “Jun, you’re mistaken. The leader of the South Capital troops was once a subordinate of our nation’s protector in Lordran. He wouldn’t act so irresponsibly!”

“Back then, when South Capital troops went to help Lorelei and were refused, they dealt with the thugs who hurt her sister directly!”

“They knew Lorelei worked at my store and entrusted me to take care of her and Yanis. They even gave a large sum of money for Yanis’ treatment! But before I was hospitalized, I always helped them under the guise of lending money.”

“Otherwise, with Lorelei’s pride, she wouldn’t accept the money!”

“And you don’t understand Lorelei, she thought I was interested in her because I gave her money and even considered marrying me… So what could I say?”

“Sigh… she doesn’t know that while I did contribute some money, most of it came from the logistics department of the South Capital troops. Later, I wanted to explain this to her properly but fell ill and ended up in the hospital!”

“And this misunderstanding has persisted ever since. Otherwise… I wouldn’t have been so embarrassed facing her just now! I genuinely see her as a junior! But she expressed her feelings out of gratitude!”

“This situation… But now it’s better! With you here, even if her sister doesn’t wake up, there’s hope for some recovery!”

Jun nodded solemnly. “I see!”

Old Martins looked deeply at Jun and asked, “Jun, where did you learn your extraordinary medical skills? It’s truly impressive!”

Jun’s mind wasn’t on that but entirely focused on Lorelei’s sister Yanis. He immediately told Hadwin, who was driving, “Turn around, I need to wake Yanis up first!”

Hadwin respectfully replied, “Yes, Lord Chester.”

Old Martins was slightly stunned by Hadwin’s address for Jun.

Before Old Martins could say anything, Jun apologized, “Old Martins, we’ll have the wontons later. Yanis is a hero of the troops and needs saving immediately!”

Old Martins didn’t hesitate and said, “Alright! Go save her! Jun, you’re doing the right thing! A true hero serves the nation and its people! Even though you’ve roamed freely in the past, compared to the soldiers of the troops, it’s somewhat insignificant!”

“If possible, I’d suggest you serve in the troops! That’s where true experts gather!”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Of course, I speak plainly, you might prefer freedom over the constraints of the troops. But today’s troops… are where real men should be!”

Up until now, Old Martins didn’t know that Jun sitting beside him was actually Lordran’s protector!

Jun didn’t explain either.

But at that moment, Hadwin received a call.

It was from James, Lordran’s supreme leader.

Upon answering.

James got straight to the point. “I’ve arrived at South Capital. Where is Lord Chester?”

Hadwin immediately replied, “Lord Chester is in my car.”

Saying this, Hadwin activated the car’s Bluetooth.

James’ voice instantly filled the car.

“Let him take the call!”

Jun smiled and said, “You might have to wait a bit. I’m heading somewhere to save someone right now.”

James responded decisively, “Then go ahead, I’ll wait for you at the South Capital administrative building.”

Jun calmly replied, “Alright.”

James promptly hung up.

At this moment, Old Martins’ face showed an expression of utter shock.

Because…

He often saw James on TV and frequently heard his speeches, James’ voice was very familiar!

Old Martins hesitantly asked, “Jun, the person on the phone just now… why does his voice sound so much like James?”
