With so many people dead, there was work to be done for comforting the bereaved, handling aftermath issues, reassigning personnel, and preparing policies in anticipation of future events... Ever since he woke up, he hadn't had a moment's peace. Although he didn't have to personally handle everything himself, seeing so many casualties under his watch still caused him immense stress. He needed to make phone calls to comfort the relatives of those who died, visit those severely injured while enduring his own injuries, attend military meetings... it was all overwhelming.

Wu Shuang wasn't a selfish person towards Kaka; she wouldn't cause him worry at such a time. As a leader herself, she knew how painful this must be for Kaka and that he wished he could save everyone.

The youngest intelligence officer was merely a young girl who had just completed her training. She was only fourteen years old, still in the bloom of youth; both her parents were members of the first terrorist organization. Such a young life ended so suddenly, causing Kaka immense sorrow.

"Wu Shuang, take a rest. Look how dark your eye circles are compared to mine."

"You just focus on yourself and don't worry about me," Wu Shuang said, knowing she looked ill and was unhelpful. "Go to sleep; I'll wait for you to wake up so we can have dinner together."

"I just woke up an hour ago now you want me to go back to bed"

"The doctor says you need more rest, to recover your body," Wu Shuang said as she handed him a pill and commanded, "Take it and sleep. No objections."

Kaka smiled slightly, took the pill, and followed her instructions by lying down. As Wu Shuang was about to leave, Kaka grabbed her hand; she turned back with raised eyebrows. He hesitated to speak but eventually gave a faint smile: "It's okay."

Wu Shuang furrowed her brows and nodded, saying, "You go ahead and rest. I'll be out making some calls."

With a smile, Wu Shuang left his room.

Kaka watched as she walked away; he seemed to feel pain somewhere in his body and couldn't help but frown. In the end, he sighed deeply. There were so many things he wanted to say to Wu Shuang, yet every time words came close to surfacing, he was unable to speak them.

This was the only time in all these years that he had lost control.

Wushuang, what should I do with you

After leaving the room, Wushuang went to find Dr. William, who was in charge of Kaka's treatment. He was a very gentlemanly British man and an excellent doctor. "Is he really okay"

William nodded and smiled, saying, "Miss Wushuang, Nanfeng is just weak; as long as he rests well, there won't be any major issues. Don't worry too much."

Wushuang pursed her lips. "Have you given him a full-body examination"

"Yes, I have."

"What about his heart" Wushuang asked seriously.

William looked confused and asked不解地問,"Miss Wushuang, what do you mean by that"

"Have you conducted a detailed examination of his heart Don't lie to me. Otherwise..."

"Miss Wushuang, before Miss Ye Wei got married, if it wasn’t for the difficult surgeries requiring Dr. Baiye’s expertise, her health was always under my care. You asking this question seems to imply that you don’t trust my medical skills"

Wushuang spoke in a low voice, "I didn't mean that. If I doubted your medical abilities, then you wouldn't be qualified for the position you hold now. I just want to know about his health status; this is important to me."

"You can rest assured, he's very healthy." William said. Looking at Wushuang who bore a striking resemblance to Ye Wei, he felt as though Ye Wei were standing before him again, and his expression softened with affectionate warmth. "He truly is fortunate to have someone so worried about him."

Wu Shuang shook her head, "When I brought him back, I heard his heartbeat seemed unusual, with rapid beats in spurts. If not for me holding him all the time, I might have missed it. A normal person would never have such a heart rate."

William raised an eyebrow and turned around to show Wu Shuang Kakka's detailed physical report, "Look, this is his report."

Wu Shuang quickly scanned through it; indeed, the report looked normal with nothing out of the ordinary. But why did what she heard seem different She had never so clearly heard such a heartbeat sound in all these years.

"Maybe I'm overthinking," Wu Shuang said.

Perhaps, she really was overthinking.

After leaving William's office, Wu Shuang paused outside Kakka’s room for a moment. As she was about to go in, her phone rang; it was Ye Wei calling and asking straight away, "Are you at headquarters"

"Yes,"

"You unproductive thing." Ye Wei mockingly said with a laugh, "Do you want me to come see you"

"No!" This time Wu Shuang reacted quickly without hesitation, firmly saying, "Mom, when everything is over, I'll come see you and dad. You don't need to keep running back and forth. Besides, didn't you hate Muscat"

"You really have grown up; can I eat him now" she replied quickly, dodging him like a plague, truly deserving a beating.

"Mom, are you having fun on your trip"

"With such a big incident happening, how could I be having fun" Ye Wei answered in an annoyed tone and said sternly, "Kakka is fine, and you've been busy too. Stay away from headquarters when there's nothing to do, it's best to avoid any suspicion."

"Understood." Wu Shuang said.

"Forget it, I know you won't listen anyway. I've been worrying for nothing," Ye Wei said. "Did he say anything when he woke up"

"What did he say" Wu Shuang was puzzled; she still didn't know that Ye Tianyu had sent the video to Rong Yan, so when Ye Wei asked this question, even if Wu Shuang were as clever as a monkey, she would be clueless.

"What did he say Don't tell me you're easygoing and expect him to give you an answer after kissing you" Ye Wei said unhappily. "Ink Wu Shuang, I'm warning you. Be decisive and straightforward. When someone takes advantage of you and you don’t speak up, are you really my daughter"

"Mommy, how did you know" Wu Shuang asked.

"I saw it on the satellite."

Wu Shuang wanted to吐槽(sarcasm) that the satellite was too powerful; it could see her and Kaka's activities in such a short time. Could it really be so accurate

"Mommy, you know how busy he is with this big matter," Wu Shuang couldn't help but defend Kaka.

Ye Wei said, "There should still be some time for him to say something. In the end, it's all because you pamper him too much. Wu Shuang, listen to me once: if you avoid him for a few months and don’t contact or call him at all, I guarantee there will be different results." Ye Wei thought that teaching her daughter how to date was beneath her; just look at Xiao Bai—she handled things so smoothly. Wu Shuang was stubborn like her father but lacked his ruthlessness.

Thinking about it carefully, Wu Shuang and Kaka had never been completely out of touch with each other; even if they didn’t meet in person, they would call or video chat every day. The longest time without contacting each other was no more than three days, and she'd send a text message when she was really busy.

Avoiding Kaka for several months...

It was quite difficult for her; after the last incident in London where he severely hurt her feelings, she returned to Rome. They truly hadn't contacted each other, but they still exchanged a few words when they met online.some differences from the one he knew, although he was still charming and sexy. This charm and sexiness were even more evident on screen. His chiseled face, with a mysterious and sorrowful gaze, exude...
