Because she had previously ruled out the possibility of Glenn Hutchinson, she never considered it.
If Glenn Hutchinson had only joined the Forces seven years ago, he would need to spend some time there before joining Aaron Doom.
Yet, how could she forget that with Glenn Hutchinson’s capabilities, it wasn’t impossible for him to be specially recruited.
So, at that time, she thought there must be another reason, one she couldn’t figure out.
Later, after becoming official members, their relationship seemed established, yet Glenn Hutchinson’s meticulous care for her indeed made Flossie Wright somewhat uncomfortable in certain aspects.
This kindness wasn’t merely simple affection; it contained other factors.
Now she understood.
For example, guilt.
For example, compensation.
If her former self couldn’t understand these bizarre phenomena, then now, she ought to fully grasp them.
Because the person in front of her, the one who has been kind to her in every possible way, was one of those who annihilated her entire family.
Thus, he had no choice but to do so.
The two face each other, continuing their standoff.
After a while, hearing the evacuation reports through the earpiece, Flossie Wright stared at Glenn Hutchinson, her voice cold as if devoid of emotion, "Have nothing to say?"
"I’m sorry."
Glenn Hutchinson slightly lowered his head, those three words weighed immeasurably heavy on him.
The three words slipped from her lips lightly, yet a mocking smile curved at the corners of her mouth.
Glenn Hutchinson remained rooted in place, speechless.
He had once hesitated about whether to be honest with Flossie Wright.
But he knew the extent of the harm that incident had caused Erina Taylor, turning her life into one of constant turmoil and survival on the edge.
She could live freely and confidently, effortlessly handling everything, but he also knew that once something happens, it irreversibly occurs, and even the coldest person cannot remain indifferent to such trauma.
Especially someone like Flossie Wright, whom he knew to be so gentle and kind.
Back then, when Flossie Wright was hospitalized, he had ruthlessly thought of making her leave, even forcibly ordered her away, spending those days contemplating and sacrificing over and over, but when he saw Flossie Wright again, his firm decision suddenly wavered.
He couldn’t let go of her.
So, he made a cruel decision.
To hide this matter and commit a more brutal act to someone he had once hurt.
If possible, he wished Flossie Wright would never find out.
At this moment, she knew.
To continue hiding it, he was unwilling, and moreover, afraid.
For the first time in his life, he felt such panic in front of someone.
Through the earpiece came news of the last person’s evacuation.

Many voices called out to them repeatedly, sound filled with anxiety.
Thus, Flossie Wright withdrew her gaze, slightly turned her body, and walked past Glenn Hutchinson toward the door.
As she passed by Glenn Hutchinson, he turned his head to look at her, wanting to grab her wrist, but the moment Flossie Wright was touched, she noticeably moved to the side, avoiding his touch.
Her steps unchanged, Flossie Wright walked straight ahead, never looking back until she was out the door.
Under the Night Vision Goggles, the scenery appeared so abnormal.
Yet, Flossie Wright’s resolute departing silhouette was sharp and clear, like a sword piercing the heart.
Relentless, with all her might.
