Gillian already knew Merrick had kept their marital status hidden before. He feared hostile forces would target her over the healing metal incidents.

Now that the Grayson family had fallen and the legion had undergone thorough purges led by the Sovereign Guard, there was no longer any reason to keep their bond a secret.

Could he be hiding it all for Elara’s sake?

Noticing the shift in Gillian’s expression, Merrick quickly softened his tone.

“It is not what you think, Gillian. Elara will fly into a rage the moment she learns we are married. She might even take you away from me. I hope I get to explain everything to her in person. Stay distant/from her for now. No matter what she says, hold firm to your feelings for me.”

Before Gillian could reply, the metal dormitory door swung open once more.

Gillian turned her gaze over. Elara had changed into a new outfit. In a pale blue long dress, she looked elegant, stunning, to anyone who laid eyes on her.

She walked straight over without warning and firmly took hold of Gillian’s hand. Her eyes were slightly red, as if she had shed tears.

“Who did you marry?”

Elara struggled to hold back her rising anger. Gillian was only twenty, still young and beautiful. Which shameless male had snatched her away?

Merrick heard Elara’s voice through the call and grew anxious at once. “Gillian, trust me. I will head back soon. Do not listen to her words.”

Gillian had not turned on speaker mode, so Elara had no idea who Gillian was talking to.

But caught between the two, Gillian felt a sharp headache.

Elara held her tight while Merrick kept talking nonstop through the communicator.

She simply ended the video call with Merrick and focused fully on Elara right in front of her.

She would sort things out step by step.

Gillian glanced down at her gripped wrist, yet kept her gentle smile.

“What are you asking this for, Ms. Locke? My marriage is my own business. You are acting far too emotionally. Outsiders might even mistake you for my elder kin.”

She avoided giving a direct answer and tossed the question right back.

Elara was twenty-six years old, two years older than Merrick. All personal records about her before she joined the 9th Legion remained blank. Most people guessed she came from Capital Planet, which made

any personal connection between her and Gillian seem impossible.

“I am six years older than you, and I can be your elder. Tell me, who was talking to you now?”

Elara tightened her grip on Gillian’s wrist. “Is that the male you married? Tell him to come here at once.”

“Please calm down, Ms. Locke.”

Gillian felt rather offended. She could not summon someone over on demand. Besides, Merrick was far away from the legion and could not show up instantly.

Elara released faint psionic power to sense her condition. Her eyes widened in utter shock. Gillian was pregnant.

Rage welled up inside her like a furious beast breaking free from restraint. She held back all harsh words for the time being.

The corridor stretched in all directions, not a proper place for a private talk.

Elara pulled Gillian into her dormitory and shut the metal door firmly. She then pressed Gillian gently down onto the bed with one hand.

Gillian’s expression turned cold. She never expected Elara to possess such formidable fighting skills, for she stood no chance of winning a fight against her.

“You have no right to assault the chief medical officer, Ms. Locke. I can take decisive action against you. You had better give me a valid reason.”

The instant Gillian channeled her power, golden ribbons of psionic power swirled around both of them.

The sharp edges of the glowing ribbons aimed straight at the back of Elara’s head, ready to strike at any second.

“Gillian, are you carrying a child? Which male is the father?”

They spoke at the very same time yet voiced completely different thoughts.

Gillian was utterly stunned that Elara could tell she was pregnant by touching her wrist.

She had not sensed any hidden energy scanning her body earlier. This only meant Elara held an even higher cleric rank than herself.

Could she be a level 6 cleric?

Gillian’s heart sank. All previous rumors and judgments about Elara were totally wrong.
