Chapter 258


    I stopped Adrian at the door right away.


    As a mother, she would instinctively protect her child and Adrian could understand why.


    Juno came out of the kitchen and pulled I to the side.


    “Mother, this is War Legate Draco. Don’t be rude to him.”


    “Pleasee in,” Juno said as she pulled Adrian into the house.


    “Juno…” I wanted to say something but stopped herself. She could not bring herself to stop her


    daughter upon seeing how happy she was


    It had been a long time since Juno looked this happy.


    Adrian entered the house. Juno’s house was shabby but it was clean and tidy. The sofa was so old that


    it was tattered in various ces but it could still be sat on


    Juno showed Adrian to a sear and said to him smilingly, “Please sit here. I’ll go get you a coffee!”


    Adrian stood up. “It’s inconvenient for you to move around so you don’t have to get me anything. I won’t


    be here long.”


    “I’ll go get it then.” I headed to the kitchen to grab the pot of coffee.


    Juno was delighted because it was the first time someone was visiting her home. She wanted to ask


    Adrian to stay for dinner so she said to I, “Mother, apany the legate while I cook.


    “Big Brother, you have to stay for dinner tonight because I’m cooking.”


    As Juno spoke, she went toward the kitchen. Her wheelchair was motorized so she did not need help


    getting around.


    Adrian was moved by Juno’s enthusiasm. Had Joseph not been killed in action, his family would have


    been a perfect one.


    He shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his head. Then, he sized up I.


    The woman was not even forty years old yet she looked more than fifty. She was supposed to be aging


    elegantly, but instead, she looked so emaciated that she could be toppled over by a gust of wind.


    Moreover, she exuded a sickly demeanor.


    Adrian took a sip of coffee. “I’m sorry to have disturbed you but your daughter cares about your health


    very much. She asked me toe over to tell you this.”


    He did not bother beating around the bush.


    “Tell me what?” I asked.


    “You’re not even forty years old, right?” he asked.


    I pursed her lips and nodded. “I’m thirty-eight this year because I got married young.”


    “Thirty-eight! A woman of your age should be at the height of her youth and vigor. You’re still young. I


    can see that you’ve exhausted yourself physically and men tally for your daughter,” Adrian said.


    I was at a loss for words. She never had anyone talk to her about her family affairs. People only ever


    criticized her behind her back


    Noticing that I was quiet, Adrian said, “Your daughter isn’t here so you can tell me the truth. You


    don’t look well. Have you gotten yourself checked out by a hospital?”


    I suddenly rubbed her eyes and kept her head lowered without speaking


    “Everything wille to an end, right? You will have to make arrangements for your daughter in the


    end,” Adrian said.


    “Who the heck are you? What’s your goal in getting close to Juno?” I suddenly raised her head to


    look at Adrian.


    Adrian answered, “Raider was a soldier worlding under me and I was the one who chose him to be


    trained at Wyvern Peak. I’m War Legate Draco and my only purpose ining here is to visit you”

    “I’ve never met War Legate Draco so how do I know that you’re really him?” I questioned.


    Adrian ced his medallion on the table and said, “This is the best evidence I have. I’m the leader of


    Wyvern Peak and also the only nine-star war legate in Navia.”


    I looked at the medallion of War Legate Dracon on the table in a daze.
