Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1937

Chapter 1937

“Hello?” When the call connected, a familiar predatory voice rang out.

Natalie cowered instinctively at his voice.

Matteo added, “Who is this? Why aren’t you talking?”

Natalie couldn’t bring herself to utter a word.

A long while later, she gripped the phone and stammered, “l-lt’s me. I miss my daddy. Can you bring me back?”

“What?”

Matteo was training on the training ground. Sweat dripped down his forehead, and he was taken aback to hear her voice.

Wait a minute. Is this the little crybaby?

Comprehension dawned, and he halted in his tracks. Silence ensued.

He didn’t want to tell her that her father was dead.

Matteo hung up despondently.

“What’s wrong? Who did you talk to on the phone? Why are you acting this way?” his friend asked in concern after noticing his expression.

All Matteo wanted was to stay silent. He would have difficulty breathing whenever he recalled the photo of the body covered with a white cloth.

Right then, their discipline teacher showed up. He spotted Matteo and waved at him. “Matteo Wand, come here!”

“Got it!” Matteo responded curtly and ran over to him.

A few minutes later, he was brought to the higher-ups’ office in the military school. There, he got to meet several strangers. One of them was a professional­looking woman.

Matteo glanced at the other students beside him in surprise.

“Captain Warlow, these are the students I told you about. They are the most agile and smartest students among their peers. Which ones will you pick?”

The discipline teacher introduced them to the lady after bringing Matteo and his friends into the office.

Captain? Is she here to pick a few talents?

Matteo fell into deep thought while his friends gave the woman curious and earnest stares.

As military school students, they were prepared to serve the country anytime. Thus, they couldn’t help but grow curious about why the captain came here.

/ still remember her sweet voice pleading with me to bring her back to her daddy. Why? Why did he fall prey to the bad guys? He’s an Emmanuel, and the Emmanuels are related to the Hayes family. Who the f*ck did that to him? Does the person have a death wish?
