Chapter 92 Julius Arrived
s
Quinn knew that the nation hadn’t forgotten her parents. It was why they were negotiating on multiple fronts, striving to bring her parents‘ ashes back home, despite the challenges.
It was their ultimate wish that her parents could finally rest in peace in Yarburn.
“Let’s apany your parents to the Hero’s Memorial Garden,” suggested the official.
Quinn nodded in agreement.
She boarded the car, cradling her parents‘ urns. Apanying her were her parents‘ oldrades, who had made the effort to travel to Yarburn for the funeral, and also Han and Laura.
As Quinn settled into the car, she saw Julius through the window.
Julius stood amidst the crowd, donned in a sleek ck suit, his face serious.
Their gazes met, separated only by the car window ss.
As he had promised, he came to bid her parents farewell.
At that moment, a feeling surged within Quinn, one she couldn’t describe.
When she first met Julius, she thought he was difficult to figure out and temperamental. He had a deadly and silent vibe to him, but he always treated her parents with utmost respect, which gradually revealed to her another side of him.
The car started up, gradually pulling away from the Bridger family’s ancestral hall.
Quinn observed the passersby along the way. It seemed that many of them understood what had happened at the ancestral hall. At that moment, they all paused, watching the departure of the vehicle.
Quinn felt as though the mist in her eyes was about to transform into a warm stream flowing down her face.
Those people were also there to bid her parents farewell as a show of respect for the fallen heroes.
The car had driven all the way to the Hero’s Memorial Garden, where staff members were already waiting at the entrance.
The funeral ceremony was solemn and dignified.
Four soldiers gently ced the cremation urn into the grave.
With her parents‘ portrait clutched in her hands, Quinn followed behind.
Members of the Bridger family, government officials, and military personnel followed behind Quinn for the funeral procession. Meanwhile, Laura, Han, and Julius trailed a bit further behind.
Laura was surprised to see Julius at the funeral, especially that he was willing to stay in an inconspicuous
corner.
She thought that, given Julius‘ status and position, if he were to attend a funeral, he ought to be at the forefront, not in such a back position. It was as if his attendance at the funeral was not for any personal gain <i>or </i>to garner any fame, but was only to bid Quinn’s parents farewell.
As far as Laura knew, Julius and Quinn had only recently be acquainted, so she didn’t know why he was willing to do such a thing. <i>Is </i><i>it </i><i>because </i><i>Quinn’s </i><i>parents </i><i>were </i><i>fallen </i><i>heroes</i>? <i>Or </i><i>is </i><i>it </i><i>because </i><i>of </i><i>something </i><i>else</i><i>? </i>
Once again, Laura couldn’t help but nce toward Julius. She saw that at that moment, his eyes were fixed on Quinn.
His eyes, usually scary, were filled with an intense focus. It was as if, in his gaze, there was only Quinn.
Laura was bewildered. <i>Does </i><i>Julius </i><i>like </i><i>Quinnie</i><i>? </i><i>Given </i><i>the </i><i>rumors </i><i>around </i><i>him </i><i>in </i><i>Jexburgh</i><i>, </i><i>no </i>one <i>knows </i><i>what </i>it’ll <i>be </i>like <i>for </i><i>him </i><i>to </i><i>fall </i><i>in </i><i>love </i><i>with </i><i>a </i><i>woman</i><i>. </i><i>If </i><i>Quinnie </i><i>doesn’t </i><i>like him</i><i>… </i>
Laura suddenly shivered, too afraid to continue the thought.
The national g was draped over the urn!
There was also a bullet pendant, ced right next to the urn.
As Quinn looked at the bullet pendant, her eyes welled up with tears. It was a cherished memento of her parents, a keepsake she had nned to bury with their urn.
Back then, Montague was shot in an ident. Everyone thought he wouldn’t make it, but Arlene refused to give up. She personally performed surgery on him, removing the bullet amidst the harsh conditions on the scene.
From then on, Montague often said that his life was given to him by Arlene. Thus, in the future, his life would belong not only to the country but also to Arlene.
Quinn once heard hermander mention that when her parents met their end overseas, in the face of danger, Montague had held Arlene tightly. In the end, they both died together in gunfire.
Just as he had once promised, Montague truly gave his life not only to the country but also to Arlene.
The ceremonial troops standing on both sides raised their long rifles, firing into the air as a salute!
Seven gunshots rang out, as if they were saying, “The heroes have returned!”
Tears finally escaped from Quinn’s eyes, rolling down her cheeks uncontrobly. <i>Dad</i><i>, </i><i>Mom</i><i>, </i><i>you </i><i>can </i><i>finally </i><i>rest </i>in <i>peace</i><i>! </i>
Once all the funeral rites were over, Quinn, despite her heartache, took the time to interact individually with the officials from Yarburn, as well as the oldrades of her parents.
