“Um… I, I still need to stand guard.” He made up an excuse to go out.
Lizzie warmly greeted, “Just stay with your commander, no need to go out. When it’s time to eat, let’s eat together.”
She said, already wrote down the dishes she wanted.
After finishing writing, Jarred immediately stood up and took the paper from her hand.
“You’re not feeling well, so let me go instead!” Jarred said with a strong will to survive.
He realized where he went wrong, he spent Lizzie’s money! Gotta make it right!
Lizzie didn’t refuse, but took out a stack of money from her pocket and handed it to him, “Thanks, Jarred.”
Jarred thought it was too hot, so he didn’t dare to take it!
“I said I thanked Mr. Guinn and treated him. If you don’t accept it, then it’s not me treating you. I still need to find time to treat him again and take up more of his time,” Lizzie pressed the money into Jarred’s hand. Jarred glanced at Terrence and said, “Actually, it’s not impossible…..” His gaze met Terrence’s, he quickly stood up straight and looked away.
However, when he saw Terrence nodding at him, he quickly took the money Lizzie gave him and went to the food pick–up counter to pay and collect the food.

Soon, the dishes came back – “steamed fish, roast pork chop, curry vegetables, and a salad.”
All were hearty dishes.
Terrence saw the food and raised an eyebrow.
Lizzie’s gratitude was pretty sincere.
Terrence didn’t beat around the bush, he just picked up his utensils and started eating with Jarred.
Both of them were soldiers, they ate very quickly.
Lizzie had only taken a few bites when they finished.
Although they ate quickly, their dining habits were good. They only ate their own portion, and Lizzie’s portion was still intact.
Lizzie finished her meal calmly, then Terrence drove her back to the entrance of Acagoza Heights.
After Lizzie got off the car, Terrence added, “Owe me a thank–you gift.”
Lizzie’s mouth twitched, what else does she need besides her skills as a commander?
Although she was cursing in her heart, she replied, “Okay.”
Jeep left, and Lizzie wheeled herself home.
Emery came out to meet her at the entrance of Acagoza Heights at that time, because of the Frazier family kidnapping Katherine, he was still a bit scared, plus it was getting dark after dinner.
He waited here, counting the time.
Chapter147
Facing the concern of her family, Lizzie just felt warm inside.
The next day.
Theron woke up in the hostel and sat up suddenly.
Yesterday’s events, he still has some recollection of. He remembers Johanna helping him into the hotel.
When he finally saw clearly, he realized the room was empty and Johanna was nowhere to be found.
Looking at myself again, everything was fine except for taking off my coat, so I finally breathed a sigh of relief
Immediately, he saw a note on the table with a bowl of oatmeal still warm next to it.
Theron picked up the note, the handwriting was elegant, but the content was simple and a bit distant.
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, revealing a bitter smile.
Johanna only had Efren in her heart, she was willing to have a child out of wedlock for him.
Between him and Johanna, they clearly followed etiquette and kept their boundaries.
They never had a single thought they shouldn’t have.
But, everyone seemed to think there was some kind of unclear relationship between them.
Theron didn’t touch that bowl of oatmeal. He didn’t come back all night yesterday. He needs to hurry back to Equinox Hospital.
Chapter147
As soon as he stepped into the hospital, he sensed that something was off
In the hallway, I saw him and immediately dodged, then pointed and gestured in his direction.
Their voices were very low, but Theron, with his keen senses, still heard some snippets of their conversation – “He went to the inn with that Johanna.”
“That Johanna… she was so careless.”
Theron listened, furrowing his brow even tighter.
There were too many misunderstandings about them. He wasn’t worried about himself, but about Johanna and the baby in her belly.
Thinking about this, Theron arrived at Jasmin’s hospital room.
I pushed the door open and saw Johanna by Jasmin’s sickbed, comforting her with words.
She spoke softly and patiently, which really got to Theron.
Theron was feeling even worse, she was already struggling herself, and now she had to take care of his family too.
Seeing Theron come in, Johanna’s expression froze for a moment.
She almost immediately avoided his gaze, looking a bit awkward.
She hurriedly said to Vanessa, “Madam Howland, I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
“I’ll come see Jasmin again tomorrow.”
