This is my decision. My father died in battle when I was very young, leaving my frail and sickly mother to take care of me alone. Life was tough until my mother took me back to my grandmother’s house that year….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timi, with her eyes red and voice choking, recalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a spacious courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous elegantly dressed noblewomen were laughing and chatting under a banyan tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many children were happily chasing and playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a pale-skinned woman in an outdated white gown with her hair up was leading a five-year-old girl with pink short hair and a timid expression inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they passed, the noblewomen noticed and gossiped mockingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that Tilla? Why has she come back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wasn’t she the one who insisted on marrying that good-for-nothing man? How dare she come back now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard that man died, and now she can’t manage on her own with a baggage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That little girl is his child, seems like a jinx.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think so too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tilla ignored the gossip, leading Timi into the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the hall, everyone’s eyes were on Tilla, whispering with ridicule and sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that Tilla?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wasn’t she the one who said she’d never set foot in this house again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Annabeth walked towards Tilla and Timi with a serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone watched as Annabeth approached, their smiles growing wider, ready to enjoy the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Timi looked at Annabeth approaching, very scared, clutching her mother’s coat and shrinking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annabeth reached Timi, slowly squatted down, and raised her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timi closed her eyes in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, she felt a gentle hand stroking her little head, and slowly opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw Annabeth smiling kindly at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timi was completely astounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annabeth gently took Timi’s hand and walked towards the center of the hall under the gaze of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was the first time I met my grandmother. I still remember her kind smile. Later, my mother also passed away, and since then, I stayed at my grandmother’s house. She took me to catch butterflies in the forest, to see the fireworks, to….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Timi spoke, tears kept streaming down her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming silently offered a tissue to Timi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timi accepted the tissue, took a deep breath to compose herself, and spoke to Su Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that my grandmother has sacrificed herself, the Ninth Legion has been defeated. I cannot let my grandmother’s efforts go to waste. So, I must return to the Ninth Legion and do everything I can to rebuild the Ninth Group and avenge my grandmother’s death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Su Ming remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timi looked at the silent Su Ming and continued apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, Officer Su Ming. You’ve placed so much trust in me and nurtured me, yet I suddenly left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay, I understand how you feel. It’s not your fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming shook his head in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a soldier ran over and respectfully told Timi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Officer Timi, it’s time to board the ship for departure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Timi wiped away her tear stains and said to Su Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, Officer Su Ming, I have to go now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, take care and stay safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming nodded and advised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Officer Su Ming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timi bowed to Su Ming, bit her lip lightly, and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, several female officers who were close to Timi saw her returning and approached curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Timi, is that your boyfriend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, that’s my officer. He specially came to see me off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timi shook her head in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We know he’s your officer, but he’s so considerate to come see you off. Are you sure there’s nothing between you two?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female officers teased Timi deliberately, trying to divert her attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timi’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, don’t talk nonsense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Su Ming stood still, quietly watching Timi and the others board the ship and set sail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, Timi’s gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhein and the others said in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming replied, feeling a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a big problem; he had lost his captain.\u003C\u002Fp>",795,"2026-06-02T10:50:28.113Z",1,"novelbin.me","fde4324889c066da884855205486236174e4a4032d9e5740a123d433b96a2300","shadows-of-the-deep-space-chapter-1234","shadows-of-the-deep-space-chapter-1232",1854,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshadows-of-the-deep-space-cover.jpg"]
