    Chapter 267 Before Farewell! (III)


    Iwan''s tears fell into the bowl. Jayna took his hand gently and shook her head at him tenderly.


    "Mom, what''s wrong with dad? Why is he crying?" Emily walked to Jayna worriedly and asked Jayna in a low voice.


    Jayna shook her head at Emily withplicated emotions in her eyes, smiled, and said, “He''s okay, Emily. Maybe I added too much pepper to the


    noodles, so his eyes sting and he cries. He''s really fine... Don’t worry..."


    "Okay..." Although Emily nodded, she didn’t believe Jayna. She could feel that Iwan was sad, but she didn''t bother Iwan at this time. Instead. she


    stayed quietly with Jayna. After a while, Scarlett also walked to Jayna with tears in her eyes and took Emily out. Then the shop owner, Sully, followed


    them out. Scon, there were only lwan and Jayna left in the restaurant.


    Jayna''s eyes were slightly red as she sat beside Iwan in a daze. She looked at Iwan in a trance, smiled, and reached out to wipe the tears on his


    face. "It''s all right, honey. At that time, you were fighting to protect the country on the External Battlefield, and you didn’t know what happened to me


    and Emily. Honey... I believe that if you knew about our existence earlier, you would not let me and Emily suffer..."


    Jayna paused, and then looked at Iwan with deep affection again. She forced a smile and said, "Honey, it''s really all right... It''s all over, isn’t it?”


    Iwan did not speak but continued to lower his head and eat the bowl of noodles which was mixed with his tears. He couldn''t say anything at this


    moment and med himself so badly. After all, he didn’t protect Jayna and Emily well, did he?


    After finishing the noodles, Iwan asked Jayna to take him to the ce where she and Emily had lived for four years. Jayna didn''t want Iwan to go


    there, but lwan tipped the people around him a wink. Soon, an olddy with gray hair sighed. She took the key, led Iwan into the housing estate, and


    opened arge iron door in the basement


    "Honey... Don''t go down to have a look, okay? It''s all over now, really..." Tears ran down Jayna''s face at this moment, and she really didn''t want Iwan


    to go down because she and Emily lived in the dark and damp basement for the past four years


    Jayna knew lwan too well. Beneath his strong exterior, he was the kindest person in the world. He would rather bear everything alone. It was the


    truth. Whether he was on the External Battlefield or in the Dragon Kingdom, he always bore all the pain on his own. But he was absent from Jayna


    and Emily''s life for four years! Jayna could feel how guilty lwan was.


    In fact, it was not his fault. was it? He didn''t know about their existence back then...N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "Dad, don''t go down, okay? There are mice below, and I''m so afraid... The mice are big. and there are many insects... scaring insects..." With fear in


    her eyes, Emily said to lwan in Scarlett''s arms


    “Hum...” lwan trembled fiercely after hearing Emily''s words. He did not stop any longer and walked forward


    "Iwan..." Jayna pulled Iwan but failed to stop him. At this moment, hundreds of people behind Jayna were silent. Jayna turned to Scarlett and said,


    "Take care of Emily." Then she followed Iwan in.


    Iwan ignored Jayna and walked directly into the dark basement. He saw a lot of sundries, a bicycle, and some discarded cardboard. There was even


    some water in the corner. An unpleasant smell assailed his nostrils...


    It had only been more than three months since Jayna left this basement. The old woman liked Jayna and Emily very much, so she kept this basement


    for them. The old woman was in her eighties, and she was worried that Jayna and Emily who had fled from Pasnd City would have no ce to live,


    so she kept this room all the time. At this moment, the gray-haired woman also followed Iwan.


    The next moment, the old woman bent over and opened a wooden door in the basement for Iwan. She said to Iwan, "Iwan, this is where Jayna and


    Emily used to live. I said many times that they should move upstairs to live with me, but Jayna was too stubborn. She didn''t want to inconvenience


    me, so she lived here all the time.”


    The old woman locked at the small bed, quilts, pots, and pans left in the basement. Although the basement was simple, it was very clean. People


    were always mncholy and moody when they were old. The old woman looked at the furnishings in the room and said to Iwan with tears in her


    eyes, "Iwan, since Jayna and Emily were so sensible, how could I dislike them? If they could live with me, I would be so happy, wouldn''t 1? But they


    had strong characters. They had been living a poor life..."


    “Iwan, I can tell that you are a good man. You are a soldier, and you are also very sensible, but you must take good care of Emily and Jayna in the


    future. They suffered a lot in the past few years..." The old woman said to Iwan with tears in her eyes.


    "Nanny Morris, stop talking about that. Iwan is very kind to me, and I didn''t tell him that I had a child back then. It''s my fault. Nanny Morris, I''m sorry...”


    Jayna took Nanny Morris''s hand and shook her head at Nanny Morris withplicated emotions in her eyes. lwan had been very guilty, so Jayna


    didn''t want Nanny Morris to talk about it anymore.


    Nanny Morris nodded, sighed, and then said to Iwan, "Talk to Jayna here, and I''ll go out first. s, I''m too old to see such a sad thing. I''m going to


    see Emily. I haven''t seen her for a long time, and I miss her so much. She is the most sensible child I''ve ever seen in my life... s..."


    "Well, but her father is back now, and her father is a great hero. She''s lucky now, and she won''t suffer anymore. She doesn''t have to eat leftovers and


    live in the basement anymore. In the future, she can wear new clothes, eat delicious food, and go to school. It''s so good..."


