Chapter 1269 Sorry, Lilly NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Lilly opened the front door. The cold outside was a harsh contrast to the warmth within the

house.

The blizzard grew heavier. It was hard to even walk now.

Tears welled up in Lilly’s eyes. “Uncle Cloud…” she called out softly.

“Uncle Cloud, why are you hiding here? Are you planning to give all of us a surprise? Everyone…. Everyone’s waiting for you.”

As Lilly spoke, tears began to fall. They fell to the ground and made little holes in the show.

Cloud was dressed in his military uniform, but it was covered in mud and blood.

He was trying his best to clean his wounded face, and he put his charred cap into the bag.

He wanted to look his best in front of his family…

Lilly remembered the young man who had eaten buffalo wings. Her uncle looked so mature in the military uniform, but he would not grow older anymore.

“Uncle Cloud!” Lilly was sobbing. As much as she tried, she could not stop her voice from shaking.

She hugged the frail man, but she dared not cry out loud. Instead, she kept on asking. questions.

“Why are you so late, Uncle Cloud?”

“Was it cold on the way back, Uncle Cloud?”

“Are you hungry, Uncle Cloud?”

Cloud lowered his head dejectedly, at a loss for what to do. A long time later, he hugged Lilly with trembling hands.

“I’m sorry, Lilly. I didn’t manage to bring you presents.”

Lilly shook her head but said nothing. She allowed her tears to fall freely onto the snowy ground.

She was used to seeing separation, but this separation was her own.

Cloud sighed and tried to comfort Lilly. “Well, you know, I’m a soldier…”

A soldier’s duty was to protect the country.

“After completing the undercover mission, I can return to the system. I’ll have to rejoin the main team before coming home though,” Cloud smiled dejectedly.

He didn’t need to hide his identity anymore. He could meet his family and friends, and they could ask him for help whenever needed.

His next post would be in Clodston, not far away from home. His merits in battle ensured him a hopeful future.

“The country I was in was not very stable. For the past half a year, I was tasked to maintain. the peace. A few days ago, I was making my last patrol before packing my bags and coming. home for Christmas. I’ve already bought the flight ticket. I was thinking if I could catch Bryson’s flight, but he flew home earlier than I did.”

Cloud was smiling, but Lilly felt horrible.

“Why didn’t you hide, Uncle Cloud? You could’ve dodged…” Lilly asked the question she already knew the answer to.

Cloud hugged her and patted her back. “This is my duty. No one expected the terrorists to attack. The embassy had to evacuate our countrymen. They want to go home for Christmas

too.”

“Where’s the good luck bracelet I gave you?” Lilly asked.

“The charms you gave were very useful!” Cloud said excitedly. “If not for them, I wouldn’t have been able to evacuate everyone successfully! You know, I was a hero back then! I charged into the terrorists’ base like Rambo. You can’t imagine how frightened they were. They fired a bullet at my head. That should’ve killed me, but I sprang back to life! They fired again, and… I stood up again! Bang! Bang! Bang! They thought they had won, but I stood up for a third time!”

Cloud was so proud of himself for what he had done. Lilly could not hold her tears back. He could have remained safe, but he chose to charge at the forefront.

He could have come home and reunited with his family. Hundreds of his countrymen. returned, but he didn’t.

That was his duty.

“Uncle Cloud, weren’t you afraid?” Lilly hugged him tightly.

“Phew! Well, I was afraid, but I’m more afraid that your Granny might be sad,” he said. “I was

afraid of traveling home alone too. I didn’t want to miss the occasion…”

He couldn’t wait for his body to be tra

To arrive home by Christmas Fee, he crossed the ocean and many mountain ranges that separated them, hoping that he was traveling in the right direction

Finally, he was here
