Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 86

In Brazil, it was half past four in the afternoon.

A casually dressed officer, accompanied by his team, met with an elderly gentleman. Despite his age, the old man didn’t appear old except for the gray hair on his head.

He moved with grace, exuding an air of nobility, and had a deep gray coat draped over his arm, emitting the distinctive aura of a leader. Engaging in conversation with them was another gentleman by his side, a middle-aged man with elegance and charm.

“Are you Major Martin and Major Warner? Thank you both,” he greeted.

“Not at all, not at all!” Major Martin warmly shook hands with the man and then turned to introduce, “This is Major Warner, in charge of all security matters for our production team. He will personally take care of you both and escort you to the base camp.”

Blake Lopez turned to Major Warner and extended his hand with a friendly gesture, “Sorry to bother you, Major Warner.”

Major Warner, who oversaw the control room, shook hands with Blake and inquired, “But may I ask why you’re coming to the base camp? If you had informed us in advance, we could have made preparations.”

Blake withdrew his hand and smiled graciously, “I apologize, for our little daughter at home is a bit mischievous. She didn’t inform us before joining this dangerous show and ended up getting injured. We were concerned and wanted to come in person.”

Major Warner paused for a moment, pondering. He guessed, “You’re talking about the young recruit Elaine Lopez at Military Base No. 5, right?”

Blake nodded, “You guessed it.”

It turned out the grandparents were worried about their child. Major Warner understood now and waved, his hand, “The car is right outside; please, both of you, hop in.”

Elaine couldn’t believe she was this important. After being bitten by a snake, her parents hadn’t even made a phone call, but her grandfather and uncle were so worried they rushed to see her in person. Seeing the sudden appearance of her two elder relatives in the hospital room, Elaine felt a mix of embarrassment and gratitude.

She struggled to get out of bed, too excited to find the right words, “I’m fine, really! Grandpa, look, I can walk without any issues. The doctor said they just need to observe me for another twenty-four hours, and then I can be discharged!”

Derek sat on the sofa, leaning against its not-so-soft backrest. After observing for a while, he said to Blake, “Looks like she’s doing well,
