Chapter 94: You can’t sleep..
"Stay safe." Jessica’s voice continuously echoed in his head.
Davis’ fists clenched, his nails digging into his palms, his patience slipping faster than the seconds. His usually composed self was nowhere to be found, he was frustrated beyond recourse.
His gaze boring into Ethan, whose hand gripped the wheel so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.
"Ethan, what the hell do you think you’re doing?" Davis’ voice was low but menacing. "Do you have any idea how dangerous it is for her out there alone?"
Ethan swallowed hard but didn’t slow down. "Sir, I understood very well but she had a clear instructions she ordered me to—"
"To hell with her orders!" Davis snapped, slamming his fist on the door. "If anything happens to her, Ethan—" His voice, fear evident.
He felt his whole body drowning in regret and self blame.
"If I hadn’t wasted time drowning in despair... If I had just focused on recovering earlier...may be things would have been different," he mused gritting his teeth.
The thought of being unable to protect the one person who had stood by him, who had fought for him, was totally suffocating.
Last night, he had made the decision to revive all the units functioning under him immediately they returned to their own place but fate had another agenda.
Just a few hours, and they are under a well plotted attack. It seems that if Jessica had been in his life may be this time—he will lose his life for sure.
