LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the rain still hadn’t stopped. Mark Sutton waved his hand, and the fully armed special agents escorted the people of the two families away. Bella didn’t even put up much resistance.

However, her parents were terrified to the extreme. Especially Bella’s father, he was on the verge of wetting himself. Bella’s mother was also feeling dizzy from the fright. As his parents, they knew all too well what Edric had been up to over the years.

For the past seven years, Edric had secretly sold the national treasures stored in Chester Fortress. The profits he made were astronomical. Moreover, Edric had incited Hanh to murder Wilfrid Chester. If all his crimes were charged, no amount of executions would be enough for Edric.

Edric’s mother, Dahlia, had a character that had nothing to do with the qualities her name implied. She had her fair share of overbearing days in the city. Now, with the impending trouble she was about to face, she would certainly become the laughing stock among those rich ladies.

Dahlia suppressed her panic and shook Bella, whose face was covered in tears. “Bella, say something! What are we going to do now? What will happen if something happens to your brother?!”

“That’s right, didn’t you say that Lyvia had already woken up and was here? Call her now!” Dahlia continued, “She has a son with Jun Chester, just ask her for help. If she could talk to Jun Chester, he might spare your brother!”

Bella’s pale face turned a bit grim. “I would rather die than call that despicable woman!”

“And have you been scared out of your wits? That despicable woman has been in a coma for seven years and just woke up. How could she use a cell phone?!”

Dahlia cried and complained. “What is it with you now? Do you really want to do this?! Why don’t you call the hospital and see if we can get in touch with Lyvia? In any case, we can’t be taken to the Special Security Agency today, or it’s all over!”

Bella slammed her fist on the car seat. “Shut up! Let me think!”

Dahlia was scared into silence. Although Bella’s father was already frightened out of his wits, he still managed to speak up and advised Bella. “Bella, make the call, call your sister. It’s our lives at stake.”

Bella was trembling with anger. “I’ve already said, I’d rather die than make that call!”

However, Bella soon regretted saying those words. Although she didn’t call Lyvia, she did try to call some of the most famous lawyers in the city. The result was that none of them answered her calls.

It wasn’t until the vehicles were about to arrive at the Special Security Agency that Bella reluctantly called the city hospital. The response she got was that Lyvia had already been discharged, and they couldn’t find her.

Bella was completely panicked. She suddenly screamed.

“I want to see Jun Chester! I want to see Jun Chester!”

Of course, no one heard her words. At that time, Jun Chester had already carried the coffin away. On the east side of Chester Cemetery, there was a lush green hill. The top of the hill was covered with blossoming peach trees.

Deep in the peach orchard, Jun Chester stood under the most luxuriant peach tree. He put the stone coffin down, then took a shovel from Dawson London and dug three meters into the ground. After burying the coffin, Jun Chester erected a tombstone in front of the grave. He lowered his head.

Behind Jun Chester were arrays of soldiers dressed in their military uniforms. They lowered their heads as well. Blake Charlton was naturally present, but his face was no longer playful and had become solemn. Like Jun Chester, Blake Charlton lowered his head and, after a brief silence, turned to look into the distance.

Nearly 30, 000 soldiers, in a square formation, all bowed their heads! Colbert Osborn, Dawson London, and other generals also bowed their heads! What Blake Charlton saw were not only these people but also their brotherly bond!

Jun Chester looked at these men in military uniforms and couldn’t help but be moved. “Seven years, and you are still the same. I feel honored to have experienced so many battlefields with you back then!”

Tears fell from Colbert Osborn’s eyes. “Now, in these peaceful times, we can no longer return to the past, to the days when we fought side by side!”

Jun Chester glanced at Colbert Osborn. “Lift your heads.”

Colbert Osborn and all his troops raised their heads in unison. Jun Chester spoke again. “Although there are no more wars, you are still protecting our country. Go back.”

Everyone remained silent for a long time. Colbert Osborn finally spoke. “What about you?”

Without hesitation, Jun Chester pointed at the ground and said only one sentence. “I am here, and I will always be here.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Colbert Osborn finally showed a smile. In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted, “Lord Chester, we heard that you have a child, but it seems you and your wife haven’t had an official wedding yet. When can we expect your wedding?”

At that, everyone in the peach orchard burst into laughter. Jun Chester also suddenly smiled. “Of course, I will let you know. We will have a big wedding then. But remember, just bring your mouths, no need for gifts!”

Dawson London suddenly interrupted. “How can that be? I’ll make a list of our gifts. Don’t worry, my family has enough money!”

Jun Chester pointed at Dawson London and laughed.

A moment later, the crowd finally dispersed and left the cemetery. Jun Chester walked down the hill, followed by a bare-chested and dispirited Blake Charlton. Chilling raindrops fell on Blake Charlton’s body. He raised his hand to scratch his back, and he looked just terrible.

“Lord Chester, please forgive me this time. I’ve been old and confused,” he pleaded. Jun Chester hesitated for a moment before asking, “Why did you take Bella as your goddaughter?”

Blake Charlton’s face turned red. “Bella is my youngest daughter’s friend, and she has helped our family a lot over the years. But I admit, I… I was careless!”

Jun Chester frowned. “Your youngest daughter? You have another daughter at eighty?”

Blake Charlton sighed. “What can I say? I was seventy when I remarried, but you know, I was still quite strong. And of course, my wife wasn’t a young girl either; she was already forty when we got married. We had a daughter when she was fifty. At first, I refused but she insisted. You know how it is, right? She almost turned our house upside down. My heart really couldn’t take it.”

“Lord Chester, I heard that you’ve already waken up Miss Lyvia here. It’s amazing, you know, really amazing. Can you help me? Lately, I can’t sleep, and because I can’t sleep, I have no energy. I feel like I’m about to die. Can you give me a few more years? I really can’t die. I’ve worked hard all my life and haven’t enjoyed it much. I can’t just…”

Unable to tolerate Blake Charlton’s rambling any longer, Jun Chester gently tapped the ground with his toes and disappeared from his sight. The scene nearly scared Blake Charlton to death.

At eight o’clock that night, Jun Chester went to the shrine of the Chester family for his mother Iris’s tombstone. But as he just crossed the gate outside the shrine, he saw Bella kneeling at the door with her daughter Ann beside her. Bella was angrily slapping Ann while scolding her harshly.

“Cry, that’s all you need to do! The louder you cry, the safer your mother will be! Otherwise, your damned brother will beat me to death!”

“What’s wrong with you? Don’t you usually like to cry?” As Bella spoke, she slapped Ann even harder.

It was because of this slap that Ann finally burst into tears. She reflexively covered her ears. Blood flowed from Ann’s ears.
