Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1380

"Sorry, I don't know either." Cathy bit her lips. "I haven't seen Captain Edgar since he returned."

Maggie felt depression set in and her eyes turned red. She took a deep breath to summon up the courage to carry on talking with Cathy. They made a little small talk before hanging up. Maybe she was not willing to accept the obvious result, or she still held out some hope. She called Edgar once again, but he still couldn't be reached.

Maggie leaned back on the sofa, threw her cell phone to one side and then let out a long and desperate sigh. Why did she feel that her future with Edgar would be extremely difficult?

"Edgar, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?" Maggie looked up at the ceiling and asked the empty space, "I'm missing you now. What are you doing? Are you even missing me?"

Edgar didn't have time to miss Maggie now. Because he had already almost been cornered several times by his pursuers. The gaps between the times they found him were different, but the longest one was just about one hour.

He knew his own abilities well. But the people following him would also have done their research on him, and probably also knew what he was capable of. If his opponent was Cain, it would be a thorny problem. Cain was difficult to understand. Plus Edgar had been with him for almost a whole month, he must therefore have learnt something about Edgar's habits and abilities now. If what Tompson had said was the truth, he guessed that Cain's reason for coming to the National Defense University to be the Special Instructor had been just to observe him up close and personally.

All of a sudden, and untimely, his cell phone vibrated loudly. Edgar rolled his eyes and then picked up his phone to answer it. "Hello."

Hearing him panting for breath, Brian frowned slightly and asked, "Haven't you found out how many different groups are tracking you, yet?"

"No!" Edgar answered quickly. But his voice sounded upset. "It seems that they have already discovered my plan. So they have disturbed my judgment several times."

Brian's eyes deepened. "May I send you some men?"

"There's no need, for the time being." Edgar turned around and looked about. Then he turned back to look at the dead-end before him. "Shit!" He paused for a second and tucked the phone into his pocket before starting his run-up at the nearest wall. He made several sprints towards the wall and leaped up. Grabbing hold of the top of the wall with his right hand he hung suspended for a moment. At last, he climbed over the wall by using the bricks as support. At the top, he took the phone again. "We can't risk your identity being known," Edgar wheezed. "I'd better...research on my own..."

"All right," Brian replied. "Good luck." With that, he hung up.

Knock! Knock!
