Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1044

Captain Anderson sighed and remarked, “It’s no surprise that you’d put everything on the line to pursue him. Moccan is also a ruthless person who will go to any length for vengeance. If I were in your shoes, I think I would have done the same thing.”

Yes, Richard realized he needed to make it back to safety right then. However, he was compelled to take this life threatening risk out of concern for protecting his loved ones.

Angela was wide awake and energized even though it was nearly midnight. An hour before Richard’s flight landed, a car arrived to take her to Scarlet’s house. The two had agreed to go pick him up together at the airport.

Two SUVs were waiting for them when they arrived at Scarlet’s house. Angela and Scarlet were in one car as it moved through the dark night toward the military base airport.

It was fifteen minutes before the landing when Captain Anderson told Richard, “I’ve already contacted the base to get a wheelchair for you.”

Knowing that Angela would be waiting to welcome him, Richard’s dashing brow furrowed, and he asked, “Can you find a crutch for me instead?”

“Are there any differences between crutches and a wheelchair? Crutches will cause you more pain.” Captain Anderson was at a loss for words.

“Yes, there is. People may assume that both of my legs are severely injured if I am in a wheelchair. At least with crutches, I can prove that one of my legs is still fine, Richard joked.

“You truly are impossible to please.” Captain Anderson snorted lightly and got up to get him crutches.
