The man paused and said, “She wasn’t here when we came. Someone saw that machine men came this morning.” His voice was very low, but Patrick heard him clearly. He pushed his arms against the bed in order to sit up, but once his bleeding hands touched the bed, he couldn’t move because of the pain. He started to struggle. The doctor was worried and pressed him to the bed. “Don’t move!” All the people tried to press him. He seemed to lose control and used all his strength to struggle. In the people’s eyes, he was just a body soaked in blood, trembling. “Commander!” Someone shouted, “You won’t see her again if you die!” This sentence was like a spell, making that body stay still. Patrick seemed to loosen his body and couldn’t move anymore.He lay on the bed like a corpse, with his eyes closed. The people in the room thought that he had fallen back into a coma, and they looked at each other and sighed. “Emerald!” Patrick suddenly shouted in pain! The husky scream seemed to come from the deepest part of his body, grinding his bones and flesh. Two lines of tears fell from his swollen malar. **** Kahlil sat in the fighter jet flying to Freedom City and started to analyze calmly. Emerald probably was caught by Evan Silas. But Kahlil didn’t understand why he did this. If he wanted to hurt Patrick, then his goal had been achieved. Patrick was almost a basket case now. He lost the war and was tortured in front of the people. The humans wouldn’t support him except for his loyal mercenaries.There was no need to catch Emerald. Kahlil unconsciously guessed that Evan Silas might be a little jealous of Patrick. If their space leaping technology hadn’t been more advanced than the humans, Evan must have lost to Patrick’s strategies. Was it the reason why Evan took his woman? But it didn’t seem to be the thing Evan would do, even though he just had a human’s body. Did the strong-willed Commander also have a desire for women? But why did it have to be Emerald? Kahlil got off the plane and went directly to Evan’s mansion in confusion. When he walked into the living room, he saw that Evan was sitting on the sofa calmly and looking at him. Kahlil suddenly felt uncomfortable. He was used to Evan’s metal body. With this tall and strong human form, Evan seemed not cold but lively, which put more pressure on Kahlil. “Sit.” Evan seemed to expect his visit and smiled. “Commander, I’m looking for a woman called Emerald Wilson. She was lost this morning.” Kahlil said directly to Evan. Evan glanced at him and said, “She’s here.” “Why?” Evan leaned back to the sofa and stretched his arms as if he thought of something that made him happy. After a while, he said, “She once killed me. She could control Stonehenge. Her body was somehow attractive to me. I can be her master for any of these reasons.” Kahlil was surprised, “She killed you?” Kahlil touched the scar on his nape and thought of the deep pain she brought him that day and her soft body. Kahlil was worried when he saw Evan’s look.“Commander, there are lots of women on the Earth. If you want, I can find you thousands of girls prettier, smarter, and braver than her. I can find any type you want. She’s pregnant. This will be boring.” Evan shot a glance at him and said, “Didn’t you hear me? She once killed me before. She could die a thousand times if I send her to the military court. Do you want me to set her free now?” Kahlil couldn’t say anything. Although he wanted to help the Lewis couple, he was a machine man and a trusted subordinate of Evan Silas. If anyone, including Patrick Lewis, wanted to hurt Evan, he would tear him into pieces, driven by his belief and standards. Kahlil thought for seconds and nodded, “She’s just a woman. You can do whatever you want. Since I have known her for some time, can you tell me how you will punish her?” Evan’s fingers gently slid over his lips, “Just let her stay here.”Kahlil said, “But Commander, women are weak, and she’s going to have a baby. If you have coitus with her now, she and the baby will die.” Evan looked at Kahlil, “You are really a good friend to Patrick Lewis.” Kahlil said immediately, “No, I’m loyal to you. I won’t hesitate even if you tell me to kill this woman now.” Evan realized that he was telling the truth, and he stopped being angry, “I won’t touch her before she gives birth to the baby. Her child will be as interesting as she is.” Kahlil made a decision after leaving the mansion that he wouldn’t tell Patrick where Emerald was. He had thought about it clearly. Patrick would only be upset if he knew about it, and if he became an enemy to Evan, he would only die. In fact, he wouldn’t do anything if Evan killed Emerald. It was a felony to kill the Commander. He had already tried his best to protect Patrick. If Emerald really died, Patrick could marry another woman in the future, and maybe he would forget about Emerald. Compared to life and honor, women were not essential. After he went back to his own mansion, he called Patrick. Patrick was still in a coma, so he told the people there that he was still looking for Emerald. She may have been taken away by the machine men to be a laborer, so he was looking for her in every labor camp. **** After spending a disturbing day, Emerald forced herself to eat the dinner the machine men gave her. She tossed and turned restlessly at night. She kept thinking of Patrick’s look, and even in her dream, she was upset. In the daze, she felt that a cold hand wiped the tears off her face. Before she opened her eyes, her face and body unconsciously leaned toward that rough hand. Then she was suddenly afraid because the baby kicked her. She opened her eyes and saw an angular face in front of her. Evan Silas! Emerald was frightened out of her wits and hit him hard with her elbow! Her move was so quick and powerful that Evan frowned and squinted at her dangerously.
