General Palmer, who was unwilling to let the two of them drift apart so easily, finally spoke up, "Yes, these are the candidates selected for the satellite research base. Aren’t you curious who’s on the list?"
Suspicion flashed in George’s eyes and he reached his hand out for the list.
Kelly panicked and she stepped forward, trying to stop him.
Just then, a sudden cry of pain rang out from outside.
"Ah!" It was Amanda's voice.
George immediately dropped the list and turned toward the door with hurried steps. "Amanda, what’s wrong?" he called out.
General Palmer sighed heavily and shook his head, while Kelly’s expression remained impassive.
"Uncle Rick, just drop it," she said.
General Palmer said, "I just don’t want either of you to have regrets in the future."
It was a done deal and regret or not would not change the fact that she had to leave.
After a long time, General Palmer said, "I have asked George to escort you to the handover location. The day after tomorrow, let George take you on a journey."
Kelly knew she could not argue with him, so she had no choice but to nod.
As soon as she walked out of the study, she saw George standing at the door. He seemed he had something to say.
"What?" Kelly asked.
A flash of panic flashed in George's eyes as he said, "Kelly, why did you throw all the things I gave you into the recycle station?"
Kelly was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about the letters and gifts they exchanged. In the past, she had put so much importance on the things shared between them. Whether it was a piece of scrap paper with graffiti or a valuable watch, she stored it carefully and meticulously.
General Palmer once hired a nanny to take care of the two of them, but the nanny threw away Kelly's letters without asking. Kelly hurriedly ran out to look for them that night and spent a long time before she found the discarded things one by one. When George knew about it, he was so angry and fired the nanny on the spot.
However, today, Kelly did not care anymore. "Well, those things took too much place, so I threw them out. Besides, there is no point in keeping those anymore."
George stared at Kelly's face. He was afraid, he would miss a flicker of her emotion. Unfortunately, he realized that Kelly's expression did not change at all during their conversation.
The treasure that she once had regarded as her life has now become useless.
