Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1720

“What are you looking at? Write down what I’ve said.”

Lucas frowned slightly. He looked around all people at the scene coldly, emanating a significant pressure.

Maddie immediately said, “No! Lucas, you’d better think about the consequences for it. You are a major now. The feats stamp on your body can cover a whole office, but these feats can’t compare with your deliberate mistake. Do you understand? If you really have admitted it and let them write the report like that, your military-political career will end.

“Don’t you like the military the most? Didn’t you swear to stay here forever? You said you were so anxious that you calculated the wrong direction and trajectory speed. Lucas, no one will believe what you said. You joined the military when you were five years old. It’s been almost twenty years already. Anyone can make such a stupid mistake, but you! You must have been affected by something at that time, right? As long as you tell us, the leaders will investigate it clearly. At that time, although you will be punished, you won’t be forced to resign.”

Maddie was so upset about the forced retirement that Lucas might face.

Lucas had always been a pride for the military region. His contributions made in the past several years couldn’t be copied by anyone else.

If such an outstanding soldier would resign from the military, he should leave in this way.

The leaders should ask him to stay, and his colleagues should hold a farewell ceremony for him instead of being forced to resign.

Maddie knew how much Lucas loved the military. If he was asked to leave, he’d rather be killed.

She just couldn’t believe what he had said.

He said he had miscalculated the wind direction because of his anxiety, so he mistook the kidnapper’s movements. Even a new recruit wouldn’t make such a mistake. He was an experienced soldier. How could it be possible?

Others all thought the same as Maddie.

“Major Green, you might not be in a good mood right now. We’ll come back in a few days,” one of the people from the military headquarters said.

“Write down what I said,” Lucas insisted in a colder tone.

Looking at the soldiers in front of him, he knew how much they liked and respected him as his colleagues. However, he wanted to protect Yasmeen, so he must take all responsibilities.

Since he had made a choice, he clearly knew what the consequences would be.

He would have to leave the military camp, be punished, and be expelled from the army, which would become his lifetime taint. Even he wanted to be a soldier of reserve duty, he wouldn’t be qualified. From then on, he would never be back to the military camp, which he knew clearly.

However, if he needed to rat out Yasmeen because of those things, Lucas wasn’t unwilling.

He was reluctant.

He questioned Yasmeen but didn’t get her answer. After considering for a long time, he still made such a decision. Probably, when he deleted the surveillance video, he had known that he didn’t deserve to be a soldier any longer.

However, Lucas didn’t regret it. He felt sorry, but one should know what to give in his life. He had just decided to protect that wrenched woman.

Lucas’s eyes darkened. He said in a deep voice, “You are all thinking about how many feats I have and how I can escape my responsibility. But have you thought about that innocent hostage? I heard she was still in ICU and was not out of danger. I heard that she was only twenty-three years old and had no chance to be a mother for the rest of her life because of my mistake. Of course, I can give you some other reasons, but I was the one who shot and injured the hostage. This is the truth. No matter what the reason is, I don’t deserve to be in my current position just because of this fact.”

“But, Major Green, even you’ll receive a punishment, with the persuasive reasons, you don’t have to resign from the military. Probably you could still work in logistics, but your military status would remain,” one of the soldiers said.

Their military status was exchanged by blood and lives. Lucas was quite outstanding with so many feats. He had completed so many missions perfectly. They believed that this only-time mistake could be set off by his previous contributions.

No one would believe that Lucas would make such a stupid mistake.

They guessed that it must be something that had impacted him.

Lucas also knew it. If the person hadn’t been Yasmeen, he would tell her out without hesitation. Unfortunately, it was she.

Yasmeen was a foreigner.

Her identity would make her appearance on the kidnapping scene be classified as a malignant event. Probably it would cause suspicion between two nations. That was the thing that Lucas didn’t want to see the most.
