With admiration written all over his face, Austin nodded repeatedly and said, "Doctor Sharon, you have
made a great contribution this time. Now that we know where John is, don't worry. We will bring John
back safely."
"Uncle Austin, I want to go by myself." Sharon refused without hesitation. That was her man. No matter
what the result was, she had to see it with her own eyes.
"But you..." With an embarrassed look on his face, Austin advised, "Sharon, you can't act on impulse in
such a situation. You are pregnant now. You should think more about the baby. Besides, the people
there are not easy to deal with. I'm afraid..."
"They don't know me at all. They won't do anything to me. If John still remembers the past, he won't
ignore me if he sees that I'm in danger. If he doesn't love me anymore, I believe he won't stand by
either. I trust him."
Austin sighed. It seemed that he would never be able to convince her. No matter what reason he had,
she had her own way to refute him.
"Okay, I can let you go there, but you can't act on your own. Otherwise, I will be doomed if anything
happens to you."
-
After the last examination for Wayne, Sharon told him to have a good rest and left the base camp with
her squad that night.
Because the mission was very dangerous and she was pregnant, Austin specially arranged a female
soldier to follow her.
"Nice to meet you, Doctor Sharon. My name is Olivia. I'm here to protect you. If you feel uncomfortable
or need anything, please tell me."
"…… Okay."
In fact, Sharon didn't want to make trouble for anyone, but she didn't know how to refuse Austin's
kindness.
After all, he was entrusted by Grandpa Qiao.
The five of them got off the plane and went straight to the camp where the squad was.
The conditions here were worse, but they arranged the best place for Sharon.
Although many people were dissatisfied and thought she was here to make trouble, they just dared not
to say anything. Of course, Sharon was not a fool. Anyone with a discerning eye could see how bad
their looks were, not to mention that she was a doctor who was good at gauging people's words and
expressions and also knew psychotherapy.
"Olivia, you don't have to take care of me. I can do it myself." Olivia Jiang made a fire for her, took the
quilt and made the bed for her, which made Sharon feel sorry.
She had never been taken care of like this at home, let alone here.
Olivia Jiang glanced at her and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. This is the order of the superior. I'm
a soldier. I am just obeying the order."
"……"
Sharon didn't say a word. After Olivia Jiang packed up everything and left, she also went out of the
tent.
Looking at the bright moonlight in the sky and the burning fire, Sharon's heart was as cold as this
winter.
She had thought that her life would be as peaceful as everyone else's. She would have a stable job,
get married and have children, watch her children grow up, and then grow old
But who would have thought that when she fell in love with John, her life was destined to be tough?
She had been in love with him for so many years.
When things got better for her, John was gone for a task.
And now he forgot her and was with another woman. With a bitter smile, she thought to herself, 'If John
could come back, I would take care of him for the rest of my life.'
It was a sleepless night. Sharon almost opened her eyes for the whole night.
At dawn, she went out of the tent and began to prepare breakfast for everyone, but no one was willing
to let her work.
A man staggered farther and farther. Suddenly, a black Jeep stopped at the gate of the village not far
away. The figure getting out of the car made her stunned.
It was John!
Just as she was about to run over, she suddenly stopped. There was another woman coming down
with John. She must be the woman named Caroline.
Seeing that John held Caroline intimately into the village, she felt a dull pain in her heart.
She kept looking at the figure of John until he disappeared at the entrance of the village.
Tears fell down unconsciously.
She covered her belly with her hand and said, "Baby, have you seen it? He is your father."
She hadn't seen him for five months. She missed him so much...
'John, have you ever thought of me?'
She didn't know how long she had been standing. When Sharon was about to go back, she suddenly
lost consciousness.
"Girl, you are awake." Sharon opened her eyes and turned her eyes slightly. Looking at the two strange
and old faces in front of her, she was stunned.
The old lady looked at her with an amiable smile and said, "Girl, don't be nervous. My old man and I
were picking wild vegetables on the mountain. We happened to see you faint, so we brought you back.
I have asked the doctor to check on you. You are too tired and pregnant. Why did you go up the
mountain alone?"
Sharon didn't know what to say.
Although the two elders in front of her didn't look like bad people, she still didn't dare to speak.
After all, it was so close to Jerome's place. No one knew who these people were.
Seeing her pale face, they guessed that she must be too scared to speak. The old man came over with
a glass of water and put it beside her. He said softly, "Here is water. You can drink some first. Don't
worry. We are not bad people. We have lived here for generations. We often take in some passers-by
who come to travel or for lodging. I don't think you are from this place. Have you lost your way? Where
are your family and friends?"
Sharon was indeed thirsty. She looked vigilantly at the two of them, picked up the cup and took a sip.
Her lips were wet, but she didn't drink it.
She said softly, "I'm here to find my husband."
"Your husband?" The two looked at each other and asked, "Where is your husband? If you don't mind
telling us, maybe we can help you find some information."
"I...I..." Sharon looked at them. Tears welled up in her eyes. "My husband's name is John. He's
missing."
"……" Seeing her sobbing, the two old people felt sorry for her. The old woman gently supported her
back and comforted her. "It's okay. Have a good rest here. We will help you find some information
about your husband. If he is in this place, you will definitely find him. Don't worry."
Sharon had a rest for a while. She was about to leave, but the old couple didn't allow her to leave. They
said that it was not safe for her to leave alone with a big belly.
On the one hand, she thought that if Olivia Jiang found that she was missing, they would definitely be
anxious. On the other hand, since she had already been out and the old couple were local, it would be
easy to find John in private. She thought about it for a while and decided to stay until she found John.
