The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 598

“You don't have to do that, I'm not a commander anymore.”

Sean waved his hand slightly and motioned Rachel to sit down.

“Commander, you are!

“You'll always be the commander in my heart! You'll always be the commander in
the hearts of countless soldiers in the Northwest!”

Rachel said these words very seriously and then lowered her hand obediently.
Sean did not want to say more on this topic, so he shook his head and remained
silent. When Rachel looked at Sean who was sitting in a wheelchair, the tip of her
nose could not help but itch again.

Rachel could accept that Sean fell from the peak of glory because she knew that
with Sean's. ability, there would be a day when he would regain his glory.
However, the most unacceptable thing for her was that Sean had now become a
cripple.

Although this did not affect Sean's talent because he could still devise strategies
as long as he could use his brain.

As for a warrior who once fought on the battlefield to face the enemy in person,
losing his legs meant that his whole life had lost its meaning.

At this moment, Rachel felt like she was suffocated by a layer of cotton in her
heart.

“Commander, I've heard all about it.”

Rachel still did not dare to sit down but stood in front of Sean and said as she
wiped the tip of her nose.

“Mm.”

Sean nodded slightly and did not say much.

“Commander, I feel the injustice for you.

“When you were in the army back then, you guarded the border so that the
enemy would not dare to invade, and also guarded the stability of the thousands
of families in Dragon Kingdom.

“There is a myriad of twinkling lights in this land because of you but nobody is
willing to provide a place for you to live. I feel that it’s unfair to you.”

Rachel gritted her teeth slightly. This was the thought in her heart.

However, when Sean heard the words, he smiled and shook his head.

“When you're holding the post, you should be responsible and perform your
duties.

“I used to be a warrior and it was my duty to protect my family and the country.
“Nobody owes me anything, and they're not obligated to keep a stranger they
don't know." Sean was optimistic. After he regained his strength, he did not care
so much about many things.

“Commander, y-you really think so?”

Rachel widened her eyes, looked at Sean, and asked.

“It matters not to me.”

Sean waved his hand slightly and replied with a casual tone.

“You don’t mind, but I do!

“Others may not know, but I know how much you've done for Dragon Kingdom.
“If others don’t want to take care of you, I'm willing to take care of you!

“If Commander doesn’t mind, you can treat the Summers Residence as your
home!”

Rachel widened her eyes and spoke to Sean with all her courage.

Her tone was extremely serious.

When Sean heard the words, he did not expect Rachel to say such a thing at all.
If he was still a commander, let alone the Summers Residence, even if it was the
richest family

in River City, it would be an honor for them to have Sean visit.

Now, however, Sean was just a loser in a wheelchair in the eyes of others.
Rachel did not even despise him?

“I'm just a burden now.

“Can't you see?”

Sean pointed to both of his legs.

“Commander, you are not a burden.

“You're the legendary commander of Dragon Kingdom. You're the hero who
defends the country and the world.

“You are still my savior!”

Rachel's eyes widened and she still maintained her extreme seriousness.

Em

“Back then, our third intelligence team went deep behind enemy lines to get
intelligence.

“But we accidentally exposed our weaknesses, our whereabouts were
discovered, and everyone wanted to abandon us.

“You were the only one who spoke out against all opinions and said to everyone
that you would never give up on any warrior.

“Also, you led your troops to fight to save us.

“Without you, there would be no Rachel Summers in the world. So, no matter
what others. think of you, in my heart, you're definitely not a burden.

“You're my hero! You saved me!”

Rachel's eyes widened. Her eyes were a little red when she said that.

At that time, Rachel and the others were in despair. They also knew that the top
command would definitely abandon them.

It was because rescuing a few dozen people might mean losing hundreds of
warriors and this was definitely not a good trade.

Therefore, they were all despairing and prepared to die.

However, at that time, Sean arrived with his troops. Seeing the flag held high in
the distance, Rachel and the others burst into grateful tears.

That was the moment when looking at Sean's stalwart figure, Rachel, who had
always been sturdy, was completely conquered.

Since then, she had developed a special feeling for Sean.

“I did this not for you, but for the soldiers that risk their lives to gather intelligence.
I'll definitely not abandon you or anyone.

“Whether it's you or someone else, if I can save them, I'll definitely do my best to
save them.

“This is nothing.”

Sean waved his hand slightly. He found that Rachel's state seemed a little wrong
at this time.

“It's nothing to you, but it's important to me.

“So, no matter what you become, you're forever my savior.

“If Commander doesn’t mind, I, Rachel Summers, am willing to take care of you
for the rest of your life. Please give me a chance!”

Rachel bowed deeply to Sean.

Rachel had already expressed her feelings for Sean.

She was willing to spend the rest of her life taking care of Sean’s second half of
his life. Was this not obvious enough?

No matter how stupid Sean was, he could still feel something.

Rachel's feelings for him might not be limited to that kind of comrade—in-arms
feeling.
