It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1225

"Bruce, do you know that Kevin came to see you again? He also brought his wife. Look! Isn't she beautiful? She is not only beautiful but also thoughtful." Mamie wiped her tears as she laid out the offerings for Bruce. It had been so many years since Bruce left that she thought she would never be sad again. However, she could not help but shed tears whenever she was on that place. Was there really a way to keep a mother's heart from breaking every time she remembered her child who died so young?

"You should be married too if you're still alive. I wouldn't mind taking care of your children. You left so suddenly that you didn't even leave me a word." Mamie murmured alone, sounding very sad.

"Bruce, are you all right over there? Do you still sing the song Green Camp every day? You know what? You were a terrible singer. You scared every comrade we had in the dormitory whenever you sang. The bad part was that you didn't care and still belted it out loud passionately. You really made us love and hate you." Kevin's voice trembled a bit as he poured wine for Bruce. It was a rare sight for someone as strong as Kevin to cry but that time, he just let his tears out.

Meanwhile, Leena stayed quiet as she had no intention of comforting Kevin. She knew that it would be better for him to have all his pain vented out. Moreover, she didn't know what was going on, so she wasn't sure how to express her feelings.

"Remember the little poplar we planted together? The last time I went back to the company, I found it had grown up. The places where we trained together have changed but the soldiers didn't change at all. They love our country as much as we did. Let us drink to our hot-blooded loyalty." Kevin took a sip and poured the wine into the grave.

"Boy, have you been lazy? Have you regressed? I'm telling you, don't let me catch up or I'll take the title of your best soldier of the year!" Kevin poured another glass of wine and continued talking. Leena had never seen Kevin so sad and the sight right now really bothered her a lot.

"Do you see the beautiful woman behind me? She is my wife. Isn't she beautiful? Didn't we say we were going to get married and be fathers at the same time? Why did you lie to me? Do you have a girl you like? If you have, you must be brave to pursue her. Don't be a coward! We soldiers should be bold in whatever we do."

A smile cracked Kevin's lips but it wasn't the type of smile that Leena would like to see him with. It was outright the saddest smile she had seen in this world and it chipped her heart a bit. She knew that the man buried here must be someone really important to Kevin.

"Kevin, don't feel bad. Bruce was lucky to have a brother like you. It was his fate, anyway." Mamie consoled as she began burning paper money piece by piece. That gave Leena the signal so she bent and bowed. Without a word, she then bent down to put paper money in the fire.
