âCaptain, next time you see her, make sure to ask for a few more bottles. It would be great if sheâs selling this medicine; we could definitely use it on the field!â
Every time they went on missions, getting injured was inevitable. If they had this medicine, they would suffer a lot less in the future.
âThey had a point,â Adam thought.
Adamâs desire to find her grew even stronger. He nodded seriously and said, âDonât worry, I will definitely find that young lady.â
Not only did he want to repay her, but he also wanted to make a business deal with her.
âAlright, I wonât waste time here anymore. Iâm going now; I need to see my sister!â
With that, Adam made haste. He jumped back into the car, slammed the gas pedal, and the damaged vehicle sped off like a rocket.
Sean and Ashton had been waiting at the agreed location for a long time. They were starting to get worried since Adam had not shown up yet.
âWhy hasnât Adam arrived yet? Could something have happened?â
Adamâs profession demanded such secrecy that even his family didnât know the details of his missions. He always came back injured, which made them anxious every single time.
The dented black car eventually came to a steady stop in front of Sean and Ashton. Adam got out, expecting to be warmly embraced by his two younger brothers.
But to his surprise, Sean and Ashton both took a step back in unison.
âAdam, did you⦠go begging on the streets?â
Ashton and Sean both gaped at Adam, who was adorned in tattered clothes and had injuries on his face.
If they hadnât recognized him, they might have thought he was some homeless beggar.
âI had to deal with some matters on the way back,â Adam said nonchalantly. âWhereâs Jacob?â
At the mention of Jacob, Sean and Ashton couldnât help but roll their eyes.
âJacobâs with Yvie!â
They had to come pick Adam up while Jacob stayed behind with Yvie. How shameless of their oldest brother!
Adam couldnât help but click his tongue, showing a hint of cheekiness. With a precious sister like Yvette, Jacob wouldnât even come to greet Adam, though it had been a while since they last met.
Jacob was indeed biased.
âLetâs head back now!â Adam was eager to see his sister and didnât want to dwell on the fact that Jacob hadnât come to pick him up. Besides, he would need Jacobâs help with something later..
After getting into the spacious car prepared by the Murray family, Adam finally felt at ease.
âAdam, where did you go for your mission this time?â
âSeeing all your injuries, was this mission very dangerous?â
Adam usually wouldnât bother responding to them, but his curiosity about his precious sister got the better of him today. As such, he casually answered all their questions.
Then, he immediately asked, âSean, Ashton, is Yvie really cute and obedient?â
âOf course!â Sean and Ashton answered in unison. âYvie is definitely the loveliest and most obedient girl in the world!â
