A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1568

Larry paused for a while and continued, “Fortunately, we survived every mission and never suffered any severe injuries or casualties.

“Everything was smooth until our superior assigned a precarious mission to us.

“When he met us, he stated clearly that the mission was important but dangerous. In fact, he said that the probability that all of us could survive was merely twenty percent.

“Since the mission was the most dangerous one that we had ever accepted, we couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted.

“Nonetheless, we couldn't opt out because it was our duty, responsibility, and immense honor to serve the country.

“At that time, I somehow understood what my dad meant.

“We flew to Manchernius for the mission. Since the mission went on smoothly, we were delighted and thought that our superior exaggerated.

“However, when we were halfway to complete the mission, a mole revealed some classified information to the enemy. Hence, our whereabouts were exposed, and we were surrounded by more than three hundred enemies.

“It was too late for us to realize that the mission was indeed precarious. As the mission failed, we had to try our best to escape.

“We fought hard for a way out.

“Unfortunately, only five of us returned to the country. Two of us were severely injured and passed out. As for the remaining three comrades, we failed to even locate the bodies.

“I still remember one of my comrades said before he died, “Boss, run for your life. They can't make it if you don't lead them. Take care of them. Also, take care of my parents!”

“With that, he sprang upon the enemies to distract them while I grabbed the chance to escape. Do you know how heartbroken I was at that time?

“He died because of me. I watched as he fell to the ground. He dared not to even glance at me, for fear that the enemies would discover me. At that moment, I felt that my heart was sliced piece by piece with a knife!

“Nonetheless, I knew that I couldn't die, for I had to live not only for myself but my comrades.
