Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1277
She must’ve taken everything, including potential accidents of the armory, into consideration! It was one of her many countermeasures to build the route next to the sea to prevent catastrophic events in times of emergencies!
I’m sure the vicious Eddie isn’t aware of these! He thought of making use of the route to store the weapons for his personal gain, but he had never taken Judith’s countermeasure into consideration!
These are precisely the things setting them apart from one another! This is the reason he will never be a match for the honorable woman! She was the sole reason the nation triumphed in the war of North Sea!
By the time Devin returned to the ground, there was only a pile of rubble next to the seemingly bottomless hole in the middle of the dome.
Seconds after Jake rendezvoused with Devin, he asked, “What are we going to do next? Shall we head upstairs?”
Devin nodded and started climbing his way out of the dome with Jake again. It was another tedious journey, but they finally made it to the surface.
They secretly gulped when they saw skyscrapers all around them when they finally made it out of the dome.
It turned out Sebastian was nearby when he received the call from Devin. After conducting a thorough analysis with the copy of the military map he had, he concluded the first checkpoint of the route was somewhere nearby the coastal city.
Therefore, it didn’t take long for him to reach the duo shortly after the call from Devin.
Standing next to the ladder with his eyes glued to the bottomless hole in the middle of nowhere, Sebastian asked, “What just happened down there? Is everything fine?”
Devin could no longer pull himself together after making it out alive. He summarized the series of incidents he had just gone through with Jake and shared his speculations with Sebastian.
Sebastian couldn’t believe the duo was almost dead a few minutes ago. It took him some time to snap out of bewilderment.
Judith was truly an awesome woman!
Seconds after he climbed down the ladder to the dome and inspected the surroundings, he dispatched a team to investigate the rest of the checkpoints.
Another team was also dispatched to inform the authorities of the cities along the route because there might be similar armories throughout the checkpoints along the route.
He returned and helped Devin up after ensuring he had everything in place to ensure the safety of the innocent inhabitants.
Sebastian asked in a sarcastic manner, “Shall we rush you to the hospital?”
“That won’t be necessary,” Devin announced while shaking his head. He turned around and looked at Jake.
A few seconds later, he burst out laughing because Jake wouldn’t stop muttering to himself. Devin suggested, “Why don’t you rush him to the hospital instead? He must be horrified after going through such a life-threatening incident.”
Jake complained with a frown, “Sebastian, he’s making fun of me again! I’m not as wimpy as he says!”
“Indeed, it was very courageous of you to keep him company for the mission.” Sebastian thought Jake deserved to be complimented.
The trio leaned against one another since two of them were heavily injured and unable to move around without others’ support.
“Shall we send you home tonight?” Devin asked.
“Can we not? I’m afraid Dad’s going to pick on me for trying something reckless if he’s aware I’ve accidentally injured myself again!” Jake rebuked.
Seconds after Sebastian heard the bickering duo’s conversation, he offered, “If that’s the case, I’ll check all of you into the most luxurious wards available in the hospital.”
The trio thought it was great to gather around after being apart for such a long time. They couldn’t help but recall the good old days they spent together.
Unfortunately, things would never be the same because there were merely three of them left when there were once four of them.
The one supporting the heavily injured duo fastened his grip in silence and warned himself to keep his friends safe at all costs.
Sebastian headed out early in the morning after spending a carefree night with his friends. He was set on a journey to destroy the rest of the armories as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the injured Devin had to stay in the hospital due to the aftermath of the catastrophic event.
On the other hand, Jake’s father had shown up and brought him home shortly after Sebastian’s departure in the morning.
He asserted in a serious tone when he was at the hospital, “Devin, if you truly consider Jake a close friend of yours, please stop getting him involved in something similar in the future.”
Jake’s father and Jake were also members of the army years ago. As a matter of fact, Jake and Devin became acquainted during their time in the army.
When Jake’s father realized the risk associated with the occupation, he thought of dissociating himself from the members of the army. In the end, he joined the corporate world.
Devin would never resent his friend’s father in spite of his harsh remarks. After all, the man in front of him had tried his best to stay away from the army over the years.
In the end, Jake had no choice but to leave with his father.
It was meant to be a trivial incident, but the call Sebastian received unveiled the serious accident going on behind the scene.
