I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 575

Finn sat up a little straighter, resting his fingers on his knees. He deliberated for a few seconds before speaking.

"Global Air has a special assignment—Project Stratosphere. They need to select someone from the Decorated Captains to execute it. The flight path is unique, and the environment is highly complex, but the mission itself is incredibly meaningful."

He paused.

"If I don't go, this opportunity goes to someone else. But based on my qualifications and experience, I am the most suitable candidate."

Sienna remained silent, listening quietly.

"This is something I've always wanted to do. I have a gift for flying, and that gift shouldn't just be used for routine commercial routes. I should be doing something that matters."

Sienna noticed that even though Finn's tone was steady, the excitement in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"It isn't easy for the nation to cultivate top-tier pilots. It takes immense resources and time, and I am honored to be one of them." Finn's eyes shone. "Sienna, this is the responsibility my era has entrusted to me."

Sienna looked at him, not interrupting, waiting for him to continue.

Finn sighed.

"But now, I'm not alone." His voice lowered. "I have you. So I can't make this decision by myself. I have to ask for your opinion."

The living room fell silent for a few seconds as the sky outside the window slowly darkened.

Sienna looked at him.

"Is it life-threatening?"

Finn hesitated for a moment.

"Yes. And the risk factor isn't low."

Sienna's fingers slowly curled inward.

She looked down at her clasped hands, taking a long time before she finally spoke.

"I can understand the grand responsibilities and missions you're talking about. But I'm just an ordinary person. I love you deeply, and I want a stable life with you. So, I don't want you to go. I'm sorry, I'm just not that selfless or fearless."

Her voice was very soft as she said those words.

She didn't dare look Finn in the eye.

She was terrified of seeing disappointment in his gaze.

Finn reached out and took her hand.
