Chapter 1514
Kendrick gently patted her shoulder, his eyes shining with unshed tears as he looked at the camera.
“Tarquin, this might be the last recording your mom and I ever leave for you. It contains what we want to say to you, and the secrets of the 8th generation virus p>
“Tarquin, you have to remember, Mom and Dad love you. We love you so, so much. We will always love you p>
“You are our greatest blessing, our flesh and blood, the person we love most in this world p>
“Risking our lives for this virus doesn’t mean we abandoned you. We are protecting you, and protecting our fellow countrymen p>
“If you’re watching this, you must already know how dangerous the 8th generation virus is p>
“Someone wants to destroy us! They want to use biological weapons to control us p>
“Once the 8th generation virus spreads, our country and our people will either be annihilated or become slaves to foreign invaders, forced to do their bidding p>
“We would lose all our freedom and happiness. Our lives would become a living hell p>
“That’s why your mother and I had to stand up and fight against these evil forces!” “I believe you can understand our choice p>
“And I believe that if the crisis hasn’t been resolved yet, you will also bravely step forward to fight for the safety of our country and our people p>
“Tarquin, you are the son of Kendrick and Elizabeth. Our blood runs in your veins. You will surely be even braver than us p>
“Mom and Dad always taught you to protect our homeland. Why? Because we can’t keep our family safe if our world is falling apart p>
“As citizens, it’s our duty to defend this country! And as parents, it’s the only way we can protect our home and our family p>
“Tarquin, you must remember: defending our nation is the only way to defend our home and protect the people we love p>
“Because we understand the importance of national security, we were prepared to die the moment we learned about the danger of the 8th generation virus p>
“We want our country and our people to be safe and sound, and even more, we want our son to be safe p>
“We don’t want you to live in an enslaved nation p>
“Tarquin, whether for the greater
good or for our own family, your
mother and I had to stop thonet
villains. We don’t know if we succeed, but we have to act p>
“You… you can understand us, right p>
Elizabeth, tears welling in her eyes, looked at the camera again.
“I don’t regret taking this risk. My only worry is you. The Bradfords are so cruel, and
those foreign powers are so vicious p>
“My son, your mother loves you so
much. I wanted to watch you grow up, to see you succeed in your career, to see you confident and proud to see you get married and start a family p>
“I want to see what kind of girl my son will choose as his wife p>
“I imagine she must be beautiful, brave, kind, and wonderful. She must love you very, very much, just like I do p>
“I know life is full of regrets, but when I think about not being able to be with you as
you grow up, I feel so, so sad p>
“You are my biggest regret p>
“Without Mom and Dad, who will love you p>
“You’re so young. Who can love you in our place p>
“But… we have no choice but to act. We have to be sorry, my son. We
have to break our promise. can’t
be there to protect you and watch over you. We are so sorry.
In the video, Elizabeth and Kendrick were choked with emotion several times, unable to speak.
They knew their chances of survival were slim.
They were prepared to die. They weren’t afraid, but they worried about their son!
Their son was their weakness, their greatest concern!
By stepping forward, they had done right by their country and their people, but they felt they had failed their son.
They knew all too well what he would face after they were gone.
As the sole heir to the Bradford family, he would be taken back to them, forced to
live with those monsters. His life would be miserable!
But if they had let the virus spread, their son would either die or become a slave to our enemies—a fate even more miserable.
