It was Michele!
Yasmeen had dealt with Michele for so many years, and she knew best what kind of engine her car had. Now it was too late for her to leave. But what would Lucas do if she and Michele got into a fight?
For a moment, she was in a bit of a hurry, even thinking that she might as well fight with her.
Suddenly, a pair of slender fingers gently gripped her wrist.
Yasmeen looked back and heard Lucas say, "Go to my room and stay there. Don't come out without my orders."
"But ..."
"Do as I say!"
Lucas' soft words instantly blocked out all Yasmeen's words.
She looked at Lucas and then quickly went upstairs to his room, while Lucas quickly got up and cleaned up the things Yasmeen had eaten.
He had just sat down when Michele came in in a hurry.
When she saw Lucas sitting on the sofa watching the military news, her face, which had been red as she ran in a hurry, eased somewhat.
"Lucas."
She called out to Lucas.
Lucas didn't say anything and didn't turn around, but remained engrossed in watching TV.
It was then that Michele remembered that Lucas's ear had not yet healed.
Yasmeen hid in Lucas's room and listened and watched secretly. Although she knew it was wrong to be like this, she just wasn't comfortable with it.
Now she was suddenly a little happy to see that Lucas was still pretending not to hear.
This was a secret between her and Lucas.
It was a good feeling.
Michele, unaware that Yasmeen was there, came to Lucas and turned the TV off.
Only then did Lucas look at her.
"Is something wrong?"
"Lucas, I heard my dad say that your gun was sabotaged while you were on a mission, wasn't it? Why didn't you say anything? Why didn't you tell me? The aim was off and that's why you missed and injured the hostage, right? Why didn't you explain? And why did you erase the traces of Yasmeen's presence at the scene for her? Do you know that you can't hide this? Now that this has been revealed, you'll probably be disciplined and even expelled from the army! Is it worth it for Yasmeen? Besides, she's not even from our country, she appeared on the scene ..."
"It's worth it!"
Lucas answered before Michele could finish, but his words pierced into Michele's chest like a sharp blade.
Her eyes instantly moistened.
"Worth it? Is it worth not being a soldier for her?"
"Yeah."
Lucas nodded, and his eyes were unusually determined.
Michele suddenly couldn't stand up. She took two steps back, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to cry.

What is it with Chinese authors.
