Aimee’s tone was far from weing when she finally spoke. “It’s you, but what are you doing here?”
she eximed in surprise.
Willow replied, “I have my reasons for being here.”
Aimee frowned. “Is this a ce anyone can just walk into?”
Willow rified, “Outsiders aren’t usually allowed, but family members are an exception.”
Aimee’s breath caught. “Are you two together?”
Willow corrected her, “We’re not just together; we’re engaged and getting married soon.”
Aimee hadn’t anticipated that Jasper and Willow were still an item, and she struggled to hide her
disappointment. As she attempted topose herself, her sharp eyes caught the telltale marks on
Willow’s delicate neck—unmistakable love bites. The sight hit her like a blow to the stomach, and she
turned to leave.
Willow also felt a sense of relief. She could tell that Aimee’s feelings for Jasper had been there for a
long time, given their shared history in this ce. Willow pondered that she and the man had only
known each other for less than six months, making her empathize with Aimee’s disappointment and

When Jasper returned to his room and found Willow inside, he let out a sigh of relief, fearing Aimee
might cause trouble for her.
“Yourrade was looking for you just now,” Willow informed him.
“I know. Did she say anything to you?” he asked nervously.

Shortly after, Aimee was called to Antoine’s office. When she learned about the transfer order, she
remained surprisinglyposed. “Mr. Wyatt, did you arrange this intentionally?”
Antoine tried to persuade her, saying, “This is the best choice for your future. Some things can’t be
forced, and you can embark on a new mission in a different environment.”
Clenching her fists, Aimee acknowledged that she had let her love blind her and couldn’t control her
desires. She knew Jasper was in love with Willow, but she refused to admit she was any less deserving
than Willow and couldn’t let go of her feelings. “When am I leaving?”
“In three days.”
“Okay.” She agreed to the transfer but still wanted to know the results of Jasper’s surgery before
departing.
After 7.00PM, Jasper underwent several checkups while Willow anxiously waited outside the military
medic’s operating theater. Despite his assurances that the surgery wasn’t risky, she was more nervous
than if she were the one going under the knife.
Antoine approached her and tried to ease her anxiety. “It’s just a minor surgery. Try not to worry too
much.”
Although Willow nodded, she couldn’t sit still due to her nervousness. Meanwhile, Aimee stood nearby,
watching Willow with an inscrutable expression in her eyes.

face as she clenched her fists.
