Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 61

Sharon screamed and threw the syringe onto the ground. She then looked at her with her bloodshot eyes, “You damn bitch!”

Winona did not hesitate to slap her and yelled, “Ha! Pot calling the kettle black!”

Sharon raised her hand to touch where she was slapped and her eyes raged angrily and yelled, “If you weren’t that slut, then how could I be in this situation? You’ve robbed me of everything!”

Winona was speechless. A narcissist would never realize her own mistakes. She always pushed all the blame to others.

“On account of your years of struggle, I’ll remind you of something. Even if you’re the daughter of the Winston family, even if you’re beautiful beyond description, Benjamin will still not love you.”

Benjamin was Sharon’s kryptonite. Any issue regarding him would cause Sharon to lose her mind. She yelled, “You bitch! If I was the one who was engaged to him, he would love me dearly. You are the slut who stole his heart!”

Winona slowly approached Sharon and said, “Looks like you already know. Then tell me what happened at that time to cause you and your family to be so apprehensive?”

Sharon shuddered and then came to her senses. She started to feign madness again, “I don’t know, I don’t know anything…”

Winona grabbed the back of her neck and pushed her into the water. She struggled and splashed violently. Just as she almost passed out, Winona released her and said, "You can exchange for a chance to live with the secret. Think about it.”

Sharon gasped desperately for air as she looked at herself in the reflection on the water. She was raging with hatred but she knew that she was no match for Winona. The only way for her to protect the secret was…

She suddenly started to eat her hair as she shouted, “I don’t know, I don’t know anything.”

Winona scoffed as she thought, ‘This woman must either be a fool or she thinks that others are fools.’ Before Winona could even do anything to her, she had already tried to act insane.

Winona stepped behind her and then kicked Sharon into the pond. Sharon looked up at Winona with bloodshot eyes.

“Ha! Your look of hatred already betrayed you!” Winona scoffed.

Sharon reacted and then struggled in the water, “Help… help…”

Winona dusted her shoulders and then coldly said, “You are terrible at acting. No wonder you are good-for-nothing.”

Sharon was furious and wanted so much to push Winona to the bottom of the pond. Just as she was about to do something, she saw two nurses approaching and she began her performance, playing with the water. “Oh! How fun! Haha!”

The two nurses then pulled her out of the pond.

“Oh my, how pitiful this woman is! She was married into a wealthy family and now had lost her mind.”

“Oh well, who could she blame? She was her own doing. How could a wealthy family accept such behavior of hers?”

Sharon gritted her teeth angrily but she had to continue to pretend to be insane.

At this moment, Lilian walked over from afar. When she saw the pitiful state Sharon was in, she frowned and thought to herself that she had lost control. She then quickly said to the nurses, “Go along, leave her to me.”

The nurses mumbled to each other as they left.

“Isn’t she isolated at the AIDS Quarantine Area? Why was she back so soon?”

“I heard that they did not detect any AIDS on her. The hospital even provided medical proof that she’s still a virgin.”

“What? Then who was the one in the video who had sex with so many men?”

“Who knew? Apparently, the videos were now deleted. Furthermore, someone verified that the woman in the video was just a woman who looked a lot like her and not Lilian.”

“Tsk tsk tsk… that’s the difference when you have authority and influence. Black can even become white.”

“Regardless, stay well clear of her in the future. Perhaps she really has AIDS.”

Lilian took out a bandage from her pocket and wanted to dress up Sharon’s wound but was pushed away by her. She managed a stiff smile, “This… it’s nothing. I’ll do it myself back at the room.”

What? To think that Sharon despised her? Lilian rolled her eyes and said, “As you please.”

“Oh yes, what was in that syringe?” Sharon asked.

“Did you inject it into her?” Lilian asked.

“That bitch reacted very swiftly. She instead injected it into me. I didn’t even have the chance to touch her.”

Lilian's eyes were filled with disdain. A fool was a fool. She bent down to pick up the syringe and carefully wrapped it up and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just something to trigger her allergy. I just wanted to embarrass her in public.”

“No wonder I feel rather itchy. Don’t forget to give me some anti-allergy medicine.” Sharon said.

Lilian brought Sharon to the VIP patient’s room. When she closed the door, her lips curled up into an odd grin. This was a good turn of events. After all, this stupid woman knew too much of her secrets. She should just let her die unknowingly and no one would trace this to her.

She went to a deserted place and then placed the blood-stained syringe into a zip lock bag and buried it.

Aileen was asleep and Winona did not want to wake her. She placed the toys, snacks, and clothes in the room before leaving quietly.

She went to the carpark to retrieve her car when suddenly a familiar figure blocked her way. It was Benjamin. She had not seen him for days and he still looked very handsome. But his face was rather worn-looking, “Winona, I’d like a word with you.”

Winona furrowed her brows. “I had already made myself clear with you. There is nothing further to discuss between us.”

She started the car and was about to drive off but he stood in front of it. She had no choice but to open the door. He sat at the front passenger seat and then grabbed her hand, “Winona, you can still leave Matt.”

Winona flung off his hand and yelled, “Benjamin, you should be concerned about your wife, not me.”

He frowned bitterly, “Matt is not suitable for you. He treads on the knife-edge and who knows when he will implicate you? Furthermore, he married you because he was jealous…”

“Enough! That was my choice and had nothing to do with you! The Larson family wanted you to marry Sharon and you also did not object!”

Benjamin closed his eyes in agony. It was only when he lost Winona did he realize that he had lost everything he had.

Winona’s phone beeped and it was a notification of the news app. The headline sent shivers down her spine: General Matt Snider of Coscana had a deal with Logan Farrell, the head of the Cosmos. He may be the mastermind of Cosmos.

Winona tossed her cellphone aside and grabbed Benjamin’s collar, glowering at him, “Tell me, what the hell is happening?”
