Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 95

Lilian got a red mark on her face. Instantly, she stared at Winona in outrage, shouting, “How dare you slap me?”

Winona smiled and showed Lilian her palm. A mosquito was lying in her palm. She said in a soft voice, “The mosquitoes in early autumn are the most annoying. They buzz around every day and keep pestering people. So you watch out for them, Miss Tucker.”

Lilian could only suppress her anger in her chest. In fact, she knew Winona was intentional. But Winona did help her kill the mosquito, so what could she say about it? After all, she was Miss Tucker, and she had to maintain her grace. She could not make a fuss like a shrew, right?

She had to swallow her anger and even had to say thank you to Winona politely.

Seeing Lilian’s defeated look, Winona smiled and touched her swollen face. “The autumn mosquitoes are really powerful. Your face is already swollen. So you’d better go rub some cooling ointment.”

Lilian felt aggrieved, returned to her father’s tent with a discolored face and gulped down a lot of water.

“Don't drink so much water. You have a body combat competition later. Aren’t you afraid of bursting your stomach?”

Frederick walked over and snatched the water bottle away abruptly from her. Seeing the slap mark on her face, he knew she must have been taught a good lesson by Winona, so he sneered right away. “You can’t even take care of a woman, how are you gonna handle Matt? I suggest you stop dreaming and just accept Senator Channing’s marriage proposal, by which you may can get more support for me.”

Her face paled. When she thought of Senator Channing’s fat and lustful face, she wanted so much to vomit. He was not even comparable to Matt’s toe. Besides this, her only dream was to marry Matt and she would not give it up so easily.

“Dad, don’t worry. I will seize the opportunity this time to stay by Matt’s side. Isn’t this also your wish?”

He patted her shoulder. “It'd better be so. Otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless later.”

She rubbed his shoulders and said, “Dad, I won’t let you down.”

Before leaving, he put a tail ring on her ring finger. “This is all I can help you with. The rest is up to you.”

She gently turned to inspect the tail ring and found the diamond chips were actually made from a colorless and tasteless powder. Instantly her eyes sparkled. “Thank you, dad.”

The competition had four sessions in total, including body combat, weight-bearing orienteering, shooting and wilderness survival.

Lilian was full of confidence. Because she used to accompany Matt to train these all skills. When she looked at those skinny women in the compound, she was sure that she could beat them all. Finally, she landed her eyes on Winona and smiled with a smug face.

Winona snorted and smiled back at her with a scornful look. If it was in the past, she might be scared of these. After all, she was a doctor and she only learned some simple combat skills to defend herself. But now things were different. Matt gave her personal training and they trained in various places, including bathroom, sofa, balcony, bed and so on. Although she was no match for him, and pretty much every time she ended up being worn out by him, she was positive that she could handle these women in the competition!

To avoid suspicion, Matt did not intervene anything in this competition. He only sat aside in a military uniform with sunglasses. Despite this, Winona always felt that his gaze was on her.

Lilian happily walked to Matt and handed him a bottle of water. “Matt, don’t worry. I will take care of Winona.”

“My woman doesn’t need anyone else’s care,” he replied.

She smiled awkwardly. “Winona had not had any physical training. If there is an accident, you will be heartbroken, and I don't want to see that.”

He frowned slightly and sneered. “You’d better worry about yourself. Maybe your father will be heartbroken.”

He no longer paid attention to her and directly threw the water bottle she brought to Felix beside him. Felix took the water, not knowing whether to drink it or not. Finally, he chose to stare at his military boots with eyes lowered.

She felt a mixture of emotions inside, biting her lips and looking at him sadly. “Matt, can’t we really go back to the old days?”

“When you set up my woman, you were no longer the little sister in my heart,” he replied.

So it was all because of that bitch! She was filled with grief and anger, asking, “What am I to you? Our twenty-year relationship means nothing to you compared to a woman?”

They entered the Tucker family house together, struggling and rising to prominence among a group of orphans. He was sent to the military camp by Frederick while she became Frederick’s daughter. He would visit her every time he came back, stroking her head and telling her that everything would be fine. But now he erased their years of feelings for only a woman. She could not figure out why.

“There is no comparison between you and her. She is my whole world,” he replied.

Hearing his words, she felt disappointed to the extreme. He did not want to talk with her anymore and prepared to leave when she suddenly grabbed his hand, asking in a trembling voice, “What...exactly am I to you?”

He smiled indifferently. “You were my chess partner in the past. But now you are the daughter of my teacher. Considering this, I won't do anything to you. But if you dare hurt Winona, I will not spare you.”

“Chess partner?” she asked.

“Yes. Both you and I were his pawns. But I have escaped his control. And you want to use my strength to get rid of him. If you confessed to me in the first place, I might have been able to help you. But now what you did made me sick!” he said.

He violently shook away her hand and walked to the front row so that he could see Winona more clearly.

Lilian's heart shivered. In fact, she had many chances to escape Frederick’s control, but she did not leave because she wanted to see Matt. And she was twenty-six now, ready to get married at any time but she did not want to accept any proposal because she was still waiting for him.

But she could no longer say these words out. Turning her head and looking at his straight back, she shed tears. Winona was his whole world but he was her whole world too! And she must win him back in this life!

She wiped her tears, and went to the ring with red eyes and gritted teeth.

The participants in the competition were mostly girls with qualified medical skills and strong backgrounds selected from various hospitals. And their basically shared a same purpose, to get close to an officer. It was almost a public secret.

Winona was trying to avoid gossips about her and Matt, but what she did not know was that without him, she was not qualified to be selected.

Soon she stood out in that group of girls with adept skills.

A lot of beautiful women were competing on the stage while a group of men were watching the game excitedly off stage.

Suddenly Felix shouted, “Oh god, Winona fell!”
