Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1275

Ivan said, "Can we visit the Crawford family to celebrate the New Year after the holidays?"

Colton hesitated for a moment and sighed. Then, he said, "Maybe next time, Ivan. The Crawford family might not be in a convenient situation this year."

Ivan found it strange and asked, "Why?"

Colton's voice was heavy as he replied, "Cloud had sacrificed himself during a mission abroad."

Ivan was stunned. I could not believe it! It was so sudden and hard to accept!

"Did many people sacrifice themselves?" Ivan could not help but ask.

Colton shook his head and said, "Just him."

Melody was shocked and quickly asked, "Why only him? I didn't mean that. I meant..." She did not know what to say, feeling overwhelmed.

Colton explained, "The mission was very dangerous, with various factions in conflict, and not everyone supported our country."

"However, Cloud was incredibly brave. He ensured the safe return of everyone and was the last one to withdraw."

"Everyone had witnessed him creating one miracle after another, and they firmly believed he would make it out safely."

"But no one could have expected that he would fall in the final round of attack."

As Melody listened, she felt her nose tingle and her eyes well up with tears.

Meanwhile, Ivan pondered. How could Bettany accept this fact? When Jean passed away, Bettany collapsed and only recovered when Lilly returned. Could Bettany endure this time? No, I had to go check on her.

Ivan searched through his rings and found a gentle elixir suitable for stabilizing the soul. I hoped it would help Bettany get through this difficult time.

All members of the Crawford family gathered at the Crawford Mansion.

The other servants of the Crawford family had already taken their holidays and gone home.

However, Margaret and Jack stayed behind.

Everyone was in the living room, chatting and enjoying the moment.

Lilly played for a while before stepping outside. Then she found Margaret tidying up the dining room and joined her.

"Why didn't you return home for the New Year, Margaret?" Lilly asked.
