‘Yes, General?’ Dylan turned around. ‘Let me ask you, do you really like that doctor Callie?’ Dylan tensed. ‘Sir, may I know why?’ ‘You’ll know soon enough anyway,’ Carl said. ‘She got back together with Elias.’ ‘Oh.’ Dylan’s heart sank. This meant Callie and Elias’s facade had already been exposed. What happened after he left the camp? Carefully, he kept his voice even. ‘So that’s what it is. Sir, are you worried that I’ll get hurt because of love?’ ‘Won’t you?’ ‘Sir, I remember telling you that I was just playing with Callie,’ Dylan said nonchalantly. ‘I was just curious about the kind of woman Elias would fall in love with. I’ve never taken that girl seriously anyway.’ ‘Well, it’s a good thing you are not affected.’ Carl seemed satisfied with his answer. He had high hopes for Dylan, partly because he would soon become his son-in-law, but mostly because he’d chosen Dylan to be his successor. As Dylan left the general’s office, he did have a woman on his mind. But it wasn’t Callie. **