    Nanny Morris was old, so she was garrulous. Then she walked out trembling while chattering. Jayna wanted to help her, but she refused


    After Nanny Morris left, Iwan stood in the middle of the basement, looked at everything in front of him, and remained silent. In the end, he fixed his


    eyes on the small bed against the wall. There was a shabby doll on it, as well as a sheet that had turned whitish from much washing.


    "Iwan... I..." Jayna wanted to say something, but Iwan interrupted her.


    Iwan took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at Jayna with an extremely distressed face. "Why... didn''t you tell me earlier? Obviously, I hurt


    you back then...”


    Jayna was silent. Did she never think about telling Iwan everything when she couldn''t hold on in the past few years? Three months ago, Emily was


    able to get through to Iwan, which meant that Iwan always took the phone Jayna gave him back then. It also proved that Jayna could contact Iwan if


    she called him.


    But Jayna didn''t tell lwan. Although she was so tired and suffered too many grievances, she didn''t call Iwan, because she knew that Iwan was


    burdened with great hatred when she saved him. She just didn''t want to disturb him, and she stubbornly believed that she could raise her child alone.


    She didn''t want to burden Iwan


    In the following years, although taking care of Emily alone was tiring, Jayna had a lot of joy in the process. For example, Emily was particrly


    sensible and considerate because she grew up in such a harsh environment.


    A lot of the time, when Emily saw that Jayna was tired, she used her little hands to massage Jayna and wash Jayna''s feet to amuse Jayna in this


    room at night


    "Mom, I heard a very nice story today. It''s the story of a prince and a princess. Let me tell you. There was a princess who lived in a very beautiful


    castle. Every day, she...” At this moment, Jayna looked at the small bed in front of her and thought of the happy days she had spent with Emily in the


    past few years.


    Life was bitter, but they were happy. Anyway, she had weathered the storm, hadn''t she? Iwan finally came back. She had a peerless husband, while


    Emily had an awesome father.


    "I''m sorry...” lwan said to Jayna in a very hoarse voice with tears on his face. It seemed that he could not do anything except apologize.


    Jayna stood at the door and shook her head at Iwan with tears. "You know that I don''t me you..."


    Iwan nodded and said, "I want to sleep here tonight, okay?”


    “Huh? Well... Are you going to sleep here?" Jayna asked Iwan with some doubts.


    Iwan took a deep breath, nodded withplicated emotions in his eyes, and said, "Yes, I''ll sleep here..." Then lwan paused again and continued, "I


    know that when you slept here with Emily before, you must have told her that her father woulde back one day, and then the three of you would


    sleep here together, right?”


    Jayna shuddered, and tears ran down her face immediately. Yes. lwan was right. As Emily grew up, she understood more and more. A lot of the time


    she asked Jayna where her father was and when he woulde back intentionally or unintentionally... She had a lot of questions.


    At that time, when Jayna lived in this dark basement and coaxed Emily to sleep at night. she would tell Emily that Emily''s father woulde back


    soon, and then Emily would sleep between them and be protected by them.


    Well, Jayna had told Emily this many times.


    "Okay..." Jayna nodded at Iwan with tears on her face.


    "Yeah..." lwan smiled at Jayna, took Jayna''s hand, and walked out. When he went out with Jayna, there were still many people around the door. They


    were all people living in this housing estate.


    "Dad... Dad..." Seeing that lwan''s face was full of tears, Emily said to him worriedly in Scarlett''s arms.


    "Well. I''m fine. really..." lwan smiled at Emily and nodded.


    Then Iwan took a deep breath,


    bowed deeply again to the people in


    the housing estate, and said


    sincerely, “Thank you again for


    taking careof my wife and daughter


    in the past few years. I wisk >


    Morgar-Group to rebuild this =~


    housityg estate, the school, the.


    community hospital, the restaurants,


    afd the road. I''ll be respofisible for


    your medical care, children’s studies,


    and pension funds. Please do not


    refuse me. This is a token of my


    regard. Thank you for giving my


    child a very good growth


    environment. She can''t be so


    sensible without you..." Content


    belongs to


    As Iwan said this, he once again made a deep bow to the crowd


    "Mr. Cliff... that... was what we


    should do, and we... really didn''t


    offer too much help..."After lwan


    finished speaking, the crowd burst ~


    into an uproar again. The people


    here were all very kind. They knew


    that ifthey epted Iwan''s —


    kindness, their future life weld be


    campletely changed. They-would live


    a very good life from now on. The


    children would be supported, and


    old people would have someone to


    rely on.


    Iwan smiled, shook his head with great sincerity, and said nothing. He had experienced countless life-and-death battles on the External Battlefield,


    and he lived in hell five years ago, so he deeply understood that there were both good and bad people in this world


    The world was neither faultiess nor


    seamy. There were good people and


    bad people,such as Anton whom .


    Jayna metthree months ago. At that


    time, Anton was not kind and cruelly


    persecuted Jayna and Emily. Jayna


    was’so beautiful. Since she sould


    live-in the housing estate peacefully


    for four years, it could bé&Seen how


    kind the people who lived here were.


    Iwan had a deep understanding of the human heart. For example, if several people in this housing estate had bad intentions toward Jayna in the past


    four years, lwan would definitely regret it all his life


    Iwan took a deep breath and continued, "I will set up a housing estate foundation for you. You can ask for help no matter what difficulties you


    encounter in the future. Everything in this housing estate will be free. Thank you for your kindness... Thank you..."


    Iwan said very sincerely.
