When Flossie Wright and Glenn Hutchinson returned, she happened to be in the kitchen to witness the interactions between the two. Given Glenn Hutchinson’s high rank, he wouldn’t typically be seen prepping food, so seeing him being attentive, even in such mundane activities like getting bowls and tableware, stood out. He prepared everything, only leaving Flossie to sit down and eat.
The small details showed Glenn as a gentleman with manners, but the simple fact that Flossie Wright and Glenn Hutchinson returned together said it all.
The relationship between them was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
After taking a deep breath, Mia Lawson, already had guessed what was going on. Stabilizing her emotions, she continued, "Speak honestly, I can handle it."
After a pause, Neal Thompson hesitated for a moment before truthfully recounting what had happened, careful enough not to mention the speculations.
"Don’t lose hope; it looks complicated between them, so let’s wait and see." Neal said, trying to console her, "Even if something is really happening between them, don’t take it to heart. If Glenn isn’t available, there still plenty of others. It’s tough to find a frog with three legs, but a two-legged man in Base? Not so hard."
Mia didn’t respond to Neal’s words but sighed softly.
Of course, there was no shortage of two-legged men in Base. In a place where women were scarce, as long as you weren’t startlingly unattractive, you’d have suitors, especially for someone like Mia, who was attractive and from a good background. Unfortunately, it was hard to find another Glenn Hutchinson in the entire base.
If she really gave up on Glenn Hutchinson, anyone she’d meet in the future would inevitably be compared to him. Who could guarantee that she would meet someone like him in the future, and if she did, who could guarantee that the same situation wouldn’t repeat itself?
Outstanding people always have many suitors, and they are often surrounded by similarly outstanding people.
After a long while, Neal Thompson suddenly realized something and asked with surprise, "So, you’re really set on him?"
"You think I’m joking?"
Mia replied somewhat sarcastically, implicitly confirming Neal’s words.
"Well, in that case," Neal sighed, "if you need any help, just let me know."
In fact, Neal Thompson could not understand Mia’s thoughts and decisions. She had never been as outstanding as Mia, always appearing older than she was. And because of her role in the cooking class, her figure had grown wider in the past two years. Due to her temper, not many chased after her, and she was still single.
Maybe she understood this, that someone like Glenn Hutchinson was beyond her reach. From Neal’s point of view, even an excellent person like Mia was not suited for Glenn Hutchinson, let alone Flossie Wright.
However, regardless of everything, she leaned more towards siding with her best friend, ready to help as much as she could.
As the night became darker, the atmosphere within the hospital grew more quiet and desolate with slow gusts of wind.
In the hospital room, Flossie sat by Janice Wood’s bedside, feeding her. Janice couldn’t sit up, and everything Flossie was feeding her was in liquid form, so Flossie had to expend a great deal of energy ensuring that the rice soup didn’t spill onto the pillow, leaving her with no time for conversation.
Janice was focusing on her meal. Despite the intense pain she was in, she wasn’t focusing on whether she was hungry or enjoying the food.
