The Base Commander's fury, his brutality, it wasn't really directed at Zhang Chen.
It was because the appearance of Zhang Chen reminded him of his own incompetence.
It's because he failed to protect his son. The loss of his son dealt a huge blow to his wife, leaving her devastated until her death.
This is the deepest scar in the Base Commander's heart.
In this lifetime, he will never be able to walk out from it.
He could never accept any other girl; no one could replace his wife in his heart.
He feared that if he opened his heart to another girl, his wife would be heartbroken.
With a light crunching sound,
the Base Commander's tense fingers forcibly cracked a corner of the table.
He truly hated himself.
Every time he thought of the past, he wanted to give up everything if it meant bringing his wife back to life, no matter how many people might die.
Zhang Chen blankly stared at the fragments of the table in the Base Commander's right hand, a sour taste filled her heart.
