Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 517

As I was pushed into William's arms, I instinctively looked back at Irvin, not wanting him to stay behind.

It wasn't because I still loved him and couldn't let go. It was simply because I didn't want to owe him anything anymore.

Just like how I could finally relax when I confirmed it wasn't Irvin in the base, I knew there was nothing left between us.

I didn't want to owe him anything else, especially not his life for saving me.

William seemed to feel the same. Before I could say anything, he turned to Irvin and said, "You don't have to stay behind to cover us. We can split up and divide their forces.

"My other mercenary team is already here, and Solmera's military is waiting at the border. We just need to make it there."

Although William wasn't the type to act macho, he couldn't let another man risk his life to protect his own fiancée.

If he hadn't discovered that all the top-level security systems in this organization used Irvin's fingerprints and iris scans—making it possible for Irvin to slip in quietly—William wouldn't have let him do it.

Just as he finished speaking, a team of heavily armed mercenaries rushed in over the fallen gate, guarding us as we retreated.

This wasn't the time to argue over who should sacrifice themselves. So, William didn't speak any further. Once the mercenaries arrived, he quickly scooped me up and ran.

Irvin, who understood the same, didn't insist on staying behind. He followed right behind us.

Once we were outside, we split into two groups and took different routes toward Solmera's border.
