Haniya had never thought that she would have such an opportunity. Now that she had heard of Kingston's heroic deeds and learned about her past, she had the same idea as well. However, what Diego and his men did should have destroyed her chances of joining the army.
Haniya's excited eyes gradually lost brilliance when she thought of this. She lowered her head and said, "I'm happy with my life now."
Kingston looked at Haniya and understood her thoughts. He sighed and said, "You're such a good child. If you want to join the army, I will find a way for you."
"Grandpa! I'm really happy living my life like this now."
Haniya knew that Kingston had never used his own rights for personal affairs in his life, so she did not want him to go against his principles.
She could choose not to join the army. She would still lead a good life even if she could join the Dark Night Empire.
Mango had given her a lot of warmth that she had never had before and she was grateful for that.
Kingston looked at Haniya and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
"I heard that you like Desmond?"
Haniya's face was covered with a blush when Kingston mentioned her crush.
"Well, he looks fine."
Haniya was a little worried when she thought of the surveillance and investigations on Desmond.
"Grandpa, Desmond is completely normal now!"
"I know. Don't worry, I won't do anything to him."
Haniya did not feel very comforted by Kingston's words, but she was still worried.
"Grandpa, you really won't do anything to him? What about the higher-ups?"
"They won't either, but I'm afraid that Desmond can't be an ordinary person with his status."
Haniya became even more uneasy when she heard Kingston's words.
"Grandpa, what do you mean?"
Kingston asked Haniya to sit down and said in a low voice, "Although Desmond has returned to normal, his agility is the best I've ever seen and I want him to stay in the military region."
"What if he refuses?"
Haniya held Kingston's hand nervously.
In fact, Kingston also had another granddaughter,
Hattie. However, she had never dared to hold his hand like this and talk to him like a normal grandfather.
But he couldn't bear to reject Haniya.
Kingston suddenly smiled and said, "If he doesn't want to, I will vouch for him. Don't worry."
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Haniya hugged Kingston and she felt as though the void in her heart had been filled up.
She accompanied Kingston for a while before returning to her room. When she saw Mango sitting there staring at her, she couldn't help but hurry forward.
"Mrs. Ye? Why didn't you tell me when you came?"
"It's nothing, how was your chat with your grandfather?"
Mango was also happy for Haniya. She was afraid that Haniya would be sad over what happened with the Bell family, so she came over to take a look.
Haniya said with a smile, "Grandpa is very good. Thank you, Mrs. Ye. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to see my family."
"Don't be silly."
Mango smiled.
Nanny Liu had already prepared tea leaves for Mango. When she saw Haniya, she quickly brought over Haniya's medicine.
