Betrayed On My Wedding Eve Chapter 43

Betrayed On My Wedding Eve Chapter 43

Lena’s Congo journals completed online.

Thousands wept for Julian.

Readers traveled to the cemetery on their own to pay their respects.

Even his parents appeared in the media, speaking about what a good and selfless man he had been.

Someone dug up their history. The public turned on them.

Anonymous wreaths filled their hallway.

They moved out in the middle of the night. No one knows where.

Julian was posthumously awarded the Nansen Refugee Award by the UNHCR.

For outstanding service in the protection and support of refugees.

Brendan didn’t join MSF.

He took over the flower shop near the cemetery.

Something Lena said that day brought back a memory: mud in the backyard, him and Julian as small children.

Julian asking what he wanted to be when he grew up.

He’d said: A flower shop. A really big one.

He’d forgotten. Until then.

Every year, no matter how far away the work took her, Lena made time to visit her mother and Julian.

Those were the only days he was certain to see her.

The rest of the time, he watched her footprints cross the Middle East, Eastern Europe, everywhere the fires burned.

He waited for each visit.

Though she had long since stopped thinking of him that way.

He decided that seeing her at all was enough.

Jade became a cautionary tale.

Even her closest friends cut her off.

She found Brendan. Found that his eyes had room for only one person.

She had made herself into a punchline.

Lena’s half-sister died two years later.

Her stepmother, who had cost Lena her home, lost her own daughter.

She and Lena’s father divorced.

He was alone now in a way he hadn’t been before.

He died not long after.

Lena continued supporting the children she and Julian had saved.

Liam and Marie became, in the end, exactly what they’d said they would.

A journalist and a doctor.

Many years later, Lena received the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism.

In her acceptance speech she said:

“If you cannot stop a war, tell the world the truth of it. Be its eyes.”
