Chapter 192
On the other hand, Miranda was still as calm as before. She gently patted Lisa’s head as if she was comforting Lisa.
“Can I trouble you to take care of Lisa for me?” Miranda’s gaze landed on Marina
Marina nodded and held Lisa’s hand.
Miranda slowly walked to Brendon’s body.
Brendan’s body was covered with a flag
His remain had already been tidied up very well.
He still looked majestic.
Miranda looked at him and smiled. “Don’t you like the way I look when I put on makeup the most? Look at my makeup today. Does it look good?
“I just think the color of the lipstick is a little pale because those lipsticks from the past are all out of date.
“I mentioned this to you before, and you said you’d buy it for me when you got back.
“You liar. Hurry up and get up to buy it for me.” Miranda smiled with tears in her eyes. Her choked voice made everyone present feel sad.
“When you proposed to me, you said that you would protect me for the rest of my life. It’s just that at that time, I didn’t know that you men were used to lying. You didn’t do anything you promised me.”
Miranda whispered to Brendon beside him.
Although tears were already welling up in her eyes, she did not let them run down her face.
She didn’t want Brendon to watch her cry.
Every time he saw her cry, he would be at a loss.
There were rumors among the people that after a person died, if their family members cried too sadly, the souls of the dead could not help but look back on the way to heaven.
As soon as they looked back, they had lost the qualifications to go to heaven.
They would become lonely souls and couldn’t rest in peace.
She couldn’t let Brendon worry.
She had to smile and let him rest in peace.
Besides, she couldn’t shed tears in front of Lisa.
Marina looked at the scene in front of her and could not help but tighten her grip on Lisa’s hand.
Brendon died in the line of duty.
At the memorial service, his former colleagues came to pay their respects.
Marina and Frank stayed by Miranda’s side the entire time and helped her deal with all kinds of things.
Two days later, Brendon was buried in the Cemetery of Martyrs.
After everyone else left, Marina sent Miranda and Lisa home.

Moreover, she handed over all the pensions allocated by the army headquarters to them.
Miranda glanced at the amount of money.
“Is it that much”
“Yes, the higher–ups have taken into account Brendon’s meritorious service over the years, so the amount of the pension is huge. Marina did not tell the
truth
A large portion of this money was personally funded by her.
However, she was afraid that Miranda would not accept it, so she handed it to Miranda in the name of a pension.
“Thank you.” Miranda carefully put it away and murmured, “This sum of money is enough for Lisa to live in the future.”
“My condolences.” Marina could only comfort Miranda when she saw Miranda like this.
Because she had never been good at comforting people.
“Thank you.” Miranda nodded and looked at Marina. “I’ve always heard people call you Captain. Are you the Captain that Brendon kept talking about?”
“Yes.” Marina did not deny it.
“So you’re so young. Brendon told me before that the Captain is young and outstanding, making him feel especially inferior.
“It seems that he really didn’t lie at all,” Miranda still looked gentle.
She was really a typical gentle woman.
She exuded gentleness from head to toe.
“He’s also very amazing.” Marina was not flattering him.
If Brendon didn’t have the ability, how could he have become the vice–captain?
“That’s right. He’s always been very amazing. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have married him back then.” When Miranda said this, the smile on her face deepened.
“By the way, since you’re the Captain of Brendon, can I trouble you with something?” Miranda asked again.
“Go ahead,” Marina replied readily.
“Lisa has been very sad these past two days because of her father’s death. The teacher at school said that she needs to get a document, but she has been locking herself in her room. I’m worried about her staying at home alone. Can you help me get it?” Miranda asked.
“Of course. Tell me the address of Lisa’s school,” Marina agreed without hesitation.
“Okay” Miranda added Maxna on Whatsapp and sent her the school’s address.
Marina drecked the address. It was not far from here.
Then, she drove to Lisa’s school.
Lisa’s teacher was a young lady. When she knew what had happened to Lisa’s family, she felt very regretful and said that she would visit Lisa’s family
after she was done.
Marina had a good impression of Lisa’s teacher.
When she came back from collecting the documents, she found Frank playing with Lisa at the amusement park downstairs.
“Why are you guys here?” Marina immediately stepped forward.

64.
“Miranda told me that Lisa was very upset because of the vice–captain’s matter, so she asked me to bring her down to relax,” Frank explained.
“How long have you been down here?” Marma frowned when she heard this.
“About an hour.” Frank looked at the time.
“Oh no!” Marina cried out in her heart and quickly ran upstairs.
As expected, the door was already locked from the inside.
No matter how hard Marina knocked on the door, there was no movement inside.
“Kick the door!” Marina did not hesitate at all as she looked at Frank.
“Yes!”
The two of them immediately retreated and kicked the tightly shut door together.
Under their strength, the door collapsed.
Marina rushed in immediately.
Miranda was not in the living room.
Marina immediately walked toward the bedroom.
When she saw the figure lying on the bed in the bedroom, she immediately turned around and covered Lisa’s eyes.
“Mommy, I want Mommy!” Lisa struggled in Marina’s arms.
“Take her out first!” Marina ordered.
“Lisa, be good. I will take you out to play.” After receiving the signal, Frank immediately picked up Lisa.
“I don’t want to go out. I waht my mother!” Lisa struggled with all her might.
However, how could she break free from Frank’s shackles since she was little?
In the end, she could only be carried away by him.
As for Marina, after making sure that they had left, she stepped into the house.
In the room, Miranda was lying peacefully on the bed.
She tidied herself up very well and her clothes were all brand new.
Her makeup was also very beautiful.
From afar, she looked like she was sound asleep.
But Marina knew that she was no longer breathing,
