Chapter 1566
"Vanessa, you'd better put away your little thoughts, or I won't let you off the hook." Julien's cold warning came from her side. Vanessa looked at him displeasedly, "You've only been married to me for less than half an hour and now you're starting to give me an attitude. How am I supposed to survive the rest of my days with you?"
Julien said, "Come on, don’t think I don’t know what’s going on in that head of yours."
"Do you think you're one of my brain cells? How could you know everything I'm thinking."
Julien replied, "That nickname was given to me in my childhood. It's nothing serious but I was happy to be called that when I was a kid. It has nothing to do with me now."
Vanessa smiled proudly and said, "So Mr. Kyle, you were also a cute Little Precious when you were a child. You weren't as cold and indifferent as you are now."
"Cold and indifferent?" Julien raised his eyebrows and a cheeky smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Last night, you said that I almost scalded you with my body heat. And now, you blame me for being cold. Women like you, are really fickle!"
Vanessa was exasperated and said, "Please have some shame."
This man would even joke about sex!
Julien said, "I think you liked me heating you up last night."
"Shut up! Drive your car carefully. If you spew nonsense again, I'm going to ignore you forever."
Goodness! The intimate life between a couple should be better kept private! Why did they have to say these details a loud? He was shameless, but yet she still wanted him.
Julien said, "Alright, I’ll stop talking."
The car accelerated towards the Chatterton Town Military Region.
It took them more than an hour to arrive at the Military Region. When they arrived, the outer boundary of the military area was heavily guarded to check the cars passing by. It was difficult to approach the military area, let alone go in.
Kevin and Karen's cars were blocked outside, and so was Karen Joy's. Even Mia's car couldn't gain entry. When Julien and Vanessa arrived, they were all stopped a few kilometers away from the military region.
Then, Mia called Neil but no one answered.
"Dad, what exactly happened?" Although the whole family was there, Julien still posed the question to his father, who was the backbone of the family As long as Kevin was here, no matter how big the problem was, the other family members would not be in a panic. Everyone trusted that Kevin could handle it well.
"I don't know for the time being." Kevin turned to look at Mia. "What did Neil say to you on the phone?"
"He said that something has happened to Levi. After that, he hung up without another word." Mia wiped her tears. "If something horrible happens to Levi, what would Neil do? Levi is our only son!"
"Don't be so pessimistic," Kevin patted Mia's shoulder. "You guys take a rest over there. I'll make a call to Neil."
Mia shook her head. "No, I won't go."
Kevin frowned, so Karen quickly stepped forward to persuade Mia, "Mia, it's pointless for you to be anxious. Why don't we stand aside and calm down, so that I can figure out what's going on first? After that, we can discuss what to do next."
Karen Joy and Vanessa also hurried forward to hold Mia. "Aunt Mia, come on. Let's figure out the situation first.'
Kevin then dialed Neil’s number. It was very noisy on the other end of the phone and Neil hung up after saying it was not a grave situation.
Kevin hung up and looked at Mia and the others again. "Levi should be fine. Everyone can head home first."
Mia said, "I'll be worried if I don't see him."
Kevin said, "Then tell me, what can you do now?"
Yes, what could she do?
Usually, she thought that she was very powerful and even the general of the Chatterton Town Military Region was under her control. However, when she really met with trouble, she knew that she was incapable and could do nothing to help both Neil and Levi...
Mia looked in the direction of the military region. "Forget it, let's go back," she thought meekly.
For now, if she went home and waited for the news calmly, that would be more helpful to both Neil and their son.
Kevin added, "Julien, stay here. The rest of you should return first."
After they left, Kevin dialed Neil’s number again. Soon, someone came to greet them and ushered them into the military zone.
Neil was in the temporary infirmary set up in the military area, where several military doctors were busy at work. Kevin and Julien went forward to ask about the situation, finding out that Levi was injured. The military doctors were busy tending to him. Clumps of bloody gauze were delivered from the ward...
Kevin said worriedly, "Neil..."
Neil breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Everything’s fine."
Julien asked, "Uncle Neil, what's going on?"
Neil said, "There was an accident during the combat exercise. Several members of the Red Eagle squad were injured, including Levi." Julien did not continue asking questions. It seemed that this accident was quite serious. However, Levi was usually very agile in his mind and body, so how could he have been injured?
"Hey, could you be more gentle? You’ re so ruthless that my leg is going to be broken by you!" Levi's complaints of pain came from the room. His voice did not sound weak, so perhaps he wasn't injured too badly.
Julien said, "Uncle, I'll go take a look at him."
Neil nodded and said, "Go ahead."
After Julien went to see Levi, Kevin asked lightly, "Was it really just an accident during the exercise?"
"I also thought there was something else," Neil said. "I immediately sent someone to cordon off the military area and check the scene. It was indeed an accident during the combat exercise. There was no other suspicious event..."
Kevin asked again, "Do you still want Levi to stay in the military?"
Neil said, "It's his own choice to stay in the military. Kevin, the children have grown up and have their own ideas and ambitions. They are no longer the little kids who'd listened to their elders."
When it came to educating children, Neil was inclined to let them live freely, and make their own life decisions.
Kevin said, "Mia is on the verge of a breakdown. She didn't insist on having him back, but I can see that she's actually very worried about Levi. If something terrible happens to Levi, I'm afraid she'd go crazy."
Neil sighed and said, "She regretted sending him to the military before, but Levi chose this path himself. She and I can't make any decisions for Levi." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Kevin said, "In that case, let him go and build his own career. After all, the blood of the Brown flows within his veins. Chatterton Town Military has been headed by your family for decades. It is impossible for it to be handed over to others when it comes down to Levi's generation."
Power was something craved by all...
If a person had never had a taste of power, he might just desire it in his dreams. However, once he has gotten a feel of it, he would want his own descendants to inherit this power no matter how open-minded and noble he was.
In the end, Levi was the only bloodline for the Browns, and it could only be hoped that he was able to shoulder this great responsibility.
