Emmanuel had already sensed that something was amiss, and now he was

even more sensitive. After helping his wife onto the bed, he asked cautiously,

“Mackenzie, you’re not really planning to go to the Dark Night Islands, are you?

I disagree!” He stated his stance directly, not giving his wife any illusions.

“Why?” Mackenzie hadn’t expected Emmanuel’s attitude to be so resolute.

Slightly agitated, she asked, “Aren’t you always deeply troubled by

Claudette’s death? You’ve sacrificed so much before to find her with Ashton.

Now that you know her whereabouts, don’t you intend to rescue her?”

“I will rescue her, but not personally, and I’m certainly not letting you go!”

Emmanuel asserted firmly. “I’ll send Sage to lead the team! Snake Master can

also help!”

“What if Sage and the others can’t save her, and she dies on Dark Night

Islands?” Mackenzie countered.

Emmanuel fell silent, offering no response.

“Emmanuel, I know Claudette means a lot to you. If she really dies, you’ll never

forgive yourself! That’s why I need you to do everything in your power to save

her. If even that doesn’t bring her back, at least you’ll have no regrets, right?”

Mackenzie said with a smile.

“No!” Emmanuel shook his head. “I won’t go!”

“Why?” Mackenzie was surprised by his attitude. Even her grandfather agreed

to her going. Why would he be so determined not to go?

“Don’t you get it?” Emmanuel’s voice rose with emotion. “Yes, Claudette

sacrificed herself for me twice. I’m grateful to her, and no one can replace her

in my heart. I’m willing to risk my life to save her! But for me, you and our baby

are the most important! And a man’s responsibility is the most important! For

you two, I can only give up rescuing Claudette in person. Otherwise, if I fail to

protect you both, I’d truly be better off dead!”

This dilemma wasn’t something new for Emmanuel. Over the past three

years, he had been regretting deeply.

Back then, to save the lives of his comrades in the Wolf Warrior Unit, he chose

to abandon the mission, ultimately leading to the failure of the entire battle,

the deaths of thousands of comrades, and the disbandment of the Wolf

Warrior Unit.

At that time, he didn’t regret his choice, nor did he know what the right thing

to do was. But now, he understood! As a man, responsibility was paramount.

In a situation where he couldn’t have both, sacrificing himself for the greater

good was the only option!

For the Northern Region Wolf, the country and the mission were paramount;

the Wolf Warriors themselves and their lives were secondary. Sacrificing all of

them for the country and the mission was worth it.

As for a man, family and responsibility were paramount, while a confidante

was secondary. He couldn’t afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the

sake of something trivial, even if it meant bearing the blame in the end. He

had to protect the greater good. Therefore, between protecting his family and sending people to rescue Claudette, he would choose the latter.

Looking into his eyes, Mackenzie almost couldn’t hold back her tears. After a

while, she kissed Emmanuel’s cheek gently and whispered, “I understand

now. Thank you, Emmanuel.”

Emmanuel hugged her tightly, kissing her forehead. “Both you and Claudette

are important to me. I’m willing to die for her, but I want to live for you and our

baby!”

Mackenzie kept a smile of happiness, but in her mind, the sinister watch kept

swinging, making it impossible for her to think calmly…

Early the next morning, Emmanuel woke up to find his wife missing from the

bed.

“Mackenzie?” He called out uneasily, quickly getting out of bed.

As he stepped into the living room, he saw Mackenzie making breakfast.

“What are you doing, cooking?! Let me do it!” Emmanuel hurried over to take

the spatula from her hand.

But Mackenzie smiled gently. “You’ve always cooked for me. Now that I’m

resting at home, won’t you let me make you breakfast once?”

#

Emmanuel smiled wryly. “You’re pregnant and need to rest. Even if you feel

sorry for me, you can hire someone else to do it!”

“Hasn’t it always been just the two of us, without any servants? I like life with

just the two of us!” Mackenzie said earnestly.

Emmanuel smiled happily. “So do I.”

Although Terence and Beatrix were also currently living with them in the

mansion, it was massive, and the elder and the young woman were very

considerate not to disturb the couple’s life unless Emmanuel and Mackenzie

went to them.
