Chapter 185

Quinlyn had just seen someone she recognized from the 901 Military Base–a clerical worker. He was already out of sight, and Quinlyn knew she couldn’t catch up.

She turned her attention back to the group in front of her, who were still visibly shaken and crying. A pang of guilt hit her. “I’m sorry,” Quinlyn said softly. “They were targeted because of me, she thought.

These students had been called into the office to discuss the incident. It was their first time dealing with something like this, and they were clearly terrified. Sitting at the food stall, they had been treated to two plates of dessert to calm their nerves.

“Can you believe this? We got yelled at, and now we’re out of pocket too,” Chester said with a bitter laugh. He noticed Quinlyn slipping money into the drawer and quickly stopped her. “Hey, don’t worry about it. It’s just a few plates of dessert.

I’m more concerned about why the authority is after you. Did they just come here to mess with you? Maybe you should talk to Mr. Ramirez or Bennett about it.”

Quinlyn shook her head. “Different departments. They can’t interfere.”

“Then what are you going to do?” Chester asked, clearly worried.

Quinlyn still put the money in the drawer and helped finish selling the food before closing up the stall. She noticed Chester rubbing his lower back, looking exhausted. “What happened to the money you saved up before?” she asked.

‘He should have had enough saved to hire some help,‘ she thought.

“Oh, that? I donated it all to the orphanage,” Chester replied casually.

Quinlyn blinked in surprise. “Why?”

Chester smiled, “It was dirty money. I thought about it, and if I want to set a good example for Frank, I need to earn a clean living and teach him to be an honest person.” ‘An honest person,‘ he thought.

Quinlyn stared at him, his face glowing in the sunset, sweat dripping but his smile bright. She was silent for a moment before saying softly, “You’re a good dad.”

Chester froze. “Uh, I’m not married yet.” He laughed awkwardly. ‘I’m still a single guy,‘ he thought.
