Chapter 65: Dukao's Change
Milky Way, Earth Star.
Outside the city of Juxia, inside a villa in the countryside.
Countless medical staff are on standby in the villa, and all kinds of advanced medical equipment have been moved here.
And the face of every medical staff is conscientious and meticulous in the work at hand.
You must know that the woman who is going to give birth in this villa is the wife of a general, how can they not take this seriously?
If something happens, they can't afford it.
Inside the master bedroom of the villa.
A middle-aged woman with a big belly is lying flat on the bed, but a little depressed can be found on her face.
"Applejack, isn't he really going to come back to see me?"
The woman said in a sad tone to Applejack, who was guarding the door.
"Madam, general...... There are so many things at hand, it's really ...... Can't leave. I'm sorry! ”
Applejack at the door was wearing a black suit and black sunglasses, and the whole image of a 'man in black', when he heard the woman's question, the whole person was stunned at first, and then said hesitantly.
At this point, even Applejack felt that it was a bit too much for Ducao not to come back at such a critical time.
It's his wife who is pregnant! It's his daughter who is about to be born!
But Applejack has been by Dukao's side since he was still in the Deno system, and after so many years of getting along, he naturally knows Dukao's character very well, and in his eyes, the country always comes first!
So Applejack can only apologize to the woman instead of Dukao.
"Alas...... it's not your fault, Applejack, you don't need to apologize to me, I didn't expect him to even want to be by my side when his daughter was born, and he didn't want to see his daughter for the first time."
The woman sighed when she heard this, and at this time her state was like a flower that was about to wither, losing its vitality.
Applejack is sad to see her wife, but she doesn't explain anything.
Because he knows that since Dukao has made a decision, he will definitely not change it, and if he says that he will not come back, then he will definitely not come back.
"I'm just an ordinary earth woman, I don't understand any big truth, and I don't understand what you aliens think, and now I can only blame myself, I chose him in the first place......"
The woman then smiled self-deprecatingly, her tone full of despair.
"Madam...... please don't think so, I believe that there is no man in the world who doesn't care about his women and children, but the general ...... him."
Applejack sees her desperate look and tries to persuade her, but she doesn't know what to say.
"That's it, that's it......, I don't hate him, I just hate myself, I hate my stupid choice of an alien, after so many years, his appearance has not changed a little, and I am gradually getting old......"
This gap in the level of life forms also made the woman feel that she was less and less worthy of Dukao.
"No, the lady was beautiful back then, even now!"
Applejack immediately dismissed the woman's idea and said in a firm tone.
But it is also true that although this woman has reached middle age, it is not difficult to see how beautiful she used to be in her still beautiful face.
It's no wonder Applejack is so sure.
But having said that, for a woman, she must not be able to bear the reality that her other half looks much younger than herself.
The two of them walked on the street, and the feeling of pointing and pointing also made the woman completely unbearable.
Woman: "......"
The woman didn't speak, but the sadness on her face couldn't hide it anyway......
A few days later, the woman gave birth to Dukao's daughter, and according to Dukao's meaning, she named Du Rose, but Ducao still did not show up during this time......
Just a few months later, due to the postpartum period, the woman's physical recovery was not very ideal, coupled with the strong influence of mental emotion, and then died of depression not long after, leaving the young rose and passing away.
……
It's still the villa outside Juxia City.
Du Caiao pushed away all the work he was doing, and returned here after many days, and returned to this 'home' that belonged to him.
At this moment, he took off his military hat and sat on the sofa in the living room, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
When Dukao received the news of his wife's death in the military region, it was false to say that he was not sad, but it was impossible to make this iron-clad man put sadness on his face.
Even if his wife died of depression because of him, even if his daughter could no longer have the memory of his mother.
He will only force his sadness to the bottom of his heart, and in front of people, he is the tough General Dukao!
It is indeed a tragedy that Dukao's wife died in depression.
But if you want to ask him if he regrets it?
I'm sure Ducao will say, no!
If he is given a chance to do it all over again, he will still choose to continue to work hard for the country and the homeland for survival, and will not choose to stay with his wife.
After all, how can there be a home without a country?
Since he is in a high position, he must think about the others in this country, as for himself? was completely left behind by him.
So don't blame Dukao, he's just a typical military man who puts his country first!
He was so at the time of the Promise Star, and here he is still so!
It hasn't changed! But it's respectable!
It's just that the death of his wife did affect his state of mind, otherwise he wouldn't have turned down his job and chose to take a day off to go home.
Because he is also human and has feelings.
In the millennium on Earth, although Dukao still puts the country first in his heart, since he has a wife, his family also occupies an extremely important place in his heart.
At this time.
Applejack, who was in the room taking care of the child, hears the movement and walks out with her baby in her arms.
"General, you're back."
Has the general finally come to see his daughter?
Dukao, who was on the couch, heard the movement, opened his eyes, and turned his head to look.
It's just that when his gaze falls on his daughter Rose, he can't take his eyes off it.
Applejack senses Dukao's gaze and quickly walks over and gently places Rose in his arms.
"General, Rose is very healthy, and she is asleep now, but she has been crying for some reason for the past two days."
Ducao looked at his sleeping daughter in his arms and couldn't help but feel a stir when he heard Applejack's words.
Rose, it seems that you also feel sad that your mother is leaving?
Sorry, it's all because of me......
In the future, I promise to take time out to accompany you from time to time, and in the future, when you become an adult, I will definitely train you to be a qualified soldier!
Dukao made his own decision......
