“It’s not me, it’s my husband… Please tell me what happened to him tonight. His mental state is really bad right now, and he refuses to tell me anything. I’m truly worried.”

There was silence on the other line for several seconds before a sigh was heard.

“Just as I thought, there was an issue. I had just called to check, and the Psychological Interference Group said his test results were good. I felt something was off, but you were sharp enough to figure it out on your own. Since you already know, I won’t keep it from you.”

Setting aside the fact that Kiara had offered to help for free, he was equally concerned about Mario Yuno. Having read Mario’s profile and knowing that he had trained abroad with Baron, he deeply understood Mario’s feelings at the moment.

Mario had lent a hand solely in a personal capacity, and that had lessened a lot of trouble for everyone. Put simply, if Mario helped, it was as a favor; if he didn’t, it was his right. Naturally, these people didn’t want any harm to befall Mario, and Kiara’s offer to help had alleviated a great worry of his.

“Baron brought men to steal something One was protecting, and he injured many of our men in the process. Assessing the situation, One stepped in. Although One didn’t hit the enemy’s vital spots, the failure of their mission led the adversary to commit suicide.”

“I figured as much…” Kiara closed her eyes in despair.

She might not have been there, but as soon as she closed her eyes, the scene seemed to play before her.

That scene must have etched itself deeply into his heart. That’s why he was so distraught.

“These two men used to be close friends. Emotionally, One is definitely struggling to come to terms with it. Take good care of him, and let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. One’s performance was exceptional this time, and he prevented a lot of unnecessary losses. His personal involvement reduced casualties among our ranks.”

“I’ll call you if we need anything further.”

Kiara hung up the phone with her mind in chaos, thinking about the things Mario had mentioned before.

Camden may always act playful in front of her, but there are not many people outside who caught his eye. For a man like Camden, who excels in everything and stands above the rest, it’s hard to truly accept friends.

She remembered clearly how Mario had gleefully told her about his past experiences with Baron.

During their time at the training camp, they often compared their skills. Baron was always slightly faster than Mario at shooting moving targets. Kiara never expected that the only time Baron would lose to Camden, it would cost him his life.

Kiara’s heart ached. She had been worried all night, and still, something bad had happened!

Although Mario wasn’t physically injured, the trauma was mental. To witness a former close friend die right before one’s eyes, what a torment that must be!

She wanted to tell Camden that, since Baron had chosen this path, he should have anticipated this outcome. Even without Camden, he would have faced the consequences of his actions, getting what he deserved. But Kiara also knew that offering such conventional comfort, such Hindsight Criticism after the event, would be no help to Mario at all.

Her own mind was in complete disarray.

What if the worst happened? If Camden were triggered, her current abilities couldn’t help him at all! She could only offer useless platitudes. What was she to do?

As Kiara was fretting, Mario came out.

Kiara hurried over to dry his hair, while Mario just sat there, staring blankly.

“We’re married now; we need to communicate about problems promptly. You have to tell me if you’re suffering, so I can think of ways to help you.”

He looked at her blankly, and with a heavy heart, Kiara said.

“Don’t blame me for meddling, I’m really worried about the state you’re in now. If you’re not stable, it makes me anxious too. Please don’t let me worry about you, okay?”

Normally, Kiara would tease him, but at this moment, he was as vulnerable as a child, and she embraced him unconditionally; that’s what marriage is all about.

“I’m not blaming you, I just don’t know what to say to you right now,” Mario Yuno’s mind was a blank.

“You don’t have to force yourself to think, just talk about how you’re feeling right now.”

“My feelings right now… I feel that I shouldn’t be upset. I have my mission, I protected the vaccine.”

These were his thoughts at the moment, and it was the same answer he gave to the Psychological Interference Group when they asked him.

The more he talked like this, the more Kiara’s heart ached.

His consciousness and instincts started to clash!

Mario Yuno had been raised in the womb to be loyal to his country and mission. After so many years of influence, his worldview had been etched into his very bones.

Baron stood on the opposing side, and Mario Yuno’s mission was to catch Baron; it was his duty. He had had similar experiences in the past, but the bad people he had killed then were strangers to him, without any emotional connection, but this time it was different.

Someone he knew well had run into trouble because of him, and although Mario Yuno knew he hadn’t done anything wrong, he still felt a huge shock in his heart.

Kiara grew anxious with him, hurriedly patting him with her hand, trying to soothe him. At that moment, all the words seemed pale and weak.

“I’m fine, just let me be alone for a while,” Mario Yuno pushed her away. This is how men are, the kind of men who get hurt and don’t want anyone to see it.

“Then I’ll go out first, you lie down and rest for a bit, and call me if you need anything.”

Kiara walked out, looking back step by step.

“What could be wrong with me?” He forced a smile for her, trying to give her a reassuring expression.

That smile was more painful for Kiara than not smiling at all; her eyes immediately turned red.

His smile was so heart-wrenching, heavier than tears.

From a woman’s perspective, Kiara actually really wanted to hug him and cry her heart out, but doing so would be of no help to his emotions. Contrary to Camden’s usual thick-skinned, lighthearted demeanor, this was about James Manfield’s dignity, and such an action would be no help to him.

Kiara held back the tears of heartache for him, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down.

Along the way, she had faced so many things, and each time he was like a huge umbrella, protecting her securely inside. This time might be the biggest hurdle Mario Yuno had encountered, and Kiara needed to be strong for him.

On the windowsill, the broken-toothed wooden comb was still there.

A few days ago, Baron had personally handed the wooden comb to Mario Yuno as a gift for his sister-in-law.

A few days later, Mario Yuno personally ended Baron’s escape, fulfilling his duty from a responsibility standpoint, but internally, the pain of taking down a friend was unbearable for any normal person. He had acted to cut off Baron’s hope of escape, and Baron’s suicide shattered Mario Yuno’s heart.

The thought alone was heartbreaking for Kiara. Camden, who valued friendships deeply, facing such a situation, would surely not forgive himself. His heart and his mission were in conflict, and the scars inflicted internally, if not healed, could have unimaginable consequences for him.
