Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 51

Winona didn't see that familiar figure or receive his domineering hug. What came into view were several gloomy faces.

Her heart sank to the bottom, but she managed to smile stubbornly. "Where is Matt? Buying night snacks?"

The others glanced at Felix, and the latter bit the bullet. "Winona, let's talk inside."

In the room, everyone was silent for a moment.

She drank three glasses of water in a row. Holding the glass, her fingers trembled slightly. "Go ahead. I can take it."

"We didn't find Matt. Rumor… has it that Logan's men found his body."

She jerked up, and the glass crashed on the floor. "No! He won't die!"

"Winona, calm down. Herman has gone to investigate it with several men. We also believe that Matt is fine."

Winona stopped talking. The others exchanged looks and left quietly.

She didn't sleep or eat all night. The man kept flashing across her mind. When she closed her eyes, she would see his frivolous smile. Then he was seen covered in blood. A cold sweat broke out, and she sobered up.

Herman came back early the next morning. Her hair disheveled, Winona hastened over and asked in a hoarse voice, "It's not him, right?"

Herman handed a metal amulet to her. "According to our man inside, that body is burned. This is taken from him. The amulet belongs to the general."

The amulet felt scalding as Winona slowly held it in her palm. "So what? This kind of amulet is common. A lot of people have it…"

She couldn't even convince herself. She could still remember what Matt had told her. The amulet was devoutly acquired by his mother from Saint Mountain. The monk saw that she didn't have much money, craved a Buddha statue out of a piece of iron, and gave it to her. She cherished it as a treasure and carefully put it around his neck.

She knew the importance of the amulet and gave it to him. He would not take it off easily.

"Our man inside has collected the blood. I've sent it to the hospital for testing. The results will come out before supper," Herman said in a gloomy voice.

"I'll wait."

Felix bought her breakfast, and she didn't have a single bite.

"Winona, eat something. If Matt sees you like this when he comes back, he'll beat us up for sure."

"I'm sleepy. You can leave now."

Equally depressed, they went out one after another.

"Woody and I will wait in the hospital. As soon as the results come out, I'll tell everyone. We should… get mentally prepared," Herman said.

After seeing the two men off, they felt depressed and worried about Winona. If an accident happened to her, they would find it hard to face Matt. Therefore, they chose to guard outside.

Felix paced back and forth in the corridor. "Boss, be safe. Amitabha, Amitabha."

"Our boss is a wise and composed man. I don't believe that's his body," said Samuel.

Kevin scratched his head. "Yeah, he is not that weak!"
