RedNovelChapter 21
Henry noticed the worry clouding Calista's expression and offered her a
reassuring smile. "There"s vast-he'll never find our location. And even if he does, what claim does he have over
you? He's married to someone else." He squeezed her hand gently. "What are you afraid of? I'll protect you."
News of their marriage quickly spread across the base, drawing warm congratulations from their colleagues and
the leadership. Everyone understood the isolation that cwith their work-finding love in such a remote place
was a rare and cherished gift.
The base assigned them a small house, and on moving day, their coworkers crowded in to celebrate. Their union
had beca beacon of hope for the entire community.
Calista smiled as she glanced at their wedding photo framed on the wall. She had even given Henry her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcherished good luck charm, which he now wore close to his heart.
Despite his stoic demeanor, Henry turned out to be incredibly tender. He pampered Calista, refusing to let her
handle even the smallest chores. Their colleagues teased him about it, but he would just smile sheepishly and
say, "It
took so much to win her over-I won't let her suffer, not even a little."
Soon, the entire base knew not only of Calista's beauty and intelligence but also of her husband's unwavering
devotion.
Their happiness almost made Calista forget Ken's ominous words about finding her. She and Henry focused on
building their life together, making plans to shop for supplies on the next holiday.
Meanwhile, Ken finally reached the rugged, desolate frontier of the base. As he stepped out of his car, harsh
winds buffeted him, and the gritty sand stung his face.
"This is where Calista lives?" he muttered, his heart sinking. How could someone so delicate survive in such a
harsh
environment?
Determined, Ken clenched his fists. He had to find her, beg her forgiveness, and bring her back home.
He managed to secure a room from a local contact, an older man named Mr. Carter. Holding up a photograph of
Calista, Ken began asking around for help in his search.
Mr. Carter examined the photo with a knowing smile. "Looking for a lost love?" His tone grew serious. "If she's at
one of the satellite bases, you're talking about ten years of isolation, minimum. You might want to reconsider."
Ken's grip tightened around his glass of water. "She's everything to me. Please, help me. If it takes a month, I'll
search for a month. If it takes a year, I'll search for a year." His voice grew firm with resolve. "I've already
requested a transfer here. I'll find her, even if it takes the rest of my life."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMr. Carter sighed, shaking his head, but after making a few calls, he returned with news. "The base sends a
supply car to buy once a month. You're in luck-it's due today."
Ken was out the door before Mr. Carter finished speaking, his determination propelling him forward.
