“Are you sure you don’t have any feelings for her?
Christopher shot Duncana displeased look “No.”
“Great to hear that. Now you’ve been busy all night, head over to the police station and keep an eye on things
“Agang was captured, so make sure to file a thorough report according to the proper procedures. Don’t make any roolde mistakes. With Roby here, the ladies can keep each other company.”
In the room, Ruby put on gloves and lifted the covers. When she saw the wounds on Rebecca’s back, she was so shocked that she instinctively took a step back
Ruby hadn’t planned on pining the military when she first came to Orkney. Her goal was to enter university, study hard, graduate, and enter a reputable workplace. She believed a career path that matched her intellectual image would appeal to Christopher.
But Rebecca wasn’t going according to her plans. The former insisted on joining the military as a doctor, and this ignited Ruby’s competitiveness.

She took deep breaths to calm her breathing as she asked, “Rebeccal When did you wake up? –
Rebecca said nothing. She simply stared at Ruby with a deep and unreadable look Her gaze sent a chill down Ruby’s spine.
Ruby pursed her lips and tried to maintain a calm exterior “Rebecca, are you awake or not? Say something.”
“Ruby,” Rebecca finally called out in a cold voice
Roby’s heart skipped a bear at the sound of her name, and the nervously licked her lips “W–what is it?
“Did you meet a couple that night at the guesthouse?” The single question sent Ruby’s heart plummeting, and her face tumed pale like a sheet. No, that was impossible! How could Rebeccaknow? the palid Carla and Chad soo dollars to keep their mouths shut!
