Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 213

The family quarters.

Dawn had already broken, and Sloane Sutton was up preparing breakfast.

While peeling an apple, her knife slipped, slicing into her finger.

Crimson drops of blood steadily dripped from the wound.

For some inexplicable reason, a suffocating wave of anxiety washed over her heart.

Solisia.

Logan and his team had retreated to a secure encampment.

Although Danielle's arm was bandaged, blood was still seeping through the dressing. It needed immediate attention from a combat medic.

A medic cut away the sleeve of her uniform, revealing a jagged chunk of flesh torn away by the bullet. As the tourniquet was loosened, dark crimson blood poured out once more.

It was a gruesome sight.

Seeing this, Logan's fists clenched involuntarily, a deep crease forming between his brows.

Danielle had taken that bullet to save his life.

His mind uncontrollably drifted back to the days of their past.

Once, during a maritime operation, they had been vastly outnumbered by pirates and trapped in a ship's cabin. Both had sustained injuries, and ironically, Danielle had been shot in the arm back then too.

They had both believed they were going to die on that ship.

As Logan tended to her wound, he had asked, "If we actually die today, are you scared?"

Danielle had replied, "No shit, of course I'm scared. I haven't even confessed my feelings to the man I love yet. I want to spend the rest of my life with him!"

Logan had asked, "Who is the man you love?"

"You!" Danielle had stared at him with unwavering determination. "Logan, if we make it out of here alive, will you be my boyfriend?"

Logan chuckled. "Let's focus on getting out first."

"No, promise me right now!"

"Alright, I promise." Outside, the pirates were multiplying by the second. They had already decided to blow the ship. Even if the explosion didn't kill them, they would likely drown in the freezing ocean.

"Logan, are you afraid of dying?"
