Sir!?
Jack Turner: “???”
Favian Bird: “???”
The two of them were completely dumbfounded, because in the current situation, only those with power could be the boss. That’s why they were so enthusiastic about this Jaime Rowe, who had already become a big shot. But now, what was going on? Jaime Rowe’s attitude had proven that this person had a higher military rank than him. They had kicked an iron plate!
“Twice now, Jaime Rowe.”
Robin walked over, patted Jaime Rowe’s shoulder, making Jaime Rowe a little frightened. He was about to say something, but Robin patted him again, “Fortunately, your conscience is still there.”
Jaime Rowe was not a bad person, just forced by the situation. If he didn’t ally with these powerful families, it would be very easy to be destroyed in the upcoming turmoil.
“I am willing to accept punishment.”
However, Jaime Rowe still lowered his head, looking ashamed. As a soldier, he had now become a speculator, violating the oath he had made when he first enlisted, looking at the national flag.
“Those who offend my country will be punished, no matter how far!”
But now, the enemy was almost at their doorstep, and he was still bullying his own people. How humiliating and shameful!
“If you are really willing, in a few days, there will be a big battle. I will let you be the vanguard, go to the battlefield, and fulfill your original oath.”
“Thank you, commander.”
Jaime Rowe’s face lit up with joy, and he saluted. As for whether there would be a battle in a few days, he didn’t care. That was the business of the higher-ups. All he needed to do was charge ahead. A soldier’s duty is to obey orders. As for whether he would die, that would be an honor for him, as a soldier, to die on the battlefield for his country and his people. Death was not to be feared, but living in disgrace was.
To be honest, if it weren’t for the command from above not allowing any team to act rashly, they would have already led their troops out to fight the enemy. Patrolling St. Sunday every day was driving him crazy.
“What about these people?”
Jaime Rowe’s gaze swept over Favian Bird and Jack Turner with a fierce look.
“We were wrong, we didn’t recognize you. Please spare us.”
The two of them knelt down immediately, full of humility, truly frightened. They never expected that a friend Rosey Chambers casually met on the street would turn out to be such a big shot.
“You handle it yourself.”
Robin waved his hand.
“Then, arrest them.”
Jaime Rowe ordered his men to arrest the few of them and take them away. “Commander, what now?” Jaime Rowe asked tentatively.
“You can go now. If there’s anything, I will contact you.”
“Yes, sir.”
Upon hearing this, Jaime Rowe left immediately. In a short while, only the four of them were left in the sickroom.
“Thank… thank you.”
Rosey Chambers stroked her hair, walked over with reddened eyes, knowing that she had Robin to thank this time. Otherwise, she didn’t know what her fate would have been.
“Don’t cry, no crying allowed!”
Robin scolded her again, startling Rosey Chambers, who sniffled and retracted her tears, “I… won’t cry… won’t cry…”
“Today I helped you, so how are you going to repay me?” Robin asked menacingly.
“Ah… I… I… I…”
Rosey Chambers’ face turned red, her hands clutching the corners of her clothes. After hesitating for a long time, she finally bit her lip, “I… I… The only thing valuable about me is my… body… and it’s my first time…”
She thought that Robin was like Favian Bird, having ulterior motives. However…
*Thud*
Robin’s hand knocked on Rosey Chambers’ head, followed by his voice, “Fool, what are you thinking? I have a wife, and my daughter is already six years old. Can’t you think of a normal way to repay me, like treating me to a meal? What’s in your head all day?”
“I…”
At this point, Rosey Chambers’ face turned even redder, like a red apple.
She wanted to argue vehemently, but she didn’t know what to refute. That was exactly what she had just thought. “Fine, just treat me to dinner tonight.” Robin stopped teasing her. This little girl was young and inexperienced, easily embarrassed to the point of her face turning as red as a monkey’s behind. He wondered if Leslie would become like this in the future. Probably not. That girl was cunning and clever.
After saying that, Robin walked over to the old woman who had regained consciousness once but fainted again due to severe hunger and malnutrition. She was still lying in bed. “Do you know how to make porridge?” Robin asked, tilting his head.
“Ah… yes… yes…” Rosey Chambers nodded. She was a country girl who had been doing farm work since she was a child. She was very familiar with making porridge and cooking; she was down-to-earth, capable, pure and lovely. In college, she was often called a “hidden gem”. Her beauty had been discovered since her freshman year. Without a trace of makeup, she was still breathtaking.
Throughout college, people pursued her, but she always refused them. No one could ever win her over. “Let’s take your grandmother back home to get some good rest,” Robin suggested. There was no need for her to stay in a hospital room reserved for patients with terminal illnesses. Rosey Chambers’ grandmother simply needed proper nutrition. Once she went home to rest and eat light meals, she would gradually recover.
“Ah, alright.” Rosey Chambers agreed. In no time, they helped the old woman into the car and left the highly sought-after St. Sunday Hospital. On the road, Rosey Chambers asked a question she had been meaning to ask: “Is it true that Scales Styles has a terminal illness? He looked so scared.”
“No.” Robin shook his head. “He just had bugs in his pillow, making his sleep uncomfortable, and then he got a stiff neck. He just needs to change his pillow.”
“What about eating pot ash and dogtail grass?”
“I lied.”
“You’re so bad.” Rosey Chambers covered her mouth. She suddenly realized Robin was quite mischievous. But when she looked at Jeff Reczek again, she thought Robin wasn’t all that bad and even had a gentle side.
Soon, they arrived at a somewhat dilapidated building. “4304.” They quickly helped the old woman upstairs. Upon entering, a simple and elegant living room appeared before Robin’s eyes. The room was decorated in an old-fashioned manner. There was also a pink bedroom with some dolls inside.
“That’s mine. Sometimes I come over.” Rosey Chambers touched her head, feeling a bit shy. However, at that moment, a man with a flashy and sleazy demeanor, balding and in his thirties, walked in from outside. Seeing people inside, he immediately waved a piece of paper and said, “The old woman is back, huh? Hurry up and sign this contract, or I’ll make sure you can’t rest in peace even after you’re dead.”
