Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 28

Sharon hated her to the core. How could she possibly tell her truth so easily? She did crave to know the truth; however, she valued her life more.

She planned to ignore the WhatsApp message when Sharon suddenly gave her a video call. After a moment of hesitation, she answered it, only to see Aileen on the screen. Her hands and feet were bound; her mouth was gagged; her eyes were filled with tears and trepidation. Standing next to her were several punks with dyed hair and lewd faces.

Sharon walked over and violently pulled the rags out of Aileen's mouth. The knife in her hand made a few slashes, and Aileen's floral dress torn into pieces. Her tender skin and slightly bulging chest were exposed. Aileen begged piteously, "Sharon, I'm scared, bawl…"

"I didn't expect this little fool to have such nice skin and figure. In a few years, she'll grow up into a pretty lady," Sharon said jealously.

Those punks guffawed, "Fear not, girl. You'll be on cloud nine in a minute."

Some bold ones even got their hands on her. Aileen shed tears, too scared to make a sound.

When Winona saw that, her heart was crumpled and her chest filled with anger. "Sharon, you're insane! Aileen is also your sister!"

"Ha-ha… you think I'll take a retard as my sister?"

She turned around, stroked Aileen's head, and said softly, "Aileen, don't be afraid. I'll let these boys take care of you in a moment, and you're gonna have all the fun."

Those punks rubbed their hands lewdly and eagerly.

"Winona, come quickly, or the little fool will be tarnished by these men. Wouldn't your late mother haunt you once she learned that you failed to take care of your sister?"

Vindictiveness had driven Sharon crazy. Winona almost bit through her lip but soon calmed down. "Okay, I'll be there soon, but you should leave Aileen alone! Otherwise, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Fair enough, but don't think about playing games, or the little fool…"

"Okay, I'll be there alone."

"Winona, you're such a coquette. You can titillate the general while frying an egg."

Winona gasped. Sharon knew what had happened in the morning? Almost immediately, she realized that either the whole manor had been monitored or her belongings had been bugged. This was not something that a stupid woman like Sharon could do. Apparently, someone was secretly helping her. As for the motive, she suddenly thought of an expression. Hiring a thug to do the dirty work.

She tried to call Matt, only to find the screen going black. A moment later, her phone rebooted, and a text message came in. "Matt is receiving isolated training on Sheldeen Reef. You can't reach him for at least three days. By the way, keep your phone on."

Winona immediately realized that her cell phone had been bugged. What appalled her, even more, was that the other party knew Matt's whereabouts. It betrayed his high status, and sense told her that the person behind the curtain was probably Matt's opponent in the army and the government.

She rummaged through the medical kit and found two pills. The euthanasia medicine was newly made by the hospital. Three seconds after one took them, he would die. She put the pills in her pocket and made a decision. If she couldn't get away, she would rather die than blemish Matt's reputation.

Just then, Karen came in with a clean bedsheet in her hand. "Madam, are you going out?"

"Yeah, I'm going back to the hospital for a craniotomy."

Hiding the phone behind her back, she quickly expressed herself in sign language. Karen frowned slightly, trying to say something, but the lady took her bag and went off.

Karen was puzzled. As far as she knew, craniotomy required great techniques. Most of the time, it would be performed by a brain surgeon. Winona was a thoracic doctor. How could she possibly be asked to perform a craniotomy? Karen immediately called the hospital.

"May I ask if Dr. Winston is working overtime at the hospital today?"
