How Death Became My Rebirth by Evelyn Florence

Chapter 285 “Ms. Yates, why don’t you go back first? You can tellthe detoxification method and the herbs needed, and I'll stay here,” said Hugo. He was worried. The ongoing war made the place extremely unsafe.

While it was unlikely that the enemy would target the Queen’s Palace, there was always the risk of bombs being dropped or accidental casualties.

No matter how powerful Cassandra was, she was still vulnerable to physical harm. Hugo thought, ‘What if there is danger? What if she gets injured? ‘I have lived for half a lifetand have grown indifferent to life and death, but Ms. Yates is different. At just eighteen years old, she is in the prof her youth and shouldn't be staying in such a perilous place.

Cassandra's face darkened, and she said in a cold voice, “Hugo, | took this order. | should stay here. I'll contact speople and send you back later. You should go back first.

In her opinion, it was her duty, and she shouldn't let Hugo stay there.

She had thought she could at least have a few more days of ceasefire. By then, Leanna’s poison would have been mostly removed, and they could handle their own affairs and recuperate.

There was no need for her to stay there any longer. The reason why she let Hugo stay there was that she didn’t want to cooperate with the people in the Queen's. Palace, and she didn’t want to have too much contact with them at all.

Kenneth and Jeremiah had more important matters to attend to and needed to return soon.

She was unwilling to let Hugo stay there, and she didn’t expect the war would cso soona x] Cassandra thought, ‘Why are Theodore and the others too slow? They haven't prepared the herbs yet! “That's so annoying!” Hugo said, “I'm not going back. I'll stay here. Ms. Yates, it's you who should go back. You have more important things to do than stay here.” Wed, 13 Mar Chapter 285 68% He knew that Cassandra had other identities, such as being part of the National Security Bureau and the Information Security Department. When wars broke out in other countries, the nation should be on high alert.

Hugo was right. After the outbreak of the war in Zosteylor, the Information Security Department had been gathering its people.

It was just that Cassandra was absent.

“Without me, the department won't collapse, and besides, | can do my work remotely. There aren't many people who can attack the security systems I've set up,” said Cassandra confidently, lifting her eyebrows. She was confident.

“But...” Hugo wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Cassandra.

“Well, Hugo, | left you here yesterday because | thought they would ceasefire for at few more days. | was thinking that we would go back once | detoxified Ms. Leanna Stark and Harper. | thought it wouldn't take long.

But now that war has broken out, if you don’t leave now, it will be dangerous.” She didn’t have many family members, but they all had a close bond with her, and they were all chosen by her and cared for her in return.

Therefore, she would do her best to protect the family that she accepted.

“Ms. Yates, the more you say, the less likely | am to leave. | won't leave you. If you wantto leave, then let's leave together. Hugo said with deep sincerity, “You're my master. Wherever you are, I'll be there too. | don’t care about other things as long as you're safe.” He didn’t consider his life important at all compared with Cassandra's.

Cassandra sighed and looked at Hugo with a serious expression. She said, “Hugo, | have never regardedas your master. You are not my subordinate. You're my family, irreplaceable family to me.” Since the death of Blossom and her encounter with Hugo, he had taken good care of her for several years..

Hugo had been there for her when she fell ill. During her first menstrual period, he gave her the first glass of warm water. And when she went abroad, he cared for her with meticulous attention. He took care of her as Blossom did and made her feel warm and comfortable.

2/5 Chapter 285 He was just as important to her as Blossom had been.

“I know it. I've always treated you like my granddaughter, so | won't leave,” Hugo said with a gentle smile. “Well, I'll go check on Her Majesty now. Ms. Yates, you should get srest.” He left briskly, not feeling afraid because of the war outside. Instead, Cassandra’s words had made him feel content.

However, he thought that the place was ultimately unsafe, so it was best to leave as soon as possible.

As soon as Cassandra sat down in the room, Kenneth’s video call came.

It wasn’t that he hadn't tried to video call her to confirm her safety immediately, but he didn’t expect the conflict to erupt so soon, and he wasn't adept at making video calls yet.

While Yannick was trained to make a report again, Kenneth rushed to the superior’s office and pulled Yannick out.

Cassandra raised her eyebrows and answered the video call.

Kenneth said anxiously, “Cassie, how's everything going? Are you okay? I'll arrange for a plane to bring you back.” Kenneth didn’t care about the treatment of Leanna and Harper.

He thought that other people's lives had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't bear to see Cassandra risk her life to treat others.

In his opinion, Leanna was useless because she wasn’t able to quell internal strife within her own country.

Cassandra paused for a moment.

But she felt warm in her heart. In this world, having someone love her was enough.

“You don’t have to. Don’t send anyone. I'll stay here for a few days. Don’t worry. I'll be fine,” said Cassandra.

And she thought she wouldn't let herself be in danger.

3/5 A 10.32 Wed, 13 Maru B Chapter 285 68% “No, it's too dangerous where you are. It’s not safe at all. Bombs are being dropped. sporadically. What if you get hurt?” Kenneth was worried. Then he ordered Yannick and said, “Gather a group of people and leave in half an hour.” “Yes, sir!” Yannick saluted! “Wait, Yannick. Stop!” said Cassandra.

Yannick was a bit puzzled. He couldn't understand why he still felt such a strong sense of oppression from Cassandra, even through the phone.

He didn’t know who he should listen to now.

“Ken, it’s notyou should care about now. Don’t worry. I'll be fine. During the previous war, did you see Queen's Palace get hit by mistake? Trust me, at most...” Cassandra paused for a moment. She continued, “As long as Theodore can get the herbs | need today, I'll be back in five days. Just givefive more days.” Kenneth shook his head without thinking. He said, “Five days is too long forto rest assured.” He thought that anything could happen in five days.

Cassandra said, “It was already the fastest. Well, if there is any danger in the Queen's Palace, | will evacuate immediately. There's a consulate and an army here. I'll go find them, and then wait for your people to cpickup. Is that acceptable?” Kenneth suddenly realized that the consulate hadn't been evacuated yet according to the original plan, which was supposed to happen in half a month. However, in an emergency situation like this, it would probably be evacuated in a short time. The consulate was a safe place, so he could inform people there beforehand.

He replied, “OK. If anything happens, I'll have speople from the consulate cpick you up. You and Hugo must go with them. I'll wait for you to cback to Drieso.” “Okay, | understand,” said Cassandra.

She knew Kenneth and the others who cared about her in Drieso, so she would try her best to go back safely.
