Chapter 1539
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Back on the playground the young soldiers were talking amongst themselves. Concentrating on the
training? Forget it.
âI think Chief knows her. I heard him almost call her by name. I donât think he wants us to know,â a man
said.
âI heard it too. And? Knowing her name doesnât mean anything. Anyway, we got to train these guys,â a
second man retorted, turning to walk away.
Yet another man grabbed him and said seriously, âWe only knew about Megan. Now this girl?
Chiefâs holding out on us.â
âRight. Talbot and Bowman say he doesnât get out much. When heâs not visiting his hometown, heâs in

Their eagerness to please her outstripped her desire to get Wesley to notice her.
In the infirmary, a doctor applied some cortisone cream to Blairâs neck and forehead.
âThe laceration to your neck will heal soon, but I donât like that Lump on your forehead. You need a
CAT scan and a proper exam to have that checked out.â
âSet that up for me, okay? Thanks, doc.â
She knew Talbot and Bowman were busy with training, so Blair went to the hospital on her own.
She had a CAT scan to determine whether she had a concussion, and she got a clean bill of health.
Relieved, she went home to take a nap.
But before long, she was jarred awake by her ringtone. It was her uncle
