Chapter 261 A Gathering of Old Friends 

As the old commander spoke, emotion welled up in his eyes. 

Whether he was looking back on old times or filled with profound regret, Milly got the impression that he genuinely missed his old friend. 

“For years, I’ve been on a quest to find her, desperate to tell her about our victory, yet she’s been nowhere to be found. 

“She gave me this Eagle Medal because she was worried about forgetting. She left it with me as a sign, a hint for the day she’d return, and a hope for my safety. I’ve kept this to myself, never sharing its real importance with anyone. It seems like fate that you brought it up today.” 

Milly’s heart raced. 

Despite never seeing the medal, she was inexplicably sure it was the Eagle Medal. The online information she found mentioned the team, not the medal. 

It felt as though… 

The knowledge had subtly planted itself in her mind. 

But why she felt so sure, she couldn’t quite articulate. 

Milly tried to speak, “Old Mr. Scathings, I …” 

But Thomas interrupted, “My dear, maybe this is meant to be. I’m leaving you with this medal, hoping destiny guides you to her.” 

He handed her the medal. 

It looked like an ordinary piece of iron but felt smooth from years of handling, with warmth as if still holding a human touch, making Milly’s palm tingle. 

Milly’s hand shook. The medal meant the world to Thomas. What was going on? Despite feeling it was meant for her, she questioned accepting it. 

“Old Mr. Scathings, this medal is too meaningful. I can’t take it. I’m a regular person and can’t hold onto such an h ur. If you really miss your friend, look for her yourself.”

Thomas looked at the medal, his eyes melancholy, but he didn’t withdraw it, 

Instead, he solemnly said, “At my age, I might not get another chance to find her. If you do, tell her it’s been too long.” 

“But….” 

As Milly hesitated, the medal in her hand flashed like a malfunctioning light flickering under the night sky. 

Milly and Thomas needed that short moment to see everything clearly beneath the night sky. 

Milly was taken aback, struggling to comprehend what she saw. She took another look. Could medals now come with a night mode? Or is there some switch or something? 

Standing beside her, Thomas was just as surprised and quickly looked at Milly, his eyes wide, reflecting a swirl of unclear emotions. 

Despite the lack of hostility in his look, his experiences from the war had honed a certain intensity in his gaze that was hard to miss. 

How long had it been? 

He couldn’t remember the last time he saw the medal glow.. 

When she had given it to him, she mentioned it would guide her back if she lost her way. She might forget, but the medal would always remember him. 

So, has he been waiting around all this time? 

Thomas smiled, his voice suddenly light, “Long time no see.” 

Milly was confused. “What?” 

Now, she was really thrown off, sensing something was off, but couldn’t quite figure out what it was. 

Didn’t Commander Scathings greet his old buddy with ‘Long time no see‘? Why’s he saying it as if he’s talking to himself now? And on a closer look, that medal wasn’t just any regular piece. 

Thinking about asking for some explanation, Milly looked up only to see Thomas had already left.

The bracelet, quiet for so long, started to shake violently out of nowhere. 

Medal and bracelet.

This time, Milly didn’t attempt to stop the shaking. Instead, she just watched it, deep in thought, trying to make sense of it. 

In her view, this world always felt like something straight out of a novel. She was convinced that everything around her was pre–written, as if everyone acted out their parts in a story, following a script to the letter. 

But was it really like that? 

She started feeling like many things were beginning to veer off from what she remembered in the story. The arrival of the bracelet, changes in the brothers, the monk, and now the medal … It all seemed to connect, yet it made zero sense. Who was actually behind all this? 

Was her showing up here changing things? 

If so, what did that mean for Milly? After all, she was in Milly’s body now, so what happened to the original Milly? And if this was all just one big story, when it all ends, what happens to everyone here, herself included? 

Was everything just a big mystery? 

It was the first day back at school in no time. 

Since Milly didn’t live on campus, she just had to show up to get registered. 

She wanted to complete all the paperwork today and return to her place, ready for classes tomorrow. 

But before she could even get out of her car, there was already a bit of a disagreement. 

Jordan was dressed to impress, in a sharp suit and tie, his hair perfectly done by a stylist that morning, looking every bit the part of a top executive. However, his expression had turned cold and unwelcoming. “Are you telling me I can’t come with you?” 

“Uh…”

Milly bit her lip and responded, “Jordan, we had a deal that you won’t reveal who I am. If you walk in with me, won’t that set off the alarm?” 

Jordan didn’t budge. “Can’t I just drop by your school for a business reason?” 

Milly stood her ground, “Sure, but let’s not walk in together. How about you head in first, and I’ll come in later?” 

Jordan wondered what the point would be if they couldn’t go in together 

Just then, Anthony caught wind of their talk and said eagerly, “Hey, Milly, since Jordan can’t go with you, how about I join you instead? Everyone knows I’m connected to the Burnetts.”
