Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 825

Similarly, within their profession, they have faced exceedingly high expectations. They were criticized by the public for being superior and not catering to the masses needs. There were complaints about not allowing the groups to take pictures of police vehicles, and they were accused of being unsympathetic.

It's just a picture, why are you making a big fuss?

During an explosion or a fire, they were unable to enter due to safety concerns. However, the crowd implored them to rush into the fire without proper protective measures, arguing that failure to do so would label them as heartless and that they did not deserve to wear their uniforms...

Even when some of their colleagues took breaks and smoked, when photographed, they faced severe criticism.

It was as if they are expected not to smoke, not to take breaks, and not to prioritize their families...

The public's "standard" for them has been elevated due to excessive praise.

They were just ordinary people!

Rather than asking others to treat them as heroes, they wanted to be treated as regular people...

Johnny's mind was filled with various thoughts.

When he snapped back to reality, the leader on the stage was still speaking, "So... Johnny sacrificed himself to safeguard the front lines and safety for our masses! He's an exemplary and exceptional person..."

Johnny was taken aback.

He was not young anymore, he was in his thirties, and his wife and children often complained about his work keeping him busy, leaving little time for home.

Friends and relatives even questioned the significance of his seemingly thankless job.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a renewed sense of purpose.

"Protecting front line and safety of the masses"...

It was just an official statement, yet Johnny's eyes welled up with tears.

And he was not the only one—many of his comrades and colleagues in similar frontline positions unexpectedly received the recognition that morning.

They initially suspected that it might be a superficial gesture concocted by higher-ups to create a positive image or something similar.

However, as Johnny read through the document titled "Caring for Comrades in Frontline Posts," he discovered numerous practical measures listed within it. The document even included the well-being of frontline personnel as one of the criteria for evaluating supervisors.

In other words, it was not just an empty show, but a tangible initiative that could be implemented.

"Who's behind all this..." Johnny muttered to himself.

The person who created and issued this document must be a capable leader who truly understands the needs of frontline personnel!

Once again, Johnny's heart swelled with emotion. It was like walking for a long time and suddenly glimpsing the dawn on the horizon.

It was the same dawn they envisioned when they made a heartfelt commitment to this line of work!

With renewed faith, Johnny adjusted his hat, stepped out confidently, and hurried to his assigned post.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the leader whom Johnny admired, Blake, was wearing an apron and clumsily attempting to cook poached eggs for Lilly.

Having never cooked such a delicate egg before, he struggled to determine whether they were overcooked or misshapen.

"Another failure," Blake sighed in dismay as he gazed at a bowl of sparse and unappetizing poached eggs.

He took a few spoonfuls of the messy mixture and forced himself to eat it, determined to try again.

Hugh was hospitalized, and Bettany had to keep him company. Margaret usually took care of the cooking and frequently sent meals over.

But this morning, Blake had a sudden urge to cook poached eggs for Lilly.

Blake thought it would be an easy dish to cook...

At that moment, Lilly woke up, held a little rabbit, yawned, and asked in a daze, "What are you doing, Daddy?"

Blake turned around and said, "Oh, you're awake? Take a seat, Daddy's making poached eggs for you."

Apart from poached eggs, he also needed to prepare some meat.

Blake was not skilled in cooking delicate dishes like meat loaves or salt-baked chicken...
