Chapter 261 A Gathering of Old Friends

As the old commander spoke, emotion welled up in his eyes.

Whether he was looking back on old times or filled with profound regret, Milly got the impression that he genuinely missed his old friend.

“For years, I’ve been on a quest to find her, desperate to tell her about our victory, yet she’s been nowhere to be found.

“She gave me this Eagle Medal because she was worried about forgetting. She left it with me as a sign, a hint for the day she’d return, and a hope for my safety. I’ve kept this to myself, never sharing its real importance with anyone. It seems like fate that you brought it up today.”

Milly’s heart raced.

Despite never seeing the medal, she was inexplicably sure it was the Eagle Medal. The online information she found mentioned the team, not the medal.

It felt as though…

The knowledge had subtly planted itself in her mind.

But why she felt so sure, she couldn’t quite articulate.

Milly tried to speak, “Old Mr. Scathings, I …”

But Thomas interrupted, “My dear, maybe this is meant to be. I’m leaving you with this medal, hoping destiny guides you to her.”

He handed her the medal.

It looked like an ordinary piece of iron but felt smooth from years of handling, with warmth as if still holding a human touch, making Milly’s palm tingle.

Milly’s hand shook. The medal meant the world to Thomas. What was going on? Despite feeling it was meant for her, she questioned accepting it.

“Old Mr. Scathings, this medal is too meaningful. I can’t take it. I’m a regular person and can’t hold onto such an h ur. If you really miss your friend, look for her yourself.”
