Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 56

Chapter 056 She’s That Girl

“Huh?” Chris was baffled. ‘She’s your wife, not mine.’ That was his first reaction. However, his boss looked so serious, and he had to recall it carefully. “Mrs. Moore is young and 24 or 25, maybe.” Owen’s pupils contracted. If Hailey was 24, she was 14 ten years ago. Could the kidnapped girl be her? He was shocked as something sparked in his mind. His heart was racing but his ears were buzzing. The old memories came flooding back.

He took a breath and dialed Matthew’s number. As soon as the line got

through, he asked, “Do you still remember that secret mission at Groyfast ten years ago?”

Matthew had arrived in Belindao not for long. He was discussing the horse

ranch issue with his father, and Owen’s question made him freeze. He recalled it briefly and said, “You mean the mission we went on to rescue a kidnapped girl?” “Exactly.” Owen solemnly stared at the files, his lips going dry. “Do you remember what she looks like?” “That was a long time ago, man. How can I possibly remember?” Matthew tried

his best to think back. “I only remember she was 14 years old in the mission statement. As for her identity and family background, it was confidential. That mission was top-secret, and I was scared out of my wits. I thought I couldn’t make it. That was a close shave. I didn’t expect the other party to be so tough to divide our squad. As far as I remember, you penetrated the hinterland and rescued her, right?” It had been long since their retirement, but those battling days in the past still got his adrenalin rushing and continued to intrigue him. “Why do you suddenly bring this up?” Matthew didn’t get it.

Immersed in his memories, Owen quietly got up and went to the window. He also remembered how difficult that mission was. Their goal was simple, but their opponents were tough. He had no idea why those internationally notorious mercenaries kidnapped a girl. A total of ten men, including Matthew and him, were sent on the mission. 20 back then, they were hot-blooded and fearless. Their squad was divided by the

enemies. His comrades-in-arms opened a path for him, creating a chance for him to save the girl from the hinterland. He calculated the number of their opponents. They didn’t stand a chance of winning. However, a desperate fight was their only option. To his surprise, by the time he entered the house, the girl had taken one man down with a knife.

She had been tied up for 21 days. Those people had taken her to travel across half of Scoysia. In rags, she was scraggy, scarred, and dirty. Even in such a

terrible state, she slit the throat of the other party swiftly and unblinkingly. The blood spurted. Aware that he had come to her rescue, she requested immediately, “Give me a gun.” They fought side by side and exterminated their enemies. He had never seen such a brave girl before. She was a dead shot. Just as he was about to praise her, the tough girl suddenly fell into his arms and softened like a snowflake. He went out with her lying in his arms like a cloud. With a smile, she asked him his name and promised to repay him when she grew up. He replied, “My name is Owen. I don’t need you to repay me. Just live.” In the
