Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 725

In the cemetery, some of the flowers in Theo's grave had withered from the cold, while others had bloomed even more gorgeously.

"If it wasn't for the captain, I might be lying here today..." After a long silence, Sophia finally said.

The couple didn't say anything. They were both silent because Sophia was telling the truth. However, be it Trevon or Natalie, they didn't intend to tell Sophia that Harvey was her bodyguard.

If they said so, Sophia would feel defeated. For those who wanted to prove themselves and pursue their dreams, it would make them doubt themselves and feel frustrated if they knew there had always been people helping to pave the way for them.

"We waited in that hidden place for three days and three nights. We painted our faces with camouflage and couldn't see each other's faces well. We didn't wash our faces or brush our teeth for three days. We only drank some water and dried bread. We didn't do anything. We only stared at the exit and waited for those bastards to come out. I remember that at 12:30 that night, they came out, but it seemed like the information was wrong. The higher-ups said there would be three people, but we counted in the dark and realized there were 15. It was seriously over the limit.

"We wanted to report the situation to the higher-ups but didn't have time. We brought as many people as they did. There would be casualties if we fought. If there were only three, we believed we could arrest them."

Sophia recounted the thrilling experience. When she said it, she sounded like she was talking about someone else until she said, "In the chaos, a bandit tried to escape. I didn't even think twice at that time. I only wanted to catch him and make him be punished, but... I didn't expect him to have bombs in his hands...

"I chased him for a long time. There were two other people with me. I ran faster than them, so they were a little behind me. Just as I caught him, we started fighting. We fought for a while. Then, the two people behind me came. They fired at the criminal while the criminal fired at them as well. The criminal was skilled and accurate. The other two were hit in the arm. Seeing that he was about to escape again, I hugged his neck, snatched his gun, and dismantled it. My gun was also kicked to the foot of the mountain by him... After fighting for a long time, we were both injured. My hand was broken, and so was his..."

Sophia gave a rough description, not very detailed.

Natalie felt a lump in her throat when she heard that. She turned her head to look elsewhere to ease her mood. This was the first time she heard how her daughter carried out a mission. She felt like her heart was being cut with a knife.

Trevon, on the other hand, had a dark expression. His lips were pursed tightly, and his breathing was heavy as he clenched his fists tightly.

After a while, Sophia said, "In the end, the captain fell in front of me to protect me. His head was blown off..." His blood splattered all over her face. Even in death, he still used his body as a cover to protect her.

Sophia cried after saying that. Trevon and Natalie hugged her and comforted her. Trevon asked, "Sophia, if you were the captain, would you do the same?"

Sophia nodded in her father's arms. Yes, this was their mission. They would sacrifice themselves for their comrades. Every time they carried out a mission, they would write a suicide note for themselves. This time, she wrote it too.

However, she was still alive. The will probably wouldn't reach her father.

But she would still blame herself. The person who should have been lying there was her.

Sophia's mind was filled with images of Harvey's blood on her face. Her hands were shockingly dark red. At that time, she was exhausted. When she touched the sticky blood all over her face, she could not take it and fainted when Harvey fell.

When they returned to the Wilson's residence, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Before they even stepped into the house, they could hear the teasing voice in the courtyard. "Why did you shave your head? Don't tell me you want to become a monk."

Olivia looked at the bald man sitting on the sofa opposite her. Under the light, the top of Liam's head was reflective. It was a little funny.

Liam rolled his eyes at Olivia. "I like it. Mind your business."

Sherri did not know what was wrong with her son. He went out yesterday and returned bald. At that time, the entire family was dumbfounded. When they asked him why he did that, Liam only said, "It is too tiring to wash my hair."

The gloominess in everyone's hearts was gone. Frank leaned lazily on the sofa with his legs crossed. Ava fed him a tomato.

Frank said slyly, "Let me know if you need a recommendation letter to be a monk."

Hackett said, "Be quiet for a while." He raised his hand and patted his son on the back of the head. When his palm touched the back of his head, it felt a little strange, as if he was touching a loach. His hair stood on end. "Put on a hat tomorrow."

Harper placed his hands on his mother's shoulders and smiled slyly. "Liam, have you fallen out of love and shaved your head to vent your anger?"Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"You fell out of love. When did you fall in love?" The gossipy Rose, Cyril, and Olivia asked in unison.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Liam. Even Sherri, his biological mother, was looking at him, waiting for an answer.

Liam was speechless when he met countless burning gazes. Just as everyone was waiting to watch the show, three people came in from the door, successfully diverting the topic of breakup.

Sherri, Rose, and Ava went up to them. "Sophia, come quickly."

After crying, Sophia's mood was much better, but the knot in her heart was still there. She might not be able to carry out another mission because of the aftereffects of the trauma. "I just heard someone break up," Sophia said.

The topic that was supposed to be covered was successfully stirred up again. Liam felt speechless.

Sophia's words made everyone laugh.

Before eating, everyone chatted in the living room. It was very lively. After Sophia woke up, Frank, Hackett, and Edward went to chat in the courtyard, leaving the children and women inside.

