Chapter 111:
“Countdown 10 seconds!”
Inside the self-destruct chamber, Miriam had already been completely overwhelmed by the emotions in her heart.
She cried out the final countdown, and then could no longer resist the utter despair that came flooding in. She turned and hugged Lieutenant Frayzer by her side as if seeking shelter.
This action caused the Lieutenant to freeze in place.
Shamefully, although born into a prestigious noble family and already 30 years old, the Lieutenant was still a complete blank when it came to affairs of the heart. The most direct contact he’d ever had with women was politely inviting them to dance at a ball.
But he knew that Miriam’s action at this moment did not represent anything.
She was simply afraid.
This was the instinctive reaction of a fragile human life facing death, representing neither cowardice nor ugliness.
He could completely understand Miriam’s fear, because he was enduring the same emotional impact at this moment.
