Chapter 170 He Has Been Transferred Away

The taxi drove for nearly five hours on the road. Under Sarah's guidance, finally, it stopped in front of Christian's

army gate.

Sarah paid the fare and walked to the on-call room at the door. The soldiers standing guard did not know who she

was, so they stopped her at the main door.

After Sarah said Christian's name, the soldier on duty picked up the phone and called the office. After a moment, he

told Sarah that Military Commander Cooper was not in the army. And because Christian's phone was not connected,

he could not let her in.

Sarah became anxious when she heard that.

"Comrade, I am really Military Commander Cooper's wife. Please let me in!" Sarah anxiously explained to the other

party.

The soldier looked at her and felt sorry, but he had to follow the rules of the army. "Sister-in-law, I am really sorry. If

commander was here, everything would be fine. But he is not here now. Please wait a little longer."

The young solider was also in a difficult position.

"Then don't you have Battalion Commander Collins here? He knows me. Can you help me call him? That should be

fine, right?"

"What's the name of the Battalion Commander Collins you mentioned?" The soldier asked her.

"His name is Paul Collins. He used to be commander's subordinate!"

"Sorry sister-in-law, the Battalion Commander Collins you mentioned just now has been transferred away!" The

young soldier once again answered somewhat awkwardly.

“Then what about Operation Soldier Lee? His name is Jayson Lee. He also knows me. Can you call him?”

The young soldier wanted to say something but when he looked at her pitiful eyes, he sighed and picked up the

phone again. After a while, he answered awkwardly. “Operation Soldier Lee is also not present at this time.”

All the people she knew were absent at this moment. Sarah could only give up. "When will Military Commander

Cooper be back?"

"I'm sorry. I don't know when the chief will come back." He was just a soldier on guard. How could he know when

the chief would be back?

"Alright, then I can wait at the door, right?"

"Sister-in-law, there is a guest house here. You should go there first. Maybe the chief will come back in the

afternoon after lunch."

Although he was not sure that the young girl in front of him was Military Commander Cooper's wife, the soldier did

not dare to neglect her. He let another soldier lead her to the guest house next to the army.

Although Sarah was somewhat unwilling, she also understood some of the rules in the army. She could only follow

him to the guest house and booked a room inside.

Because she was too anxious when she came, she forgot to take the phone charger. Sarah wanted to call Christian

but could not get through.

Worried that she would not see Christian when he came back, Sarah first ate some food in the guest house. Then

she ran to the entrance of the army and found a place to sit by the roadside, waiting for Christian to return.

Sarah waited until three o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing an army green off-road vehicle slowly drive towards the

army's gate from the foot of the mountain, Sarah immediately stood up in anticipation.

She stared at the off-road vehicle, hoping that Christian was sitting inside. After looking inside not only did she not

see Christian's figure, but she also saw another familiar face – Greta Hughes.

Sarah saw the off-road vehicle drive past her and stop a few meters away from her. After a while, the door was

pushed open. Greta got out of the car and said a few words to the driver in the off-road vehicle. Then, the green

off-road vehicle drove into the army.

Greta looked at Sarah who was not far away and walked towards her.

When Sarah saw Greta's face, the photo that made her heart ache flashed in front of her eyes. she stood where

she was and looked at the woman in front of her coldly.

"What are you doing here? Are you pestering me?"

Seeing Sarah here really surprised her. When Greta thought her words would be exposed very soon after Sarah

met Christian, she was somewhat nervous. But when she walked in front of Sarah, she still maintained a proud

attitude.

"I came to find Christian. I want to ask him face to face. Is what you said true?" Sarah also did not shrink back as

she looked at Greta.

From the beginning until the end, she only heard Greta talking alone. Before she heard Christian told her personally

about it, she would not completely believe it.

"He doesn't want to see you now! Do you know why he turned off his phone? I just don't want you to find him. Stop

pestering him. Let go of him. You shouldn't have walked together!" Greta looked at her coldly.

"Even if he doesn't like me, shouldn't he tell me the reason? If he keeps hiding like this, we won't be able to handle

the divorce procedures, right?”

"You can sign the divorce agreement first. I can pass it to him!" Greta replied coldly again.

"Humph! Do you think marriage is a game? We can divorce without even seeing each other? I won't divorce him if I

can't see him!"

"Do you think it's meaningful to persist like this?" Greta never thought that Sarah would be so stubborn.

"Whether it is meaningful or not has nothing to do with you! This is a matter between him and me, please do not

interfere! Furthermore, I do not wish to talk to you now. You can leave!"

When Sarah thought of the photo taken by this woman in her and Christian’s bedroom, the previous favorable

impression of her had already disappeared.

Sarah looked at Greta's cold face and finished speaking. She then turned around and walked to the side and sat

down again. She continued to stubbornly wait for Christian.