In the courtyard, the three men held cigarettes between their fingers. However, Trevon rejected the cigarettes Frank handed over. "I'm not smoking anymore. I'll quit since Sophia has woken up."

"Alright, let me see if Sophia has completely let go." Frank took a puff of his cigarette and blew out a smoke ring. Those who knew how to read people's expressions could always see things others could not.

As they were talking, the Turner family people arrived. After greeting them, Emma and Daniel entered the door. Christina also walked into the living room. Joseph went in to confirm that Sophia

was fine and came out. He looked behind him, confirmed no one was there, and said softly, "Sophia probably hasn't let go completely."

Joseph said this to Trevon as soon as he came out. "We must let her completely untie the knot in her heart."

Otherwise, she might make wild guesses whenever she was alone. This was a mine buried deep in the ground. If something happened, it would blow up.

Trevon nodded. He could tell that although Sophia looked fine on the surface, she had yet to let go. It was just that she didn't want them to worry. She appeared to be carefree. However, she was no longer as carefree as before.

"Hackett, pick a date for Ruby and Jasper to hold their wedding. I plan to bring Sophia to a snow mountain to live for a while," Trevon said.

Upon hearing this, Hackett took a puff of his cigarette and put his hands in his pockets. "What's the point of me picking? It's not like you don't know your daughter-in-law well. Ruby won't get married in peace unless Sophia gets better. Haven't they already registered their marriage? Why? Do you have to ask them to hold a wedding before you can admit she is your daughter-in-law?"

"That's not what I meant," Trevon said. He just felt his family owed Ruby.

Hackett naturally understood what Trevon meant. "Don't be garrulous. There isn't a right day for the wedding in the first half of the year anyway. Bring Sophia to relax first."

Joseph said, "Do you need me to go with you? You're talking about the snow mountain overseas, aren't you? That's a dangerous area. Wild animals are often seen there."

When Frank heard what Joseph said, he seemed to know which snow mountain it was. However, because his children were taking the SAT this year, he could not go with them this time. He was a

little sorry. "I can't accompany you this time. If you're still on the snow mountain after SAT, I'll come and look for you."

"I'm not there to hold a party." Trevon was grateful for his friends' good intentions. However, he wanted to bring Sophia to experience a different way of survival alone to relax completely.

At the dining table, Trevon stood up and raised his glass to thank everyone for their help and concern for so long. He raised his glass in the air and thanked them sincerely. "I'm not good at words. And I'll cut the crap. Thank you all. Cheers. "

Everyone stood up. The kids were all drinking soft drinks like juice. The men were all drinking wine. Even Natalie and Christina were drinking red wine, and Stella chose milk.

Sherri also wanted to pour herself a glass of wine, but Hackett stopped her. He advised, "Madam, I think you should drink milk or some other beverage." He did not want to tie the knot of the balloons again.

He would never forget that he spent a whole night to tie the knot. He did not want to do it again.

The number 250 was still vivid in his memory.

Natalie had thought of this as well. She smiled and nudged Sherri's shoulder. "Alright, you should just drink the juice. The wine is not right for you."

Under everyone's strong persuasion, Sherri gave up on drinking wine and chose fruit juice.

With his bald head, Liam was the most conspicuous person in the group. Olivia and Nona looked at the bald head occasionally and smiled. Harper and Cyril were laughing loudly, looking a little wicked.

Everyone drank a toast and sat down. The adults talked at the dining table, and the kids were whispering. As Trevon said, Sophia was no longer as carefree and heartless as before after this incident. She talked a lot less.

Jasper sat beside Sophia. His heart ached as he touched the back of Sophia's head and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll help you get it."

Sophia smiled. "Jasper, I haven't congratulated you and Ruby yet. I'll make up for it another day."

In the cemetery, her parents had already told her everything. They also said that Jasper had delayed the wedding. She would know about this sooner or later anyway. Her parents might as well told her themselves.

Sophia looked at Ruby's gentle smile and wanted to apologize, but Ruby beat her to it and said casually, "Don't feel burdened. I want all my sisters and cousins to come and wish me well and be my bridesmaids. I'll be happy."

Sophia smiled when she heard that. "Okay."

Jasper picked up some food for Sophia and said in a low voice, "It's all in the past. Hurry up and eat."

"Okay." Sophia nodded.

After dinner, everyone stayed in the living room for a while. During that time, Mr. and Mrs. William and Grace came. When it was almost 9:30 p.m., knowing that Sophia needed to rest, everyone left.

The Turner family people had been living in the Wilson's residence during Christmas. Natalie asked Daniel and the others to stay in the Roberts family residence for a few days and accompany Ava.

Daniel and Emma agreed and left with George. Before leaving, Sophia punched George, and George smiled.

Frank put his hands in his pockets and left. "I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything."

Christina, Joseph, and Stella were going to the Yamin family. Joseph said, "Then I'll go back first."

"Okay." Natalie nodded, reassuring them.
