Chapter 373 A Reason to Hold On
It had been a long time since anyone had cared about him like this.

He wanted to smile again, but the movement pulled at the wounds on his face, forcing a sharp breath from him. All that came out was a faint whisper. “Elio… the doctor… told you already, didn’t he?”
Elio’s chest tightened, and he didn’t answer.
Flynn, however, seemed to relax slightly, his voice still weak, yet carrying a strange calm. “I… I already know that I don’t have much time left anyway. While I still can move… I’ll trade it for some money… so my mom and Jimmy can live better. Then it would be worth it.”
“Worth it, my ass!” Elio snapped, his voice rising before he forced it back down, afraid of disturbing him. His eyes reddened again. “Shut up! What do you mean by ‘not much time? Haven’t you heard? Bastards like
you live the longest! Even death wouldn’t want you!”
Flynn froze for a moment under the outburst. Then, a faint trace of helpless warmth flickered in his eyes.
Same as always. He was all bark, but no bite.
Elio took a deep breath, leaned forward, and locked eyes with him, his tone turning deadly serious. Flynn. listen to me. You’re not dying. There’s a place that can help you. Really.”
Flynn’s expression barely changed. Clearly, he didn’t believe it.
“Farm Planet A001,” Elio said, word by word. “The natural food there can heal mental power damage Melton, remember him? From the Third Military, that monster of a man. You remember how badly he was injured? Now he’s back in top shape. And Orion, the one who dropped from S-level to B-level? Hes almost fully recovered. And Elmer, he nearly didn’t make it on the last mission. He only stabilized because of the produce sent from that farm. We came here under direct orders to find men like you who were scattered out here, and bring you back.”
Flynn’s pupils shrank slightly, but the light faded just as quickly. He shook his head, his voice barely more than a breath as he said, “Elio, don’t lie to me. I know you mean well. You want me to accept help from the military, but something that good should go to someone who needs it more. Someone like me. I’m just a cripple…”
“Bullshit!” Elio nearly jumped to his feet, pointing straight at him. “Who the hell is lying to you? Who said you’re useless?! This is a direct order from the commander himself! Commander Hewitt! The top commander of the First Military! He ordered us to locate and escort all retired soldiers suffering from mental power damage to Farm Planet A001 for treatment and reseulement Flynn, if you still consider yourself a soldier of the First Military, and if you still remember that a soldier’s duty is to obey orders. then drop that garbage about ‘not deserving it or giving it to others! This is an order. You don’t get na refuse!”
Elio’s voice was firm and absolute when he name-dropped Trevor. There was no room for douku
Flynn went still.
An order from the commander?

Chapter 373 A Reason to Hold On
Elio might lie to comfort him, but he would never dare use the commander’s name lily
Could it really be true?
One of the soldiers standing nearby quickly added, his voice filled with urgency and commence
our captain said is absolutely true! That farm is incredible! A lot of our brothers-in-arms are ready ther Do you know who runs it? It’s the commander’s daughter-in-law, Ms. Elizabeth Schoßel Sh person. She’s willing to take in anyone from the First Military, and she even provides work and being
The commander’s daughter-in-law…
Elizabeth Schofield…
Flynn vaguely remembered hearing that name in some news involving General Hewitt If that was true… Then maybe… this wasn’t a lie.
He looked at Elio’s flushed face and the soldier’s sincere eyes. The wall inside him-built from pride and the belief that he must never burden others-finally began to crack.
Even the smallest trace of hope was irresistible to someone who had been trapped in darkness for too long.
“Really?” Flynn’s voice trembled.
“I swear it on my rank and my honor,” Elio said without hesitation.
Flynn closed his eyes. His chest rose and fell unevenly. After a long while, he opened them again. Something had changed in his gaze. There was struggle, hope, and also deep concern.
“I’ll go,” he finally said. However, the condition came immediately after. “But… Elio…. I need to settle for my mom and my son first. I can’t leave them here alone.”
That was his greatest worry.
His mother was old, and his son was still so young. If he left, what would happen to them?
Hearing this, Elio let out a breath of relief. For the first time in days,
a real sinile appeared on hus Bat
“That’s it? Don’t worry about that. The commander already thought of it. The farm takes families too everyone will get to go together. The military will arrange safe transport for your family and help you settle in there. If you’re still worried, we can bring your mom and your kid here right now, and we’ll leave together.”
