Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 97

Winona sat back and let out a laugh coldly, "Afraid? I don't know the meaning of the word."

A slight excitement crossed Lilian's eyes. She provoked Winona intentionally, so as to distract her. Soon as she ate the food mixed with drugs, the race later in the afternoon would turn into her nightmare!

She could visualize her extremely embarrassed face already. Her lips curled up thinking about this. To hide her excitement, she lowered her head to eat. Her hands suddenly felt numbed for a second, her spoon fell onto the floor.

She immediately bent to pick up the spoon and wiped it carefully with napkins. When she raised her head again, she was ecstatic to see Winona devouring the food without any doubt.

Winona looked up at her suddenly and said suspiciously, "Why are you staring at me? You didn't…?

Her gaze fell on the food in front of her, "You didn't drug these foods, did you, Ms. Tucker?"

Lilian's face turned pale slightly, even her smile turned stiff. "Ha… You sure have…a good sense of humor," she stuttered.

"You dare switch your tray with mine?" Winona gave her a half smile.

Lilian lowered her head and gobbled up a few spoonful of food at lightning speed, "Don't you mind? I mean this is not hygienic."

For fear that Winona would really switch the tray with her, she finished up everything hastily.

Winona stared at her and she sneered, "I'm disgusted only by being in the same space and breathing the same air with you," she said as she walked away with her tray.

Lilian almost choked hearing her words, she watched her left, feeling angry but smiling evilly, "Let's wait and see in the race this afternoon."

She looked down and found that she had swept the tray cleaned. The way she gobbled just now attracted the attention of the women around her.

She blushed instantly, immediately took a napkin and wiped her lips before she left elegantly with the empty tray.

People began gossiping behind.

"She is the real bumpkin that pretends to be noble."

"Rumors have it that she's not biologically related to Mr. Tucker. She is adopted from the orphanage."

"Yeah, Mr. Tucker plans to marry her to General Snider, but he has no interest in her. she still clings to him regardless. It's so disgusting."

Hearing those words, Lilian tightened her grip on the tray so hard that it was almost deformed. What do they know! She truly loved Matt, and it was not about power or status. He was like a beacon of her life. She would try her best to get close to him no matter the price, even if it cost both of their lives. She would live and die with him.

She didn't care if he was seeing someone now. She would never give up as long as she was the one with him toward the end. Hence, she would never let a single chance of getting close to him slide away, never!

The race in the afternoon was a thirty-kilometers weight-bearing orienting race. All contestants must complete the race by crossing the mountain and ringing the bell at the final destination carrying a fifty kilograms load with them.

The rays of the sun at the beginning of fall were burning hot. Matt rubbed some sunscreen on his palm and applied it gently on Winona's face. "Well, I regret letting you take part in this. I'm afraid your little face will be scorched by the sun."

"Why? Will you dislike me afterwards?"

He held her chin abruptly and began kissing her eyes, face, and landed on her lips, "I won't mind even if your skin turns as dark as charcoal. I'll kiss it till it's fair again."

Winona wiped off his saliva on her face helplessly. The sunscreen was all kissed away by him.

He patted lightly on her soft face sadly, "I'll wait for you at the finish line."

"What if I can't make it?" She joked.

"Then no one is allowed to ring the bell at the finish line," he smiled cunningly.
