"Yes. It's not too late, we can just arrive at the Heath family by seven o'clock. They won't leave this early even if they have to go
back to the Capital." Luther lifted his wrist to check his watch and said, "I'll sleep for half an hour, and then | could just get changed
and go. You guys wait here forfor a while."
"Good. You hurry up and take a rest." Jacqueline quickly waved her hand, "I'll get everything else ready." By the way she had to put
on a light makeup, since she couldn't go to the Heath family like this.
"Hmm."
With that, Luther turned around and went upstairs.
At the Heath residence.

Although it was already dawn, it was still overcast, without a single cloud.
The whole house seemed to be immersed in heavy grief, with white drapery hanging over the door and black bands fluttering in
the wind.
The Heath family had not yet departed for the Capital when Luther and Jacqueline and Shelly arrived.
A military truck was parked in front of the gate and several military special vehicles were parked in the courtyard, all fully loaded.
Jacqueline was the first to enter, and as soon as she did, she saw the black casket in the middle of the main hall, and Cecelia,
dressed in a black suit, sitting next to it.
Charlotte was sitting on the other side of the casket, holding it with one hand, her whole body leaning on the side of the coffin, her
face pale and breathless, her tear stains still present.
Jacqueline hurriedly walked towards Cecelia, "Cecelia, are you okay? Why didn't you tellwhen something like this happened? At
least | can help you share sof the burden."
Cecelia slowly looked up and was slightly surprised to see that even Luther was here, "Why are you all here? | didn't want to
disturb you. We're going back to the Capital for the funeral."
"Aunt Jacqueline... Luther, you're here. Shelly, you're here too." Charlotte saw them coming and hurriedly stood up to greet them,
she wiped her tears haphazardly and sniffled, looking pitying at the sight of them.
Jacqueline took Charlotte's hands to her chest, "Look at you, you look so bad. Don't cry, you need to take care of yourself, don't
forget you're still pregnant with a child."
Luther simply nodded his head in greeting and didn't say much.

Shelly also cforward to hold Charlotte, "You never answer my calls. Do you want to kill me? | don't know if we are still friends
or not."
"This is ... My mother doesn’t want it to be known, and I..." Charlotte stammered.
"I told her not to say anything. I'm sorry, Jacqueline. You know, the information about the Heath family could be relatively sensitive,
and Rodney was the military chief. Even if he passed away, we simply could not tell the public about it. The official obituary will be
released only when the top authorizes it. The details could not be disclosed according to the rules. That's why | didn't tell you."
Cecelia sincerely apologizes.
"What? No. I'm just worried. | never thought that Mr. Heath would be gone when | just saw him a while ago." Jacqueline sighed.
Now that they brought it up, Charlotte pretended to cry again, and she turned her face away and secretly wiped her tears.
"You guys are going to the Capital, when are you coming back?"
Jacqueline finally revealed the main purpose of her visit today. The engagement was imminent, but Mr. Heath died suddenly, so
what about the engagement?
