Chapter 1279 Refuse to Accept the Fact
Cloud burst into tears. Looking at his mother’s unwillingness to accept the fact, he felt he owed his parents so much.
Hugh sat aside in a daze and could not say anything.
Bettany said, “Hey, what are you doing? Go and tidy up quickly! Cloud, why are you. kneeling? Get up to meet your leader! Bryson, Jonas, stand up. Anthony, Liam, didn’t you go. to work? Why are you back again?”
Bettany stood up and asked people to prepare tea while hugging Lilly. “What’s the matter, Lilly? What are you doing with your uncles today?”
Lilly could not help but cry. “Granny…”
Bettany’s fingers trembled slightly. She wanted to say something else and forced a smile, but she could not.
Blake stood behind Bettany at some point and pressed on her shoulders. The golden light flowed quietly to support Bettany.
Bettany turned around and saw someone from the military department coming in while. holding a black box. Inside was a set of bloody clothes.
They did not see Cloud, and Bettany only heard those few words.
“Comrade Cloud Crawford has been martyred….”
The surrounding sounds were noisy, including the teacup held by Margaret falling to the ground, everyone’s exclamations, and someone shouting, “Dad! Mom!”
Bettany’s ears buzzed, and she turned dully to look at Cloud, who was still beside her.
She suddenly laughed. “You all are joking, right? You’re playing a prank on me, aren’t you? Don’t make this joke next time…”
The comrades in the military department endured their sadness. Some even pressed their mouths hard for fear of crying out of control.
They saw Bettany talking with a smile and said they were joking with her.
here?
Her hands caressed her side in vain, and she forced a smile. “Isn’t Cloud here? You guys are talking nonsense.”
Several younger comrades could not help but cry. Bettany was devastated by the news of her son’s death.
They could endure the hail of bullets and the pain of injuries, but they could not bear the heart- wrenching pain.
“Mrs. Crawford!”
They wanted to say something, but Bettany’s gaze fell to the side and said, “Cloud. Your leaders and comrades are here. Why don’t you go to greet them? I’ll make some dishes. Let’s have a good meal with them!”
Cloud collapsed. Even if he became a ghost, he felt distressed to see Bettany’s desperate look.
He held his mother’s hand and said repeatedly, “Sorry, Mom, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have let you suffer!”
Bettany held his hand tightly, and her tears fell silently. She murmured, “Don’t say nonsense.”
Cloud had not sacrificed. He even celebrated the New Year with her two days ago. He was still fine, smiled at her, and talked with her for a few days.
However, Bettany was sober. She already had the ominous omen on New Year’s Eve but forcibly suppressed it. When the Woods family came over, Cloud said he had something to do and did not show up in front of anyone. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
How could she still be unclear?
“Cloud… Cloud!” Bettany burst into tears, but she did not make a sound. Instead, she smiled. “Cloud, what do you want to eat today? I’ll make it for you…”
Cloud collapsed and cried.
He knelt on the ground, hugged Bettany’s legs tightly, and said repeatedly, “Mom, I won’t go to reincarnation! I’ll always be with you…”
Lilly turned pale and stood aside blankly. She had practiced it thousands of times but was still not ready.
The elixir for Granny!
Lilly took it out in a panic and regretted not putting the elixir in Bettany’s meal or coaxing Bettany to eat it in advance. How could she forget it?
Lilly clutched the elixir tightly but no longer knew how to trick Bettany into taking it.
“Granny…” Lilly cried, hugged Bettany, buried her head in Bettany’s arms, and kept saying,
“Granny, don’t be like this. I’m scared…”
