Chapter 418 - Walking Down The Aisle (1/2)

Hidden amongst the guests, Hummingbird and Orca looked at the bride and gasped. Who knew that their captain was this beautiful in real life.

Hummingbird was especially surprised. ”Is this the legendary couple that you once mentioned?” she asked with admiration. Ever since the night that Orca mentioned a couple that had met while on mission and was now married with a child, the solitary Hummingbird had begun to imagine the possibilities of sharing her life with another person.

But, it wasn't just anyone. In particular, a handsome Italian man often appeared in her dreams and the scene of their last goodbye often played over in her mind. This man was Wolf. What would have happened if she had gathered her courage that night and kissed him? Would things be any different right now? Would they be as happy as the couple that was currently getting married?

”Are we the only BTAs that have been called back to attend this wedding?” Hummingbird couldn't help but ask Trisha who was standing beside them.

Trisha nodded her head. ”Sasquatch is still in Tibet with Lotus and Wolf is still waiting to raid the drug cartel in Medellin. I called you girls back because you're the only ones that have completed your missions so far.”

Hummingbird nodded but there was slight disappointment in her eyes.

”Why did you ask? Were you hoping to see someone?” Trisha probed with suspicion when she saw the woman's chirpy expression sink.

Hummingbird immediately shook her head, ”I simply thought the team would be reunited again for this special occasion.” She then turned her focus back to the bride while a slight smirk appeared on Trisha's face.

Standing on the red carpet that ran down the center of the ballroom, Halia took one careful step at a time as she carried her daughter in her arms. Usually, a father accompanied a bride down the aisle and handed his daughter to his new son-in-law, but Father Feng had already done that on the day that they signed their marriage papers, so this time, he handed his daughter to his granddaughter instead. The mother and daughter were beautiful like a princess and a queen inside a castle.

In front of them, Pumpkin led the way as he grabbed the pastel pink rose petals from the basket in his hands and threw them in the air. Usually, the flower girl did this, but Laurie was currently in her mother's arms, so he took over the responsibility. Nothing about this wedding was conventional anyway.

The ballroom was massive and the aisle was a lot longer than Halia could believe. As she glanced at the people on the sides, she was surprised by the amount of guests that were there. Did she and Jackson actually know this many people? But, then again, Jackson owned one, no two, of the biggest casinos in Macau, and Halia owned one of the biggest baijiu breweries in China. Moreover, their fathers were influential businessmen with connections all over the world. Everyone wanted to attend and congratulate the union of these two prestigious families.

Halia smiled thankfully at her guests. At first, she didn't recognize many of the faces. Clearly, acquaintances and business partners were seated further at the back of the ballroom. But as she got closer to the front, familiar faces began to come into view. First, she spotted the doctors from Peking University Hospital: Isaac, Ivan, and Vincent; three men that she had once suspected of being serial killers. And, next to them stood the head nurse, May, who had helped her during her time at the hospital. Lily wasn't amongst them, but Halia knew, without a doubt that she was a part of the bridal party that was waiting for her at the end of the aisle.
