Niccole looked hesitantly at George, because it was very likely that George would refuse her request. But she really needed a man to help her, and George seemed like a good man who could help her.

Niccole already knew a lot about George, because Alexa often told her about him. So she believed that George was a good and reliable man.

"If you need anything, just say so. I want to go back to see Alexa," said George.

George was about to stand up, but Niccole immediately stopped him from leaving.

"Wait a minute, I want to talk to you about something important and ask for your help," said Niccole, looking a little nervous.

George smiled at Niccole, then sat back down.

"Okay. Tell me what you really want. I will definitely help you," replied George.

"But before that, can I ask you a question? Do you have a wife or girlfriend?" asked Niccole, lowering her head.

Niccole felt really awkward in this situation, but she had to put her pride aside in order to get George's help.

George looked at Niccole with an unreadable expression, but he answered her question, saying that he was still single and didn't have a girlfriend.

"Really? If that's the case, can you help me? I want you to marry me," Niccole said nervously.

George was, of course, surprised by Niccole's request, and he also felt reluctant. It was fine if Niccole asked for any amount of money she wanted, but why did her request have to be marriage?

"I know it's very unreasonable and sudden. You might also be annoyed by my request, but that's all I need. I don't need anything else," Niccole said with a pleading look.

George sighed. He couldn't immediately agree to Niccole's request, even though she had saved Alexa's life.

"Your request is too much for me. We've only just met. I do owe you a debt of gratitude, but I don't think I can marry you," replied George.

Niccole looked sad, but she didn't want to give up. She then knelt at George's feet, begging him to help her.

"My father arranged my marriage. Those people were my father's subordinates. I don't want to marry the man my father chose for me because he is evil and cunning. He is cruel and already has three wives," explained Niccole.

"I just need the status of being married. If my father knows I'm married, he won't force me," she continued.

"Get up, don't be like this." George helped Niccole back into her seat.

Even though this place was quiet, if anyone saw them, there would be misunderstandings.

George wanted to say something to Niccole, but his cell phone rang. He immediately answered the call.

"Okay. I'll be right there," George looked happy, he immediately stood up when he heard the news.

"Is there a problem?" asked Niccole with a worried look on her face.

"Alexa is awake, we'll talk about it later. I want to see Alexa first," replied George.

George then immediately left Niccole. Niccole was also happy, and she followed George to see Alexa.

"Alexa," George immediately hugged Alexa. It still felt like a dream that he could hug his younger sister again.

"Geo. I thought we would never meet again, but it turns out God is still good and has brought us back together," Alexa whispered.

George released his embrace, then smiled as he kissed Alexa's forehead. "I still can't believe we finally met again. I almost went crazy when I heard about your death."

"Do you know how Aunt Emeli is? I still think about Aunt Emeli, she sacrificed so much for me," Alexa asked, holding back her tears.

George gently stroked Alexa's head, telling her that Aunt Emeli was safe but still in critical condition.

"Can I see Aunt Emeli?" Alexa asked pleadingly.

"I'll definitely take you to see Aunt Emeli, but right now you need to focus on getting better first," replied George, and Alexa nodded in agreement.

George held Alexa's hand, his face filled with guilt.

"I'm sorry, Alexa. If only I hadn't ignored your phone call, you wouldn't be like this and we would never have been separated. It's all my fault for not being able to protect you," said George.

"Geo, stop blaming yourself. It's their fault for trying to take our lives!" Alexa snapped.

"Yes, you're right. I promise I'll address all your pain," George replied firmly.

Alexa nodded her head, looking at Niccole who was still standing silently beside Liam.

"Niccole, don't you miss me? You're still family even though I've met my family," said Alexa with teary eyes.

Niccole was very touched, she immediately hugged Alexa tightly.

George looked at the two of them. Alexa looked happy. It seemed that Niccole had indeed given Alexa sincere love all this time.

"Geo. I don't want to be separated from Niccole. Can we take her with us and make her part of our family? There are many bad people who want to hurt Niccole," said Alexa with a pleading look.

Niccole just lowered her head, ready for George to reject her.

"Alright. If she wants to come with us," George replied.

Alexa looked happy because she wouldn't have to part with Niccole after all.

Niccole looked at George with a surprised expression. "Are you really going to accept me?" she asked nervously.

"I just don't want to separate the two of you," replied George.

Niccole smiled slightly, that alone made her happy because George accepted her as family. As for marriage, she would not force George's decision.

"Geo, I'm curious. What exactly do you do for a living? I couldn't reach you. And you haven't come home for years," Alexa asked with a curious look on her face.

"I'm one of the commanding officers in the American army," George replied with an awkward smile.

Liam, who heard this, looked stunned. His leader said he was a soldier? Why didn't he tell his sister the truth, that he was actually a great warlord?

George stared intently at Liam, so that Liam would remain silent. Liam could only obey his superior's wishes.

"No wonder you were so hard to reach, but I'm proud of you. You're great for being a soldier of such a powerful warlord," said Alexa, hugging George tightly, which was only returned with a slight smile from George.

