My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 106

Sophia’s mouth fell open. She had been to the barracks’ infirmary, and it was well equipped to even conduct minor operations. If the infirmary couldn’t handle it, then it must be a serious injury.

Stunned, she asked, “That serious?”

The lieutenant nodded. “Well, your punch managed to dislocate her nose that had undergone plastic surgery. We really aren’t equipped for this, so we had to send her to a specialized plastic surgery hospital. If we delay any longer, her face will be disfigured.”

Sophie was speechless. It turned out that Faye’s entire face had undergone plastic surgery, and it was filled with hyaluronic acid and prosthesis. Unfortunately for Faye, Sophia’s punch had dislocated the prosthesis in the nose.

Even after understanding what had taken place, Sophia still had lingering fears. The lieutenant continued, “I will take you to the new barracks. After you have unpacked your things, you will train according to your usual schedule. Your training location is now on the special training field behind me.” Sophia then followed him to the new barracks.

There was a row of bungalows, with one room per person. Her room was a standard single room and could not compare to Bayside University’s student dormitory, but it was much better than the large barracks she used to live in. At least she now had a room to herself, with an en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning and a TV.

After Sophia settled down, she immediately went to the Third Canteen to eat; those in the Superb Company had their meals here. There were many canteens in the military camp, and the Third Canteen is the legendary high-level canteen, for it was where the officers in the army ate.

The atmosphere here was different from the student canteen—very quiet with no one talking. What they ate was a real battle meal, and they usually finished within a few minutes. There were not many people in the canteen, and Sophia immediately spotted her cute little boy.

The seat beside Nathan was empty, and a meal was already set, with a big special-made chicken drumstick dripping with oil. It was obvious that the meal was prepared for her. Sophia ran toward it happily and ruffled Nathan’s head while saying, “Such a good boy, preparing a meal for me!”

Famished, she sat down and started eating immediately. She ate half of the chicken thigh in one bite! She then sighed and said, “The food in this canteen is much better than the food in other canteens!” Sophia gobbled it up, but after a few bites, she realized that something was odd.

Nathan was looking at her weirdly, and those around her were staring at her in horror. Sophia continued to eat, absorbing everyone’s reactions the whole time. Why do they look like I have grown two heads?

She rolled her eyes twice. Suddenly, she felt the hairs on her nape standing, thereupon a cold voice came from behind her, “Edwards!”

It’s Joel Fletcher! Sophia jumped in fear, and immediately stood up and gave a military salute. Joel looked at her blankly and nodded. He had put his food down and went to get some soup. Little did he know that someone would finish his meal by the time he returned.

Sophia looked at the soup in Joel’s hand and then at the meal she was eating, as well as a man’s mobile phone that was placed next to that meal.

She then looked at Nathan, who had a “you’re so embarrassing—I don’t know you” look on his face. It was only then that she realized she was eating Joel’s food.

Feeling like she had been struck by lightning, she stood there not knowing what to do. The special-made chicken thigh piece was still in her mouth, and it was too big to swallow without chewing. Half her cheek was bulging and she looked comical, to say the least.

What should I do now? I can’t spit it back out for him, can I? As her mind whirled with these questions, Sophia decided to play dumb. So, with her cheek bulging, she looked at Joel with a piercing gaze.
