Chaplain!

Chapter 1348: Chapter 1345

Oliver Walker squatted on the ground, his head still heavy and dazed.

It was clear that the impact had shaken him greatly.

About fifteen minutes had passed when Lucas, who had suffered the most serious injuries, was also carried out.

Understandably, having been trapped in a doorway, it was a miracle he was still alive.

However, his injuries were severe, and he had fallen into a coma.

Oliver Walker stepped forward to check his pulse and, upon finding that there was no immediate danger to his life, allowed for the ambulance to take him to the hospital; after all, attempting to perform acupuncture in his current state would be tantamount to joking around.

“Master, we have completed the tally of casualties!”

“Twelve dead, one seriously injured!”

Gao Shan reported the exact figures.

The one with serious injuries was, of course, Lucas!

As for the twelve who had died, they were crew members, but this was all within expectations, for their strength was the weakest and their chances of survival were slim.

“Hmm!”

Oliver Walker nodded: “Take me to the War Department, I’ll rest there for the night.”

With his current state, should he head home, he surmised his wife would likely cry in secret from worry.

It was better to rest for a night and then appear before his family in his most dashing form; otherwise, their concern would be overwhelming.

As Oliver Walker was assisted onto the helicopter, the aircraft departed from the scene, which was now under the care of professionals.

Meanwhile, on a deserted island, Jin Lisi lay exhausted on the beach, her back covered in burns.

She had lost even the clothes on her back!

“F*cking hell…”

Her voice was so weak before she fell into a deep sleep!

She didn’t even have the energy to contemplate how to escape the island, given the lack of communication equipment and the near-impossible task of swimming away.

Unless a cargo ship happened by…

So whether she could survive was entirely up to fate!

After a night’s rest, the next morning Oliver Walker felt much more comfortable.

He visited the hospital to check on Lucas and, seeing that there were no major concerns and only rest was needed, he then hurried back toward Thomas Corporation’s villa.

“Little Black brother, you better catch me!”

Olivia Walker, in a pink down jacket and scarf, hid in the garden.

And the boy called Little Black was neither dark nor black; rather, he had a certain handsome and sunny charm.

“Okay!”

“I will definitely catch you!”

Little Black started running, displaying agile speed!

Emilia stood in the garden calling out loudly, “Slow down, both of you, don’t fall and hurt yourselves!”

But in an instant…

Suddenly, a hand landed on her shoulder, causing her to quickly turn around; when she saw who it was, joy nearly brought her to tears: “When did you get back?”

“Why didn’t you let me know beforehand?”

It was indeed a surprise. In the past, her husband would have notified her in advance!

“I wanted to surprise you!”

Oliver Walker embraced his wife, and although it had only been a few days since they were apart, it felt almost like a century!

Perhaps that’s what affection is!

“Hmph!”

Emilia, revealing a stunning smile, teased: “Did you bring your little sister home?”

Clearly, she was joking!

She knew her husband’s character well.

But she was also a little jealous; her man had traveled across the ocean to the Eastern Alliance to meet another woman.

And the relationship between the two was not as simple as mere brother and sister.

“What?”

“Would you like to be that older sister?”

Oliver Walker responded half-jokingly, implying that maybe he and the girl had something between them?

Of course, it was all in jest!

In truth, their relationship was pure and innocent!

Indeed, there may have been extremely complex feelings involved, but during this encounter, no one pierced that thin veil, nor did anything happen that would transcend the friendship of brother and sister.

This was his loyalty to his family!
