Chapter 223 - The Reunion

J's parents survived that ambush but because of that, Elder Do together with the members of the council came to a decision that President Martin and Madam Victoria should pretend that they died on that ambush and Elder Do must pretend that he returned to the position as the leader of the Society and later on getting weaker.

The ambush and death of President Martin and Madam Victoria were broadcast on the television and that is how everyone came to know about their death.

It was Elder Do who told to the 10-year old Jenny about what happened to her parents. J back then was already smart and understands the situation, but that kid didn't realize that she wouldn't be able to see her parents since then.

20 years later, she finally sees them again. And the first words that came out of her mouth was, "What took you so long? All these years, I've been waiting for your visit." then J cried like a baby in front of her parents and husband. Madam Victoria can't resist and pulled her into her embrace. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry sweetheart." Madam Victoria said in between tears.

President Martin who was watching the mother and daughter crying in each other's arms didn't hold back the tears that are forming in the corner of his eyes. He took a step closer to his wife and daughter and circled his arms to the two of them.

Jacob was so happy to see his wife and parents reunited again after two decades. He felt accomplished that he was able to bring this joy to the person he loves the most. He takes a deep breath to suppress his tears.

While a few meters away from them, Peter who is usually stone-faced softened and Leo who is usually poker-faced shows a bit of emotion at the sight of the Do Family being reunited. Especially Leo who has seen how the mother and daughter tried to suppress their urge to see and hug each other every time Madam Victoria came to visit Lotus City. The two of them being the closest to Madam Victoria and President Martin never thought that one day they will witness their Boss shed tears in front of them.

The family of four including Jacob catch up over dinner.

After dinner, Jacob finds an opportunity to talk to President Martin in private.

"President Martin." Jacob started.

"Call me Dad. After all, you are my daughter's husband. And you also bring her back to us." President Martin's voice was soft yet dignified.

Jacob nodded.

"Good. You want to say something?" President Martin continued.

Jacob didn't hesitate and directly ask. "Do you have anything to do with Novus Rex?"

President Martin's lips twitched upon hearing Novus Rex. "Does it have something to do with J's threat?"

Jacob nodded in reply. It was already dark outside and the two of them were standing at the balcony looking at the dark forest. President Martin's hand was in his pocket. Jacob turns around to lean his back in the railing of the balcony and watch his wife inside the log house through a sliding glass who is sitting on the sofa chatting with her mother. His face turned affectionate at the site of J laughing.

"They are the last person that I and the Society will get involve with." President Martin cleared Jacob's doubt about them getting involved with Novus Rex.

"And I doubt if my daughter knows anything about them." President Martin continued.
