“Am I not pretty enough?”

“Pretty, pretty. But you can look better.”

After Mu Yuan sent Shan Ning away, he let out a sigh of relief. He could no longer face Shan Ning. Although some things were still left undetermined, there seemed to be goosebumps in his heart alongside an unexplainable sense of discomfort.

He could only send him to go for medical treatment and constantly remind himself that he was not an ungrateful person.

He really was not.

This was not a suitable place for Shan Ning to heal.

After sending Shan Ning away, Mu Yuan came to bid farewell to Ye Tingyun.. He wanted to go to the city area again to investigate some matters. Ye Tingyun wanted to say something but stopped himself. “Okay, then be careful. You still have to participate in the Allied Forces’ activities.”

Mu Yuan nodded. Jack also participated in this alliance. Seeing Jack… Oh, he had to avoid Jack. He said that he would never appear again. He must avoid Jack.

DC City.

Jack locked himself up at home for a long time. After Lehman’s funeral, he did not speak at all. Luckily, he did not lock himself up in the old Anderson estate but in his own house. He did not attract too much attention. Other than Wesley, no one knew about it.

The entire room was encircled with smoke, and alcohol bottles were tossed all over the place. When Wesley pushed the door open, he felt a strong whiff of tobacco and alcohol engulfing him.

“Are the smoke detectors in your home mere decorations?”

He kicked onto a beer can the moment he stepped in. The table was full of cigarettes.

Jack sat in front of the window. His entire self looked exceptionally beaten down. Wesley felt his heart hurt. What happened to his brother? Was this because of Lehman? It did not seem like it either.

Instead, he seemed a little more mature.

Wesley said, “Uncle is discharged from the hospital peacefully. They have also accepted what happened to Lehman.”

“Oh.” Jack took the lighter and lit up another cigarette. He tilted his head and looked at the window. It was still morning, and it was still peaceful outside. There were residents training nearby, who would run past the sycamore trees outside the neighborhood. The outside world was filled with vigor, proving to be a stark contrast to the deadliness in the house.

“Brother, I have never seen you so beaten down before.”

“I’ll be fine after a few days,” said Jack. He was a controlled man. He allowed himself to be unrestrained during the holidays, but after the holidays ended, he would be Major Anderson again.

“You are going to be promoted,” said Wesley. This was something that he heard just now.

Jack was unaffected. It was rare to see someone being promoted to Lieutenant Colonel at such a young age, yet Jack was not concerned. This route had been laid out for him for a long time. He knew everything that he would encounter in this route. Everything was planned meticulously.

There was only one person who slipped past his calculations.

Only one.

Wesley looked at his brother leaning against the window, his body circled with a sense of sadness. He seemed to have lost something extremely important. Lehman was their younger brother. He was as sad as his brother to have lost Lehman.

But why wouldn’t he let bygones be bygones?

What was his relationship with this Major Mu Yuan?

It did not look like a normal relationship, but he could not ask further. Every time he mentioned the name, it was like stepping on a mine. He did not want to touch Jack’s mine either. There was no one in the world who would do that willingly.

Wesley breathed deeply and suppressed his swarming emotions. “Drink less and smoke less. I’ll go now.”

The door shut gently as Jack closed his eyes.

It’ll be fine after a few days.

He thought.

He would heal this scare someday. Life was so long. In this long, eventful lifetime, the loneliness that he would have to experience had not arrived yet. Before that came, if he could not even tolerate this pain and go crazy, wouldn’t he be a joke?
