Flossie Wright understood his intentions.
He wasn’t worried that she would sacrifice herself, but that she wouldn’t.
Yet, if it were any other issue, Flossie could have played along with his words, but on this matter, she couldn’t pretend to love the country that much.
She looked at him calmly and responded affirmatively.
Regan Wright stood rooted to the spot.
Suddenly, the air in the Study Room seemed to freeze, and a tense atmosphere spread rapidly.
Flossie Wright, standing there composed, sensed a wave of intense anger slashing towards her.
Taking a deep breath, Regan Wright struggled to calm himself down, but his low growl was still laced with fury, "Then why did you choose to become a Frogman?!"
"I wanted to." Flossie’s voice was steady.
"For what?"
"Yours?" Regan Wright furrowed his brows tightly.
"Close enough."
Flossie’s tone was very light, so light it was almost without ripples.
She had chosen to become a Frogman indeed for honor.
The honor of the cooking class, the honor of Squad Leader Lin.
Everyone in the cooking class hoped she would become an official selection member along with Becca Reyes, to vindicate their overlooked cooking class.
On the other hand, it was also because of Becca Reyes’s perseverance.
And after that—
Having experienced certain things and learned certain lessons, she began to wonder.
Gradually interested in a military career, she wanted to try to keep going, to see just how far she could go.
However, Regan Wright’s words forced her to face a real question.
If faced with the need to make a sacrifice, would she choose to sacrifice herself for others?
To her, the matter was obvious.
To save others while ensuring her own safety, that was her current duty.
But she had never considered sacrificing herself.
Regan Wright was a soldier, who had lived a life of military service, earned military exploits, experienced death, tasted the joy of victory and the disappointment of defeat; he understood better than anyone else... no, he cared more about the duties of a soldier.
He would never allow his granddaughter to go about the business of supposedly defending the country with such an attitude.
This was the perseverance of a soldier, a true soldier who had gone through the initiation of the Forces.
Should any life be lost because of Flossie’s "self-preservation," unless it went undiscovered by Regan Wright, if he ever found out, the punishment he would impose on Flossie would be severe.
It was precisely because of the significance of this answer, being extraordinary to him, that Flossie had chosen to respond honestly.
She had an unresolved issue, and until it was resolved, she could never become a qualified soldier.
With a heavy roar, Regan Wright staggered backwards, hands propping against the desk behind him; his face turned pale instantly, and sweat dripped profusely, indicating that something seemed amiss.
Flossie Wright frowned, stepped forward, wanting to support him, but he roared at her, "Stay back!"
Stubborn enough!
Pausing slightly, Flossie wanted again to check on him, but before she did, the sound of the door being pushed open rang out.
Following was Regan Wright’s deep voice, "Dad?"
Flossie turned her head to look.
Quickly noticing the situation inside the Study Room, Regan Wright hurried over and grabbed Regan Wright’s shoulders.
"What are you waiting for, call an ambulance now!"
After patting Regan Wright’s back, Regan Wright was seething with anger, and shouted at Flossie without any nicety.
At that moment, realizing the emergency, Flossie had already taken out her cellphone.
Hearing this, Flossie didn’t retort to Regan Wright and unfolded her phone to dial 120.
