CHAPTER 343
Girls like Jillian, who can endure hardships and possess strength, are very much welcomed at Empire Base.
“Thanks, Doc. I’ll just take some medicine and apply it when I get back. I’ll be fine.”
Jillian spoke softly, quite politely. She was very good at winning people over, and her goal was clear – she was determined to get into Empire Base. Therefore, even if it was just a medic in the infirmary, she made sure to establish a good relationship.
The curtain was pulled aside, and the chimes on it tinkled crisply. Jillian glanced over instinctively, her breath hitching.
It was him…
The man who shone bright as the moon.
“Head Instructor, you’re here.”
The medic, who was handing medicine to Jillian, greeted Connor warmly as he walked in. -Connor had made it clear that he preferred to be called the Head Instructor, not boss as
some used to.
Connor strode over to the counter and handed over a list: “Please prepare the medication listed here for me.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“Just a moment, please.”
The medic quickly handed Jillian her medicine and then proceeded to prepare Connor’s. Only then did Connor notice Jillian and the girl.
“Your name is Jillian?”
His gaze lingered on her for a moment. He had noticed the photo and name on the door when he had escorted Flora back to her dorm,
Jillian hadn’t expected Connor to initiate a conversation with her, let alone remember her name. She found herself holding her breath, nodding somewhat stiffly.
His eyes swept over her injured hand, and considering she was Flora’s roommate, Connor said indifferently, “Be careful during training.”
The medic handed him the prepared medication, and with that, Connor left with long strides. Jillian watched his retreating figure, her heart racing. The swaying curtain, accompanied by the crisp sound of the chimes, stirred ripples in her heart.
The girl carried the medicine for Jillian, accompanying her back to the dorm, continuously saying, “Jillian, the Head Instructor remembers your name! Maybe he likes you!”
Jillian pressed her lips together: “I doubt it… It’s the first time he’s seen me, how could he

like me… But then again, when we first arrived at the base, and he was giving a speech, my roommate also mentioned he kept looking at me…
The girl grew even more excited: “He must have had a crush on you from the start! Otherwise, how would he know your name? And he was so concerned about you in the Infirmary, his eyes nearly stuck on you.”
Listening to the girl’s envious tone, Jillian felt both shy and proud. She indeed had charm. Even a man as handsome as him could fall under her spell.
But… just a Head Instructor was hardly a match for her. However, it didn’t matter; she was confident she could support him to reach the pinnacle of success.
Rumors about Flora’s promiscuity and unclear relations with several instructors spread like wildfire across the base. Everyone’s gaze towards Flora became weird.
One day, after a tough training session when everyone was resting, Lance found an opportunity to chat with Flora.
“Hello, Instructor!”
Kaylee, who had originally come to talk to Flora, greeted Lance politely upon seeing him. Lance was the instructor for their unit.
Lance nodded in greeting. He had intended to talk more with Flora, but with Kaylee there, some topics seemed inappropriate to discuss in front of others. After a brief exchange with Flora, he left first.
