Chapter 764: Leave Without Saying Goodbye

Chapter 764: Leave Without Saying Goodbye


After hearing the sound of Austin sleeping soundly, Gilbert opened his eyes. He slowly got off the bed, turned around to look at the sleeping Austin, and resolutely left the room.


Walking to the corridor of the guest room, Gilbert walked to the room where Devitt and the others were.


After hearing the voices inside, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.


When Devitt and the others heard the knocking, they immediately stopped talking. Abel picked up the weapon beside the bed and carefully approached the door.


Devitt and Claremont also got off the bed and followed behind Abel, waiting for him.


"Who is it?" Abel asked in a low voice.


"Gilbert." a slender voice came through the door.


Devitt frowned strangely, as if he could not understand why Gilbert would come looking for them at this time.


The three of them looked at each other, and Abel slowly opened the door. Gilbert immediately rushed in from outside the door. He was not even half as tall as Abel. At this time, he looked even more agile and light-footed.


"I"m about to leave. I"m here to say goodbye to you." Gilbert said calmly as he sat down on a chair in the room.


"Now?" Devitt looked at the dark sky outside the window and asked in puzzlement.


"Yes." Gilbert nodded and said, "Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time."


Claremont said hesitantly, "During these few days, Austin was the one who take care of you the most. Did you say goodbye to him?"


"No." Gilbert shook his head dejectedly and said, "I"m worried that I won"t be able to bear to leave."


Seeing that Abel was hesitant to speak, Devitt gestured for him to keep quiet.


"The reason I came to look for you this time is also for Austin." Gilbert took a sip of tea and continued, "I hope that you can take good care of him. You promised me before, so you won"t go back on your word, right?"


"Of course." Devitt nodded. "Besides, Austin is one of our soldiers. It"s our responsibility to take care of him."


"Well, that"s good." Gilbert stood up and said, "Goodbye."


In the end, Claremont couldn"t help but ask, "Why did you leave in such a hurry? Don"t you have time to say goodbye?"


"No." Gilbert raised the corner of his mouth and said with a pale smile, "Now the remaining time can only be used on the road to live or die."


When the three adults heard this, their faces showed a trace of reluctance.


"I hope you can succeed." Abel said.


"Thank you." Gilbert bent down slightly and said, "If I die, please don"t tell Austin."


After saying this, Gilbert turned around and left without any hesitation.


He turned over the railing of the corridor and jumped to the lobby on the first floor. The whole process was silent.


Devitt and the other two stood in the corridor and watched Gilbert"s back as he broke out of the door.


Claremont sighed and said, "He"s just a child, but he acts like he"s a young man. I really don"t know who is taking care of whom between him and Austin."


"They take care of each other." Devitt replied softly. "Their feelings go both ways."


The next morning, the people who stayed in the hotel were woken up by the hotel owner"s screams.


"My door! Who broke my door?!" the hotel owner"s face turned green.


Abel, who had not woken up, directly got out of bed and walked to the corridor on the second floor. he shouted downstairs, "Boss, I"m sorry. My brother was too drunk, so he knocked down your precious door. When we pay the bill later, I"ll compensate you."


The hotel owner looked at Abel"s firm muscles, and he frowned at Abel, but he did not shout anymore.


Just when Abel thought that he could finally have some peace and quiet, and go back to sleep for a while more...


Austin ran from the room to his front and shouted, "Captain Abel, Gilbert, he..."


Abel sighed in his heart. He had forgotten about this.


"He went home." Abel waved his hand and said.


"What?" Austin said in disbelief, "Why do you all know, but I..."


"Our destination is different from his. Of course, we have to part here," Abel said. "I guess his family was in a hurry to call him back, so he left early in the morning."


"I see..." Austin suddenly lost his spirit.


He originally wanted to take Gilbert to the teleportation array, but when he woke up this morning, Gilbert was nowhere to be seen.


Abel looked at Austin"s gloomy expression and could not help but comfort him. "Go back and sleep for a while more. Cheer up. We are going to begin our mission today."


"Yes," Austin replied.


Abel patted his shoulder and returned to his room. Looking at Devitt and Claremont who had fallen asleep again, Abel sighed and lay on his bed to rest.


Austin returned to his room and laid on his bed according to Abel"s instructions.


When the soldiers who had been noisy earlier saw the expression on Abel"s face, they choked on their words and didn"t intend to speak again.


"Wu, Wu..." after a while, Austin wrapped himself in the quilt and whimpered.


The others also became sad. They looked at each other and walked out of the bed. They took their clothes, gently closed the door, and left.


After everyone washed up, it was time for breakfast.


After hearing what Abel said about what happened this morning, Devitt looked at the table where Austin and the others were sitting, but he did not see Austin. He already understood what happened.


Because he was worried about Austin"s health, Devitt picked up a breakfast and walked to the guest room on the second floor.


"Guest, food and drinks cannot be brought to the guest room." a waiter stopped Devitt and said.


"I"m sorry, one of my comrades is not feeling well. I"ll go and see him." Devitt explained to the waiter with a smile.


The waiter nodded hesitantly and let him pa.s.s.


"Thank you." Devitt said.


He knocked on the door of the room where Austin was, and Devitt called out softly, "Austin, are you there?"


"Yes," Austin"s voice came from inside.


"Can I come in?" Devitt asked politely again.


"... Yes." Austin hesitated for a moment and replied.


Devitt took the tray and walked in. When he saw Austin with red eyes, he handed the food to him. He said gently, "Eat something first."
