When the Galaxy Wept

Chapter 122 Why Did You Tell Me?

Patrick turned Emerald around so that she could face him. Looking at his bright eyes, Emerald was filled with many emotions that she didn’t know what to say. She finally murmured, “why did you tell me?” He looked at her and said word by word, “because you are going to be my wife.” It seemed that he was determined to spend the rest of his life with her, so he would tell her all his secrets. Emerald couldn’t help but grab his hands tightly, and she saw his smile. He had a name tag with Chinese characters, and he could speak and write Chinese, and he woke up on a barren planet. She suddenly felt both happy and sad, “it turns out that you are also a human from the Earth.” But he shook his head quietly. “I don’t remember anything.”Emerald was also confused. Why did he lose all his memory, but she remembered everything? Why did he wake up in another galaxy ten years ago while she woke up in the suburb of Hope City half a year ago? He also looked at her quietly because he didn’t know the answer either. “I will take you to the Earth.” He gently kissed her forehead “and found all the answers.” She was moved and thought of their first reunion in the bar when he said that he wanted her to stay with him and that he would take her to find the Earth, which suddenly moved her. She realized that he knew where she came from when they were in Hope City. “Is this the reason why you gave me an airplane and promised to take me to the Earth?” She asked. He nodded, “I have never thought that an ordinary woman like you could have the deepest connection with me and that I could have you.” Was this destiny? Emerald calmed down gradually after she was astonished by his real identity. She leaned in his arms and felt that they were closer now. Actually, it was not important anymore whether they came from the same Earth. She was moved that he was willing to tell her the secrets that he had been hiding for years. She suddenly thought of something and looked up to him, “did you let me stay with you and let Harvey call me missus before the Zerg war because I came from the Earth?” Was this the reason why he took her virginity stubbornly, treated her gently, and made her love him? Patrick smiled, “you have my secrets, and I’m interested in you, so this is the simplest way.” That was what an arrogant man like him would do. If he hadn’t fallen in love with her too, he would never tell her his secrets.When he noticed that she was silent, he held her closer and said calmly, “tell me.” “What?” “What was that world like? Who were you? Tell me.” She was silent for a while and took a deep breath, and said, “The Earth is the third planet in the solar system, which has nine planets. I’m a junior student in college.” The night was as enchanted as a dream. Patrick held Emerald in his arms and quietly listened to her story about another world. However, the things she was familiar with and the things she missed so much seemed so strange to him that he felt he had never experienced them. Only the gentle voice of the woman in his arms could soften his cold heart like the sigh of a mother. A month later. The space fortress Ares was floating quietly in the synchronous near-planet orbit of Freedom Planet. Other seven fortresses of the mercenaries and four of the Alliance were also parked there. Twelve space fortresses were floating over one planet at the same time, which had never happened before in the history of the Alliance. It was for the wedding of Patrick Lewis, the Commander of the Mercenary and new vice Commander of the Alliance. The deck, which was crowded and smelled like machine oil, was now decorated with the flowers from Hope planet. The flowers were colored with a sweet scent, and they brought spring to the deck. The table in the center was covered by good wines, confections, and dishes. Almost all the famous chefs were invited to all the space fortresses to prepare the wedding dinner. The soft, beautiful song of a woman in the broadcast was eulogizing about love that would never change. The officers, soldiers, pilots, and ground staff all treated today as the real holiday, and they were all chatting happily with each other. They hadn’t been this happy for a long time, especially when today was the wedding of their great Commander and a legendary female pilot. In the Ares, Emerald was wearing a long beige dress, with the cuff, collar, and skirt swing decorated with green flowers, and she looked fresh and pretty with delicate makeup and a blushing face. Patrick held her hand, they walked by the crowd, who were applauding passionately, and to the deck where the wedding would be held. The huge deck was crowded now with almost all the people in the fortress and many grandees and officers of the Alliance. Everyone was looking at them. Emerald felt dizzy walking in this passionate crowd. But the man, wearing a black uniform with admiral epaulet, was holding her hand and walking decidedly with her down the aisle. Emerald couldn’t see anything but him. His warm hands made her feel safe and calm, and she couldn’t help but look up to the crowd and smile at them.They walked to the center of the deck, and Malcolm, other captains and the President of the Alliance, and the son of Marshall Taron Locke were all standing beside them. When the two stood still, almost all the soldiers in the twelve fortresses started to applaud. The sound resounded in the communication channel, which could tremble the fortress. Malcolm picked up the microphone and walked to Emerald and Patrick while coughing to calm people down. “Dear officers and soldiers, today is a special day for us! Our Commander will finally end his life as a single man and become a prisoner of a woman!” Everyone laughed loudly. Malcolm continued, “those men who thought that our Commander was gay and those women who wanted to be with our Commander could all stop thinking. From now on, the Commander, from his heart to his body, only belongs to one woman, our lovely Lieutenant Wild Kitten, Emerald Wilson!”
