Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Beck jumped from the step down to the field and his speed was much, he grip her before she could touch the ground, Beck was known to be the fastest runner, they compare his speed to that of a cheetah.

Leave the way!!! He screamed for other soldiers to get off his way, Beck was like a flash, and Bernard is running after him, and right now they are at the military clinic.

Field Marshall looks at Beck.

Please, don't give me that look, I didn't do anything to her.

Why then are you feeling guilty? Beck wipes his face, he is not the type that hides his guilt and is the only surviving family of Field Marshall, he knows everything about him, he had trained him like his own child instead of a grandson.

Fine, she is been naughty, she doesn't listen, and she acts like this place is a playground, she should grow up or better still go back home, so I punish her, I asked her to run round the field twenty...

Beck!!! The old man couldn't control himself anymore, and he screamed, Beck pin his lips causing them to form a tiny line. You can go now, thank you for being here, I will stay. Field Marshall voice out and Beck bid his grandfather farewell and left only to see Bernard and his body friend standing outside.

Jesse, let's go, field Marshall is in there. Jesse just nodded and walked beside Beck as Bernard go into the ward.

What happened? Bernard was all mad as he wait patiently for you to come out from the ward. May said your punishment was what made her end up in the clinic, more like medicine after death. Jesse looks at Beck and his expression is blank.

Since no response is coming out, it's better to keep his mouth shut instead of bringing out the rubbish in his throat.

As they walk silently to the office, Beck gives out a heaved signed, Jesse looked at him, that is another sigh that he is feeling guilty

Are you feeling guilty? Or is it confusion and worried that...

Jesse, lock your lips. His voice was stern, Jesse heaven sighed as well.

But bro, you are very difficult to deal with, you are weird and sometimes, I think you are in love with the girl and the next time I feel like you hate her, one minute you are punishing her and the next you are holding her in your arm like one precious stone that you don't want to get hurt and people who saw you running with her on your arm think that, she is your...

I said lock your mouth, Jesse, or maybe, you should be redeployed, I could see you are tired of Working with me.

Of cause not, I love you very much and I will not say anything stupid to you. Beck didn't throw an eye on him again not give a reply to his words, he just kept moving towards his office.

****

Bernard greeted field Marshall as soon as he enter the ward.

How are you? Field Marshall asked, he gave a nod and move closer to Alexia that is still lying on the bed unconscious.

I am fine sir!!!

Okay, since you are here I will leave you with her while I contact her parents.

Alright sir!!! Field Marshall left the room and Bernard run his hand through her hair as she sleeps peacefully.

Even at sleep you still look super lovely, I wish I was the one who brought you here, watching you lie on my hand would be a perfect scene to the eyes.

Then he press a kiss on her hand, her eyes open slowly as she watches the young man holding her hand in surprise.

Gen. Beck!!! She called, he raised his head, only to see that it was not Beck but Gen. Bernard, the only similarities with Beck and Bernard are their hair and height. Sorry Gen. Bernard!!!

Alexia apologize as she withdrew her hand from his.

Sorry dear, I was just worried for you.

Thanks, Gen!!!

Stop with the Gen, you could just use my name, when we are alone, Ben will be fine.

Alright, Gen... Sorry, Ben!!! Alexia corrected herself ASAP, seeing their gloomy face of Ben.

Good, so how are you feeling?

Better, you shouldn't be scared, because it happens to me all the time when I get into a strenuous task, dad called it laziness. Bernard laughed the last part of her words the way she murmured them.

So you are lazy? He quizzed while she facepalm herself. I don't think so, if you were, you wouldn't have thought of joining the military.

And I wouldn't have gotten to this point if you haven't done some malpractice for me. Bernard's eyes bulge, he never thought Alexia will find out pretty soon about the act of his. It's fine, I am happy you gave me a chance to prove to my dad that I am not lazy and to others that I am not a brat. She added when she realized that, her words had made him feel uncomfortable.

By the way, are you the one that brought me here? Alexia inquire before he could shake his head, field Marshall open the door revealing prime minister Lee, Alexia grab the duvet and cover her face, her dad is going to tease her non-stop and she might end up going home from there.

Good day sir!!! Bernard greeted the prime minister.

How are you, son? He asked as he make his way to the bed and pulled the duvet from her. This silly girl, how could you think of doing the military when you are still as lazy as ever? Come on father, you are embarrassing me.

But it's the truth, you should know that you are not strong enough for this type of...

Father, please!!!

Fine, I give up, anyways, how many runs did you go before you...

Dad meets my friend, Gen Bernard, and gen Bernard meets my dad.

We've met before, his dad is our business partner and they are the owner of the Shan corporation. How are you, and your father? Prime minister asked Gen Bernard, who replies that he is fine.

Okay, which means I have nothing to worry about, my daughter is in good hands then. Prime minister added

Come on Bernard, we should leave, we have some information to discuss, I don't know if Beck had informed you about the new arrangement.

He did sir, he had given me the deals but he said, we should meet later.

Alright, let's go now. Field Marshall, doesn't want Bernard to remain with Alexia and her dad. We go on now, prime minister.

Thanks once more, for caring for my daughter. They nodded and left, Prime minister look at his daughter.

Father, did you know that handsome is here?

Daughter let's go home, you can back out now.

No way dad, I can't leave now, not when I am close to getting what I want.

What do you want?
