Heaven Domain (Iwan Cliff)

Chapter 267 Before Farewell! (III)

Chapter 267 Before Farewell! (III) Iwan's tears fell into the bowl. Jayna took his hand gently and shook her head at him tenderly. "Mom, what's wrong with dad? Why is he crying?" Emily walked to Jayna worriedly and asked Jayna in a low voice.

Jayna shook her head at Emily with complicated emotions in her eyes, smiled, and said, “He's okay, Emily. Maybe I added too much pepper to the noodles, so his eyes sting and he cries. He's really fine... Don’t worry..."

"Okay..." Although Emily nodded, she didn’t believe Jayna. She could feel that Iwan was sad, but she didn't bother Iwan at this time. Instead. she stayed quietly with Jayna. After a while, Scarlett also walked to Jayna with tears in her eyes and took Emily out. Then the shop owner, Sully, followed them out. Scon, there were only lwan and Jayna left in the restaurant.

Jayna's eyes were slightly red as she sat beside Iwan in a daze. She looked at Iwan in a trance, smiled, and reached out to wipe the tears on his face. "It's all right, honey. At that time, you were fighting to protect the country on the External Battlefield, and you didn’t know what happened to me and Emily. Honey... I believe that if you knew about our existence earlier, you would not let me and Emily suffer..."

Jayna paused, and then looked at Iwan with deep affection again. She forced a smile and said, "Honey, it's really all right... It's all over, isn’t it?”

Iwan did not speak but continued to lower his head and eat the bowl of noodles which was mixed with his tears. He couldn't say anything at this moment and blamed himself so badly. After all, he didn’t protect Jayna and Emily well, did he?

After finishing the noodles, Iwan asked Jayna to take him to the place where she and Emily had lived for four years. Jayna didn't want Iwan to go there, but lwan tipped the people around him a wink. Soon, an old lady with gray hair sighed. She took the key, led Iwan into the housing estate, and opened a large iron door in the basement

"Honey... Don't go down to have a look, okay? It's all over now, really..." Tears ran down Jayna's face at this moment, and she really didn't want Iwan to go down because she and Emily lived in the dark and damp basement for the past four years

Jayna knew lwan too well. Beneath his strong exterior, he was the kindest person in the world. He would rather bear everything alone. It was the truth. Whether he was on the External Battlefield or in the Dragon Kingdom, he always bore all the pain on his own. But he was absent from Jayna and Emily's life for four years! Jayna could feel how guilty lwan was.

In fact, it was not his fault. was it? He didn't know about their existence back then...

"Dad, don't go down, okay? There are mice below, and I'm so afraid... The mice are big. and there are many insects... scaring insects..." With fear in her eyes, Emily said to lwan in Scarlett's arms© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Hum...” lwan trembled fiercely after hearing Emily's words. He did not stop any longer and walked forward

"Iwan..." Jayna pulled Iwan but failed to stop him. At this moment, hundreds of people behind Jayna were silent. Jayna turned to Scarlett and said, "Take care of Emily." Then she followed Iwan in.

Iwan ignored Jayna and walked directly into the dark basement. He saw a lot of sundries, a bicycle, and some discarded cardboard. There was even some water in the corner. An unpleasant smell assailed his nostrils...

It had only been more than three months since Jayna left this basement. The old woman liked Jayna and Emily very much, so she kept this basement for them. The old woman was in her eighties, and she was worried that Jayna and Emily who had fled from Pasoland City would have no place to live, so she kept this room all the time. At this moment, the gray-haired woman also followed Iwan.

The next moment, the old woman bent over and opened a wooden door in the basement for Iwan. She said to Iwan, "Iwan, this is where Jayna and Emily used to live. I said many times that they should move upstairs to live with me, but Jayna was too stubborn. She didn't want to inconvenience me, so she lived here all the time.”

The old woman locked at the small bed, quilts, pots, and pans left in the basement. Although the basement was simple, it was very clean. People were always melancholy and moody when they were old. The old woman looked at the furnishings in the room and said to Iwan with tears in her eyes, "Iwan, since Jayna and Emily were so sensible, how could I dislike them? If they could live with me, I would be so happy, wouldn't 1? But they had strong characters. They had been living a poor life..."

“Iwan, I can tell that you are a good man. You are a soldier, and you are also very sensible, but you must take good care of Emily and Jayna in the future. They suffered a lot in the past few years..." The old woman said to Iwan with tears in her eyes.

"Nanny Morris, stop talking about that. Iwan is very kind to me, and I didn't tell him that I had a child back then. It's my fault. Nanny Morris, I'm sorry...” Jayna took Nanny Morris's hand and shook her head at Nanny Morris with complicated emotions in her eyes. lwan had been very guilty, so Jayna didn't want Nanny Morris to talk about it anymore.

Nanny Morris nodded, sighed, and then said to Iwan, "Talk to Jayna here, and I'll go out first. Alas, I'm too old to see such a sad thing. I'm going to see Emily. I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her so much. She is the most sensible child I've ever seen in my life... Alas..."

"Well, but her father is back now, and her father is a great hero. She's lucky now, and she won't suffer anymore. She doesn't have to eat leftovers and live in the basement anymore. In the future, she can wear new clothes, eat delicious food, and go to school. It's so good..."

