    Madison watched him walk away, feeling as if a third of the broken pieces in her heart had been put


    back together. Even shattered and scarred, they were beginning to mend.


    Was he waiting for her?


    The rescue mission that Madison had been a part of resonated widely, though she was unaware of


    the stir it caused.


    She continued her preparations and training tasks in peace after the


    incident had settled.


    However, the attitudes of the other pilots had changed markedly


    towards her from that day forward.


    They often sought her expertise on various matters.


    Some pilots might never experience a thunderstorm or a tsunami in


    their entire career.


    Thus, such flight experience was invaluable.


    Moreover, whenever there was something delicious to eat, they treated her like a beloved younger


    sibling or a cherished niece.


    Madison had be the darling of the training base, shining brightly in their midst.


    The second assessment was not carried out, yet when Madison saw her name at the top of the list,


    she was utterly baffled.


    An old military pilot, now retired, chuckled, “This assessment was supposed to fly through adverse


    weather conditions, but due to an unexpected earthquake, our entire journey to Jingzhou was made


    into

    Madison looked at the nine pilots, each one more experienced than her, apuding her warmly, her


    eyes welling up.


    It had been a long time since she had felt this kind of recognition.


    This aplishment also spread within the industry.


    Many people knew of the young 25-year-old girl named Madison who had flown from ndon


    Harbor to Jingzhou in just under an hour and led a helicopter squadron safely through harsh


    weather to Jingzhou during an earthquake, and then back again.


    Her name had already be well-known.”


    In many ces, including military aviation inquiries, Ethan replied with a statement: “She will


    definitely be Mukino Airlines’ female captain, and I won’t let her go.”


    Ethan’s words effectively dissuaded everyone from trying to poach


    Madison.


    When Charlie learned of all this, he became very curious about the woman named Madison.


    However, Mukino Airlines had sealed her information as confidential, making it inessible to


    others.


    Subsequently, Madison trained peacefully at the base for nearly twenty days.


    During those twenty days, she had no contact with Ethan. She trained earnestly with the other


    pilots, discussing flight techniques, and how to handle emergencies. Madison’s days were fulfilling.


    “Madison, did you ever get a chance to touch a fighter jet?” someone

    asked curiously.


    Madison paused mid-meal, then nodded, “My grandfather flew fighter jets.”


    “That exins it.”


    Then, an old military pilot spoke up, “Your grandfather is Meng Yachen?”


    Madison was astonished, “You know him?”


    The old pilot nodded, “He was my team leader back then. The first time I saw you, I recognized you.


    He always showed us your picture, bragging about how you were doing in flight school, often


    coming first in your ss; he was very proud.”….


    Thinking of her grandfather brought a sourness to Madison’s eyes.


    She felt ashamed, having given up her dream for a man, failing her grandfather.


    “But your grandfather wasn’t wrong; you’re excellent,” the old military pilot said.


    The other pilots nodded in agreement, with one adding, “If you be a captain, we would be


    convinced. We hope you continue to


    strive.”


    Madison smiled broadly, “Thank you.”


    The next day.


    The twenty-plus days of training were drawing to a close.


    Ranked ording to threeprehensive assessments, the young pilot Madison astonishingly


    took second ce, following only the old military pilot, securing a spot in the top three.


    But as the ranking list was distributed, some at Mukino International’s management level raised


    objections-


    “Even if she’s outstanding, we can’t disregardpany rules. She’s never been a captain, nor does


    she have experience in handling


    emergencies. We can’t gamble the safety of our passengers and the reputation of ourpany on


    her.”


    “I disagree with her serving as captain.”


    Another concurred, “I disagree as well.”
