My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1366

That day, a tragic event occurred that shocked the Fletcher Family and the entire celebrity circle in Bayside City. A group of criminals had barged into the Fletcher Family’s large farmland outside the city in broad daylight. They blocked the gate and entered the farm armed with AKs, indiscriminately firing at everybody regardless of whether they were adults or children.

Most of the people on the farm were children with only a few adults there to watch over them… The Fletcher Family’s tradition of sending their children to the farm had been upheld for hundreds of years. Nobody had ever expected such a terrible tragedy to happen one day.

The entire Fletcher Family was completely shaken by the incident, and multiple helicopters immediately began flying toward the farm out in the countryside.

When Sophia and Michael arrived at the farm, they discovered that the once beautiful and bountiful farmland had turned into a wasteland. A large fire had burned down the barracks. Although the fire had been extinguished, they could see the bullet holes that penetrated the walls as well as the empty bullet shells covering the ground. The smell of blood and the charred remnants of the fire irritated their noses and their nerves. It was not hard to imagine what had happened here.

A group of heavily armed thugs had opened fire against a group of helpless children! Moreover, it was the children of the Fletcher Family, the top military family in Cethos! The Fletchers soon arrived, one after another, looking for their children. The entire scene was filled with crying sounds and the smell of gunpowder. What was once a beautiful wheat field was now a piece of scorched earth. Dead bodies and the wounded were being carried away as military doctors navigated the scene. Meanwhile, Joel expressionlessly took in the sight before him. Every corpse he came across filled him with an unspeakable rage.

Everything happened so suddenly. A group of people drove through the gates and forced their way in. They showed no mercy upon entry, attacking anything and anyone. The children tried to hide in the fields while the adults tried to fight back. Unfortunately, there were too few of them against the assailants. Who could have foreseen an attack on a group of children in broad daylight, much less an indiscriminate shooting by people with guns on a scorching summer’s day?

The military camp located nearby quickly came to provide support, but the group of thugs had already escaped by then.

When Sophia and Michael arrived, they saw the wreckage and the empty bullet shells scattered across the ground. A group of dirty children was running around, crying for their parents. But, they did not see Carmen anywhere…

“Darling! Carmen! Carmen Sophia Fletcher! Where are you?! Carmen!” Sophia shouted her daughter’s name at the top of her voice. Unfortunately, Carmen was no longer among the crowd. Even though Sophia screamed until her voice was hoarse, Carmen did not come running out to meet her. Then, she slumped to the ground in despair. “My daughter—”

Michael looked at everything in front of him. A fog of despair seemed to block his vision as he felt like a blade was stabbing into his heart. Our child… is gone…

Meanwhile, Joel quickly received information on the number of casualties. Everything had happened so fast that there was no time to escape. Who could have thought that somebody would dare to murder the members of the Fletcher Family so close to the military camp? During the incident, the adults did their best to protect the children. Most of the adults lost their lives as a result. Fortunately, the children managed to survive although some sustained injuries.

Joel looked at the corpses that were being carried out, remembering every face in his heart. At the last moment of their lives, only the courage to sacrifice their lives for the children was reflected on their faces. The children were taken away to safety as they took a headcount of all those that remained. Seven or eight children had been injured, but two children were missing. One of them was Lorelei Fletcher, and the other was Carmen Fletcher.

According to the surviving children, the thugs had rushed in and grabbed Carmen. Lorelei immediately chased after them and ran into the car. After that, the cars drove away.

Justin later found his son, Nathan, lying by the side of the road. Nathan had been injured during the incident. Despite bleeding profusely, he ran out and chased after the cars that had taken his two younger sisters for a long time. He ran until he passed out by the side of the road due to too much blood loss. When Justin discovered him, he was on the verge of death.
