Chapter 30: Mark's Secret

Not many people came to Catherine's funeral, and most simply laid down the flowers, stared at them heavily, and then left. When the number of people was fading, a sixty or seventy-year-old aunt, with a cane in one hand and flowers in her hand, walked to Catherine's grave, she slowly put down the flowers, and then turned her head to Mark. She looked up and down at the young man with red circles in front of her, and asked tentatively, "You are the mark, right?" ”

Hearing someone ask him, Mark, who hadn't been back to Norwich for several years, replied with some confusion: "Yes, you are?" "I, ah, I worked with your Aunt Catherine back then, and we are friends" "Work? Mark interrupted the aunt and asked suspiciously, "Aunt Catherine has been in the church all the time, why did she go to work again?" Are you mistaken? "How can you be mistaken, don't you know? Back then, in order to raise money for your schooling, she would rush to the workshop in the center of the city every night after the church was over. Mark was slightly stunned by his aunt's words, and then there was a long tinnitus. A scene from college came to mind: "Aunt Catherine, why do you always have bloodshot eyes when I come back to see you every month?" Is it not a good rest? Would you like to check it out? "I'm fine, you don't have to worry too much, just concentrate on your studies at school." Each time Mark's worries were simply prevaricated by Aunt Catherine in this way. It's just that Mark never thought that Aunt Catherine's bloodshot eyes and gradually rough hands were because she had to work outside every night, and the reason for the work was to earn him expensive tuition!

The sky suddenly became gloomy, and it was about to rain, and when the aunt saw Mark standing there in a daze, she patted him on the shoulder and dropped a sentence, "Child, mourn." He walked on crutches to the way he came, and hurriedly disappeared from Mark's sight, leaving Mark alone with red circles in his eyes and a dull gaze standing in place.

It was getting dark, and with a loud thunder and a dazzling bolt of lightning, the rain began to pour down. Mark's love also seemed to be on the verge of collapse with lightning and thunder, after all, Aunt Catherine was Mark's only relative in this world, and he knelt in front of Aunt Catherine's tombstone and cried bitterly, letting the rain beat, but all these sounds were mixed with the sound of rain and were drowned by the rain

"Aunt Catherine, when I graduate, I will earn a lot of money, buy you a lot of delicious food, and beautiful clothes." "Child, as long as you can have a good future and live happily, Auntie will be very happy, this is more important than anything else."; Aunt Catherine, I met a friend from country Z in the MBA class, his name is Sawakawa, his thinking is very different, really amazing. "Haha, then you will communicate more together, Auntie is old, and you will have to rely on these friends to go to society in the future"; Aunt Catherine, the company's headquarters has moved to country Z, I may have to go there to work, or else, you can go to country Z with me, and I will buy you a villa over there" "I've been in Norwich for most of my life, don't say anything about country M, even the continent has never been out. It's really inseparable! You go and take care of yourself" "Okay, then I'll have time to come back to see you!" It's just that he didn't expect that he would be gone for a few years, and he wouldn't even come back to see Aunt Catherine once.

Mark would regularly pay a lot of money to Aunt Catherine, but he didn't care about it until now he knelt in front of his aunt's grave, and suddenly realized that he really owed her too much, but he was already unable to repay it, so he could only kneel, kneel, kneel until the rain stopped, the clouds slowly dispersed Mark got up and prepared to leave, didn't take two steps, and stopped, he looked back at Aunt Catherine's grave, the sun that had just appeared hit his tear-stained face, at this time, speechless, but still full of sadness.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the magic capital of country Z, night has just fallen, but Xavier's headquarters is full of lights, Jia Yang's injuries have healed, and he has just returned from vacation, which has brought Zechuan and them good news - he is getting married. "We've known each other since college. She was always there for me during the days when I was recuperating from my injuries. Sawakawa watched one of his generals holding his fiancée's hand, and was sincerely happy for them. Jia Yang's words also surprised Zechuan slightly: the two came together, and Jia Yang, the senior of Xavier Group, connected their lives just because of the company. Maybe it's the best confession in the world

In the evening, the wedding ceremony was held at the Deyuan Hotel in the magic capital, dozens of Rolls-Royces and hundreds of Cadillacs were parked in front of Xavier's building, and they formed a long convoy to escort Jia Yang, his fiancée and Xavier's high-level executives, and slowly drove towards the Deyuan Hotel, "You are willing to love her, comfort her, respect her, protect him, and love him as you love yourself." Whether she is sick or healthy, rich or poor, will she remain faithful to her until she leaves the world? "I do." In the banquet hall of the gorgeous Deyuan Hotel, such a romantic dialogue was staged, followed by the exchange of rings, and then an affectionate kiss. Looking at Jia Yang's love, the perfect cultivation of positive results, everyone sincerely offered their blessings.

"I said boss," At the dinner table of the wedding banquet, Gao Chi, who was sitting next to Zechuan, heartlessly sandwiched the meals on the table one by one, looked at Zechuan who didn't know what he was thinking but had a smile on his face, and reminded: "Why don't you eat?" It's cold if you don't eat anymore" "Oh," Zechuan was pulled back to his thoughts by Gao Chi's rash words, looked at Gao Chitz, who was looking at him suspiciously, in order to alleviate his embarrassing situation, he took a sip of the wine in front of him, and asked without a match: "Mark has been gone for three days, and he didn't even have a phone call, and he didn't say anything about the reason when he left, I don't know what happened?" "I'll call and ask." Gao Chitz put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said vaguely while biting the mouth of half a lobster.

Just as Goetzpartners was about to press down the phone, the phone was answered: "I'm Mark," "Are you okay over there?" The boss is worried about you, let me ask. Is there anything I need to do? When will you be back? "I'll go back tomorrow night, so Sawakawa doesn't have to worry. I'm fine. Mark said with a slight movement in his Adam's apple.

The next morning, Mark said goodbye to the aunt who had received him at the church and left alone. He looked back at the church behind him and the evergreen tree that had accompanied him for more than ten years, and prayed silently in his heart, praying that Aunt Catherine, who had raised and cared for him like a mother, would be well in heaven
