Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Secret of Mark

"You said Aunt Catherine died?" "Well, I left last night. Before her death, she also said that you are her greatest pride...... "......" The sudden bad news from an old friend of country M on the phone made Mark's ears "buzz", "I'll explain to Zechuan, and then buy the nearest express flight to rush back!" Mark said with a slight choked up as the corners of his eyes moistened.

At the Modu Airport, the plane carrying Mark and his eager mood went straight into the sky, he took a deep breath, looked at the blue sky outside the window, then put down the visor, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into a long memory......

"Aunt Catherine, why do all the other children in the school have parents and parents, but I don't?" "Because little Mark's parents went to a far away place." "Aunt Catherine, why do we have to live in the church?" "Isn't it bad that it's so big?" "Aunt Catherine, why do you all come here to pray?" "Because this is the closest place to God." As a child, Mark was an orphan who was picked up by Sister Catherine at the door of a church in Norwich, a small city in the middle of country M. Before the age of 16, he grew up in the church, without maternal love, fatherly love, and toys like other children, the only thing he had was the care and concern of Aunt Catherine.

When the plane crossed the Pacific Ocean and landed at the capital airport of country M, it was still more than 11 o'clock in the morning, and Mark spent more than ten hours on the plane in a groggy state but did not fall completely asleep at all, and after getting off the plane, he did not dare to delay for a moment to take the train to the small city of Norwich. When he arrived at the church in the small town, it was already late at night, and he dragged his tired but hurried steps to the church door. After a pause, Mark looked up at the evergreen tree in front of the church, and the images from twenty years ago overlapped with this evergreen tree, and resurfaced in front of him......

"Aunt Catherine, I love this tree so much, he never sheds leaves, and he can play with me all year round." "His name is evergreen, and it doesn't shed leaves because it's strong, and because it's strong, it's strong." "I also want to be a strong kid in the future, so that I can become strong." "Aunt Catherine, look at this sister who has come to pray, she has an evergreen tree on her brooch! "That's the hallmark of the Evergain University Alliance, which is the best university in the world, and only the strongest and brightest people can study there." "Aunt Catherine, Mark is going to study there when he grows up!" …… In this way, the young Mark began to read and study tirelessly, and the tree in front of him planted the hope of success for the boy who was only thirteen years old at the time.

The door of the "squeak" church was gently opened, and a woman in her fifties poked her head out: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?" "I am...... Rushed to attend Aunt Catherine's funeral. "Oh, you're Mark." This time the door was generously opened, "Come in" Mark followed the middle-aged woman, pressed his steps into the church, the church is still as holy as twenty years ago, so warm, I can't help but roll up a small wave in Mark's heart, after all, this is a place that has accompanied him for more than ten years, but things are not people, the person who grew up with him has now gone to heaven

The funeral took place the next morning, so Mark was arranged to spend the night in a small room. The night was surprisingly quiet, and only the breathing of Mark after a long day of running around could be heard. In the church across the wall, the bell struck three times, and the dream once again brought Mark into the memory of the past: "Aunt Catherine, the application I sent to Evergreen has passed, and I am finally qualified to study there!" Mark, who is 18 years old and slightly young, said happily. Well, you know that Mark is the best. But the happy Mark didn't notice at all, a trace of worry in the corner of Catherine's eyes - the tuition fee of the evergreen tree is really too expensive Mark went to the best school in the world as he wished, and was rewarded with half of the tuition fee for his own efforts, but he didn't know how heavy Aunt Catherine paid for the remaining half of the tuition

Mark spent the whole night in dreams, dreaming of the past, even with a happy smile on his sleeping face. And in the magic capital of country Z on the other side of the ocean, it was a sunny afternoon at this time, but Wang Chen seemed extremely awake in the office room filled with sleepiness, "Wang Chen, I said that you are in a state of excitement all day, what do you think?" The male colleague sitting next to him made a cup of coffee, patted Wang Chen on the shoulder and asked. Wang Chen looked at the lazy colleague beside him, and did not answer his question, but asked thoughtfully to himself, "Have you heard of Jin Zechuan?" "Kanazawa River," Obviously, this topic suddenly aroused the interest of the other party: "It is the best rich and handsome, men are proud of it, and women are bent over it!" Thinking that we will also be employees of Jin Zechuan in the future, this pride, ah, incomparable, is also" "Wait, wait" Wang Chen stopped him, and asked cluelessly: "What did you say?" What do you mean by "we are also employees of Kanazawa River"? "Don't you know that our company has been acquired?" "I think I've heard of it" "Yes, it was acquired by Kanazawagawa's Zewell Group!" The words of his colleague woke up the person in the dream, and Wang Chen completely ignored the next talk of the person next to him, because he finally gradually figured out in his mind the ins and outs of the strange things that happened to Tian Qingqing during this time. He looked at Qingqing, who was sitting in the office more than ten meters away from him, and shook his head, showing a knowing smile.

The early morning sun illuminated Norwich, a small town in the middle of the country of M, and Mark woke up in his sleep by the woman who had led him to his room last night: "Young man, get up and eat something, and we will go to Catherine's funeral together in a moment." Mark took the glass of milk and an egg from the woman, and said nothing, just nodded politely to her. Mark took a sip of milk and looked out the window at the evergreen trees outside the church, the birds chirping in the branches, and it seemed so peaceful. However, Mark didn't know that this evergreen tree, which had grown with him for more than ten years, and the nun Catherine who had grown up with him at the funeral, and that there were still some secrets in them, which Mark did not know until now