Nanny Morris was old, so she was garrulous. Then she walked out trembling while chattering. Jayna wanted to help her, but she refused

After Nanny Morris left, Iwan stood in the middle of the basement, looked at everything in front of him, and remained silent. In the end, he fixed his eyes on the small bed against the wall. There was a shabby doll on it, as well as a sheet that had turned whitish from much washing.

"Iwan... I..." Jayna wanted to say something, but Iwan interrupted her.

Iwan took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at Jayna with an extremely distressed face. "Why... didn't you tell me earlier? Obviously, I hurt you back then...”

Jayna was silent. Did she never think about telling Iwan everything when she couldn't hold on in the past few years? Three months ago, Emily was able to get through to Iwan, which meant that Iwan always took the phone Jayna gave him back then. It also proved that Jayna could contact Iwan if she called him.

But Jayna didn't tell lwan. Although she was so tired and suffered too many grievances, she didn't call Iwan, because she knew that Iwan was burdened with great hatred when she saved him. She just didn't want to disturb him, and she stubbornly believed that she could raise her child alone. She didn't want to burden Iwan

In the following years, although taking care of Emily alone was tiring, Jayna had a lot of joy in the process. For example, Emily was particularly sensible and considerate because she grew up in such a harsh environment.

A lot of the time, when Emily saw that Jayna was tired, she used her little hands to massage Jayna and wash Jayna's feet to amuse Jayna in this room at night

"Mom, I heard a very nice story today. It's the story of a prince and a princess. Let me tell you. There was a princess who lived in a very beautiful castle. Every day, she...” At this moment, Jayna looked at the small bed in front of her and thought of the happy days she had spent with Emily in the past few years.

Life was bitter, but they were happy. Anyway, she had weathered the storm, hadn't she? Iwan finally came back. She had a peerless husband, while Emily had an awesome father.

"I'm sorry...” lwan said to Jayna in a very hoarse voice with tears on his face. It seemed that he could not do anything except apologize. Jayna stood at the door and shook her head at Iwan with tears. "You know that I don't blame you..."

Iwan nodded and said, "I want to sleep here tonight, okay?”

“Huh? Well... Are you going to sleep here?" Jayna asked Iwan with some doubts.

Iwan took a deep breath, nodded with complicated emotions in his eyes, and said, "Yes, I'll sleep here..." Then lwan paused again and continued, "I know that when you slept here with Emily before, you must have told her that her father would come back one day, and then the three of you would sleep here together, right?”

Jayna shuddered, and tears ran down her face immediately. Yes. lwan was right. As Emily grew up, she understood more and more. A lot of the time she asked Jayna where her father was and when he would come back intentionally or unintentionally... She had a lot of questions.

At that time, when Jayna lived in this dark basement and coaxed Emily to sleep at night. she would tell Emily that Emily's father would come back soon, and then Emily would sleep between them and be protected by them.

Well, Jayna had told Emily this many times. "Okay..." Jayna nodded at Iwan with tears on her face.

"Yeah..." lwan smiled at Jayna, took Jayna's hand, and walked out. When he went out with Jayna, there were still many people around the door. They were all people living in this housing estate.

"Dad... Dad..." Seeing that lwan's face was full of tears, Emily said to him worriedly in Scarlett's arms.

"Well. I'm fine. really..." lwan smiled at Emily and nodded.

Then Iwan took a deep breath, bowed deeply again to the people in the housing estate, and said sincerely, “Thank you again for taking careof my wife and daughter in the past few years. I willask > Morgar-Group to rebuild this =~ housityg estate, the school, the. community hospital, the restaurants, afd the road. I'll be respofisible for your medical care, children’s studies, and pension funds. Please do not refuse me. This is a token of my regard. Thank you for giving my child a very good growth environment. She can't be so sensible without you..." Content belongs to

As Iwan said this, he once again made a deep bow to the crowd

"Mr. Cliff... that... was what we should do, and we... really didn't offer too much help..."After lwan finished speaking, the crowd burst ~ into an uproar again. The people here were all very kind. They knew that ifthey accepted Iwan's — kindness, their future life weld be campletely changed. They-would live a very good life from now on. The children would be supported, and old people would have someone to rely on.

Iwan smiled, shook his head with great sincerity, and said nothing. He had experienced countless life-and-death battles on the External Battlefield, and he lived in hell five years ago, so he deeply understood that there were both good and bad people in this world

The world was neither faultiess nor seamy. There were good people and bad people,such as Anton whom . Jayna metthree months ago. At that time, Anton was not kind and cruelly persecuted Jayna and Emily. Jayna was’so beautiful. Since she sould live-in the housing estate peacefully for four years, it could bé&Seen how kind the people who lived here were.

Iwan had a deep understanding of the human heart. For example, if several people in this housing estate had bad intentions toward Jayna in the past four years, lwan would definitely regret it all his life

Iwan took a deep breath and continued, "I will set up a housing estate foundation for you. You can ask for help no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future. Everything in this housing estate will be free. Thank you for your kindness... Thank you..."

Iwan said very sincerely.
