Chapter 1370
Chapter 1370 Thank You
When Carmen burst into tears, so did Sophia. Michael hugged the both of them, tears gathering in his
eyes. Just moments ago, he had been paralyzed by an unimaginable fear that he would never see
Carmen alive again. He was still consumed by the fear even now. Turning toward Bailey, who was
about to leave, he said, “Thank you.”
This fourteen-year-old—no, he was already a fifteen-year-old man—suddenly became more favorable
in Michael’s eyes. If it were not for Bailey, rescuing Lorelei and Carmen would have required far more
effort. I’m sure Carmen and Lorelei had a hard time with those crazy twins around.
Bailey didn’t even bother to turn around as he condescendingly answered, “I don’t talk to youngsters.
Let the elders in your familye to me.”
If it wasn’t for the circumstances preventing Michael from hitting Bailey, he would have done so in a
heartbeat.
Meanwhile, Lorelei threw herself into Joel’s arms. Although she wasn’t crying as hard as Carmen, he
could tell that she had experienced a huge scare. Her entire body trembled as she fearfully told him,
“Daddy, I killed somebody!”
She was afraid that she would be sent away because she killed somebody. She thought she would be
sent back to that gloomy ce where the sun could not reach—the ce where she had to kill just to
survive each day. I love the Fletcher Family. I don’t want to leave. I love my daddy and mommy; I love
my brother. I don’t want to leave. She grasped the corner of Joel’s clothes tightly.
At the same time, Ryan was carried out of the Yard Residence. They probably wanted to send him for
emergency treatment. Unfortunately, his body had gone cold a long time ago. His neck had been
broken, and he died on the spot.
Jordan stepped forward and lifted the bed sheet covering Ryan’s body. Ryan’s eyes were gazing
nkly into the sky. The savage and triumphant expression on his face had yet to disappear from when
he was killed. Jordan’s hands shook and he lost grip of the bedsheet. My son! The son I devoted all my
efforts into raising! Why is he nothing but a corpse now?! Who did this?! The look in his eyes looked
like a volcano that was about to erupt. Sweeping his gaze across the venue, he saw that everybody
else seemed to be happy about the news of Ryan’s death.
When Sophia saw the corpse, she hurriedly buried Carmen’s face in her chest. She did not want
Carmen to see that terrifying scene. Fortunately, Carmen was still crying. She experienced the greatest
scare of her life when Bailey was carrying her out of the Yard Residence. Even so, she desperately
stopped herself from crying at the time. It had not been easy for her.
On the other hand, Joel nced at Ryan’s corpse before ncing back at Lorelei, who looked
extremely nervous. He seemed to understand the situation. Ruffling Lorelei’s messy hair, he said in a
low voice, “L, he deserved to die. You protected your sister. You did a great job!”
Despite his reassurance, Lorelei had an expression of horror on her face as she was taken away by
Maddie, who had rushed over to the scene.
Afterward, Joel confiscated all of the Yard Family’s guns. He turned to Jordan and said, “Mr. Edwards, I
will honor my promise with you since the children have been returned. I have prepared the
transportation for your sons to the airport. Please,e this way.”
After saying that, he drove a military truck over. Regardless of whether Jordan was willing or not, he
stuffed all the Yard Family’s men into the truck. Even Ryan, who was dead, was carried into the truck
without further ado.
Jordan smiled mechanically. “I don’t think the weather today is suitable for flying. Why not postpone it
until tomorrow instead?”
He had a feeling that the Fletcher Family was not going to let them leave Cethos that easily.
Joel lifted his head to look at the sky. “On the contrary, the weather seems great to me. Besides, it’s a
good day for traveling ording to the almanac of the day.” Following that, he ‘invited’ all the men of
the Yard Family, including Henry, into the car without any regard for whether Jordan was willing to
comply or not.
Henry was still screaming. Jordan was about to say something when Joel turned around with a gun in
his hands. The gun was aimed directly at Jordan, and his finger was on the trigger. He continued to
smile as he said, “Your son is about to travel to a far-offnd. It’s a very long journey; I wonder if you
have anything to say to your son, Mr. Edwards?”
Jordan seemed to understand the meaning behind those words. He red at Joel as well as the rest of
the men standing beside him. Still, ring was a meaningless gesture. He knew that everything was in
the Fletcher Family’s hands now. At the very least, he could do nothing to them today as his side was
in the wrong. ring at Joel fiercely, his eyes were filled with hostility. He smiled coldly. “Thank you for
the reminder.”
Then, he walked over to Henry. He first nced at Ryan, who was dead, before turning to look at
Henry. Henry had not received any treatment despite being shot in the leg. Therefore, blood was still
gushing out. It hurt so much that he was grinning maniacally. When he saw Jordan walking over to him,
he roared in tears, “Dad, it hurts so bad! They killed Ryan!”
After losing his son, Jordan seemed to have aged overnight. Looking at his son, he quietly said, “I
know; I know. Take good care of yourself when you arrive. I’m getting old. I can’t take care of you
forever.”
Henry continued to scream and cry. “I will never forgive you! The Fletcher Family and the Mitchell
Family can all go to hell! I’m going to kill all of you!”Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
Jordan shook his head and hardened his heart. “Get into the car.”
After that, Henry was helped into the military truck while Jordan watched. All of a sudden, a gunshot
rang out and a bullet prated Henry’s thigh. Henry copsed to the ground after being shot in the
thigh and prostrated himself in Michael’s direction. Hey on the ground screaming and crying as blood
sttered everywhere. Standing in front of him, Michael put his gun away and smiled darkly. “I’m sorry.
My gun misfired.”
However, Sophia, who was standing next to him, had already covered Carmen’s ears in advance.
Henry’s blood spilled all over the ground. Following that, he was carried into the truck, and everybody
in the truck was hauled away. It was a grand procession as military vehicles cleared the road in
advance and sealed the road to the airport for their special use. Joel delivered the Yard Family to the
airport and ensured that they boarded the ne heading toward Ronney City.
After the incident, the army surrounding the Yard Residence gradually withdrew. Meanwhile, Jordan
took Ryan’s corpse away for disposal.
When Anne learned that Cooper had arrived, she got dressed and came out to see. However, she only
caught a glimpse of his solemn figure. He had already gotten into his car and left in a hurry. Even so,
she smiled in satisfaction. I protected Cooper’s granddaughter! Even if he will never know about it…
Carmen continued crying even after she arrived home. She sobbinglyined about the bad guys
that kidnapped her, as well as her uncle and her brother that had been beaten so badly that they cried.
While wiping away her tears, she opened her little bag and took out everything inside. She had thrown
out all her daily necessities and filled it up with souvenirs from the farm. “This eggnt is for Mommy!
These are the cherries I brought back for Grandpa… but they’ve been smashed… Sob.”
Everybody felt their hearts breaking as they watched Carmen crying while handing out souvenirs. After
she finished handing out the souvenirs, she quietly set aside some of the most beautiful apricots. She
was reluctant to eat them and nobody knew who she nned to give them to.
