Chapter 237 "...Too Light"
Inside the ward——
The marshal, who finally took off his protective suit, was sitting on the edge of the bed, feeding his girlfriend water bit by bit.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and it was quickly opened.
Tong Wanwan looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Mr. Eli who came to visit her with Daya and Savannah, and Mr. Tracy following behind them.
“Wanwan!”
Eli's usually cheerful and clear voice was tainted with a nasal sound, like a pitiful puppy that was about to cry at any moment. He choked out, "You're finally awake!"
"Sister Wanwan!" The two children were so excited that they wanted to jump over.
When Daya and Savannah learned that Tong Wanwan had been murdered and was in a coma, they felt as if the world had fallen and they wished they could stay in her hospital bed every day to take care of her.
"Sir Elvis." Tracy nodded to the silver-haired marshal first, then smiled and greeted the girl on the hospital bed who looked in good condition, "Wanwan."
Tong Wanwan was in a good mood, as if she had eaten a whole piece of soft sweet cake.
"You guys are here!"
When she smiled, the whole ward was brightened.
After the two children came, the other three men no longer felt present.
However, they weren't bored either. The brother and sister were hanging out with Tong Wanwan, while Tracy and Eli were asking Elvis about the parallel universe.
"So all of this is the work of the defector Fayi..." Tracy pondered for a moment, her eyes darkening slightly. "It's only Fayi from the parallel universe who died. Fayi from our world... after this incident, I'm afraid he'll go into even deeper hiding."
Eli rarely suppressed his smile, and a small frown appeared between his brows.
"No matter how deep he hides, we must find him, otherwise..." The blond major general turned his eyes to look at Tong Wanwan, who sat up and held the two children in her arms to comfort them. He pursed his lips and paused.
Although he didn't finish his words, both Elvis and Tracy knew what he meant by the second half of his sentence.
As long as Fayi is alive, what happened in the parallel universe may happen again.
We must find him as soon as possible, and...
The final battle with the Zerg must also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
The longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.
"This matter concerns the safety of the Federation Planet. The Kylo family will never stand idly by." Tracy promised.
"So does Ricardo," Eli raised his paw in approval.
Miraculously, because of the bad things that happened one after another, the relationship between the two of them and Marshal Ives was not as rigid as it was at the beginning.
They gradually realized that
Elvis is not as unapproachable as he appears.
On the contrary, as long as you don't touch his bottom line, he is easy to talk to.
And his bottom line...
Tracy glanced at Tong Wanwan, who was talking and laughing, without leaving any trace.
Coincidentally, the black-haired girl just raised her head and her smiling eyes met his gaze.
Tracy paused.
The next second, Tong Wanwan's gaze shifted slightly and fell on the person next to him.
Tracy's body stiffened for a moment and then relaxed in an instant, with inexplicable complex emotions running through her heart.
"Mr. Eli." Tong Wanwan remembered the instructions of another Eli in a parallel universe.
"Eh?!" Eli was a little surprised when he was called, "What's wrong, Wanwan?"
If this world were a comic book, the major general would have transformed into a pair of dog ears that were shaking back and forth, full of joy and anticipation.
Tong Wanwan recalled, "Mr. Eli from the parallel universe, let me bring you a message."
Eli: “……!”
I heard that in a parallel universe, I was a fourth-generation marshal!
Could it be some powerful federal secret or something?
Elvis's expression darkened, and he suddenly interrupted, "He said 'come on.'"
Eli: “…Huh?”
He stood there dumbfounded. "Just a word of encouragement?"
Elvis glanced at his girlfriend and saw her lips slightly parted, as if she was about to say the second half of the sentence "Only when you take the initiative can there be stories." He spoke before her, "Also, be more proactive at work."
Eli: “!!”
The major general suffered a severe blow.
Is his idol questioning his ability to work...
"Don't be lazy all the time." Elvis hit the point with a fierce tone.
This time, Eli really felt depressed.
He said aggrievedly: "I understand, Lord Ives..."
Tong Wanwan seemed to be thinking about something.
So this is what Mr. Eli in the parallel universe meant by "initiative"?
Tracy coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Wanwan can be discharged from the hospital, right? Can she still take care of the courses in the military academy?"
Tong Wanwan nodded. "It's okay. The class teacher will send the teaching videos to each student's laptop regularly. I can watch the videos and study on my own, then slowly catch up."
Tracy pondered, "I heard that the level one assessment has been postponed to the end of the month, which happens to be the day after tomorrow. Do you still want to participate?"
"Yes." Tong Wanwan did not hesitate.
"Come on, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me..." Sensing an unexpected cold light falling on her, Tracy's smile paused, and she quickly said, "We."
"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Tracy."
Without turning her head to look, Tracy could guess who was looking at her with that cold glance.
"Then let's go back." Tong Wanwan suggested.
No one likes to stay in the hospital room all the time.
Moreover, the overly white environment would make her think of...
Another "her" in a parallel universe suffered psychological torture in the empty and pale laboratory.
Seeing through Tong Wanwan's emotions in an instant, Elvis reached out and helped her stand up.
The next second, he leaned over slightly, without saying hello, and suddenly picked up Tong Wanwan carefully and carried her horizontally, using the princess hug posture to steadily lead her out of the ward.
Leave the others behind.
Tong Wanwan: “!”
Eli and Tracy: "..."
Tong Wanwan was startled by the sudden move and subconsciously put her arms around her boyfriend's neck.
When he raised his eyes, he happened to meet two pairs of slightly dimmed and quickly turned away gazes behind Elvis.
Tong Wanwan: “?”
Is it because Mr. Marshal's actions are too... too bold?
So even Mr. Tracy and Mr. Eli couldn't stand it anymore.
After thinking about it, Tong Wanwan opened her lips, wanting Elvis to let her go, but she accidentally saw the slightly red tips of the Marshal's ears between his hair, with a normal expression and cold eyes. She suddenly choked on the rejection in her throat.
After a while, she pursed her lips, resisted the urge to smile, and buried her head in the other's broad and warm chest.
Anyway, if you can't see her face, it won't be her who is embarrassed and shy.
All the way from the top floor to the entrance of the medical center, Tong Wanwan always felt that she heard a lot of doctors gasping and whispering.
She also wore Elvis's dark coat.
The white sandalwood enveloped her, a pleasant and safe scent.
Mr. Marshal’s embrace is so warm and comfortable.
Before she knew it, Tong Wanwan fell asleep again.
In her drowsiness, she seemed to hear an extremely gentle sigh carried by the wind, so low that it numbed her ears and spread to her heart.
"...Too light, little fool."
