You Hit My Heart -
Chapter 520
"Yes. It's not too late, we can just arrive at the Heath family by seveno'clock. They won't leave this early even if they have to go back to theCapital.” Luther lifted his wrist to check his watch and said, "I'll sleep forhalf an hour, and then I could just get changed and go. You guys waithere for me for a while.”
"Good. You hurry up and take a rest." Jacqueline quickly waved herhand, "I'll get everything else ready." By the way she had to put on alight makeup, since she couldn't go to the Heath family like this."Hmm."
With that, Luther turned around and went upstairs.
At the Heath residence.
Although it was already dawn, it was still overcast, without a singlecloud.
The whole house seemed to be immersed in heavy grief, with whitedrapery hanging over the door and black bands fluttering in the wind.The Heath family had not yet departed for the Capital when Luther andJacqueline and Shelly arrived.
A military truck was parked in front of the gate and several militaryspecial vehicles were parked in the courtyard, all fully loaded.Jacqueline was the first to enter, and as soon as she did, she saw theblack casket in the middle of the main hall, and Cecelia, dressed in ablack suit, sitting next to it.
Charlotte was sitting on the other side of the casket, holding it with onehand, her whole body leaning on the side of the coffin, her face paleand breathless, her tear stains still present.
Jacqueline hurriedly walked towards Cecelia, "Cecelia, are you okay?Why didn't you tell me when something like this happened? At least Ican help you share some of the burden.”
Cecelia slowly looked up and was slightly surprised to see that evenLuther was here, "Why are you all here? I didn't want to disturb you.We're going back to the Capital for the funeral.”
"Aunt Jacqueline... Luther, you're here. Shelly, you're here too."Charlotte saw them coming and hurriedly stood up to greet them, shewiped her tears haphazardly and sniffled, looking pitying at the sight ofthem.
Jacqueline took Charlotte's hands to her chest, “Look at you, you lookso bad. Don't cry, you need to take care of yourself, don't forget you'restill pregnant with a child.”
Luther simply nodded his head in greeting and didn't say much.
Shelly also came forward to hold Charlotte, "You never answer mycalls. Do you want to kill me? I don't know if we are still friends or not.”“This is ... My mother doesn’t want it to be known, and I..." Charlottestammered.
"I told her not to say anything. I'm sorry, Jacqueline. You know, theinformation about the Heath family could be relatively sensitive, andRodney was the military chief. Even if he passed away, we simply couldnot tell the public about it. The official obituary will be released onlywhen the top authorizes it. The details could not be disclosed accordingto the rules. That's why I didn't tell you." Cecelia sincerely apologizes."What? No. I'm just worried. I never thought that Mr. Heath would begone when I just saw him a while ago." Jacqueline sighed.
Now that they brought it up, Charlotte pretended to cry again, and sheturned her face away and secretly wiped her tears.
“You guys are going to the Capital, when are you coming back?"Jacqueline finally revealed the main purpose of her visit today. Theengagement was imminent, but Mr. Heath died suddenly, so what aboutthe engagement?
