Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 214

Kaelen chuckled. "Well, that was supposed to be classified, but since the civil war in Solisia has already erupted, there's no point in hiding it anymore.

"You've probably heard of diplomatic intelligence operatives, right? Ambassadors posted abroad strengthen ties with local governments, assess the risks of conflict, and funnel firsthand intelligence back home to help formulate strategic deployments. But as for who physically delivers that intel—it's covert operatives like Danielle."

Logan let out a cold laugh. "She hid it well."

"After all, the geopolitical landscape of Solisia is highly complex. We share borders with seven or eight different countries and control a crucial strait. Once whispers of a civil war spread, every nation dispatched operatives to gather intel."

Logan nodded slowly.

Yet, he didn't particularly care.

Whether Danielle was running covert ops or away for training, what did that have to do with her initiating their breakup?

Since they had ended things, it was best they both moved on.

The evacuation missions continued for another three exhausting days.

The Sea Dragon Elite Unit finally completed their mandate, boarding a transport plane back to the island.

After executing high-intensity operations for so long, the entire team was utterly drained. Casting aside all professionalism, they slumped in their seats, snoring loudly over the drone of the engines.

But Logan couldn't sleep.

Sitting directly across from him was Danielle.

She wasn't sleeping either; her eyes were locked intensely on him.

Logan shifted uncomfortably under her relentless gaze.

Finally, he couldn't hold back. "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Danielle's tone held a hint of coquettishness. "My wound hurts and itches."

Next to them, Dash's snoring paused for a few seconds before he adjusted his position and went back to sleep.

Logan sighed. "Tough it out. We're almost back to the island. Have a doctor rebandage it when we land."

"You have to come with me," Danielle demanded.

Knowing Sloane was stationed at the hospital, there was no way Logan was going to accompany his ex-girlfriend.
