Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2237 - 2213: Parting in Death

Is the responsibility that cannot be avoided to relieve Jesse Lee’s pain and send him on his way with my own hands?

Gao Yang felt a bit dazed for a moment.

Jesse Lee did not speak, he just quietly looked at Gao Yang.

After a long time, Gao Yang finally lowered his head and said softly, "I’m sorry, I can’t do it."

Jesse Lee suddenly erupted. He was very weak, unable to even speak loudly, but he looked at Gao Yang with eyes full of disappointment and anger, speaking in bursts because of urgency, "You brought me here! As a mercenary, I don’t resent losing anything on the battlefield, but you brought me here! You’re my boss, you can’t just stand by and watch as I endure pain, then after enduring pain for so long, have to end it myself!"

Gao Yang shook his head, speaking softly, "Brother, I know it’s hard for you to accept who you are now, but we really still need you. You indeed cannot return to the battlefield, but your experience is our rarest resource. Our company needs you, brother, there’s much waiting for you to do after you heal."

Jesse Lee was filled with disappointment, speaking softly, "You’re too selfish, I was wrong about you, I’m really disappointed. You avoid your responsibility for a little personal sentiment. Go away, I want to be alone."

Gao Yang said with great difficulty, "I really can’t kill you with my own hands. I know you’re in pain, but I really can’t do it, brother. Everything will get better. I know you’re sad now, but endure it, it will soon get better."

Jesse Lee turned his head aside, he didn’t want to talk to Gao Yang anymore.

Gao Yang covered his forehead with his hand, speaking softly, "Don’t be like this, brother, you need to buck up a bit. We’re all waiting for you to come back. You can’t be like this, being like this only disappoints everyone. You’re a tough guy, you shouldn’t be knocked down like this."

Jesse Lee coldly said, "I thought over and over again for a long time. I think it’s time to end my life. Boss, if you’re still my boss, you should fulfill your responsibility. If you can’t shoot me, then at least order Andy to help me, give me an injection, let me peacefully die in my sleep. That’s your greatest mercy to me, instead of saying meaningless big words like a woman here."

Gao Yang took a deep breath, made up his mind, and said softly, "Have you really thought it over?"

Jesse Lee finally looked at Gao Yang again, speaking softly, "I’ve thought over countless times, Boss, I have decided, I want to die."

Gao Yang nodded to Jesse, saying, "Alright, I order it, I order Andy He to help you."

Jesse Lee’s mouth twitched and he said, "Thank you then, after I die, use my money to buy things and send it to the American Veterans Association, don’t just give money, give things. I know you don’t have the time to personally distribute it to the homeless veterans, that would indeed be too time-consuming."

Gao Yang nodded, speaking softly, "Got it, do you have any other last words?"

Jesse Lee gave a bitter smile and said, "No more, you actually are a good boss, unfortunately, I just have bad luck."

Gao Yang nodded, turned and left the room, closing the door behind him, and stared blankly.

Glolov said softly, "What happened?"

Gao Yang sighed helplessly, saying softly, "Jesse wants to die, didn’t you guys know?"

Glolov shook his head and said, "Didn’t know, he never mentioned it, but we could all see he was very downcast."

Gao Yang looked at Peter and said, "Your situation is similar to his, how did you get through it?"

Peter pounded his chest with his hand, speaking softly, "I’m a true warrior, confronting the most difficult life. I thought of dying, but I got through it. I think sharing experiences doesn’t help, it’s just relying on oneself, or time is the best cure."

Gao Yang exhaled and said, "I promised Jesse to let Andy He give him a death injection."

Andy He’s facial expression changed immediately, but he quickly shook his head, saying softly, "Alright, as a doctor, relieving the patient’s pain is also part of my duty, but is there really no way?"

Gao Yang raised his voice and said, "No way, Jesse is determined, you guys go in and say goodbye, the advantage of doing so is that we can still send him off one last time."

Everyone’s expressions were complex, shocked, helpless, painful, and angry at the unchangeable facts.

Gao Yang didn’t speak, he unleashed the door, speaking softly,"Go in and take a look, say goodbye, later there won’t be a chance."

Glolov stared at the open door for a moment, eventually nodded numbly, and spoke softly, "Alright then..."

Glolov was the first to go in, Frey looked at Gao Yang, and said softly,"Boss, can’t we..."

Gao Yang shook his head, saying, "There’s absolutely no way, go in."

Frey sighed as he went in, after everyone was inside, Gao Yang held back the going Andy He, and closed the door again, speaking softly, "What are you doing, don’t tell me you also want to just go in and say goodbye and then kill Jesse, right?"

Andy He looked puzzled and said, "You, what do you mean?"

Gao Yang spoke softly, "Give him an injection, just let him sleep soundly, that’s all. After dying once, people may change their minds. Many people regret suicide, they just need to calm down, maybe experiencing the feeling of death will work better."

Andy He pointed to the door, saying softly, "And you let everyone go inside, that way it’s harder for everyone."

Gao Yang said softly, "Idiot, are you stupid, don’t you understand this little psychological trick?"

Andy He suddenly realized, speaking, "I’m really stupid, if they knew your real approach... Understand, got it, I’ll go prepare now."

Why hide it from the others, that’s because everyone knowing the truth naturally means not being too sad, not too sad, means expressions are different, can’t create a farewell-to-the-death atmosphere, Jesse Lee then cannot feel the breath of death.

Andy He soon brought a syringe, nodding at Gao Yang, then he opened the door, let the others out, then looking at Jesse Lee, speaking with difficulty, "Brother, have you really thought it through?"

Jesse Lee breathed a few hurried breaths, then he took a long breath and said, "I’m ready, brother, thank you, hope it won’t leave you with painful memories, please remember, you’re helping me, thank you."

Andy He spoke softly, "Close your eyes, have a good journey, brother."

Jesse Lee closed his eyes, Andy He injected the substance into Jesse Lee’s neck, Jesse Lee spoke softly, "I won’t open my eyes, looking at the eyes of the dying feels uncomfortable, saying it one last time, thank you for helping me, thank you."
