NovelEnglishpAn,Da-n0v e1,c As for Oliver Walker, he immediately went to Pearl Street when he got the address.
He was prepared to clean the streets with his mother-in-law!
At the Military Department of Colorado!
There was a man in his uniform who sat behind the desk as he asked, "What would you like to know?"
His voice was monotonous!
There was no mockery, but he didn't sound kind as well.
He was just trying to do his job!
"Isn't that Emilia?"
"What is she doing here?"
"Could it be that she wants compensation for those who fought on the front lines?"
"..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe group of people was feeling curious the moment they saw Emilia, but before their pride, they didn't say a single word.
However, they continued whispering and gossiping as soon as Emilia sat down.
The war in Indiana was about to end soon.
The information about the heroes and the fallen soldiers on the front lines had been released back to their homes so that their families could receive the well-deserved subsidy.
This was why most families who had children in the army started asking about their status on the front lines!
But, Emilia's appearance here was shocking to all of them!
Didn't they say that Oliver Walker returned?
If he had already returned now, would he still be considered a hero? Or a warrior?
The war wasn't over, and they weren't victorious yet. Returning home at this time meant that he hadn't come home as a hero!
Emilia could feel that everyone around her was staring at her with a peculiar look in their eyes, but she was already used to it.
She was just afraid that Oliver Walker was a runaway soldier, so she asked anxiously, "I just wanted to check for information about my husband on the front lines!"
She was afraid of lies!
Although she would rather shut her heart, she was still dying to know the truth!
The officer then asked, "Oliver Walker?"
In fact, most of them knew who Emilia's husband was, but he was only repeating it for confirmation.
"En!"
Emilia bit her lips and placed her hands in her pocket. She held onto the dubious medals. She had no idea whether they were authentic.
Her daughter would never lie, and these medals were given to her by Oliver Walker.
If these were real medals, she would be the one at fault.
If they weren't real, Oliver Walker would have committed a deadly crime!
The officer behind the desk stared at the computer, and he turned quiet!
The longer she waited, the more anxious she felt. In the end, Emilia couldn't wait any longer as she asked, "What's…..what's wrong?"
She was scared!
She was feeling afraid!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, the woman who was waiting behind Emilia started mocking her, "What else do you think would happen?
"Your husband has already gone home, so he isn't a hero, and he definitely isn't a fallen soldier!
"I think you should just stop wasting all of our time here!"
Emilia frowned, and when she saw who the woman was, she shut her mouth!
The woman was called Karen Adams who lived in the same neighborhood as them.
Their family wasn't wealthy as well. Their eldest had joined the army, and the youngest was still single until today.
When Emilia's family just moved in, Karen Adams had been very kind, and both families became very close within a short period of time.
Then, there was a matchmaker who approached Mary Grimm and said that there was a man interested in Emilia since it wouldn't be easy for her to be a single mother.
This man turned out to be Karen Adam's son!
Emilia definitely wouldn't agree to it, so she rejected the offer.
The matchmaker was someone whom Karen Adams hired!
Since then, both families had become distant from each other.
Karen Adams even started manipulating facts about Emilia, claiming that Oliver Walker didn't join the army and that Emilia was just abandoned by her husband.
Then, Karen Adams even said that Emilia was a jinx!action
They just made things sound as bad as they could. In the end, it caused Emilia's reputation to plummet in the neighborhood.
Then, when Olivia got sick, all of them treated Emilia's family as if they had the plague.
