Chapter 5: Workout
Field Marshall Chan grinned widely as he watched Keira’s physical training with her friends in the training grounds within their home.
He loved and admired the fighting spirit of his daughter. Too bad, she was born a girl...
He initially wanted a boy, someone, to inherit Chan’s legacy and military power.
However, he was granted with a girl...
He and his wife tried so hard to make more babies, in the hope for a boy but failed. They gave up after two miscarriages because the doctor advised that it was no longer safe for Ester. Another pregnancy might have compromised Ester’s life.
He knew, he spoiled his daughter a lot, but what could he do, she’s the only treasure he and his wife had. As long as they could, they would give her all that they could afford.
He was startled when his wife poked his side.
"Look at that grin on your face. Are you happy, watching your daughter doing things like that? I still can’t understand you two..." Mrs. Chan said as she watched Keira too.
Then, she sighed and continued, "She is so focused on getting admitted to the Military School. I still think it’s inappropriate and is not a wise choice. Look at her. She’s struggling with simple exercises."
