Chapter 1280

Chapter 1280 I Lost Cloud Jean floated aside and cried uncontrollably but did not dare to make a sound. “Mom, you have Lilly. I’m here. We’re all here. We’ll always be here…”

Bettany suddenly came to her senses. She heard Lilly crying. Lilly was scared.

She hugged Lilly tightly and finally could not help but cry.

Bettany bent deeply and cried loudly. “Lilly, I don’t have Cloud anymore! Cloud can no longer come back to me alive! I lost Cloud…” D Cloud was like the morning glow beside the clouds. It once appeared so brilliantly, full of vitality and hope, but soon disappeared from the world. She would never see that morning glow again.

She named him Cloud because she wanted him to be like the morning glow.

When he was a child, he signed up for school. The teacher pronounced his name wrong. Bettany would correct the teacher and say it was Cloud instead of Claud.

Later, as he grew older, she no longer corrected his name with others. She laughed it off when others pronounced him Claud, and she made it clear that it did not matter whether they pronounced him Claud or Cloud.

However, she would not get another chance to correct his name again.

She regretted why she did not correct it a few more times.

“Cloud won’t come back anymore…” Bettany cried uncontrollably.

Everyone’s eyes were reddish, and they were holding back their cries. They were afraid when Bettany did not cry, but they worried when she cried.

They were afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions. What if she fell ill and could not afford it?

Cloud kept gulping, and his throat seemed stuck. He could only cry.

He saw the elixir clenched tightly in Lilly’s hand. He suppressed his tears and said, “Mom, I want to eat candy.”

Bettany burst into tears and said repeatedly, “Eat candy, okay… Cloud wants to eat candy”

It must have been hard for Cloud when he was outside. Did it hurt when he died? When he was a child, he was most afraid of pain. She would give him candy to coax him when he got a 13 D vaccination.

“Candy…” Bettany looked for candy in a panic.

Lilly quickly poured out all the elixirs and said, “Granny, I have candy…”

Bettany quickly grabbed it and said, “Okay, candy is here…”

Seeing Bettany talking to herself, the people in the military department could not bear it anymore and temporarily retreated outside to wipe their tears.

Bettany gave Cloud the elixir and said, “Eat it. You won’t hurt anymore.”

Cloud smiled. “I want you to eat candy with me.”

Bettany nodded repeatedly, grabbed the elixir, and put it into her mouth.

The elixir melted instantly. Bettany could not taste the sweetness, but her attention was not on it now.

She did not notice why the candy disappeared after entering her mouth and even forgot when she swallowed it.

She pulled Cloud up. While tidying up his military uniform, she kept telling him, “Pay more attention on the road. Get there early. Don’t worry about me too much. I’ll be fine. After you settle everything, remember to come to my dream to tell me what you want to eat…”

Bettany wished Cloud not to forget her if he went to reincarnation again. But after reincarnation, how could she still be his mother? How could she make her son difficult and ask him to remember her?

Bettany could not help but cry while admonishing Cloud.

Cloud said sadly, “Mom, I won’t leave. I’ll come back to see you often…”

Bettany only nodded. “Okay…”

She did not dare to ask for anything. After death, the Hell Ruler would be in charge. There were rules everywhere. If Cloud could return casually, the mortal world and underworld. would not exist.

Anthony was outside talking to people from the military department to know when they would pick up Cloud’s body and bury it.

Hugh stood behind Anthony at some point as if losing all the spirit while listening silently to Cloud’s burial arrangements.

Edward had been stunned at the door for a long time and never returned to his senses He was dumbly listening to Bettany cry, watching Anthony arrange Cloud’s funeral with the C military department, watching the sorrow Hugh listened to the conversation.

Liam stepped forward to support Hugh. “Dad, go back first. We can do it.”

Hugh shook his head. “I’m fine. Your mom can’t take charge of these things…”

The howling wind and snow drowned out Hugh’s voice. It also overwhelmed Gilbert and Max, who were standing outside the door. Their hands and feet were cold, and they felt lik they had fallen into the abyss.
