Last Life, He Killed Me for Her. This Life, I’ll Sell Him the Ticket Chapter 06
“Get away from me.”Â
So they had been involved long before all of this.Â
And I had been a fool for so many years.Â
Tears fell from my eyes as I staggered to my feet.Â
“Please, General. Give me justice.”Â
The General caught hold of me.Â
“Get your wounds cleaned first.”Â
Then he turned to Evan and Wendy.Â
“Take these two and the MP captain into custodyÂ
for questioning. Make sure they are punished forÂ
this.”Â
Soon, I received medical treatment.Â
After my wounds were treated, the General lookedÂ
at me with guilt written all over his face.Â
“I’m sorry. This was my…”Â
“This isn’t your fault. If anyone is to blame, it’sÂ
them for being corrupt, abusing their authority,Â
and bending the rules for their own selfish ends.”Â
He nodded, his gaze turning solemn.Â
“Your mother entrusted me with bringing you backÂ
to the city. Which research institute do you want toÂ
go to?”Â
But I shook my head.Â
“I still want to go to Santa Clara Valley. Before I go,Â
can I return home and see my mother one lastÂ
time?”Â
He froze for a moment, and the way he looked atÂ
me carried a hint of admiration.Â
“Good. Very good. You’re still willing to serve theÂ
country, Lana. You’re a true public servant.”Â
My grief was interrupted so suddenly that my face warmed at his praise, and I could not help silently mocking myself.Â
I was not actually that noble.Â
The General respected my decision and still sent me to Santa Clara Valley.Â
But he also applied for other commendations from command on my behalf. Not only did I receive a medal, but I was also given cash.Â
The day before I left, the investigation into WendyÂ
and Evan was completed.Â
Wendy had used Evan’s name to scam people andÂ
secretly take bribes.Â
Although Evan had not known the details ofÂ
everything she did, he had listened only to her,Â
believed whatever she said, and abused hisÂ
authority.Â
In the end, Evan was dismissed from service,Â
while Wendy was ordered to return every cent sheÂ
had taken.Â
Both of them were sent to the harshest punitiveÂ
rehabilitation work detail in the Southwest.Â
On the day I left, the vehicle taking Evan andÂ
Wendy to the Southwest set out at the same timeÂ
as mine.Â
Evan rolled down his window and looked at me,Â
bitterness on his face.Â
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know she had done so manyÂ
terrible things to you before.”Â
Wendy stared at me, her eyes bulging with rage.Â
“You bitch. I was so close to going back to theÂ
city. Why did you have to ruin me?”Â
“Evan, you useless bastard. Didn’t you promise meÂ
you’d give me a good life?”Â
Her eyes were red as she beat him desperately,Â
her old mask of soft, innocent sweetnessÂ
completely stripped away.Â
And Evan no longer coaxed her the way he usedÂ
- to. He turned and slapped her hard across theÂ
face.Â
I did not want to watch the two of them tear eachÂ
other apart, so I calmly prepared to close theÂ
window.Â
But unexpectedly, Evan suddenly shouted.Â
“Lana, I really know I was wrong. For the sake of what we used to have, can you wait for me?”Â
My mother’s gentle face suddenly flashed before. my eyes, along with the image of myself lying on the delivery table in my last life.Â
Back then, I had also begged him to spare me forÂ
the sake of what we used to have.Â
But what had he said at the time?Â
“A vicious woman like you and the bastard in your belly don’t deserve to live.”Â
I gave a derisive smile.Â
“Evan, you’re not sorry. You’re just scared now.”Â
“If the General hadn’t backed me today, you would have looked the other way even after learning what Wendy had done.”Â
He denied it at once.Â
“I wouldn’t.”Â
But I looked at him mockingly.Â
“Then how do you explain the bracelet?”Â
“Evan, people have to pay for what they’ve done. So give up any hope that I’ll plead for you.”Â
After all, the Lana who had loved him with all her heart and been willing to sacrifice everything for him was already dead.Â
The window closed completely, cutting off Evan’sÂ
voice.Â
From now on, he and I had nothing to do with eachÂ
other.
