Freya was stunned too.

Gillian coughed softly. “Works harder than you can imagine.”

Freya saw Gillian’s face was bright and flushed, nothing like someone who’d been sleeping alone. The commander really was a beast!

“So Black Rick’s condition is cured? He didn’t sleep with Ms. Locke only because he doesn’t like her?”

Freya’s gaze shifted from doubt to confusion in an instant.

Both fell silent, unsure what to make of Merrick.

Gillian was lovely, but like a ripe green apple. Next to a fully grown, juicy watermelon, anyone would pick the watermelon, right?

“I get it now.”

It turned out the commander didn’t care for watermelons. He preferred apples.

Freya clicked her tongue, her teasing gaze making Gillian’s cheeks heat up.

“Get what? Freya, who was that male with you today? Why’d he buy you watermelon? It’s not cheap.”

Getting such fresh fruit in this heat also required connections.

Freya hadn’t expected Gillian to tease her back.

“One of my coworkers. He is a recruit, knowing little. I helped him a few times, and now he’s glued to me.” “Freya, things between Merrick and me are complicated. Right now, we’re two people in the same boat.”

They looked at each other and smiled faintly.

“Don’t say that. You’re married. Why not give it a chance? Black Rick is a top-tier male.

“Countless females would kill to have him fall for them.

“You know Winterhush House on Gourmaw Road? Its owner offered a fortune to dine with Sovereign Guard beastmen. For Black Rick? The price would be even higher.”

“Are you talking about Elowen?”

Gillian’s heart skipped. She pictured the female in pink, delicate and frail, yet capable of blowing apart a level 6 tainted beast’s head with a single shot.

“You know Elowen, too? Gillian, when did you go to Winterhush House without me?”

“I didn’t. I’ve heard about her.”

Gillian hadn’t realized Freya also frequented the place.

In her previous life, when Wasteland City fell to the taint, the stunning females and males of Winterhush House grabbed weapons. They protected the families of legion soldiers who refused to evacuate.

Elowen spent all her coins and food to aid the survivors.

“Gillian, it’s a shame about your two little ones. If they could attend a proper school, Capital Planet would snatch them up as talents in no time. They’d leave the polluted Outer Planet for good.”

“Why didn’t you leave? You had the chance and the means.”

Elowen, dressed in pale pink and white, dropped her playful smile. She thought seriously for a momen

Her thin face was covered in scales, yet still hauntingly beautiful,

She caught a falling dry leaf and crunched the branch in her hand.

“The person I loved when I was young is buried at the edge of the taint. I’ve got nothing left out there. I’ll stay here as long as I can. Dying together in the end wouldn’t be so bad.”

Gillian’s mind swirled. Memories she’d feared most in her previous life, memories she’d wanted to escape, were etched deep in her heart, stirring up a storm of emotions.

“Gillian? What’s wrong? You look lost in thought.”

Freya nudged her gently with her shoulder.

“I was thinking it’s time to head back. You’ve no idea how long the lines are at the Medical Hall.”

“Right. The watermelon’s gone, and you’ve got to ride back with the medical team. Let’s go.”

Freya felt lighter after speaking her mind. She was also happy for Gillian, knowing the commander was physically fine.

They walked toward the warehouse exit.

“Freya, is that why you wouldn’t look at me last night?”

“Of course. Black Rick’s infertile, sharp-tongued, cold-hearted, a deadbeat, a rogue, bullies kids, and…”

Freya’s voice trailed off, losing confidence.