"He's a soldier, from the strongest warlord, no wonder he looks so dashing. I'm even more convinced that he can help me," Niccole thought to herself.

"I'd better keep my identity a secret for now. I don't fully know who Niccole really is, and why Niccole asked me to marry her," George muttered to himself as he looked at Niccole.

    The orphanage director bowed his head. It wasn’t the first time George had helped this orphanage; he was practically a major donor there, providing money, food, clothing, and other supplies almost every month. Usually, when George was very busy, Gavi or Liam would take over the task of delivering aid to the orphanage.Only this time had George assigned the task to an ordinary subordinate—without his supervision.“Let’s investigate this matter together; I will take full responsibility. Whether this is my fault or not, I will still help the victims,” George said firmly.Actually, George had already suspected this problem would inevitably arise; he had intentionally made sure the bald man focused solely on the fact that he was buying a lot of food for the orphanage, without realizing that he had been aiding a village located in that damned president’s territory.“Alright. Let’s investigate this together. I’ll gather some of the staff who weren’t poisoned so they can provide an explanatio

    The village chief and several villagers immediately approached George with worried expressions.“Commander, do you have an urgent matter? You’re free to leave. It seems many villagers here have already recovered, and conditions here are much better now. Don’t let that man tarnish your reputation if you stay here,” said the village chief.George gave a faint smile, as the village chief here was very understanding and wise. He was quite impressed with the leader of this village.“Thank you. But it seems only my assistant and I will be leaving. The rest of the team has been assigned to stay here, as many villagers are still sick and the situation isn’t yet stable,” replied George.“Thank you, Commander. You’re still concerned about this village, even though you have issues of your own to handle,” said the village chief’s wife.“It’s fine. They just want to tarnish my reputation; it’s not a big deal. They don’t have strong evidence to bring me down,” said George.George still looked very

    George turned off his phone to focus more on handling the village’s issues. He certainly couldn’t resolve them all at once, but he would ensure that each problem was resolved one by one.That damn president sent a message. Saying that his reputation was about to be ruined, but George chose not to respond. He already knew the direction of that bald man’s devious plan.“He’s completely unfit to be president. Just because I didn’t bow to his rules, he’s so eager to destroy me,” George thought to himself with a faint smile. “We’ll see if he’s really capable or not.”They had arrived at the village, where many residents’ conditions were worsening. Upon seeing the three private jets, they looked overjoyed. With enthusiasm, the villagers immediately rushed toward the jets.Fortunately, the village area was accessible to their private jets.George immediately ordered the medical staff to treat the sick villagers and instructed his men to distribute food and clean water to the residents.“Than

    George saw Liam, who was already in the living room chatting with Alexa and Niccole.“Liam, have you been waiting long?” George asked as he sat down next to Alexa.“Not too long, but it looks like we need to leave soon because there’s a little problem,” Liam replied.“Another problem?” George asked.Liam gave George a signal to check his phone. George understood the signal Liam had given him.“It doesn’t seem like a big problem, but we still need to leave right away, before it turns into a big one,” Liam replied.“Alright, I understand.”George took out his phone and read Liam’s message carefully. However, he tried to stay calm since Alexa and Niccole were still there.He instructed Gavi to carry out his plan. They must not know that the food and clean water were intended for that village. The two spies had to be fed false information.“Geo, is there another problem?” Alexa asked with a worried expression."It’s okay, Alexa. It’s still about that village suffering from drought—we have

    George gave a faint smile; he had now arrived at his rental home. He couldn’t wait to see Alexa.George reached out to knock on the door, and shortly afterward, it opened.“Geo,” Niccole whispered.Niccole looked at George with concern, especially since he looked a complete mess. His face was a little pale and dirty, because George hadn’t had time to shower or change his clothes.“Are you okay?” Niccole asked, her face full of concern.“I’m fine. I just haven’t showered in a few days, so I look a mess. I came straight home after my shift. I’ve missed Alexa—where is she?”Just as Niccole was about to answer, George spotted Alexa. He kept watching Alexa, who was now able to walk normally, without needing a wheelchair anymore.His heart ached, because he hadn’t been able to be there for Alexa’s recovery process.“Alexa!” George called out.Alexa, hearing her name, immediately turned toward George; she was very surprised to see him already at home.Alexa ran straight over and hugged Georg

    Liam felt like it had been more than two hours, but he hesitated to wake George, especially since his boss looked like he was sleeping soundly, exhausted as he was.“I’d better wait until the commander wakes up on his own,” Liam muttered, scratching his head even though it wasn’t itchy.George opened his eyes. He looked at Liam with a faint smile. “You were hesitant to wake me up? Even though I’ve told you, for now, consider me a friend, not your boss.”George felt much better, even though he hadn’t completely shaken off his fatigue.He’d had more than enough rest. It was time to get back to the fight; many citizens were counting on him, and were confident that he and his team could resolve their problems.“Even though you said that, I’m still hesitant and can’t bring myself to wake you up. Your fatigue only increased because you helped me find food. You walked all the way from that forest just to come back and see me,” Liam replied with a sad expression.“Don’t worry about it. No mat
