Chapter 1714


    In Chatterton Town.


    In a graveyard.


    "Salute!"


    As the deep and somber male voice sounded, all the people present raised their hands and did a


    military salute.


    It was the highest honor for their heroes.


    After the ceremony.


    Having put on a strong front for such a long time, Mia finally couldn''t hold herself back anymore.


    Tears rolled down her face. Her body went weak and she slumped down with a thud. She wanted to


    ask Levi how he could bear to leave her alone. However, her heart ached so much that she couldn''t


    even utter a single word although it was on the tip of her tongue.


    Neil tried to pull her up but she shook off his arm as soon as he touched her.


    Neil wanted to say something else, but he too could not say a word. He only felt a wave of


    bitterness surging out of his heart. He could only swallow it back into his stomach.

    Levi was the only son he had with Mia, the son she gave birth to for him after ten months of


    pregnancy. He still remembered the day Levi was born. Mia had said to him proudly, "Neil, we have


    a new member in the Brown family!"


    He had told Mia more than once that it didn''t matter whether they had a child or not. It wasn''t like


    they were a royal family that needed an heir. As long as Mia was happy andfortable, everything


    would be fine.


    However, Mia, who had always been strong-minded, was very persistent about the matter. She had


    always said that she wanted to give birth to a child for the Brown family to carry on the lineage, but


    he understood that what she wanted was to have a child with him.


    "Mia..." Karen went to Mia''s side and called out her name softly. She didn''t say anything else. She


    just hugged Mia and patted her back gently.


    The crudest thing in the world was to lose one''s child. Back then, the pain Karen experienced when


    she had a miscarriage was heart-wrenching, let alone Mia who had just lost her child that she had


    raised for more than twenty years.


    Levi was in his prime of his life. His life had just begun for real, but fate had made it stop cruelly.


    He could no longer see how bright the sun was at this moment and how beautiful the starry sky at


    night was. He could not even marry his beloved and give her a good future.


    Thinking about all of that, Karen held Mia tighter. She wanted to help her relieve a bit of her pain so


    badly, but she couldn''t do anything about it.


    Monique stood in front of the tombstone with a straight posture. She did not shed a single tear. It


    showed the indomitableness of a soldier, the epitome of perfection.


    That day, she managed to meet Martin before 8 o''clock in the morning because Levi had fended off


    the enemy for her. After handing over the criminals to Martin, she had been eager to go back to look


    for Levi. However, before she got into the car, she saw an SUV speeding toward her.


    The car stopped a few dozen meters before her.


    She looked over and saw that the person sitting in the driver''s seat was Levi.


    "Levi!" Monique yelled his name. Her face, which had just broken out into a smile, changed instantly


    when she saw how bloodied his face was. "You..."


    She ran over as if she had gone mad.


    Levi opened the car door and stumbled out of the car. He looked at her and raised the corners of his


    bloody lips slowly in a smile, saying, "Monique, I promised you that I woulde back alive to see


    you."


    "Stop talking. Let''s go to the hospital now," Monique stopped him. She wanted to hold him, but his


    body was riddled with wounds. There was not an inch of unwounded skin on his body, and there


    was even a piece of flesh hanging from his arm. She dared not hold him, for fear of aggravating his


    wounds.


    "No..." Levi refused. He grabbed her with his bloody hands, gulped down his saliva, and said with


    difficulty, "Monique, I still have something to say to you."


    "Stop talking. I''ll stop the bleeding for you first," Monique stopped him from talking again. She forced


    herself to calm down but she still couldn''t help trembling when she held his hands. She was so


    anxious that she burst into tears. "Levi, Martin has a medical team with him. Let''s go and find them


    now."


    He shook his head. He wanted to stand up straight but he had no strength. He could only lean on


    her. He leaned against her and said, "Monique, actually, I didn''t really like you."


    "What are you talking about? Don''t talk nonsense. I''ll take you to the doctor now," Monique yelled


    and tried to pick him up. However, he was much taller than her. She couldn''t move him at all. She


    wanted to carry him but he refused.


    He took a deep breath and said, "Monique, the reason I pursued you was because you did not


    obsess with me like the other girls did. You always opposed me, which piqued my interest in you.


    Therefore, I thought about conquering you. Going back to Chatterton Town and marrying you after


    aplishing the mission- that was all a joke. I really don''t like an ordinary girl like you. You''re not


    worthy of me."


    He enunciated each word slowly as if he had used up all his strength. Then, he slowly let go of her


    hand and said again, "Monique, you must remember that from now on, you and I have nothing to do


    with each other."


    "Levi, I told you not to talk nonsense. You promised to marry me when you returned to Chatterton


    Town. You are not allowed to break your promise. Otherwise, you''ll never get rid of me in your next


    life," Monique rebuked him. Tears flowed down her eyes like rain, dripping on his face. However,


    Levi had no strength to hold on anymore. He slowly closed his eyes in her arms and said, "Monique,


    I don''t like you..."


    "I don''t like you!"


    Thest words he told her, in thest moment of his life, was those four words.


    How could Monique not understand his intention?


    Levi was not only willing to give up his life to save her, but was also thinking of her future in hisst


    moments.


    But why didn''t he realize that without him in the future, there would be no man who would dote on


    her, protect her, and spoil her again like he did...


    She only wanted him.


    Only Levi Brown.


    She held the wounded Levi tightly in her arms and cried out in grief as if her heart was ripping apart,


    "Levi, wake up! Come back! You said that you''ll marry me when we return to Chatterton Town after


    aplishing the mission. You have to keep your promise!"


    On the day when they received the mission, he said to her that he would report to the superiors


    about their wedding when he returned to Chatterton Town after their mission was done. She still


    remembered clearly how high- spirited he was when he spoke that day.


    He was Levi, the one that attracted the attention of countless girls wherever he went, the one who


    had always stood high above, proud and excellent.


    In a trance.


    Monique heard Levi''s arrogant voice ringing in her ears again.


    "Tomboy, only a blind man would fall in love with a woman like you."


    "Tomboy, you''re f*cking digging your own grave, aren''t you?"


    "Tomboy, with which eye of yours did you see me cheating?"


    "Monique, you d*mned woman. It''s only because I''m blind that I took fancy to you."


    "Monique, mark my words. I''ll officially pursue you from now on and you''ll be my woman in the


    future. You''ll need to act like a woman. You can''t just hit people as you wish in the future."


    Monique, you''ve finally be my woman."
