Chapter 1281 Extra Story 36 Of Edgar Scars On His Back (1/2)
Maggie fidgeted in her seat. It seemed to her that Edgar had two personalities and so did the members of the Eagle. Edgar and Daniel had the most visible symptoms of these split personalities.
Just looking at Daniel she frowned inwardly. He had hidden his sharp talons in front of Cathy. The most feared Nighthawk had turned into a pussycat now.
Since they acted as if she wasn't there, Maggie had no choice but to close her mouth and sit unobtrusively during the drive to the hospital.
After they arrived at the hospital, Edgar met privately with Daniel and Cathy in his ward. Naturally Maggie was left alone outside. She leaned on the window sill and gazed idly out through the glass panes. Some soldiers were training out there. It struck her that it was time for recruiting again.
”What are you thinking?” a voice rang out. Maggie was startled to find Cathy beside her, while Daniel was still inside the ward talking to Edgar.
Maggie stood at attention automatically. Gesturing for her to be at ease, Cathy glanced out the window and sighed, ”Time really flies. I've already been here for years…”
Maggie had heard many things about Cathy from Garth. She had previously been doing research on missiles and had grown up in a military family with a father who was the chief commander of S Army. Hence, she had been given the chance to get into this domain earlier than most.
But Cathy was different. She had passed the admissions test on her own merits. During her time at the university she had taken a break because of trouble with her eyes, but she had worked hard to keep up with the flow of the course materials and had graduated top of her class before starting at the bottom in the military.
”Cathy, how did you meet Daniel?” Maggie asked, her shoulders drooping.
Maggie was young and Cathy wasn't much older than her. Both of them were girls who had joined the army right after graduation. With a similar background, there were less inhibitions in their conversation.
Cathy pressed her lips into a smile. ”Maybe fate had a plan for us? I believe so. Fate had spoken. Things always go down the path that has been prearranged by destiny.” She smiled and added wistfully, ”I knew Brian first. At that time, I had heard about Molly but I hadn't met her. Brian and Molly have been through a lot to be together. Things were much easier for Daniel and me. I'm grateful for that.”
”So… which one of you made the first move?” It was a stupid question. Maggie realized it as soon as the words were out of her mouth. No wonder Edgar sometimes just looked at her with the expression as if to say 'You little fool'. ”It must have been Daniel who took the initiative.” There was no doubt about it. Daniel was so good to Cathy and treated her like she was his most prized treasure.
But… It wasn't the truth.
