The injured frogmen had been taken by helicopter to the hospital earlier, and all the aftermath regarding the hostages, island, pirate ship, and so on, was not their concern anymore.
Others would make arrangements.

Apart from the patients, everything at the Base was as usual, the only unsettling thing was that Calvin Ramos had been taken away.
It was said that he was being scrutinized from above.
A very strict scrutiny.
The frogmen privy to the inside story had been ordered by Ella Pemberton to seal their lips on the same day; since Franklin Cody was hospitalized for being shot during the mission, and the few male soldiers who knew about it had also been called over by Ella Pemberton for a talk, luckily, no information was leaked.
That afternoon, after Flossie Wright had slept, she went to the canteen, picked up the porridge made by the squad leader and took it to the hospital.
Becca Reyes had been stabbed in the shoulder and needed to be hospitalized.
Belinda Nichols had been shot through the shoulder during the fight and likewise required hospitalization.
By coincidence, both of them had injured their shoulders, one left and the other right, and they were allocated to the same ward.
"Are you here?"
As soon as she saw someone entering, Becca Reyes, who lay in the bed near the door, waved her unharmed hand at her.
After arriving at the hospital, her blood loss had been replenished, and her wounds were dressed. Now, the effects of the anesthesia on her shoulder hadn’t worn off, and she couldn’t feel the pain there, naturally appearing lively.
Compared to her, Belinda Nichols was much weaker.
She had just finished surgery to remove the bullet lodged in her shoulder, and now she was extremely weak, nowhere near Becca Reyes’s energy.
"Do you have a portion for me?"
Stuart Weston, who sat chatting idly with Becca Reyes, spotted the three servings of porridge in Flossie Wright’s hands and couldn’t help but casually ask.
"No." Flossie Wright replied indifferently and immediately handed him one serving of porridge, "Feed her."
"Roger that!"
Stuart Weston was delighted to accept the mission.
With Becca Reyes present, he couldn’t care less about what he was eating.
Flossie Wright glanced at him, left one serving of porridge on the table, and then took the last one to Belinda Nichols’s bedside.
Stuart Weston watched her, surprised.
Then, looking at the serving of porridge he had, Stuart Weston scratched his head, feeling that Flossie Wright was truly odd.
Saying one thing but feeling another.
He wondered if it was the same in matters of the heart...
His gaze shifted, and suddenly feeling a chill, Stuart Weston wisely stopped thinking about it.
Here, Becca Reyes watched Stuart Weston going to grab the porridge, hesitated for a moment, and then sat up straighter, telling him, "I’ll do it myself."
No sooner had she spoken than Flossie Wright, who was grabbing a spoon, looked over, "Let him feed you."
Becca Reyes blinked, and surprisingly, did not continue to resist.
Since Flossie Wright had said so, she was definitely going to obediently comply.
So, with a word from Flossie Wright, Stuart Weston smoothly took on the task of "feeding," carefully feeding Becca Reyes, all smiles throughout the process, like a kid who had found candy.
Belinda Nichols’s injury was more severe; her right shoulder completely immobilized, it was very inconvenient for her to use one hand to hold the spoon. Flossie Wright naturally assumed the task of feeding her, but lacking prior experience, she scalded Belinda Nichols quite badly the first few times.
Luckily, Belinda Nichols didn’t lose her temper with her and allowed the "clumsy" Flossie Wright to finish feeding her the whole bowl of porridge.
Noticing Flossie Wright had finished feeding, Becca Reyes, who had been paying attention, paused, then told Stuart Weston, who was still feeding her, "Go outside and eat."
Looking at her in bewilderment, Stuart Weston clearly didn’t catch on immediately.
"Take your portion, go outside and eat, then come back in after you’re done," Becca Reyes said slowly, her gaze on him carrying a hint of a threat.
Instantly understanding her hint, Stuart Weston nodded obediently.
Probably they had something to discuss among the three of them.
Being a man, Stuart Weston didn’t feel right intruding on their conversation, so after agreeing, he left the room with his hot serving of porridge.
He even closed the door behind him.
As he left the room, Becca Reyes tilted her head and called to Flossie Wright, who was tidying up the trash.
Stopping her cleanup, Flossie Wright looked down at her.
Pursing her lips, Becca Reyes frowned thoughtfully, and after a while, she looked up seriously and said, "I have something to tell you."
After watching her for two seconds, Flossie Wright looked away and spoke lightly, "We’ll talk after I finish cleaning up."
Becca Reyes obediently nodded.
Taking her time, Flossie Wright finished cleaning up, threw all the garbage into the bin, washed her hands, and then came back.
It was almost five minutes later when Flossie Wright returned to her bedside.
Standing beside, Flossie Wright’s gaze slightly lowered, she asked blandly.
"Calvin Ramos..." Pausing, Becca Reyes’s brow furrowed, and she hesitantly asked, "Um, what’s happening with him?"
"I don’t know."
"When will there be a result?" Becca Reyes continued to ask.
"I don’t know." The answer remained the same.
"Will he..." Becca Reyes lifted her eyes, her expression somewhat awkward.
"Leave?" Flossie Wright completed her question.
"Yeah." Becca Reyes nodded.
From her vantage point, Flossie Wright looked at her and said slowly and emphatically, "He has to leave."
"What?" Becca Reyes was quite surprised.
"Didn’t hear clearly?" Flossie Wright asked back.
Biting her lip, Becca Reyes asked, "Why?"
"Do you think he can stay?" Flossie Wright raised her eyebrows.
"Not really."
Becca Reyes sighed lightly and denied it.
She felt regretful; Calvin Ramos was so capable in every aspect, the Forces should have been most suitable for him. But because of that Daniel Ramos...
Becca Reyes was a bit disheartened but didn’t even know why.
Standing askew, Flossie Wright watched her bowing her head in thought, paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Any more questions?"
The reply came instinctively, and Becca Reyes suddenly looked up.
Raising her eyebrows, Flossie Wright gestured for her to speak.
"Do you think, our killing, is it fair?"