Greta saw that she sat back down again and looked at the road up the mountain. Her eyes slightly moved and she

walked up to Sarah to look at her. "If you really like him, then let him go! If you continue to persist like this, he will

definitely be punished. He just became a commander. . ."

"You can leave! It’s my own problem if I leave or persist. I really don't want to talk to you anymore!"

Sarah felt extremely depressed when she saw Greta’s face. She turned her head and looked at the road up the

mountain, hoping that Christian's car would drive over from the end of the road. However, no matter how hard she

stared, there was no trace of a car there.

Greta saw her stubborn attitude and smiled as she sighed, "Alright. Originally I did not want to care about you. But

seeing that you and him were once husband and wife, I will tell you the truth today. He actually moved away from

here yesterday morning. If you really want to wait here for him to come back, then it can only be a year later!"

Sarah's heart sank when she heard Greta's words. She stood up nervously, "What did you say? You said that he will

not come back?"

"He has already been transferred away. The reason why he didn't tell you was because he didn't want you to know

where he went. Don't come back in the future. I think he will go and look for you to settle the divorce procedures a

year later."

Sarah heard what she said and her tears instantly fell. She shook her head in disbelief. "Impossible! Absolutely

impossible! He will not leave me like this!"

"Since you're so stubborn, then there's nothing I can do. Wait for him here! I'll be leaving first."

"Wait a moment!"

Greta turned around and was about to leave when Sarah immediately called out to stop her.

Greta turned around to look at her and smiled. "Have you thought it through?"

"Can you tell me. . . Where did he transfer to?"

"I'm sorry. Christian is now the chief. His whereabouts must be kept a secret. Please forgive me." After Greta

finished speaking, she turned around and quickly entered the army's main gate.

Sarah stood where she was and stared blankly at Greta's back. Her heart was so stifled that she could not catch her

breath.

She originally thought that as long as she came to Christian's army, she would be able to see him. But she did not

expect that he had already moved away from here.

Turning her head to look at the intersection leading up the mountain, Sarah's heart was once again tangled

together.

Christian, where did you go?

Do you really transfer away?

Are you really going to leave me like this?

Although Greta had said it clearly, Sarah still sat at the entrance of the army. She stubbornly waited until night fell

and saw that the lights in the guest house had already lit up. Sarah got up and returned to the guest house tiredly.

Although she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, thinking about the child in her womb, Sarah still insisted on

eating dinner in the hostel.

Seeing that it was still early, Sarah unwillingly walked out of the guest house. She stood at the intersection and kept

looking at the intersection where she came from, hoping that Christian's car would appear there.

But time slowly passed. Sarah waited until 11 o'clock at night. She still did not see Christian's shadow.

Her body was already exhausted. Sarah dragged her body back to the guest house and walked into her room to lie

down on the bed. When she thought about how Christian left her just like that, her tears could not help but fall.

The night gradually deepened. Sarah's heart, however, was once again in complete chaos.

The next morning, after Sarah had breakfast, she went to the entrance of the army to ask if Christian had returned.

But the reply she received was that there was still no news of him.

"Comrade, is Military Commander Cooper really transferred away?" Sarah wanted to confirm the authenticity of

this news.

"I think I heard a little. I did hear that Military Commander Cooper wanted to transfer away from this place. But I

only heard about it." The soldier on duty did not give her an accurate answer.

However, this ambiguous news completely made Sarah lose confidence in Christian.

She nodded silently, turned around, and went back to the guest house. She quietly packed up all her belongings and

left the guest house.

Because there were no taxis here, Sarah followed the way she came and left.

Just as she walked out for about ten minutes, behind her, an army green off-road vehicle drove over and quickly

stopped beside her. The window rolled down and Sarah saw that the person in the car was Greta. But this time,

Greta drove the car over herself.

"Get in the car. If you walk down the road, you will have to walk for more than an hour." Greta looked at Sarah

outside the window and shouted.

Greta had just called the soldier on duty and found out that Sarah had left. She was worried that Sarah would run

into Christian's car on the way, so she chased after Sarah.

"You can go. I don’t need your help." She did not take Greta's car and stubbornly continued to walk forward.

Greta silently looked at her and understood that her character was a little stubborn. She looked at Sarah's back and

was silent for a moment. She started the car and turned it around on the road before returning to the army.

Sarah walked on the road for about ten minutes before another military car drove over. Seeing her walk down the

mountain alone, the car stopped by her side and let her get into the car.

This time Sarah did not refuse again. From yesterday until now, her body, which was suffering from physical and

mental torture, could not bear it anymore.

Sarah sat down and the off-road vehicle quickly started moving, heading towards the foot of the mountain. The car

soon arrived at the road to the bottom of the mountain. The off-road vehicle turned to the main road in the city and

put Sarah down in front of a bus station. Only then did they leave.
