Yeah, if he collapsed or died, what would happen to Sophia?
Go somewhere with even a sliver of hope first. He needed to stabilize himself and then plan the future. He didn’t hesitate much longer and nodded firmly.
“I’ll go! Captain, I’ll go with you!”
Seeing him agree, Dominic let out a quiet breath of relief.
Norman immediately tried to get out of the medical pod, eager to pack his things. It was as if he could fly back to bring his wife and daughter at once.
But as he moved, his eyes caught Emmett standing quietly to the side. Emmett was genuinely happy for him, but deep in his gaze, there was an unmistakable trace of loneliness and envy.
Norman paused.
Emmett… This former Fifth Military soldier was his only friend in this hellish mine. The one who had pulled him back from the brink more times than he could count.
He was injured himself, yet he always looked after someone even worse off.
Now that Norman had a chance to leave… Was he really going to leave Emmett behind in this living hell?
Norman clenched his teeth, then turned to Dominic, his voice filled with pleading. “Captain… I have one more request. Emmett’s a veteran too. He left the service because of injuries from the battlefield. He has no family here… So, can you… Take him with us too? He’s… he’s a good man. Really.”
Dominic looked at Emmett.
Emmett clearly hadn’t expected this. He froze for a moment, then waved his hand quickly, forcing a wry, self-deprecating smile. “Norman, don’t be ridiculous! That’s the First Military’s territory. What would ! even be doing there? I’m fine since I’m just a lone guy. I can survive anywhere. Don’t worry about me. Just take your wife and daughter and go.”
“No!” Norman insisted, staring at Dominic. “Captain, I swear on my honor that Emmett is a good man! He’s saved me more times than I can count! Please… at least ask!”
Seeing the earnest plea in Norman’s eyes, then looking at Emmett’s weathered but upright face. Dominic fell silent for a moment.
Then, he stepped aside and opened a secure line to his superiors, briefly explaining the situation especially emphasizing Emmett’s status as a former Fifth Military soldier and Norman’s strong request. There was a short silence on the other end before a clear reply came through. “The Commander’s order stands. Retired soldiers, regardless of former affiliation. Any veteran of the kingdom who is of good character and has fallen into hardship due to service-related injuries, upon verification, is eligible tor acceptance. You can bring him too.”
The order was simple but carried a sense of authority and unity that transcendent
tional divides.
Dominic ended the call, walked back, and nodded at Norman–who was watching him anxiously–and ar the slightly stunned Emmett. “Command approved it. As long as there’s no issue with his record, he’s
