Chapter 191
After leaving Ryan’s place, Marina went straight to Brendon’s house.
Frank drove her there.
However, when they arrived downstairs, their moods were a little heavy.
“Captain, why don’t you wait for me downstairs? I’ll go up alone.” Frank glanced at Marina.
Everyone on their team knew that Marina hated participating in such things the most.
He did not know why Brendon asked the Captain to go to his house and inform his family.
“No need.” Marina opened the car door and got out of the car while speaking.
Looking at Marina like this, Frank could only follow her.
Although Marina had never been to Brendon’s house, she remembered his house number clearly.
It was room 2506.
Marina stood at the door. After a moment of silence, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
“Coming.” A moment later, a woman’s gentle voice came from the room.
The door opened and Brendon’s wife stood at the door.
She looked at Marina in confusion.
“Who are you?”
“I’m Marina Bailey,” Marina introduced herself.
“Marina Bailey? Who are you looking for?” The beautiful woman lowered her head and thought for a moment. She realized that she did not have such a name in her memory. She didn’t know who Marina was.
However, she asked very politely.
“I’m looking for you,” Marina parted her lips and said lightly.
“Me?” The woman was a little surprised.
After staring at Marina for a while, she suddenly thought of something and was stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately moved aside.
“Come in first.”
“Mm.” Marina nodded at her and then brought Frank into the house.
Lisa, who was practicing her piano in the living room, saw her mother leading two strangers in. She immediately stopped and looked at them curiously.
“Lisa, I have two guests. Go back to your room and stay for a while, okay?” Miranda said gently..
“Okay.” Lisa was about to get up and return to her room.
However, Marina stopped her. “No need. It’s better for both of you to be present for what I’m about to say.”
As soon as Marina said this, Miranda’s expression immediately turned a little ugly.
But soon, she squeezed out a gentle smile.

Chapter 191
“You should be colleagues of Brendon, right? Why are you here this time? Is he going to postpone returning home again?
“He’s always like this. He can’t do what he promised his child. He always asks his colleagues to tell us.
“You don’t have to run errands for him anymore. The child and I understand his work, and we won’t really blame him.” Miranda’s voice was as gentle as
her appearance.
When Frank heard this, he did not dare to speak and only looked away.
Meanwhile, Marina stood up straight and neatly bowed to Miranda and her daughter.
“I’m sorry, Brendon… he sacrificed himself,” Marina finally said.
When Miranda heard this, she was stunned.
Although Lisa was only in her teens, she was already sensible.
She could also understand the meaning of the word “sacrifice“.
Her eyes instantly turned red as she looked at Marina in disbelief. “What did you say? What happened to my father?”
Marina looked at Lisa and said, “Your father is a hero. The army headquarters will bestow him with the honor of a special–class hero and give him a generous burial.”
“You’re lying. Daddy won’t die. A few days ago, he even accepted a video call for me and said that he wanted to accompany me on a trip. I don’t believe what you said. Tell my father to come back. I want my father!” Lisa pounced in front of Marina and kept punching Marina’s body.
“Lisa!” At this moment, Miranda came back to her senses and stepped forward to pull Lisa away.
“Mom, they’re all liars. Hurry up and chase them out!” Lisa said to Miranda with reddened eyes.
“Lisa!” Miranda’s voice became louder.
Lisa instantly suppressed her cries.
Miranda bent down and wiped the tears off her face.
“Lisa, do you remember what Daddy taught you before?
“You’re the descendant of a hero of the people. You have to be strong. You can’t be like other children who cry when something bad happens.” Miranda’s voice was very gentle, comforting Lisa’s broken heart.
“But…” Lisa wanted to say something, but Miranda interrupted her.
“Lisa, let’s be good, okay?”
Lisa looked at Miranda in front of her and suddenly thought about Brendon’s words.
Then she nodded heavily.
“I won’t cry. I still have to take care of Mommy!”
“That’s more like it.” A smile appeared on Miranda’s face.
After comforting Lisa, Miranda looked up at Marina.
“Did you bring his body back?”
“I’ve brought him back. I’m here to bring you and the child over to take a last look at him,” Marina said.
“Alright, wait for me.” Miranda nodded and led Lisa into the bedroom,

Chapter 191
Only Marina and Frank were left in the living room.
“Captain, didn’t Mr. Carrell say that his wife is a very timid person? Why didn’t she shed a tear when she heard the news of Mr. Carrell’s death?”
Not only did she not cry, but she also looked too calm.
Apart from being a little stunned at the beginning, she seemed to have quickly accepted the fact.
Marina did not answer Frank’s question. She just stared in the direction where Miranda left.
By the time Miranda came out with Lisa, the two of them had already changed into black dresses.
The hair tie on Lisa’s head was changed into a white one.
However, Miranda seemed to have put on some light makeup. She looked much better than just now.
Miranda seemed to have noticed Marina’s gaze and slowly squeezed out a smile.
“Brendon has always liked me when I put on makeup, but I’m usually busy. Sometimes, when I put on makeup, he’s not at home. When he’s at home, I am too lazy to do it, so I want to dress up and pick him up.”
“Miranda, you don’t have to explain this to us.” When Frank heard this, his throat felt even worse.
“Miranda, let’s go,” said Frank.
“Okay.” Miranda nodded and then led Lisa out the door.
By the time Marina brought Miranda and Lisa to the army headquarters, they immediately went to see Brendon’s body.
Marina had always wanted his wife and children to see him one last time.
Therefore, his body was well–preserved.
It had been a few days since Brendon died.
But at this moment, Brendon lay there and did not look scary.
As soon as Lisa saw Brendon, her tears immediately ran down her face.
Then, she turned around and threw herself into Miranda’s arms, sobbing.
