Chapter 718

The car had been on the road for solid two hours before it finally pulled up at the military compound.

The place was crawling with security, with guards posted every five steps.

Steve rolled down his window, showing his face before he was allowed in.

lan had initially planned to leave as soon as Steve got out of the car, but Steve piped up, “Come and chill in my office for a bit.”

He didn’t really have a choice, so he followed Steve out of the car.

They made their way through the building to Steve’s office.

Surprisingly, there was a family photo on Steve’s desk, even Selena was included in it. The family of four looked quite happy together.

lan didn’t quite remember the occasion when it was clicked, so he picked up the frame to take a closer look.

Seeing lan’s interest, Steve, secretly thrilled, immediately pulled out a photo album.

“This album contains pictures of you from when you were a kid. These are from your years in the army, this one is from when you got a medal, and here’s you getting whipped by your grandfather. You were kneeling in the cold, about to pass out.”

lan didn’t remember much, but seeing the picture of himself kneeling, something flickered in his eyes.

Memories related to his time in the army started to come back, but that was it.

Steve didn’t dare disturb him, he sat in his office chair, watching lan slowly flip through the album.

When he saw Eric, lan’s fingers stopped.
