Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 857

"Yes, I see. Is there anything else? If no, I'll go and call them now."

Upon hearing that Leena was fine, Luke was much relieved too.

"Nothing else. You may leave now!" Edward picked up his phone and called Daisy. He tried ringing many times but nobody answered him. 'What is she doing? Is she busy with something?' Edward wondered.

He had guessed it right. Daisy was indeed quite busy at the time. The day after was the National Day, so she was involved in the preparations for the military parade that was to be held. Currently, she was correcting the soldiers' formation and figures on the training field.

"Get your tiptoes straight! Legs higher! Watch for your gun positions." Several sweat beads streamed down her back and face. Daisy did her job conscientiously. If they were skilled soldiers, they could do well without her instructions. But unfortunately, all of them were new recruits. What was more, the other battalion and company commanders were assigned with different tasks. She had no other option but to instruct them in person.

"Hey, you! Your hands are not in the right position. Look, I'll show you how to do it." Daisy walked to a soldier and took the rifle from him. She showed him the position in front of everyone.

All the new soldiers watched her demonstrate the positions carefully. They did not dare to be absent-minded even for a second, nor did they make any noises. They had heard the senior soldiers mention that Colonel Ouyang, though young and beautiful in appearance, was extremely strict during training. She strongly berated soldiers who performed a bad job or did not concentrate fully.

"All right. Now do it like I just showed you," Daisy encouraged them. She handed over the rifle to the soldier and took a step back. She was such a figure of heroic spirit and pride in her green military uniform.

"Yes, Colonel," The fresh recruits chorused. The loud reply echoed around the training field. It was nice to be young. Their voices reflected their bravery.

"Now, pay attention to my words. Attention! Dress right! Watch the formation. Eyes at the front. Now at ease! Attention! Quick steps. Look out, your feet must be on the same horizontal level. Your actions must be powerful and organized." The soldiers followed Daisy's orders. She too stood beside them and performed the actions for their reference. Meanwhile, she was on the lookout for anyone who was not performing correctly.

"Colonel! You have a call." Mark trotted over to her, saluting her in military style. He gave her the phone.

"I see. You stay here and keep an eye on them the way I was doing. I'll leave for a while," Daisy said to Mark. She took the phone from him and left the training field. Daisy did not answer the phone until she was at a distance, underneath a big tree.

"Hello. This is Daisy Ouyang speaking. Who's that, please?" Although Daisy was on the phone, her eyes were still trained on the field that was not too far away. She didn't take a look at the number to see who had called her.
