Chapter 436: 294: Unrestrained Farewell [4000 extra words]
September 15,1998, the Sichuan Army Region successfully completed its flood rescue mission…Commander Harrison Clark and the medical officer Emma Lee encountered a landslide on their way home and unfortunately died in the line of duty.
Since joining the army, both comrades… have now been posthumously recognized as martyrs and awarded second -class merit…
In 2007, Harrison Clark’s grandmother, Garcia, passed away at the age of 65. Harrison Clark’s grandfather, Moor Clark, is still alive and lives alone in Sichuan County City. He is 81 years old this year, and his health has not been good in recent years, hospitalized from time to time.
As he reminisced, Harrison Clark’s hand started shaking uncontrollably.
He fiercely turned to look at the side.
Avril Green didn’t disturb him.
After a long while, Harrison Clark put the materials back in the file bag, “Thank you.”
“No need to thank me.”
”It must have taken a lot of effort to find out about this, right?”
Avril Green: “Hmm, it’s not too bad. I’m not too clear about the specific details.
The suspect has also been caught. Do you want to talk to her?”
Harrison Clark thought for a moment, “Forget it, it’s all in the past.” “I’ve always been curious, I’ve actually looked into your past before. You’re obviously not a soldier, but you seem to have a strong military air about you now, and it’s not the kind of inexperienced soldier who hasn’t been on the battlefield. Moreover, your temperament has been growing stronger and stronger. I used to think it might be an illusion, but now I know it’s innate.” Harrison Clark nodded, “Perhaps. My adoptive father’s surname is also Chen, and he named me Harrison Clark. My dad’s name is also Harrison Clark Maybe… it really is destiny. The soldier that he wasn’t able to become, I will be. I won’t let him down.”
“Save it, you can’t enlist now. Even if you want to, others won’t agree. It’s better for you to continue writing songs and doing research.”
Harrison Clark: “We’ll see about the future.”
Harrison Clark also remembered that in his previous two trips to the future, the private named Harrison Clark was from Boston.
At that time, he was slightly puzzled. He was clearly not from Boston, so why did he always have issues with this place?
Now he understood; from the very beginning, destiny was hinting at him. Avril Green nodded, sizing him up and down unconsciously, and sighed, “It’s incredible how strong your innate temperament is.”
Harrison Clark gave a hearty laugh, “It’s not entirely natural. I had to practice, and it took me countless lives to achieve it.”
Stop it! Did you think I hadn’t seen your records or something?”
“Really, I’m telling the truth. Why don’t you believe me?”
Avril Green was both amused and annoyed, “Tell me, how many lives?” Harrison Clark pretended to seriously think it over, “There must be a trillion lives.”
This time, Avril Green rolled her eyes far back into her sockets.
Unable to handle him, Avril Green helplessly said, “Why are you joking again?” Harrison Clark: “I…”
Not daring to continue, he quickly lowered his head and began to eat his food meanwhile taking out his phone to call Julia Lambert and have her book a flight to Sichuan for him immediately.
“I won’t be able to dine with you slowly today. I’m sorry. I’ll eat up quickly and go to Boston to visit my grandfather.”
Avril Green: “And then?”
“Then I’ll buy a house there and get a private jet so I can come to Oxfordshire when needed.”
Avril Green was shocked: “Wow…”
“One day at a time, right? I’ve been gone, and the old man has been struggling
for twenty-one years. I want to make him happier.”
However, all of these were Harrison Clark’s beautiful wishes, ultimately impossible to achieve.
Destiny has never been perfect, full of various imperfections.
When he arrived at the Sichuan County City and went straight to the community where Moor Clark lived, he found out that Moor Clark had been admitted to the county hospital that morning.
Harrison Clark hurriedly turned around and rushed to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the inpatient building, others said he was on the fifth floor, but the elevator had just reached the third floor. Harrison Clark turned and ’ rushed into the stairs, not caring about shocking people, and climbed the stairs like lightning.
When he arrived at the door of the ward, he saw the doctors and nurses outside.
He didn’t dare to ask; the conversation between these people had already told him the answer.
Doctor: “He didn’t want me to accompany him. He said he wanted to be alone and quiet. This time the elderly really can’t make it.”
The nurse rubbed her eyes, “Sigh.”
Another nurse had red eyes too, “Actually, I thought Mr. Chen wouldn’t make it last year, but I didn’t expect him to pull through.”
“He said he had to wait for his grandson to come back, and he didn’t want to leave.”
Twenty-one years have passed. How can he wait any longer?”
“When he went missing, he was only three years old. He wouldn’t remember anything.”
“By calculations, he should be twenty-four years old. If he could find his way back, he would have done so already.”
“Where do you think Mr. Chen’s grandson is now? I’ve helped him send out a message on my Moments before, but it didn’t help at all.”
“Who knows? I forwarded it too and even registered online for him.”
“Sigh.”
“Lewis, what did Mr. Chen say just now?”
Doctor: “He said he was still unwilling to accept it, but he knew there was nothing he could do this time. He was just a little regretful and reluctant.”
Doctors and nurses have seen a lot of life and death, and usually wouldn’t be too emotionally affected.
But Old Mr. Chen’s story was well known within the hospital.
About five or six years ago, the old man’s health began to decline, and he became a frequent visitor to the hospital.
Many times, the doctors thought he couldn’t hold on any longer, and the veterans’ welfare home and funeral parlor were preparing for his funeral rites. However, he always miraculously regained his spirits and pulled through..
