Why it never ends

Chapter 60 One's Fate

A quarter of an hour later, Robert returned to his office alone.

He stepped into the door as usual, took a few steps with his feet on the carpet at the door, and then stopped - there was already a person sitting in his place.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Secretary-General."

A young man's voice came. This is a typical young man's voice. His voice range is high, and occasionally he will have a slightly suppressed nasal voice when he speaks in a low voice.

"Avinash?" Robert called out the name in a low voice.

The soft chair twisted and turned around, and the young man on the chair waved to Robert.

By blood, Avinash belongs to District [-].He has the brown skin and slightly curly black hair common to people in District [-].His eye sockets are deep and his eyes are bright. Those light green pupils like grape stones are just like the first impression of him - warm and clear.

Robert was not surprised to see Avinash himself at this moment. It was he who personally gave the young man an ultimatum last night: If he did not show up before six o'clock today, then the employment contract he had signed privately with the coalition government of the third district The agreement is immediately void.

"Tomorrow afternoon, there will be a press conference here." Robert cut straight to the point, "We need you to attend and speak—as a representative of the first mercury needle task force in Tanyi City, it's time to announce our plan."

"Forgive me," Avinash said calmly, "Didn't it be agreed before, when will you bring that newcomer, when will I take over the task force... I don't like dealing with the media."

Although it is not the first time to talk with Avinash, the other party's straightforward and unreasonable attitude still aroused Robert's secret annoyance, he narrowed his slender eyes, "If I insist on you attending ?”

"Then I need a letter from all the members of the Third District Council." Avinash raised his head, "Although the task force obviously belongs to Tan Yi...but it's better for you to follow the rules."

Robert paced slowly in the spacious room along the edge of the office, his eyes hardly leaving Avinash on the chair.

"Chiba Masaki came here today." Robert said suddenly, "She also mentioned you."

"I know, I saw her car... what did she mention about me?"

"She asked about the conditions that the third district gave you." Robert paused, his eyes looked suspicious, "How did she know about this, Avinash?"

Avinash shook his head lightly and smiled, "Seriously, Mr. Secretary-General, you either underestimated AHgAs's intelligence system, or underestimated Qianye's influence within AHgAs..." He looked up at Robert, "It's not surprising that she knows these things."

"Didn't one of us reveal it to her?"

Avinash tilted his head slightly towards his shoulder, "You doubt me?"

Robert sternly made no reply.Avinash's frivolous smile at this moment had already irritated him, but he restrained himself and just raised his jaw mockingly.

"I just want to know, is it related to Chiba that you have repeatedly blocked the mission of the task force?"

"Yes." Avinash replied.

"Did you take the initiative, or did she coerce you?"

"It's hard to answer, Mr. Secretary General," said Avinash, his eyes downcast and half-closed under long lashes.In silence, he picked up a quill pen on Robert's desk, and stroked the loose and soft feathers on it expressionlessly, "Do you believe in fate?"

"What do you mean?"

"If you are here for the little girl from the monastery, you don't need to be so angry—as long as you really take her out of the base, I will immediately take over the task force."

Robert was extremely annoyed, his eyebrows were tightly knit together, and he said every word, "After all, you still don't believe that we can bring people out——with your attitude, how can we cooperate?"

"All cooperation must be based on the division of labor. After you complete your part, I will complete mine." Avinash said, getting up from his chair and standing up, "I am here to remind you today, pay attention boundary."

The two faced each other silently, then Avinash bowed and walked towards the gate.

"Wait!" Robert yelled at Avinash's back, "What do you mean by fate...?"

"It's just an experience." Avinash said with a smile, "Chiba Masaki's fate is to drag everyone close to her to misfortune, whether it is her friends, her lovers, or her enemies.

"This is my advice to you: don't be friends with such a person, but don't be enemies with her."

Avinash didn't stop, he opened the door and turned around, "Take care."

The door slammed shut, and Robert stood alone in his office, suddenly feeling a shiver.

……

……

On the morning of the last day of discharge from the hospital, Hesta sat quietly on the bed as usual and waited for the nurse to come to make rounds.

She had fully healed from her injuries, at a speed she couldn't even comprehend.

Since a few days ago, her bedside has been piled up with all kinds of flowers. Most of the bouquets contained small cards with blessings written on them. Hesta didn't recognize any of the signed names.

These bouquets continued one after another. Every evening, the nurse would help clear a batch, and new flowers would be delivered the next day.

There were footsteps outside the door, and Hesta put down the book and looked at the door.

"Jane?" The doctor and the nurse pushed the door together, "How are you feeling today?"

Hesta nodded.

The nurse smiled and placed a stack of cards of different sizes on Hesta's bedside. Judging from the materials and patterns of the cards, they should also be blessing cards sandwiched in flowers.

"Too many flowers were sent today, and I couldn't accept them at all." The nurse sorted out the cards with a smile, "Congratulations, you will be leaving the base tomorrow."

"You mean to be discharged from the hospital?"

The doctor and the nurse looked at each other, "...Miss Chiba didn't tell you? The base has agreed to the request of the city hall and will let you return to the citizens to live the life of ordinary people. The press conference was held a few days ago, Just wait for you to recover and be discharged from the hospital."

Hesta gave a soft "Oh", and Qianye really didn't tell her.

But since Miss Chiba didn't say anything, it means that this matter is not important.

On this day, she accepted the doctor's inquiry and examination as usual, and then sat quietly on the bed and waited.

The hands of the clock slowly turned from seven to nine, and finally there was another knock on the door outside the ward.

Hesta raised his head, "Please come in."

The young nurse leaned in half her body, "Hersta, you have a friend who came to see you, and he said that you wanted him to come at this time... Is there such a thing?"

"Yes." Hesta nodded.

The corner of the nurse's mouth sank slightly, "Now is not the time to visit the hospital, let's not take it as an example, okay?"

Hesta smiled, "Thank you."

The nurse also smiled, "He's at the nurse's desk."

After the nurse left, Hesta changed her clothes—it was a suede jacket that Chiba had left her, and the back hem of the clothes fell loosely, blocking the two pistols that Hesta had pinned to her waist.

She walked to the nurse's desk, and at the end of the road, Sean was already waiting there.
