"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm here to see you." Cornelia forced a smile, got up and walked toward Amelia.
Cornelia had been in a poor health these years. Maybe it was because she had suffered a lot when she was young.
Amelia held Cornelia's slightly cold hand and, "Aunt Cornelia, do you know what Tyrone is doing now? Why doesn't he call me? Hasn't he finished his task yet? He is not the only soldier in the army. Moreover, he is young and he is going to attend the college entrance examination soon. Why hasn't he come back? He has been in the army for several months. The Spring Festival is coming. Is he in contact with you?"
Amelia asked a lot of questions at once. Cornelia smiled faintly and said, "You asked so many questions in one breath. Which one do you want me to answer first?"
"Sorry, Aunt Cornelia, I'm really worried about Tyrone. I don't know why, but my eyelids have been twitching these days, and I feel very uneasy. Last night, I dreamed that Tyrone was dead, and I was so scared." Amelia puckered her mouth and explained helplessly.
Cornelia's fingers suddenly trembled for some reason, but Amelia didn't notice that and kept talking to Cornelia. Cornelia's face was pale. After a long time, she took a deep breath and said to Amelia, "Tyrone..."
"Cornelia, you are very tired. I will take you back to your room to rest first. Abigail is also tired because she had been taking care of Nacho these days. Let's not disturb her." Before Cornelia finished speaking, Hayden interrupted her words.
Amelia looked at Hayden with some confusion.
"Auntie Cornelia, are you in a poor health recently? You need to have a good rest indeed. Don't worry so much. I will definitely wait for Tyrone to come back. Tyrone promised me that we will get married when we go to college. I have already prepared."
"Okay." Cornelia looked at Amelia's beautiful face as if she had seen Ashley.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked grieved and sombre.
Amelia did not notice the expression on Cornelia's face. She just scratched her hair and watched Hayden helping Cornelia upstairs.
Cornelia and Hayden would live in the Xis for the time-being.
Amelia shook her head and went to the kitchen to cook soup for Alvin.
Upstairs.
"Why don't you tell Abigail about what happened to Tyrone?"
"I'm afraid she can't bear it." Hayden's face was filled with grief. He held Cornelia's hand and said.
"There's no way to cheat Abigail. We will tell her sooner or later. Tyrone is waiting for Abigail to take him home. He loves Abigail the most. Hayden, we'd better tell Abigail about it as soon as possible. Immediate agnoy is better than long- standing sufferings." Cornelia looked at Hayden with tears in her eyes and said in a choked voice.
Hayden knew exactly what Cornelia meant. He took a deep breath, looked at Cornelia with serious eyes, and said, "I know. Let's wait two more days. This is too cruel for everyone."
"I feel terrible. Hayden, what should we do? Why does this kind of thing happen to us? Why?" Cornelia leaned in Hayden's arms dolefully and said to him in a hoarse voice uncomfortably.
Hayden held Cornelia's body tightly with sorrow and desperation in his face.
"Cornelia, I'm here with you. It's okay. Maybe this is Tyrone's fate, this is his destiny."
"Why it's Tyrone, why..."
"Auntie Cornelia, what's wrong with you? What happened to Tyrone?" When Amelia went upstairs with the chicken soup, she heard Cornelia's uncontrollable voice.
She was shocked by Cornelia and asked in a dull voice.
In Amelia's impression, Cornelia had always been a very elegant woman, and she had never seen Cornelia so excited like this.
Hearing what Amelia said, Cornelia's body suddenly trembled. She looked mournful, on the verge of tears. "No... I just miss Tyrone too much. I'm very sad when I think of the fact that the army sent him to carry out the task."
"I miss him, too. But he will come back. He promised me that he would come back. If he dares lie to me, I will teach him a lesson." Amelia put down the chicken soup, waved her fist, and said to Cornelia seriously.
Cornelia looked at Amelia with grief. She covered her mouth and kept crying.
Seeing Cornelia crying, Hayden held her with distress. He raised his head and said to Amelia apologetically, "Cornelia is not feeling well recently, and she is a little sensitive. We haven't seen Tyrone for a long time, so she misses him so much."
"Uncle Hayden, take good care of Auntie Cornelia. I'll go out first." Amelia scratched her hair and whispered to Hayden.
Hayden nodded gently. After watching Amelia leave, the expression on his face became unusually dejected and melancholy.
"Cornelia, since it has happened, we can only be strong. If Tyrone knows that we are in so much pain, he will feel terrible too."
"Tyrone." Cornelia threw herself into Hayden's arms, grabbed the clothes on his chest and called out Tyrone's name with great sorrow.
Hayden just hugged Cornelia and comforted her in a low voice, but his eyes were full of woe and helplessness. Joanna was taking care of Nacho in the ward. When Amelia came over, she told Joanna that Cornelia and Hayden had come back. Joanna said in a daze, "Did they arrive in the afternoon?"
"Yes, when I got home in the afternoon, I saw Aunt Cornelia and Uncle Hayden."
"Did they say why they came back this time?" Joanna looked at Amelia and asked softly.
"You can go back now." Alvin pushed away Mignon's hand, he didn't want to face her anymore.
Looking at Alvin's cold expression in a dilemma, Mignon opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw Alvin's ruthless face, she couldn't say a word. After taking a deep breath, she said in a soft voice, "I'll... leave first. Have a good rest."
Finally, Mignon got up and left. After she left, Alvin clenched his fists tightly.
His face was apathy, irritated and even furious. After a long time, he seemed to be crazy and pushed all the things on the table to the ground.
The loud noise scared Mignon.
In fact, Mignon didn't walk far away. When she just walked to the door, she heard the crackling sound coming from Alvin's ward. She closed her eyes slightly. But she didn't say anything, she had a complicated feeling.
As for Mignon, Alvin... was really someone special.
She was grateful to what Alvin had done for her... But there was no way for her to deceive Alvin.
"Lyndon, please take good care of Alvin. If anything happens to him, you must tell me." Looking at Lyndon, who was standing at the door of Alvin's ward, Mignon said in a hoarse voice with tears in her eyes.
Lyndon took a look at Mignon and said blandly, "Okay."
Lyndon was no longer angry and indifferent towards Mignon. He knew that love couldn't be forced. If he asked Mignon to stay by Alvin's side, Mignon might not be willing to do so. It would be better to let them get along with each other like this. As long as Mignon could remember that Alvin had suffered so much for her. Two months later, Nacho was discharged from the hospital. He integrated the Xi's Group and the Gu Group. He renamed the Voidustries Company he set up as the X G Group, using the surnames of Edward and Justin.
The news that Nacho was still alive caused a stir in Beijing.
Nacho bought another villa as the Xis. He and Mignon also moved to this villa and lived with Cedric.
Chester was growing up gradually, and soon he could babble some words.
When Chester knew how to spoke, he could only say a single syllable. Even if he couldn't say it clearly, Mignon was very happy.
Nacho was even gentler to Chester. He often went for a walk with Chester in his arms. He was no longer as ruthless as he used to be.
Alvin still couldn't see anything. He gradually became particularly unsociable and depressed.
He often sat alone in the study without saying a word. As for affairs in his company, he had handed them over to Lyndon. When Lyndon needed to decide something important, he would come to ask Alvin for instructions.
