“I had no clue the cremation urn contained the ashes of our fallen heroes!” Sidonie hastily exclaimed.
Laura pushed past the security personnel blocking her, stepped forward, and raised her voice to say, “I shouted to tell them the cremation urn contained the ashes of our fallen heroes! Why did you urge them to snatch the cremation urn away?”
The color drained from Sidonic’s face instantly, and once those words fell, the soldiers‘ glares at her intensified with anger.
Upon seeing the situation, the executives at Nimbus Air were so infuriated that they felt like swearing at Sidonie.
The woman who usually prided herself on being a strong, independent individual had actually pulled an idiotic move.
The vice president decisively stated, “I believe Ms. Stonehurst is not fit for flight duties right now. We need to immediately assign another co–pilot to take over her responsibilities!”
“Understood!” someone nearby responded, hurriedly dialing a number to contact the potential co–pilot.
Sidonie’s face was deathly pale, her body swaying unsteadily. She might have tumbled to the ground if it hadn’t been for Trent’s support. No! This can’t be happening! If I get suspended, it’ll affect my chances of promotion in the future.
“What should I do? I can’t lose my job, Trent. Please help me out!” Sidonie clung to Trent as if grasping at her lifeline.
He gazed at Sidonie, who, once radiant and proud, had a pale face at that moment, her eyes filled with
resentment.
Trent was filled with sympathy and couldn’t help but step forward. He then said to Quinn, “Maybe you could forgive Sidonie just this once. If she really gets grounded, it will have a huge impact on her. Besides, you’ve already injured her and vented your frustrations…”
Dominic looked at Trent with displeasure. “What more do you have to say? Quinn has already divorced you!”
“I-”
Before Trent could finish his sentence, Quinn had already cut him off by saying, “Trent, I was cornered and harassed just now, and you didn’t utter a single word to defend me. Yet, now that Sidonie is in trouble, you’re standing up for her. I’ve said it before. You have no right to say such words to me!”
“Quinn, for the sake of the three years we’ve spent as husband and wife, I beg you to forgive Sidonie just this once!” Trent uttered through gritted teeth.
He knew that Sidonie was in the wrong, but no matter what, Sidonie was his savior. Regardless of the circumstances, he was indebted to her and would stand by her side.
“Haha!” Quinn suddenly burst into laughter, a hint of tears shimmering in her eyes. Her lingering regrets for Trent were finally put to rest there and then. “If I hadn’t saved you from the river after you’d been

stabbed eight times, would you even be alive to say these things to me now? Trent, you’re such a jerk!”

“What? What did you just say? What do you mean you saved me from the river after I was stabbed eight times?” Trent’s eyes narrowed sharply as he stared blankly at Quinn. Sidonie was clearly the one who saved me!
However, Quinn didn’t seem interested in paying him any attention.
Just as Trent was about to close in on Quinn, Sidonie suddenly grabbed hold of him, preventing him from taking another step forward.
Trent paused in his steps, turning to look at Sidonie. He saw her head bowed, making it impossible to discern her expression.
However, her hands were constantly trembling.
The time had come for boarding. Dominic patted Quinn on the shoulder and said, “All right. It’s time to get on the plane. Once you reach Yarburn, don’t forget to have your injuries checked at the hospital. Don’t underestimate minor injuries just because you’re in good shape.”
“Okay!” said Quinn.
Dominic suddenly stood tall and gave Quinn a military salute. “Thank you for escorting our fallen heroes, Montague Bridger and Arlene Gurney, home!”
Following behind Dominic, other military officers and soldiers who went to see Quinn off also gave her a salute in unison. Together, they shouted, “Our fallen heroes are heading home!”
A solemn and serious voice echoed throughout the departure lounge.
Everyone else in the departure lounge was also quietly observing that solemn scene at that moment.
Quinn’s eyes were red and misty, clouded with unshed tears. Are Mom and Dad seeing this? Their comrades haven’t forgotten them! They’ve come to bid them farewell!
Cradling her parents‘ cremation urn in her arms, she bowed deeply three times toward Dominic and the soldiers who had gone there to bid her farewell. Only then did she turn around and walk toward the boarding gate.
She was bringing Montague and Arlene home.
As for Trent, he was staring intensely at Quinn’s retreating figure, his mind in utter disarray.
He had so many questions he wanted to ask Quinn.
Why did she claim to be my savior? I never told her about the time I was stabbed eight times and fell into the river. How could she possibly know about that? Trent wanted answers.
Watching as Quinn disappeared into the boarding gate, all Trent could do was press his lips together tightly.
He was determined to figure it out and uncover everything.
As Sidonie watched Quinn’s retreating figure, a wave of fear swept over her. What’s going on? Could Quinn

really be Trent’s savior? How could that be?
Back then, she didn’t actually save Trent. She merely witnessed him being rescued and brought to the riverside. It was Trent who believed she was his savior, and she simply went along with it.
