Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down

Chapter 97 See You at the End, With You Along the Way

Winona sat back and let out a laugh coldly, "Afraid? I don't know the meaning of the word."

A slight excitement crossed Lilian's eyes. She provoked Winona intentionally, so as to distract her.

Soon as she ate the food mixed with drugs, the race later in the afternoon would turn into her

nightmare!

She could visualize her extremely embarrassed face already. Her lips curled up thinking about this. To

hide her excitement, she lowered her head to eat. Her hands suddenly felt numbed for a second, her

spoon fell onto the floor.

She immediately bent to pick up the spoon and wiped it carefully with napkins. When she raised her

head again, she was ecstatic to see Winona devouring the food without any doubt.

Winona looked up at her suddenly and said suspiciously, "Why are you staring at me? You didn't…?

Her gaze fell on the food in front of her, "You didn't drug these foods, did you, Ms. Tucker?"

Lilian's face turned pale slightly, even her smile turned stiff. "Ha… You sure have…a good sense of

humor," she stuttered.

"You dare switch your tray with mine?" Winona gave her a half smile.

Lilian lowered her head and gobbled up a few spoonful of food at lightning speed, "Don't you mind? I

mean this is not hygienic."

For fear that Winona would really switch the tray with her, she finished up everything hastily.

Winona stared at her and she sneered, "I'm disgusted only by being in the same space and breathing

the same air with you," she said as she walked away with her tray.

Lilian almost choked hearing her words, she watched her left, feeling angry but smiling evilly, "Let's wait

and see in the race this afternoon."

She looked down and found that she had swept the tray cleaned. The way she gobbled just now

attracted the attention of the women around her.

She blushed instantly, immediately took a napkin and wiped her lips before she left elegantly with the

empty tray.

People began gossiping behind.

"She is the real bumpkin that pretends to be noble."

"Rumors have it that she's not biologically related to Mr. Tucker. She is adopted from the orphanage."

"Yeah, Mr. Tucker plans to marry her to General Snider, but he has no interest in her. she still clings to

him regardless. It's so disgusting."

Hearing those words, Lilian tightened her grip on the tray so hard that it was almost deformed. What do NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

they know! She truly loved Matt, and it was not about power or status. He was like a beacon of her life.

She would try her best to get close to him no matter the price, even if it cost both of their lives. She

would live and die with him.

She didn't care if he was seeing someone now. She would never give up as long as she was the one

with him toward the end. Hence, she would never let a single chance of getting close to him slide away,

never!

The race in the afternoon was a thirty-kilometers weight-bearing orienting race. All contestants must

complete the race by crossing the mountain and ringing the bell at the final destination carrying a fifty

kilograms load with them.

The rays of the sun at the beginning of fall were burning hot. Matt rubbed some sunscreen on his palm

and applied it gently on Winona's face. "Well, I regret letting you take part in this. I'm afraid your little

face will be scorched by the sun."

"Why? Will you dislike me afterwards?"

He held her chin abruptly and began kissing her eyes, face, and landed on her lips, "I won't mind even

if your skin turns as dark as charcoal. I'll kiss it till it's fair again."

Winona wiped off his saliva on her face helplessly. The sunscreen was all kissed away by him.

He patted lightly on her soft face sadly, "I'll wait for you at the finish line."

"What if I can't make it?" She joked.

"Then no one is allowed to ring the bell at the finish line," he smiled cunningly.

"Whoa, General Snider wants to cheat?" She asked, blinking her round eyes.

"If you fell behind the others, I don't mind cheating."

"Are you belittling me?"

He helped her tighten the load while smiling, and kissed her on the lips, "Do your best little witch. I'll be

waiting at the finish line."

After watching her depart, he removed his uniform, changed into a colorful shirt, loaded with a hundred-

kilo weight, and followed her.

It took no time for the panel judges to notice this strange and tall person with a hundred-kilo weight

walking leisurely amongst the female contestants.

The chief judge was infuriated when he heard about this. "Which bastard sneaks in? Stop him at once

and send him for military punishment!" He shouted as he pounded on the table.

The soldier judge came back with a pale face a moment later.

"Where is the bastard?"

"That bastard is… General Snider."

Slap! The chief judge swung a slap onto the soldier's face, "How dare you address him as bastard!

Gather up the soldiers at once to look at how effortlessly General Snider finished up a thirty kilometers

race despite shouldering a hundred-kilo weight. Watch and learn!"

The soldier went out covering his face, and he thought to himself, "The chief judge's face changed

faster than a speeding bullet. Having a status indeed is advantageous.'

Winona felt her steps were getting heavier now, the weight on her shoulders was like a mountain

pressing on her; even breathing became a burden. Her clothes were soaked in sweat, the sunscreen

on her face was messed up too, she looked ridiculous.

She was doing fine compared to others. Some women collapsed and broke down in tears, some gave

up and laid resting on the floor, letting the sprinklers car spray water on them without a single

resistance; no one dare to help them up before the race ended. Everything had to go according to the

rules of the race.

Winona felt her legs were as heavy as lead. Breathing was difficult and painful. Her throat was burning

hot. At this moment, a familiar figure appeared next to her.

"I didn't finish my line just now. I'll see you at the end, but staying with you along the way."

"Matt…" Her eyes turned misty seeing this handsome man. Sshe wanted to cry.

"Don't cry, save your energy."

She restrained herself from crying. His appearance motivated and fueled her with strength, so she

picked up the pace and moved forward.

Matt followed beside her, he slowed down just to be with her.

"I'm thirsty, Matt."

Though it was fall, the burning sun was no different than a summer day, her body was burning hot.

Furthermore, she was running with weight now; all the water in her body turned into sweats. All she

wanted now was to jump into a huge pond of water and gulp.

"Hang in there, I'll give you water at the corner in front."

Her eyes shone, "You have water with you?"

"There's a spring fountain in the front, with white bricks and red wall, the spring water tastes sweet too,

you can have as much as you want later."

Winona was delighted to hear that, she felt energetic again and sped up.

She realized it was all lies when they arrived. There was no spring water, only rocky walls.

"Matt! You liar!"

He held her face while smiling and kissed her passionately for some time. "Still thirsty?" He smiled and

asked looking at her reddish and moisturized lips.
