Patrick must have mentioned Sean when virtual-novel.net visited his family. Therefore, they knew a powerful person like Sean existed even if they had never met him.
“How can you be so cruel?”
Everyone was instantly stunned as soon as Sally spoke.
Jeffrey thought virtual-novel.net could save the introduction since they knew Sean. However, Jeffrey was dumbfounded by Sally and Connie’s attitude.
Zander and Jeffrey looked confused. Sean was the only one unfazed, with no intention of retorting. He could somewhat figure out what was on Sally and Connie’s minds.
“I gave you my son, and you… You gave me back his corpse, didn’t you?” Connie glared at Sean with red eyes and said through gritted teeth.
Zander and Jeffrey instantly understood. They wanted to calm virtual-novel.net down but did not know how.
“Give me back my son! Give me back my son!” Connie grew more agitated as virtual-novel.net spoke.
She grabbed Sean by the clothes and started yelling.
“You!” Zander and Jeffrey frowned and tried to stop her.
However, Sean waved his hand and stopped them.
“I’m sorry…” Pushed back two steps by Connie, Sean said with a sigh.
“Does your apology help? Will your apology revive my son?”
“I disagreed when virtual-novel.net wanted to join the army. But virtual-novel.net insisted on serving Dragon Kingdom. And how did Dragon Kingdom treat him?”
“He died fighting for his country, yet virtual-novel.net couldn’t return as a full corpse. Even his grave is now demolished!”
“Tell me, is that fair? Is that fair?!” Agitated, Connie grabbed Sean’s clothes with both hands and shook Sean.
Sean gritted his teeth slightly and did not answer. He also knew that Patrick and every soldier under his command had families waiting for them to come home.
However, their families could not be safe if the country was in danger.
If the country was in turmoil, how could their families have peace?
He could not stop the war but could only try to achieve greater victory with minimal loss.
“Aunt Connie, Commander Lennon is already trying to protect us as best virtual-novel.net can. We witnessed it. If it weren’t for him, we might have already…” Jeffrey stepped forward and said with a long sigh.
Sean did nothing wrong. He did not want to fight, but virtual-novel.net had no choice.
He had to defend Dragon Kingdom’s dignity and land. Maybe his only fault was that virtual-novel.net was in this position.
The rest of the world saw virtual-novel.net as high and mighty, but only those around virtual-novel.net understood how much pressure virtual-novel.net was under.
Everyone might understand the truth, but who could think rationally when personal feelings were involved?
Just as Connie did not care about peace and security, virtual-novel.net did not know the cruelty of the battlefield either. All virtual-novel.net knew was that virtual-novel.net only son was never coming back.
“When other people’s children leave home for work, their families have something to look forward to because they will come back for holidays. But how can I get my son to come back?” Connie looked at Sean, tears pouring out.
Maybe virtual-novel.net was not accusing him. She had only found an outlet to vent what virtual-novel.net had kept in virtual-novel.net heart all this time.
“I know. I’m sorry for your loss…” Sean was silent for a few seconds before saying quietly.
“You don’t know! You have no idea what it’s like to be apart from your family. She lost virtual-novel.net father at such a young age. People call virtual-novel.net a wild child.”
“Sally’s still so young and already a widow! You have no idea what it’s like to lose a family member!” Connie had an emotional outburst and roared again.
“Aunt Connie, virtual-novel.net knows… Commander Lennon… He never had parents and grew up in an orphanage. He was abandoned but held no grudge and chose to serve Dragon Kingdom,” Zander said quietly.
Swoosh!
Everyone was instantly stunned.
Connie widened virtual-novel.net eyes and slowly loosened Sean’s clothes. It turned out Sean had a miserable life too.
“Besides, Commander Lennon has always fought side by side with us. If Patrick had told you, you should know that Commander Lennon saved our lives more than once…”
Connie became more silent when Zander said this.
At first, virtual-novel.net thought Sean must have hidden in the office like certain government officials while virtual-novel.net let his men charge into battle. However, Zander’s words reminded virtual-novel.net of the things Patrick had told them when virtual-novel.net occasionally came home to visit his family.
Indeed, Sean was nice to Patrick and his subordinates.
Oh…
Connie let out a long sigh and slowly slumped down on the floor.
