Thinking and thinking, she eventually fell asleep.
In fact, Flossie’s way of thinking wasn’t wrong, but she felt relieved too early.
When Belinda was asleep, not only did she not compete for the quilt, she completely tossed the quilt to Flossie.
Just as well, Flossie had slept a lot during the day, so she was more alert at night. Any slight movement from Belinda would wake Flossie up, although there were several times she woke up from the heat.
That night, Flossie constantly got up to cover Belinda with the quilt, no less than ten times, and eventually let Belinda sleep hugging her.
The next day.
When Flossie awoke, Belinda was nowhere to be seen.
Rubbing her forehead, Flossie looked at the clock— it was not yet six.
She simply got up, dressed, and went to the Training Ground.
After three days of stakeout training, Joshua Bailey relaxed a bit, allowing her and Jessie Grain to do some routine exercises. Although the training was quite intense, it was much better than the monotonous waiting.
Until the afternoon training ended, Flossie finally thought of Cassie Ferguson’s matter.
At that moment, she didn’t even eat, directly asked Joshua Bailey where Glenn Hutchinson was, and then went straight to Glenn Hutchinson’s Office.
"What’s up?"
Upon seeing Flossie enter, Glenn Hutchinson raised his eyebrows curiously.
It was rare for Flossie to actively seek him out.
"Has Cassie’s result come out yet?" Going straight over, Flossie sat down in the chair opposite his desk.
"Just came out."
Glenn Hutchinson’s expression was rather disappointed.
"How is it?" Flossie asked.
"Death penalty, execution at the end of the month."
Suppressing his emotions, Glenn Hutchinson pronounced each word carefully.
"Why?" Raising her eyebrows, Flossie showed a bit of surprise.
"She killed someone in prison." Speaking of this, Glenn Hutchinson’s tone slightly deepened.
Pausing for a moment, Flossie concealed the hint of surprise in her eyes.
"How did she kill?"
Flossie continued to ask.
"She got into a conflict, and with her skills, she beat the person to death before the prison guard arrived." Glenn Hutchinson’s voice grew even deeper.
Perhaps, agreeing to Cassie being sent in for selection was his biggest mistake in this selection process.
Because of Cassie, two families were destroyed.
Such guilt, although would not fall on Glenn Hutchinson, the resentment and hatred from those two families were undeniable.
The most unacceptable part of the whole affair was that the harm to those who weren’t deprived of citizenship came from people who walked out from their Forces.
After hearing Glenn Hutchinson’s explanation, Flossie’s brow slightly furrowed, and she fell into silence.
Many things are unequal. Flossie herself has killed people, believing that in certain circumstances, inequality ironically allows those whose hands are stained with blood to remain calm.
No one has the right to harm others.
This country, this society, under many constraints, life is still equal.
Therefore, Flossie, when facing provocations, often chooses to ignore them or resolve them in legitimate ways.
The most meaningless thing in this world is unprovoked targeting and verbal provocations.
No one granted Cassie the right to kill Comrades or inmates, so her outcome is inevitable.
Even though her one life couldn’t compensate for it all.
After a while, she looked up, "Are you free tonight?"
Glenn Hutchinson raised his eyes to look at her, "I am."
