Edmund sat in the hospital ward, his gaze dark and brooding.
Dark circles shadowed his eyes, his face was covered in stubble, his eyes bloodshot–he had gone several nights without proper sleep.
The doctor looked at him and, helplessly, pushed the medical file toward him once again.
“Commander Oswald, your condition is very serious right now. You absolutely cannot go out again and must be forcibly admitted to the hospital.”
Over these days, Edmund had dispatched many people throughout San Diego.
Yet there was no sign of Josephine at all.
He investigated that car and eventually found the black Mercedes at the docks.
His subordinates told Edmund that the buyer of the car was Kolton, Canada’s largest tycoon.
The name sounded strangely familiar to Edmund.
Sure enough, among the many condolence letters at the Faye residence, he found the one written by Kolton.
He was the man who had pursued Josephine a few years ago!

At the thought of this, Edmund coughed up several mouthfuls of blood in fury and was sent to the hospital once again.
“I haven’t found my wife. I won’t be hospitalized. Just help me prescribe some painkillers.”
Edmund swallowed several painkillers, got into his car, and drove straight to the detention room.
The two subordinates were covered in injuries, and the air was thick
with the smell of blood.
His eyes swept back and forth over them, his voice icy.
“You knew full well that Josephine is my wife. Why did you use such heavy–handed force?”

Edmund lifted his eyelids, his gaze so cold it held not a trace of
warmth.
“So what?”
He gripped the subordinate’s shoulders tightly and demanded loudly, “If you don’t speak now, do you know what awaits the two of you?”

“We… we smashed her arm with a hammer… I swear, it really was Ms. Harlette who told us to do it. She said Josephine had hurt her, and back then you also said we should teach her some rules.”
The other subordinate was unwilling to fall behind and hurriedly explained, “We only listened to her because we saw that you treated Diana differently from Josephine!”
Treated them differently?
Edmund could not help but recall everything that had happened recently.
During the explosion, the first person he saved was Diana.
When Josephine was injured at the shooting range, he had also gone so far as to threaten others to protect Diana.
No wonder, in the end, the way she looked at him was filled with hatred.
But Diana was usually gentle and fragile.
Josephine was also her best friend.
How could she have instructed others to do something so cruel to Josephine?
“Hurting Josephine wasn’t enough–you still want to slander someone else? It seems you don’t want to stay at the Military Base anymore! I’ll go to the Regimental HQ right now and have both of your records sent
