My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 1366

That day, a tragic event occurred that shocked the Fletcher Family and the entire celebrity circle in Bayside City. A group of criminals had barged into the Fletcher Family’s large farmland outside the city in broad daylight. They blocked the gate and entered the farm armed with AKs, indiscriminately firing at everybody regardless of whether they were adults or children.

Most of the people on the farm were children with only a few adults there to watch over them… The Fletcher Family’s tradition of sending their children to the farm had been upheld for hundreds of years. Nobody had ever expected such a terrible tragedy to happen one day.

The entire Fletcher Family was completely shaken by the incident, and multiple helicopters immediately began flying toward the farm out in the countryside.

When Sophia and Michael arrived at the farm, they discovered that the once beautiful and bountiful farmland had turned into a wasteland. A large fire had burned down the barracks. Although the fire had been extinguished, they could see the bullet holes that penetrated the walls as well as the empty bullet shells covering the ground. The smell of blood and the charred remnants of the fire irritated their noses and their nerves. It was not hard to imagine what had happened here.

A group of heavily armed thugs had opened fire against a group of helpless children! Moreover, it was the children of the Fletcher Family, the top military family in Cethos! The Fletchers soon arrived, one after another, looking for their children. The entire scene was filled with crying sounds and the smell of gunpowder. What was once a beautiful wheat field was now a piece of scorched earth. Dead bodies and the wounded were being carried away as military doctors navigated the scene. Meanwhile, Joel expressionlessly took in the sight before him. Every corpse he came across filled him with an unspeakable rage.

Everything happened so suddenly. A group of people drove through the gates and forced their way in. They showed no mercy upon entry, attacking anything and anyone. The children tried to hide in the

fields while the adults tried to fight back. Unfortunately, there were too few of them against the assailants. Who could have foreseen an attack on a group of children in broad daylight, much less an indiscriminate shooting by people with guns on a scorching summer’s day?

The military camp located nearby quickly came to provide support, but the group of thugs had already escaped by then.

When Sophia and Michael arrived, they saw the wreckage and the empty bullet shells scattered across the ground. A group of dirty children was running around, crying for their parents. But, they did not see Carmen anywhere…

“Darling! Carmen! Carmen Sophia Fletcher! Where are you?! Carmen!” Sophia shouted her daughter’s name at the top of her voice. Unfortunately, Carmen was no longer among the crowd. Even though Sophia screamed until her voice was hoarse, Carmen did not come running out to meet her. Then, she slumped to the ground in despair. “My daughter—”

Michael looked at everything in front of him. A fog of despair seemed to block his vision as he felt like a blade was stabbing into his heart. Our child… is gone…

Meanwhile, Joel quickly received information on the number of casualties. Everything had happened so fast that there was no time to escape. Who could have thought that somebody would dare to murder the members of the Fletcher Family so close to the military camp? During the incident, the adults did their best to protect the children. Most of the adults lost their lives as a result. Fortunately, the children managed to survive although some sustained injuries.

Joel looked at the corpses that were being carried out, remembering every face in his heart. At the last moment of their lives, only the courage to sacrifice their lives for the children was reflected on their faces. The children were taken away to safety as they took a headcount of all those that remained.

Seven or eight children had been injured, but two children were missing. One of them was Lorelei Fletcher, and the other was Carmen Fletcher.

According to the surviving children, the thugs had rushed in and grabbed Carmen. Lorelei immediately chased after them and ran into the car. After that, the cars drove away. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Justin later found his son, Nathan, lying by the side of the road. Nathan had been injured during the incident. Despite bleeding profusely, he ran out and chased after the cars that had taken his two younger sisters for a long time. He ran until he passed out by the side of the road due to too much blood loss. When Justin discovered him, he was on the verge of death.

Similarly, Quinton was carried out on a stretcher too. He was severely injured with gunshots all over his body. When the tragedy occurred, he had hidden the children in the fields and led the adults against their assailants. Unfortunately, they were greatly outnumbered by the assailants. The thugs split in several directions and rushed in to kidnap the children.

Theo glanced at Quinton, who had fallen unconscious. He had extremely complicated feelings toward this son of his. He even thought of Quinton as his eldest son’s spare weapon. Even so, he was fully aware that this was his son. My biological son… My son who suffered all sorts of hardships since he was young; my son that I have never shown any care or love toward…

Quinton lay comatose after being badly injured, and the thugs had evacuated without a trace, going so far as to take their corpses with them too. Despite all that, Quinton was holding a piece of cloth in his hand in a death grip. It was a piece of cloth he had torn off from the other party’s clothes at the risk of his life. Moreover, that piece of cloth had a logo on it. It was a logo Michael knew very well—it belonged to the Yard Family. It’s the Yard Family again!

Only a few days ago, Henry and Ryan had publicly attacked the police with guns, causing a huge uproar among the ruling government and opposition party of Cethos. It was a blatant provocation to the

basic order of the country. That incident ended with the deaths of many Yard Family members and caused the two young masters of the Yard Family to be deported back to their home country after they were diagnosed with severe mental illness due to trauma. Even so, Jordan knew that that incident was way more serious than pushing Christine down the building. Hence, he warned his two sons to be careful. Contrary to his expectations, what his two sons were capable of far exceeded his imagination. Rather, it surpassed everybody’s expectations!

Sophia’s hoarse weeping was mixed into the sobbing of all the other parents at the scene. Today was one of the darkest days in the history of the Fletcher Family. Even Michael could not stop his tears from overflowing. In just a few hours, he felt as if he had lost everything. My child… is gone…

“The Yard Family!” Michael gritted his teeth, turned around, and got onto the helicopter. They were heading toward the main city district. Sophia wiped away her tears, picked up a gun, and followed him into the helicopter. Similarly, Joel threw the Yard family’s logo to the ground fiercely, turned around, and got onto the helicopter. After that, several helicopters took off toward the main city district. Their destination was the Yard Residence!

The Yard Residence in the main city district of Bayside City was a mansion that Anna had bought when she came back to search for her roots. It was specially meant for housing the members of the Yard Family within Bayside City. Louis and his family were staying here. Recently, Henry and Ryan had been staying here too after being sentenced to trial back in their home country. They were planning to board the plane back to their home country today.

Today, the Yard Residence was enveloped in a strange atmosphere. A car drove in from the back gate and parked by the garden. Then, the car door opened and a large man carried Lorelei out of the car by the back of her neck; he looked like he was carrying a baby chick. She was held by the scruff of her neck and dragged away without her feet touching the ground. Throughout the entire process, she was screaming and kicking but to no avail.

Following that, Carmen came out of the car too. However, she was carried out of the car by another large man. The large man put her down on the ground after they got out of the car. She lifted her head and said to him, “Mister, I need to pee.”

The large man impatiently replied, “No!”

She pouted, and her dirty little face looked incredibly aggrieved. “But… I can’t hold it in…”

The large man looked at her pitiful little face and felt a wave of compassion for her. Pointing at the small garden nearby, he said, “You have one minute.”

Carmen turned and glanced at the small garden before saying in a pitiful voice, “I’m scared of peeing alone. I want to go with Lola!”

Upon hearing that, the large man looked annoyed. Even so, he waved his hand and allowed it. Thus, Lorelei was freed too. The two sisters held hands as they walked to the small garden together. “Mister, you can’t peek, okay?”
