Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 787

As long as she was happy and safe, what did it matter if he was devastated for the rest of his pitiful life? The roar of the aircraft reminded him of where he was headed. The plane soared through the sky carrying the three different minds. The closer the plane was getting to Sun Island, the bluer the sky seemed to become.

At the Special Forces base called The Sharp Sword in an undisclosed military location, a soldier swiftly walked towards the Major General's office.

When he arrived at his door, the senior soldier halted and knocked. He asked loudly, "May I come in, Sir?"

"Come in," Major General Edgar said without raising his head. He was busy with some documentation job.

The soldier, dressed in a special training suit, walked closer to the General's desk. He stopped in front of his desk, stood in attention and gave a sharp salute. "General, I got the notice that you were looking for me," he reported.

"Yes," said Edgar. After signing the last regional document, he looked up at the soldier with a faint smile. He took a letter out of his desk drawer and extended it to him. Edgar read the name tag on the soldier's chest—Daniel Xia.

Daniel looked at the letter, confused.

"Take it," Edgar ordered, "See who wrote it to you."

"Yes Sir!" Daniel said, taking the letter from him. He read the words on the envelope. His name was written on it in a familiar handwriting and his heart lurched. Without minding the rules or regulations of the army, he slit open the envelope in a hurry. Before reading the content, he directly jumped to the signature at the end of the letter which said, 'Your sister, Molly'. His lips trembled and tears started welling up in his eyes.

"You will be allowed an hour off to calm yourself down," Edgar said sternly. "After the allotted time, you will get back to the ground and continue your training."

Daniel looked at Edgar with gratitude in his eyes and said, "Yes, General! Thank you, General!" He offered another bold salute to his leader.

"You may leave," Edgar dismissed him.

"Yes, General!" Daniel said. Then he turned around and marched solemnly out of the office. As soon as he was outside the door, he could no longer restrain his excitement. He looked at the letter in his hand, and his eyes were instantly misty. He scurried to find a private place to read the letter.

Edgar watched from his office window as Daniel scurried off to a secluded spot. He sighed with a smile at the corner of his lips.

'Molly, I hope you'll be immensely thrilled when you see how much Daniel has changed. I hope it makes you happy," Edgar thought.

Just at the moment, his phone rang loudly on his desk.

Edgar withdrew his gaze from the window, picked up the phone and said, "This is Edgar."

"Edgar," came the voice of his senior officer from the other end, "The new project designed during the last headquarters meeting will be carried out in your base—The Sharp Sword. The military has sent a team to your base. You should arrange everything for them."

"Yes Sir!" Edgar responded immediately, and then added, "Sir, may I know in advance which team has been sent to our base?"

"You sneaky boy!" the officer said and laughed as he realized Edgar's intentions. "Well, as per your request, I had suggested to the Commander that Cathy and her team be sent to your base."

"I see. Thank you, Sir!" Edgar replied enthusiastically.

"Edgar, I know exactly what you are thinking. Cathy is an important asset, who was trained in our main military base. When she and her team arrive, don't jump on them like hungry wolves," he joked.
