Chapter 1279
Spoiled (Lily)
Chapter 1279 Refuse to Accept the Fact Cloud burst into tears. Looking at his motherâs 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, âHey, 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, didnât you go. to work? Why are you back again?â
Bettany stood up and asked people to prepare tea while hugging Lilly. âWhatâs the matter, Lilly? What are you doing with your uncles today?â
Lilly could not help but cry. âGrannyâ¦â
Bettanyâs 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.
âComrade Cloud Crawford has been martyredâ¦.â
The surrounding sounds were noisy, including the teacup held by Margaret falling to the ground, everyoneâs exclamations, and someone shouting, âDad! Mom!â
Bettanyâs ears buzzed, and she turned dully to look at Cloud, who was still beside her.
She suddenly laughed. âYou all are joking, right? Youâre playing a prank on me, arenât you? Donât make this joke next timeâ¦â
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. âIsnât Cloud here? You guys are talking nonsense.â
13 Several younger comrades could not help but cry. Bettany was devastated by the news of her sonâs death.
They could endure the hail of bullets and the pain of injuries, but they could not bear the heart-
wrenching pain.
âMrs. Crawford!â
They wanted to say something, but Bettanyâs gaze fell to the side and said, âCloud. Your leaders and comrades are here. Why donât you go to greet them? Iâll make some dishes. Letâs have a good meal with them!â
Cloud collapsed. Even if he became a ghost, he felt distressed to see Bettanyâs desperate look.
He held his motherâs hand and said repeatedly, âSorry, Mom, I was wrong! I shouldnât have let you suffer!â
Bettany held his hand tightly, and her tears fell silently. She murmured, âDonât say nonsense.â
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 Yearâs 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.
How could she still be unclear?
âCloud⦠Cloud!â Bettany burst into tears, but she did not make a sound. Instead, she smiled. âCloud, what do you want to eat today? Iâll make it for youâ¦â
Cloud collapsed and cried.
He knelt on the ground, hugged Bettanyâs legs tightly, and said repeatedly, âMom, I wonât go to reincarnation! Iâll always be with youâ¦â
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 Bettanyâs 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.
âGrannyâ¦â Lilly cried, hugged Bettany, buried her head in Bettanyâs arms, and kept saying, âGranny, donât be like this. Iâm scaredâ¦â
