Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, a few months had passed.
All the new recruits had completed all the basic training and officially became confirmed members of the Red Eagle Team.
The fact that Levi and Monique didn’t like each other was already common knowledge throughout the team. All the soldiers avoided talking about Levi in front of Monique and vice versa in fear of getting beaten up.
As usual, the two of them were paired up during training. Their combative style became more and more in- sync, but their conversation between them grew lesser. Except when absolutely necessary, neither was willing to say a word to the other. Both of them tried to avoid meeting as much as possible so that they wouldn’t get annoyed by the sight of each other.
That day, after training was over, Levi and Monique separated instantly and went back to the dining hall with their own groups.
Ronald, who was following Levi, suddenly asked, 'Are you interested in making a bet?"
Someone added, "What are we betting on?"
Ronald looked at Levi again and said, "What about you, Levi? Are you interested?"
Levi said lazily, "If you have something to say, just spill it now. Don't keep me guessing here."
Ronald immediately asked, "Is Monique a man or a woman, or is she neither?"
Levi raised his hand and slapped Ronald’s shoulder. "Ronald, why are you so rude? Don't laugh at others!"
"Just tell me whether you want in on this bet," Ronald said.
Before Levi could reply, someone called out to him, "Levi, the commander wants you to go to his office immediately. He has important matters to discuss with you."
After being interrupted, Levi forgot that Ronald was still waiting for his reply and rushed to Commander Black's office. Without stopping for a moment, he knocked on the door and entered. "Sir, I heard that you have an urgent matter to discuss with me."
Jasper said, "Levi, Colonel Brown just called and asked me to tell you some good news and also, some bad news."
Levi said doubtfully, "What is it that my father can't tell me personally? Why did he ask you to pass the message?"
Jasper continued, "Do you want to hear the good news first or the bad news first?"
Levi replied, "Of course, I'll hear the good news first."
Jasper said, "Your cousin, Jayden, called home and said that his wife is three months pregnant."
Levi rushed over excitedly and hugged Jasper, "Really? Is Silvia really pregnant? As I said, Jayden and Silvia are so kind, and they love each other so much. How could God not bestow them a child?"
Everyone in the family knew how much Silvia liked children. Everyone was looking forward to her having a child of her own. Now, when Levi heard that she was pregnant, he was so excited that he forgot that there was also bad news awaiting him.
It was as if Jasper did not want Levi to be too carried away in his joy, so before Levi could say anything else, Jasper continued, "The bad news is that his wife's condition was very unstable at the early stage of pregnancy. Suddenly, she learned that Jayden has had a child with another woman outside, so she miscarried out of anger."
