disciplined posture, expressions, and formidable aura they exuded
sent shivers down his spine.
The door swung open, and the distinct sound of military boots
echoed across the floor.
Declan adjusted his military cap and walked out expressionlessly.
After years of military service, he was able to maintain a stoic demeanor even in the presence of strangers.
“Attention!” The security guards immediately stood at attention and
saluted.
“Let’s go.” Declan walked past lan with a casual command, and the security guards followed suit.

However, Justin firmly pushed him away.
“No, I have to leave!” Justin insisted. “If I don’t go back to the headquarters soon, Gregory and Shannon will grow suspicious.
They will come up with an excuse to challenge my authority. It’s important. to keep my hospitalization and injury a secret.”

Tears welled up in his eyes out of distress..

That evening, Bella hosted a luxurious gathering at the KS World
Hotel.
It was loaded with fine wine and food to celebrate the reunion with
her third brother, Declan.
Axel, Ralph, and Amelia, who were working and studying in Savrow,
eagerly joined the gathering.
The siblings cherished their time together, creating a lively and joyful
atmosphere.
Unfortunately, they had to bid Declan farewell just as they were
toasting him.
Everyone looked at Declan with a frown on their faces. Bella’s eyes
turned red as she struggled to contain her emotions, and she resorted
to drinking to cope.

swiftly helped Justin move on.
She thought, ‘What a shameless man!’
“Bella!” Axel exclaimed. “I heard you went back to work as a forest
ranger on that mountain and almost fell off the cliff while saving
someone!”
Axel learned about Bella’s latest heroic act from Asher and embraced her with lingering fear, refusing to let go.
“You reckless girl! Do you want to scare your brothers to death? If anything happens to you, I’ll just follow you!”
