74 A Father's Request

The picture frame had a picture of a gorgeous young woman who looked to be in her early twenties. She was wearing a military uniform and was hugging Sir Derek in the photograph.

The photograph seemed to be quite old not because it was worn or anything because the photograph was actually a display, but rather because Sir Derek looked significantly younger in the photo. Similarly, the background of the photo resembled the bakery but many of the things such as the wallpaper were different from what they look like now.

"Her name is Mary. Mary Hilton." Sir Derek said with a warm and graceful smile on his face.

"She joined the military about 7 years ago and this was the last time that I ever saw her in person." Sir Derek continued but his smile slowly started to fade and his eyes began to sparkle a bit.

Mako was still analyzing the picture and when he looked toward Sir Derek's face, he realized the severity of the situation.

Sir Derek was crying!
