Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2733

Luna stayed asleep all the way until evening. Even in her sleep, there was a small, satisfied smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

When Andrew looked at her, he thought that she did not look like a major in the military at all. Instead, she looked more like a sweet, innocent high school girl.

He adjusted her arm, pulled the blanket over her, and quietly got up to get dressed before slipping out of the office. When he opened the door, he stepped onto the balcony outside her office and happened to catch the sunset burning red across the sky.

As Andrew stared at the gorgeous evening glow stretching across the horizon, he suddenly felt a wave of peace and contentment wash through him. It felt like, for the first time in a long while, his life was complete.

He had not really rested in weeks. First, he founded Medicine God's Covenant, then he rushed straight to the Advanced Medical Institute, and everything in between had been hectic.

Smiling, Andrew headed downstairs, ready to go home.

Most of the military headquarters staff had already left for the day. Of course, some worked around the clock, but they were not in Luna's office area and were on the other side.

Humming lightly, Andrew walked down the stairs since it was only the third floor. However, the moment he turned the corner, a sweet scent hit him first, and then a silhouette blocked his path.

Andrew was 100% sure she was blocking him on purpose because when he moved left, she moved left; when he moved right, she shifted right.

He sighed helplessly. "Alright, Valerie, what now?"

Valerie's face was frosty as she stared at him. "Why are you here?"

Andrew countered, "Why would I not be here?"

Valerie shot back. "You came to find Luna, didn't you? You two seem to be getting awfully close."

Andrew felt a headache coming on, so he decided to be honest. "We're dating. We're officially together."

Valerie's face turned noticeably pale. A second later, she let out a cold laugh and snapped, "I'm not surprised. You two have been eyeing each other forever. Getting together, even sleeping together, was only a matter of time."

Andrew thought, 'Damn, you're not wrong; we literally just finished.'

Andrew stared at her for a moment, then said quietly, "Whatever."

He turned to leave.

"Andrew! Come back! I still have something to say!" Valerie yelled after him.

However, Andrew ignored her and kept going down the stairs until he disappeared from sight.

Valerie stood alone in the stairwell, staring at the fading streaks of sunset as the colors slowly dimmed. By the time the sky turned completely dark, she had unknowingly stood there for over an hour.

Her tears had already blurred her vision.

"I hate you both!"

With a choked cry, she spun around, ran downstairs, and burst outside. She sprinted across the outer training field of the base, running as if she were fleeing from her own heartbreak, letting the tears spill freely down her face.
