Chapter 1164

Mya smiled. "The selection is coming up soon. We should head back and make preparations. What do you think, Gloria?" Gloria nodded with a smile. "Yes, we should. Let's go home since there's nothing wrong with me anymore. We’ve troubled them to take care of us for so long that I'm starting to feel a little guilty.” "You did no such thing." Lacey continued, "It was no trouble at all. Neither are we trying to chase you out, but the matter in Novemton seems to be very pressing." "What do you think?" Gloria asked. Adrian wanted to stay there for another week until all of the mutated cells inside Gloria were gone, but the selection was at hand. This was the most important event in his life and the last thing he would be involved in as a war legate. Hence, he needed to give it his all. He asked, "Lacey, are you sure Gloria’s cells won't mutate again? What are the chances of that happening?" Lacey understood Adrian’s concerns. "Don't worry, the remnants aren't functional. Also, the medicine I’ll prepare is to eliminate them. She won't go through any more mutations if she remains well-rested. My colleagues have confirmed this fact after running tests over the past few days. There's nothing for you to worry about." Adrian finally relaxed after hearing this. "In that case, we won't stay any longer. We'll head back to Novemton this afternoon. There's just one last thing I need to look into." "Okay." Lacey nodded. She then remembered something and added, "Oh, I almost forgot. Gloria's body is no different from an ordinary human's now. She may be cured of her condition, but she's no longer suitable for the battlefield since her reflexes, agility, and capabilities have all dropped considerably. From now on, you should focus on being an ordinary woman and not think about anything else.” She then walked out. Gloria let off a heartfelt smile as she gazed at Adrian. This was the most important change of her life. "All that blood and sweat you shed didn’t go to waste, Adrian. I feel really good right now, and I can't wait to go home and begin my new life," she said earnestly. Adrian smiled and cupped her face. "After the selection is over, I'll take you guys around the world and will never step foot on the battlefield anymore. We'll work on farms and live peacefully for the rest of our lives." "Okay!" That was exactly what Gloria wanted as well. "All right, enough with the mushy stuff. Let's pack. I'll contact Hayden and have him drive us back," Mya interrupted. Gloria nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and call him. Let's all head back as soon as possible." After Mya called Hayden, the two women packed their suitcases in preparation to leave that afternoon. Gloria could not wait to share the news of her recovery with Gracia. Surely nothing would make her happier than this piece of news. The trio gathered outside Lacey's clinic that afternoon for lunch. Adrian and Nicholas sat down in a cafe for a chat before they parted ways.
