The Ace Sniper Wife-Chapter 305 Episode 038: Time overrides Memory(2)

In the Forces, facing such a blow and outside, her cousin was dead, not to mention that even her beloved aunt despised her...

What could she do?

What was there to do? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

No one knew.

Neither Becca Reyes nor Janice Wood knew.

Janice Wood’s silhouette didn’t stop, but while Becca Reyes was stunned, Flossie Wright at her side had already followed.

In the complete darkness of night, both figures quickly disappeared into the blackness.

After hesitating for a moment, Becca Reyes informed the platoon leader and followed them out.

She vaguely sensed what Janice Wood was planning to do. And until Becca Reyes reached Bard Walker’s office with them, she reassured her conjecture.

"Knock. Knock. Knock."

Flossie Wright lifted her hand, leading the way in knocking at the office door.

Quickly, Bard Walker’s voice came from inside, "Come in."

Looking down slightly at the silent Janice Wood, Flossie Wright’s voice cooled a bit, "You go in."

Janice Wood looked up, scrutinizing Flossie, then the closed door. In the end, she pushed the door open and walked inside alone.

With the "creak" of the door, it was pulled shut once more, and Janice Wood’s figure gradually faded from their sight.

"Aren’t you going in?"

Becca Reyes looked at Flossie Wright in astonishment, with a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Considering Janice’s usual personality, she would be timid in front of Bard Walker, so shouldn’t Flossie Wright accompany her in?

"No."

Flossie Wright glanced at her and walked away a few steps from the doorway, later stopping towards the direction of the training ground.

This was Janice Wood’s issue, and she had to deal with it by herself. When someone has something they need to do, any inner weakness or fear is swept away, leaving only endless courage and strength. There are many things which can weigh one’s emotions down, making them a burden.

Flossie Wright didn’t know how long Janice Wood could be strong, but at least for now, she was.

Without further prying, Becca Reyes joined Flossie and together they waited for Janice to come out.

In the chill of the upcoming dawn, the training ground, once easily visible, now seemed ambiguous, half-hidden in the dark.

At this moment, they were extremely lucid.

The road of military life could be long or short, and their futures, including that of Flossie Wright herself, were unpredictable.

...

Janice Wood didn’t spend long in Bard Walker’s office. When she exited, she was accompanied by Bard Walker. Somehow, she convinced him to bend the rules and let her see Winsley Scott one last time.

Over the next several days, the entire platoon only performed basic training. The leadership was busy handling the aftermath of the deaths of the two heroes and comforting their families. The soldiers initiated donations, trying their best to do something, even if what they could do was trivial.

After seeing Winsley Scott’s remains, Janice Wood cried once. Afterwards, she spoke little, but did her best not to affect those around her. She calmly went about her business.

Training quietly, quietly eating, living quietly.

She was still alive and thus, didn’t receive much attention. Almost everyone’s attention was on the two fallen heroes. Whenever people mentioned her, all they would say were things like, "Winsley Scott liked her", "Winsley Scott died for her", "She looks pitiful"...
