Chapter 031 Pity the world!
Clang!
The doorway opened and a soft, crisp sound rang out –
“Mom, I’m home.”
“Cillian, you’re back. Come on in, mommy wants to introduce you to a brother.” Marion smiled.
Then, a young girl in a blue and white school uniform walked in.
A white face with a bright and pure smile, as she walked in, so that the original dull and sad atmosphere in this room was swept away, the whole room in her smile rendered, it seems to brighten up.
“Mom, what brother?” The young girl asked, puzzled.
“Come, come, come over here.”
Marion smilingly pulled the young girl to Jason’s front and then said, “This is the Jason you’ve seen pictures of, and is none other than your brother’s comrade in the army. He has come to visit us.”
The young girl’s bright pupils stared at Jason, and then she smiled excitedly and said, “Wow, it’s really Jason. He looks even younger and more handsome than in the photo. By the way, Jason, you’re here, what about my brother? Is my brother back too? Where is he?”
Jason’s face was stunned as he looked at the young girl’s face that looked impatient in front of him and couldn’t help but say, “You’re Cillian, right? Your brother has often told me about you. Your brother he-”
“Cillian, Jason is the only one who came over this time. Your brother he, he didn’t have a vacation and didn’t come back.” Bradley interrupted Jason, then he looked at Jason and continued, “Jason, this is my daughter Cillian Page, she’s a senior this year and is already starting to prepare for her exams.”
Jason noticed Bradley giving him a secret wink as he spoke to him.
At that moment, Jason understood – Cillian didn’t know about her brother’s sacrifice!
Looking back at Bradley’s last words, Jason understood why the Bradleys had been hiding the truth from Cillian, who was a senior in high school and about to face the entrance exams.
In Dragon Shade, Jason had already heard Jimmy say many times that his sister’s grades were very good and she was basically number one in the whole school in exams.
The Bradleys deliberately concealed Jimmy’s sacrifice, fearing that it would affect Cillian’s academic performance.
In terms of Cillian’s deep sibling feelings for her brother, she really knows such news, the whole person will certainly collapse, under that kind of blow, will be devastated. That sudden grief came, if she has not been able to go out of the shadow of the heart, the grades fell a thousand or light, only afraid that she will not think.
Poor parents!
After thinking through all this, Jason looked at Bradley and Marion and just felt that it was really hard for them, on the one hand, to secretly suffer the pain of losing their son, and on the other hand, to act as if nothing was wrong in front of Cillian, which is really hard and can be very painful.
However, for the sake of their daughter’s future, they endured even the pain.
For a family like theirs, the best future for their daughter is to get into a good university. They have already lost a son, and if this ruins their daughter’s future again, I’m afraid they can’t forgive themselves.
This is a good intention, which also shows the greatness of parents.
Jason originally wondered why Jimmy’s effigy was not seen in the house, but now he understood it.
Of course, Bradley they were able to conceal the news, mainly because Jimmy was a Dragon Shade soldier, identity information is confidential. when Jimmy died, the relevant head of the National Military Department has called Bradley, and Jimmy’s body was also buried in the martyrs cemetery, and not sent back home for burial, which was able to conceal the Cillian.
“Cillian, I’m really sorry that your brother didn’t have a vacation, so I was the only one who came over. However, your brother did prepare some gifts for you and asked me to bring them back to you.” Jason smiled and told a good-natured lie.
Cillian’s white and pretty face immediately showed a look of disappointment as she pouted her lips and said, “Brother doesn’t have a vacation, huh? I haven’t even seen my brother for a long time, and I miss him very, very much.”
“Your brother misses you terribly, too. In the army, he said you were the one he loved the most.” Jason said with a smile.
Cillian nodded and couldn’t help but ask, “So where is my brother now, huh? Still in the army?”
Jason thought for a moment and said, “Your brother was sent abroad for a very important duty. Such an opportunity can be said to be one in a million, you see, I was not even chosen, but your brother was. So, you should be proud of your brother, he is very good, a real soldier! No matter where he is and how far away he goes, he will think of you.”
Cillian’s eyes crystalized and rose as she smiled and said, “My brother is so powerful, huh? When he goes abroad, won’t that be a long time?”
“Out of confidentiality, I don’t know much about it. But the assignments sent abroad are basically for more than a year and a half.” Jason said.
“It’s really been a long time …” Cillian’s cheeks were written with helplessness, and at the end she spread a smile and said, “Where’s the gift my brother gave me?”
“Here it is.”
Jason smiled and took out a bag with some girly accessories and some specialties and such.
These are the ones he bought, and he didn’t know how to give a little girl any gifts, so he simply bought some.
Before he came, he did not know that Cillian did not know that her brother died in the war, so in the end he also said that these gifts were bought by Jimmy to bring him over to Cillian.
I can see that Cillian likes it very much, even if it is a simple ornament, she also treats it like a treasure, so it is clear that in the heart, her brother’s position is extremely important.
Seeing this scene, Jason was filled with guilt again. This is a lively, kind and innocent young girl, and I wonder what her reaction will be one day after she knows the truth.
All Jason can do is to take Jimmy’s place, take care of Jimmy’s parents, and also protect the young girl in front of him so that she can grow up well.
Next, Cillian pestered Jason, constantly asking him about things in the army, learning about her brother’s performance in the army and so on.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
What he can say, Jason will try to say to Cillian.
The first thing you need to do is to tell Jimmy something about the training process, something trivial in your life, and so on. Of course, but all the issues related to confidential mission operations, he will not disclose half a word.
Cillian listened with rapt attention and a smile on her face the whole time.
Bradley and Marion looked at each other and both saw the glimmer of relief in their respective eyes.
“Geez, Bradley what time is it already? Haven’t made dinner yet! I’ll hurry up and cook right now.” Marion instantly reacted, hurriedly stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Bradley also stood up and he said, “Jason, let’s eat at home tonight. I’ll go out and get some food. You talk to Cillian first.”
“Uncle Bradley, there’s no need to buy any food, just some home-cooked food.” Jason said with a smile.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Bradley nodded his head repeatedly and was walking out as he spoke.
