How Death Became My Rebirth (Cassandra Yates)
Chapter 259

Chapter 259

After getting off the plane, Cassandra turned on her mobile phone.

She received a lot of messages from Cassidy, Sofia, her instructor, and Howard.

Sofia: [My idol, why didn’t you attend class today? I noticed no one answered when the teacher calledyour name.]

Sofia: [The school is over. Why haven’t you come yet? Are you fine?]

Cassidy: [Cassandra, did anything happen to you?]

Cassidy: [How strange! You didn’t come to school. Neither did Harper.]

They were all concerned about her and kept texting or calling her. Cassandra felt a little embarrassedfor a moment.

She walked up to Daniel and said awkwardly, “Director Walker, please notify my school that I’ll get acouple of days off school. I forgot to ask for leave.”

This task would take a long time, so she needed to justify herself. She decided to let Daniel ask forleave on her behalf. Anyway, he was the one who gave her this task.

Daniel raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, “Ask for leave?”

“I’m still a student. Don’t I need to ask for leave when I’m absent from class?” Cassandra asked back.

Daniel was speechless.

He forgot Cassandra was still a freshman in college.

“Leave it to me. Don’t worry about it,” Daniel replied.

She only replied to Sofia’s WhatsApp message. [I have something urgent to do. I will ask for leavelater. Please let Cassidy know.]

However, she didn’t have time to reply to all of them. Daniel began to collect their cell phones. Sheswitched it off and handed it over to him.

After arriving at the battle camp, the rest of the staff from the information security department alsoarrived.

They started assigning work..

*********

After hours of meetings and situation analysis, they finally had an idea of Zosteylor’s situation. The warwas caused by power competition. Zosteylor’s new queen had taken power a year ago, but she nevermade public appearances on television. Her husband presided over everything on her behalf.

They subdued the infighting and drove the queen’s sister from Zosteylor. This time, the queen’s sisterreturned with her troops to seize power.

They didn’t expect their war to injure Clusia nationals by mistake.

Kamila, the queen’s sister, was determined to obtain the position she deserved. When Clusia’s troopsnegotiated with her, they didn’t get a satisfactory answer.

Kamila intended to occupy the Queen’s palace earlier, with the support of Clusia’s troops. She hadthreatened Clusia with its people, but Clusia had its own rules and would never intervene in the internalaffairs of other countries.

Their task was to evacuate Clusia nationals from Zosteylor safely. The internal affairs in Zosteylor hadnothing to do with Clusia.

Unfortunately, the two sides couldn’t reach a consensus. Clusia gave the task to the Falcon SpecialOperations Force and requested that they complete the mission with the support of the informationsecurity department.

After the meeting, Kenneth asked them to go back to their rooms for a rest and decided to assign themthe assignment the next morning.

At that time, only Kenneth and Cassandra were left in the huge office.

He had suppressed his emotions for a long time along the way. He was torn between his belovedwoman and Clusia nationals. As a commander, he couldn’t fail his duties.

Cassandra had the best hacking skills in the information security department. In other words, Emerywas admired by hackers all over the world. Without her, Falcon Special Operations Force might spendmore effort while achieving fewer results. They might also face more dangers.

But Cassandra was his girlfriend. He would be distracted and worried about her safety if she stayed onthe battlefield.

After hesitating for a long time, Kenneth said, “Cassie, you… You shouldn’t have come.”

He didn’t doubt her abilities but worried about her safety.

Cassandra frowned and said with dissatisfaction, “Are you afraid of me dragging you down?” Sheadded after thinking for a while, “How about we have a competition? Please don’t say that again if I winor we’re even.”

Kenneth’s tone was exactly like Jeremiah’s, but Jeremiah sounded a little angrier.

She could protect herself. What made them worry so sick?

Kenneth was stunned.

“Cassie, I’m not questioning your ability and fighting skills. As long as you are in this dangerous place, Ican’t stop worrying about you,” he explained.

He worried sick as long as he thought of the risk she might face.

Cassandra’s frown eased. She patted Kenneth on the shoulder and said in a very gentle tone, “I knowwhat you mean. I understand your concern. But now we have more important things to do. Weshouldn’t put personal safety first.”

Although she was not a soldier, she served the country. She was still prompted by patriotism.

However, Kenneth deepened his frown upon hearing what she said. “Cassie…”

“Stop trying to persuade me. You should understand me,” Cassandra said.

Kenneth was surprised. He thought, ‘How am I to understand you? You were abandoned by your familyand had a miserable childhood, but you are still optimistic about life. You don’t believe in love, but youstill choose to risk your life for strangers? Cassie, you’re so

conflicted. What kind of a person are you?‘

“I give up. When you’re in danger, try your best to protect yourself and wait for me to save you,”Kenneth said.

“No problem. Don’t worry. It’s not easy for me to revive. I don’t wanna die,” Cassandra blurted out. Itwas the first time for her to say something without thinking.

“Revive?”

Kenneth was a little confused. What did that mean?

“For me, I revived after leaving the Yates family,” Cassandra said, trying to whitewash it.

Kenneth understood what she said with

“Yeah. You’re right,” Kenneth agreed.

any suspicions.

“The two sides in Zosteylor agreed to a truce for the time being. We can take the chance to deploy ourrescue work during this period,” Cassandra said. All could think now was work.

There were more than 30,000 Clusians in Zosteylor. Evacuation of all of them was an arduous task,and they also needed to keep them safe in the war.

It was quite a challenge.

“We can discuss it tomorrow. Have a good night’s sleep,” Kenneth said.

*****

Because it was a truce, Cassandra packed her backpack and went out with Kenneth. They wouldn’tsucceed in their task if they didn’t do fieldwork.

They needed to know the situation of Clusians and civilian casualties.

Many people were left homeless after their homes were damaged by the blast. Refugees rushed intothe supermarket to snatch food. Bombs wounded children’s hands, but they were unable to get to thehospital for treatment.

Cassandra felt sad when she saw the scene. She suddenly felt proud of being a Clusian.

She walked in front of the injured child, examined him, and stopped the bleeding. Then she took out apill from her bag and fed the kid.

She couldn’t speak much of the local language, so she could only communicate with the child’s motherin broken sentences. She advised the mother to feed him with more water and pay attention to the childat night in case he had a fever.
