Chapter 262
Back to the camp, Kenneth got out of the car, ignored Cassandra, and directly walked away.
Cassandra was left standing at the car door in a daze.
She didn’t think this was a good sign.
Kenneth was angry with her, but she didn’t expect this to happen as well.
Moreover, when the signal was blocked, she cracked it right the first time and asked someone to contact him.
She couldn’t figure out why he was still so angry.
Seeing that Kenneth came in alone, Yannick and Kayden were a little surprised. They thought Kenneth went to pick Cassandra up.
So they were confused seeing him back alone.
“Kenneth, where’s Cassie?” Kayden couldn’t help asking.
Kayden was worried that Kenneth failed to bring Cassandra back from those people.
Kenneth didn’t say anything. At this time, Cassandra also came in with aggrieved eyes touch of fear for having done something wrong…?

Yannick thought, ‘I must’ve misread it. When has Ms. Yates ever admitted she did something wrong?
‘Moreover, it seems that Mr. Zelinski is angry with Ms. Yates. Otherwise, his face won’t be so sullen.
‘Mr. Zelinski is still angry with Ms. Yates at such a time. He’s such an unqualified boyfriend!‘
Kayden winked at Yannick.
His
eyes said, ‘Let’s go out and let the two of them talk.

The latter replied with his eyes too, ‘Is that okay? I feel Mr. Zelinski will eat Ms. Yates alive!
Kayden winked as if saying, ‘Cassie knows what she’s doing, and Kenneth won’t do anything to her. Let’s go first.‘
Therefore, Yannick and Kayden silently left the tent and left the two of them alone.
“Ken, are you angry?”
Seeing that no one else was in the tent, Cassandra ventured to walk towards Kenneth.
His face was gloomy. In the past, he was always formidable even though he didn’t show his anger, but now the emotion on his face was quite obvious.
Kenneth ignored her and didn’t even look at her.
Cassandra could feel his anger. She felt that he didn’t want to talk to her, so she decided to let him calm down and talk about this matter later.
So, she turned around and walked towards the door. Looking at her lonely back, Kenneth felt distressed.
He thought, ‘Why should I get angry with her? She was only doing this for ordinary people involved in the war.
‘She’s Dr. Quirke. How can a doctor watch people die and do nothing? Then she won’t be herself.‘
But as long as he thought of the time when he went there and saw Kamila’s subordinate aiming his gun at her, his heart was lifted up to his throat. He was so afraid that something horrible would happen if he was a bit late.
He wanted her to learn her lesson and not go out alone like this again, and he wanted to get angry with her so that she would know the seriousness of the matter. However, looking at her lonely back, he was no longer angry but only distressed.
“Do you know what you did wrong?” Hearing Kenneth’s voice, Cassandra paused.
She looked at him and noticed the indifference on his face was gone.

She hurriedly walked to Kenneth and said with a grievance, “I know. I won’t put the gun in the camp next time.”
Kenneth was rendered speechless.
He thought, ‘Does she think that’s the point?‘
“I don’t think you’ve realized the problem.” Kenneth took a deep breath and told himself not to get angry with his girlfriend.
“I know what you want to say. It’s so dangerous out there. I shouldn’t go out to save people or put myself in danger. I understand everything you want to say.” Cassandra paused and said seriously, “Ken, first of all, I’m a doctor. It’s not my personality to fold my hands and see people die. I can refuse to save evil people according to my mood, but those outside are just ordinary people involved in the war.
“They lost their homes and money, and they couldn’t get treatment in the hospital. Since I met them, I couldn’t leave them alone. Moreover, these two days, I’ve found more than 20 Clusians. Isn’t that a good thing?
“Secondly, I’m a member of the National Security Bureau. Although I’m only an information security department officer, I am also a member of the country and a part of this Evacuation Operation. If there may be Clusian citizens outside, then shouldn’t I them?”

find
Cassandra made a good point. As a doctor and a civil servant, she should put the safety of Clusian citizens first.
However, Kenneth was a human being and had his own selfish motives. He just wanted Cassandra not to get hurt.
“But have you ever thought about me? When I saw Brut put his gun against your head, have you thought how I would feel? Have you thought I might be afraid when I saw that scene?”
Kenneth felt that his retort was a little powerless.
“I understand. You were all over my mind. I knew that you must’ve received the news and would come to save me as soon as possible and not leave me in danger, so I wasn’t afraid of those people. Besides, I just didn’t have a gun, but I could protect myself. It wouldn’t be a
3/5
problem for me to snatch one from them.
“But at that time, I thought if you came over and saw me against so many people, you would be more frightened, so I didn’t act rashly and waited for you.”
Speaking of this, Cassandra also felt a little aggrieved. No one dared to point a gun at her head like that before, but she had experienced it today.
If it had been in the past, she would definitely strike back. But she pretended not to see it because she was afraid that her counterattack would scare Kenneth.
When the Evacuation Operation was over, she would surely rip that man’s head off and kick it like a ball!
Kenneth felt both relieved and helpless. He was relieved that she had considered him even in such a dangerous situation, but he was helpless because he knew that she would still do it again.
“Fine. But don’t think about going out these days. Our men will go find the wounded and missing Clusian citizens, which is our duty as soldiers. You just need to do your job in the
camp.
“As for the medicine sent by Ethan, you can sort it out and tell me about the usage and dosage. I’ll think about how to give it to the people outside, okay?”
Kenneth said that patiently, but he wasn’t sure whether she would listen.
“Okay.” Cassandra nodded and continued, “Then can you stop being angry?”
“I wasn’t angry with you. I was angry with myself.” He was angry with himself for not going out with her.
Cassandra suddenly hugged Kenneth and said in an aggrieved voice, “I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”
When he got out of the car and walked away without looking back, when he returned to the tent without saying a word, she thought that she would be abandoned again.
The fear and terror in her heart grew recklessly. She had even thought that if he didn’t want
her anymore, she would die with him.
No one was strong enough to be abandoned so many times.
She could be cruel to anyone, but she had imagined countless times that Kenneth no longer wanted her and still couldn’t convince herself.
Luckily, he didn’t.
Kenneth felt distressed. He hugged Cassandra and said, “What are you thinking about? I’ll never abandon you.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
Cassandra felt that she was very different from before.
She thought, ‘Am I only like this in front of him?‘
