Chapter 40
Ethan’s eyes were veiled with a faint after-fear, “Do you realize that if something had gone even slightly wrong, all the helicopters would have plummeted to their doom?”
With the turbulence so severe, a single slip from Madison, leading the formation, would have sent her helicopter spiraling, tangling the others in its wake before they all crashed to the ground or sea.
Madison, still clad in her pilot’s uniform, rested a hand on the helicopter’s wheel, her head tilted with a disarming laugh that betrayed a hint of scorn-
“Ethan, I’ve flown through two thunderstorms and a tsunami. A little wind and wave are nothing; they can’t keep me from bringing you back.”
Shock spread through Ethan’s heart.
First, because she said she had crossed through two thunderstorms
and a tsunami.
And second…
said she risked her life because she wanted to bring him back.
ou’re not a captain, are you?” Ethan deflected with a light-hearted question.
Madison lowered her gaze, her resolve faltering as she finally sat down, the tension returning full force now that they had safely landed.
“The first thunderstorm was with my grandfather; he was a military pilot. It was a performance training exercise, and because he was retiring, they allowed me to ride along for a look. That’s when
the thunderstorm hit. But by then, I had already learned to fly. It was just
my grandfather and me on the plane, and he had no choice but to let me assist him in piloting.”
“The second time, the captain was suddenly struck by an urgent
recurrence of an old illness, and as co-pilot, I had to ensure the safety of all the passengers on board. It turned out to be a close call without
incident.”
“As for the tsunami, I went through it with the captain at the time.”
It could be said that although Madison only had a little over two thousand hours of flight time, her experience was vast, enabling her to independently navigate through all kinds of severe weather
conditions.
“Miss Clark.”
“Miss Clark!”
At that moment, the staff from other airlines who had been rescued
all came over.
“Miss Clark, we really owe you this time! The captains said that if it weren’t for you bravely breaking the wind, we might not have been
able to make it back.”
Yes, you’re so young and yet so courageous, we are… truly in awe.”
The flight attendants, captains, and co-pilots all cast grateful glances toward Madison.
Madison stood up, clearly exhausted, but she said, “Don’t thank me. Thank my boss. If it weren’t for… Mukino Airlines providing me with a platform, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to reach Jingzhou today.”
Ethan was caught off guard as she directed all the credit to Mukino
Airlines.
For a moment, he was surrounded by people.
After slipping away from the crowd, Ethan saw that woman walking alone toward the distance.
Her solitary, slender silhouette inexplicably stirred a pang of sourness in Ethan’s heart.
He delegated the crowd to William and strode towards Madison’s
direction.
“Madison.”
Hearing her name, she turned around.
The next second, she was enveloped in an embrace, her eyes wide with surprise.
It was Ethan.
His embrace was usually polite, filled with encouragement and
warmth.
But this time, it was devoid of those niceties, replaced instead by a domineering force, even his strength seemed magnified.

“Huh? Are you going on a business trip? You can find other pilots to fly you there,” Madison assumed he was impatient for a pilot to take him on the helicopter.
But in reality…
This was the first time Ethan felt somewhat guilty.
He always acted openly and honestly.
Even when offending or retaliating against someone, he did so blatantly.
But this time…
He was anxious for her to finalize her divorce.
Finally, Ethan released her, his gaze unusually intense, almost overwhelmingly so.
“Train well, my contract is ready for you.”
