Chapter 181 The Letter Says It All

Ethan…

This was a name that carved into my bones. Someone I’d never forget, regardless whether I was in this world or not.

I took a deep breath and considered what she was asking me. I’d had a chance to say goodbye to my son. I would tell Vicky and Georgia how much I loved them and appreciated their friendship.

What, if anything, did I wish to say to Ethan?

I managed to shake my head a bit. “No,” I said,

Georgia’s eyes were wide open, as if she was heartbroken for her brother. However, seeing me fading, she didn’t press.

I whispered, “I’ve already told him everything I needed to say

“You have?” she asked, kneeling down next to me now.

“Yes, I told her. Tell him… tell him if he’s not sure what to think… how to interpret my feelings for him.. tell him to read the letter again.”

The letter?’ Vicky asked, clarifying She knew which one I meant.

The last time I thought I’d never see Ethan again, I’d told him everything. At the time, he’d thought I was already dead. Now that I was dying… there was nothing I’d want to say differently.

Closing my eyes, I finally admitted to myself that till this day, I still loved him. In fact, I had always loved him.

I came to understand that all of the fear, the anger, and the disappointment were because of the love I had for him.

Therefore, every lie he told, regardless whether he meant it or not, hurt. Every wrong he had done to me, regardless of how small it was, I couldn’t bear.

However, now I was at the end of my life, all I could see closing my eyes was his gentle blue eyes on me. I could almost smell his scent I longed for his arms around me

Yes. The letter says it all.”

**Ethon’s POV

“Alpha, our defense had been pushed back.”

“Alpha, the enemy’s reinforcements have arrived, Led by King Kal, and they are approaching.”

“Alpha, it’s urgent! They are starting to surround us!”

A large map was stretched out across the table in front of us, and as the different messengers came in to report the information about troop movements out on the battlefield, I pleced markers wherever the enemy troops were located. “How many are there?” I asked one of the messengers, a tall, slender man with a pale face who looked terrified. No wonder he wasn’t a warrior.

“On the right side, they have moved up at least twelve thousand warriors, sir,” he said, swallowing hard.

I nodded. “And the left?’

“Our reports show that there are at least ten thousand on the left, sir.” He blinked a few times, like he wos trying to get

the courage up to tell me the total number. “And… another ten thousand in the center.”

“King Kal is out there. And King James’s troops are moving here as well.”

I looked up to see that the voice was commander Landon’s. He would know what Kal looked like

He would also know why it was important to note the man’s arrival.

Slowly, I nodded in understanding

“How long?” I asked the messengers.

“Sir?” the tall one who had been reporting asked, clearly not understanding.

I didn’t have time to explain myself. “How long, dammit!” I shouted at him

Three days, I think,” he stammered. “Maybe_ five? They are coming fast, but the forest is dense there. It depends on how long it takes them to get through the underbrush.’

I did some quick calculations, including the numbers I already knew to be positioned in the three different sectors, and the number of troops amassed against us was staggering

We are outnumbered at least five to one’i mumbled.copy right hot novel pub
