Ledger mentioned to his parents about wanting to visit the Murray family after the New Year.

Rocky paused for a moment and sighed, saying, "Next time, the Murray family may not be available this year."

Ledger felt curious and asked, "Why?"

Rocky's voice was heavy, "Huck from the Murray family sacrificed his life during a stabilization mission abroad."

Ledger's heart sank with a continuous thud, feeling the suddenness of it all, making it difficult to accept.

"Did many people sacrifice...?" he couldn't help but ask.

Rocky shook his head and said, "Only him."

Lottie was dumbfounded and asked anxiously, "Why is it only him... I didn't mean that, what I meant was..."

She didn't know what to say for a moment, and felt her thoughts were in a mess.

Rocky said, "That stability maintenance operation was very dangerous, with various factions vying for power, and not everyone recognized our country."

"Huck, however, was very brave and managed to bring all his comrades out safely, while also providing cover for their retreat."

He was the last one to retreat.

Everyone witnessed with their own eyes as he, like a god of war, achieved one miracle after another. Morale soared, and they firmly believed that he would ultimately emerge unscathed.

But no matter how hard I try, I can't imagine him falling in the final round of bombing.

Lottie listened and felt her nose becoming sour, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

What Ledger had in mind was, "What should Alana do?"

When Clara passed away, she fell down and remained on the ground until Susie returned, only then did she stand up again.

Could Alana make it through this?

No, he had to go and see...

Ledger searched through the rings, finding a gentle and suitable medicine to stabilize the soul, hoping that Alana could get through this challenge.

***

From the first day to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Murray family did not separate. Everyone who called them uncles and aunts, or called them uncles and aunts, all gathered in the Murray family estate.

The other servants of the Murray family had already gone home for their holidays, but Ada and Colt did not go back.

Everyone was drinking tea and chatting in the living room. Susie played for a while and then went out for some fresh air. She saw Ada tidying up the dining room and went over to join her.

"Why didn't you go back for the Chinese New Year, Ada?" Susie asked.

Alana knew about Ada's family matters, but Susie never really inquired about it.

Ada nagged, "Why go back? My son got married, and we spent the Lunar New Year at his mother-in-law's house. He asked me to join them there, but I didn't want to go."

Ada's spouse passed away early, leaving only Ada and their son at home.

In the past, her relationship with her son was not very good. After her son graduated, he found a very decent job and cared a lot about his reputation.

I heard that she worked as a cook in Los Angeles, and I felt embarrassed for her.

Ada never told her son that she worked as a cook for the Murray family, fearing unnecessary trouble and unwilling to have her son turn to the Murray family if anything happened.

"He mentioned several times for me to resign and go back, but what can I do if I go back? My daughter-in-law is unwilling to live with the elderly, usually they both live on the new side of the house, leaving me alone to live on this side of the old house."

"A person all alone, then I might as well stay here, here is good."

Why did she have to live a lonely and unhappy life just to save face for her son?

Ada was tidying up with a warm smile on her face and said, "You are like my children, watching you grow up, I can't bear to let go!"

She had long regarded the Murray family as her second home and loved everything about it.

During the Chinese New Year, I went to my son's mother-in-law's house with him. She was feeling very uncomfortable.

Living in someone else's house, whether it was my son's in-laws' house or any other, I always felt constantly criticized and disliked, being told not to touch this or that.

Stay in the room yourself, being complained by the daughter-in-law for not helping with any chores. Go out and help with the work, but they think she has always been the cook auntie, and everything she does is taken for granted.

Ada also had a bit of a temper: "To be honest, why should I serve the Murray family and take a salary? What's in it for me to take care of their whole family?"

They felt that they shouldn't touch expensive things anymore. They felt that cleaning, cooking, and tidying up should be done by her.

When I was young, I took care of my son. And when I got old, I had to take care of my son's mother-in-law and her family as well.

She was not stupid!

"I'm happy to stay here, it feels like my own home," Ada said, watching Susie roll up her sleeves to help her tidy up, and then urging her to leave, "Miss Susie, you go outside, I can handle it myself!"

Susie didn't want to go back to the living room so soon. Her grandmother is currently in the living room, chatting with Huck.

She felt that she didn't have the ability to control her expression so well.

So Susie sat down on a chair beside, propping her chin up, and asked Ada, "Where is Colt?"

Colt did not go back for the Lunar New Year.

Ada said, "Colt also had only one daughter, who got married and went abroad. It's a long way and a high mountain..."

This was also an unavoidable situation.

Susie exclaimed with gratitude, "Thank you, Ada and Colt. Because of you, Grandma wouldn't have been so bored at home."

Ada was all smiles, "This wasn't our job in the first place!"

After saying that, he imitated the mischievous language of young people and said, "We didn't want to, but the Murray family gave us too much!"

Susie burst into laughter.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Susie picked up her phone. She rarely used her phone and in the underworld, there was hardly any communication available. She didn't have anyone to contact usually.

The classmates in the class did create a group and invited Clement to join their private class group. However, she rarely checked the messages - they were just too talkative, constantly sending messages with 99+ notifications. She had put the group messages on mute.

Susie opened her phone and found that it was a message from Ledger.

Ledger: "Susie, are you at home? I am at your doorstep."

Susie was surprised.

How did he come here? Wasn't it said that he would come to pay New Year's greetings a few days after the New Year?
