novelxo Chapter 1613
The battle was still going on.
Finally, reinforcements arrived.
Once they arrived, the enemies were wiped out in a short time. There were no survivors.
After the enemies were eliminated, Levi, who was injured, dragged himself to Ronald's side.
He gritted his teeth and said solemnly. "Ronald, you are a hero. You are not only our hero but also the hero of these people we have saved together. We are proud of you. The people and the country are proud of you. Even your parents would be proud of you. Today, you have left us. I will help you to take good care of your parents. Please take good care of yourself in heaven."
Levi did not shed a tear. However, he took off his hat and gave Ronald a stiff military salute. "Ronald, rest in peace. I hope we will be comrades again, in our next life!" he thought solemnly.
Monique stood beside Levi and also gave Ronald a military salute. When she glanced at Levi, she was shocked to see blood oozing out of his right arm. He was injured! She seized his arm and said anxiously, "Levi, why don't you go and see the military doctor so that he can treat your wound?"
Levi did not respond.
Monique was flustered. "Levi, four of us came here together. Now that Ronald is gone, are you planning on leaving the world too?"
Tears welled up in her eyes as she recalled the day when they set off for the deserted island. She remembered Ronald saying ecstatically, "The commander sent us to complete such a difficult mission. He must think highly of us. I must work hard in the future and earn more military medals for Red Eagle. I will make my parents proud."
His voice echoed in her mind, but he had left them forever. He would never return.
Ronald was gone forever. She should appreciate those who were still alive. Monique did not care what Levi would think of her. She seized his other hand and urged, "Levi, follow me and get your wound treated first."
However, Levi said coldly, "Let go of me."
He was the one who brought Ronald to the battlefield, but he failed to protect him. Levi's heart ached but he could not even shed a tear because he was a man. He wished more than ever that he could cry out loud like Cecil. The grief was so strong that it became a nauseating pain.
Frustrated, Monique yelled, "Levi, do you wish to die?"
"It's none of your business!" Levi bellowed at the top of his lungs.
Monique bit her lips and stifled a retort. She muttered, "Levi Brown! Why are you so stubborn?"
Suddenly, the realization dawned on her. Was Levi blaming himself for Ronald's death? Was he trying to give up his life for that cause?
Monique was on pins and needles. She would not let Levi act imprudently. "Levi, follow me to the military doctor at once! We need to treat your wound."
"Go! Leave me alone!" Levi bellowed.
Anger coursed through her veins. Fuming mad, Monique retorted, "Levi, don't be so childish, okay?"
Just as the two of them were bickering, Cecil cried out in a feeble voice, "Ronald often told me that he admired the both of you very much, You guys always got first place easily while he failed no matter how hard he tried. To him, you guys are geniuses. He always hoped that both of you could cooperate and accomplish great things in the future."
After a short pause, she continued, "Ronald was a sensitive person. He took everything we said to heart. Sometimes, he belittled himself and thought that we looked down on him. However, most of the time, he was proud to have us as his comrades."
Cecil stared at Levi and said, "Levi, I understand how you feel. However, we can't revive the dead. The only thing we can do is to cherish him in our hearts and work hard to become successful soldiers. In the future, we must let everyone know that we used to have a comrade. He had passed away but he was a remarkable soldier."
Cecil had hit the nail on the head. Although his heart ached, Levi knew that she was right. He had to live on and strive to become a better soldier. In the future, he would let everyone know about Ronald's existence and his honorable sacrifice."
"All right, I'll go get my wound treated." Feeling a little lightheaded and queasy, he spun around and was about to go and find a military doctor. Without warning, his vision blurred and his knees buckled as he blacked out. He seemed to hear Monique and Cecil frantic screams before he passed out. "Levi!" they shouted.
They kept shouting his name, but it was fruitless. He couldn't control himself. He felt himself falling onto something soft although he could not figure out why. Within minutes, he had fallen into a coma. And he was engulfed in darkness, unable to hear a single sound...
"Levi..." Instinctively, Monique caught him in her arms. However, he was a lot heavier than her and she lost her balance. He toppled down on her. "Levi, wake up! Don't scare me. Wake up, please!" Monique wanted to carry him and go find a military doctor immediately but he was too heavy. Tried as she might, Monique could not even lift him. She was so flustered that she almost kicked him. Fortunately, Cecil was by their side. Cecil helped to drag Levi aside so that Monique could get up. Panting heavily, she commented, "Wow, men and women are truly different."
Monique got up quickly and inspected Levi's wounds. "Cecil, I'll watch after him while you go and get a military doctor. There are so many wounds on his body. It can't be delayed any further. He needs immediate treatment."
Cecil turned and ran to find a military doctor, leaving Monique to take care of Levi.
Monique's hands were stained with blood. Clearly, it was Levi's blood, gushing out of his wounds.
Fear clutched at her heart. Without hesitation, Monique took off his shirt and inspected his wounds. She gasped when she saw the wounds. It was terrible! Her heart ached. "You are an idiot. You are also the only son of the family. Can't you think about your parents before you act rashly?"
However, Levi remained unconscious.
It broke her heart to see him in this dire state...
