Lina’s meaningful expression was like a whip that slapped Caroline’s face, which made it burn with
pain.
The scars in her heart about the child were once again exposed, causing unspoken pain.
But she still had training tasks to complete at the moment, so she didn’t have time to argue with
Lina. She could only grit her teeth and leave.
Seeing that Caroline remained silent, Lina became even more convinced that the words she had
heard were the whole truth. A smug smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
A few days later, Beckham’s bomb disposal team received a new mine clearance mission.
A hidden minefield was found in the eastern area near the mountains, where several forest rangers
lost their lives. Their superiors ordered them to urgently clear the mines.
The task was urgent, and Graysen, who had just recovered from his wound, was also included in the
mission.
But this time, the minefield was not on flat ground, but on a wet and soft slope. They not only had to clear hidden mines but also had to prevent landslides.
A dozen or so people stayed in the wild for two days and were covered by mud all over before finally
eliminating all the hidden dangers.
Just as everyone was cheering, Caroline furrowed her brow and said, “No. Something is wrong!”
Beckham counted the quantity and said in a deep voice, “Is one missing?”
Caroline nodded, but when she was clearing the mines, the number was correct. How could there be
one missing?
Did it fall into the minefield? Caroline quickly pondered in her mind, and she was also prepared to
go to the minefield.
Beckham wanted to follow but was stopped by Caroline, “The mountain could collapse at any time. I
walk fast, so I’ll go alone.”
Beckham paused for a moment before nodding slightly.
Completing the tasks assigned by superiors meant everything, and everything else had to be
postponed.
At this moment, Marlene, who was standing by, unusually followed along, and the others didn’t even have time to stop her.
As time passed by, the sky was getting darker, giving the impression that a storm was about to

come.
Seeing the anxious crowd, Graysen suddenly stood up and wanted to go into the mountains to
search for them, but he was stopped by Beckham.
At this moment, a weak and sorrowful cry came from behind. Marlene wiped her tears while sobbing, saying, “Caroline fell down the hill…”
Everyone gasped suddenly, their faces looking as pale as death. Behind the hill was a steep valley. Falling into it would undoubtedly result in death.
On one side was a mountain slope on the verge of a landslide, while on the other side was Caroline, falling down the hill.
Graysen took the lead and asked, “I’m gonna save her!”
Beckham didn’t say a word and hit him from behind, directly knocking him out. He said to everyone, “You all go back to the base and report to the leaders. I will go in and find her.”
As the words were finished, Beckham had darted into the woods, disappearing without a trace.
Several teams did not dare to delay and drove back to the base one after another.
The next morning, two trucks carrying the search and rescue team stopped at the intersection of
the forest area, and a group of people searched inch by inch on the mountain.
And in the base at that time, Lina was confronting the leader with an unfriendly expression.
“It’s unnecessary to save this female soldier. Her misconduct was so bad that she shouldn’t have
stayed on the team. She should have been kicked out.”
The leader sternly condemned, “Ms. Jayrox, you released false information without conducting an investigation. I will report this to your leaders.”
A newspaper was thrown to the ground. The eye–catching headline read, “Bomb Disposal Team’s
Misconduct Leads to Unintended Abortion of a Woman During a Threesome.”
It was not until dark that the search team finally returned to the base with Caroline and Beckham.
The moment she saw the leader, Caroline, with her injured foot, weakly saluted and said, “The last
hidden mine has been eliminated, and the mission is completed.”
The leader looked at the disheveled woman in front of him and nodded approvingly, instructing her
to have a rest.
Beckham even bent down and carried Caroline into the infirmary in front of the leader.
The leader laughed at the subordinates on both sides, saying, “That’s rare to see. Does he fall in
love?”
