Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Ivan said, “Can we visit the Crawford family to celebrate the New Year after the holidays?”

Colton hesitated for a moment and sighed. Then, he said, “Maybe next time, Ivan. The Crawford family might not be in a convenient situation this year.”

Ivan found it strange and asked, “Why?”

Colton’s voice was heavy as he replied, “Cloud had sacrificed himself during a mission abroad.”

Ivan was stunned. I could not believe it! It was so sudden and hard to accept!

“Did

Colton shook his head and said, “Just him.”

Melody was shocked and quickly asked, “Why only him? I didn’t mean that. I meant…” She did not know what to say, feeling overwhelmed.

Colton explained, “The mission was very dangerous, with various factions in conflict, and not everyone supported our country.”

“However, Cloud was incredibly brave. He ensured the safe return of everyone and was the last one to withdraw.”

“Everyone had witnessed him creating one miracle after another, and they firmly believed he would make it out safely.”

“But no one could have expected that he would fall in the final round of attack.”

As Melody listened, she felt her nose tingle and her eyes well up with tears.
