Jia Huan looked at Thomas seriously, with sad eyes:

"Actually - actually I have a younger brother."

After hearing this, Thomas said "hmm" without changing his expression. Jia Huan was a little confused. Could it be that Thomas had known about it for a long time? But Si Boning once said that in order to get closer to Thomas, his brother's affairs were kept secret for the time being.

good.

It wasn't Sparrow who said that. Did Thomas investigate himself?!

Jia Huan swallowed, feeling more and more unfathomable about her adoptive father.

In fact, it is completely reasonable for Thomas to investigate Jia Huan. Of course, the main reason is because of the snake pattern on Jia Huan's body that represents the identity of the successor. Even if he knew it was a fake, Thomas would not let go of any clue.

Seeing Jia Huan's originally clear eyes gradually becoming confused, Thomas felt affection for her. He raised his hand to caress her cheek. This graceful outline resembled that woman's. Many things had been determined, and Thomas was almost ready to reveal the secret.

He blurted it out, but now, he hesitated.

If she tells Jiahuan everything, she will have to face and bear the heavy burden. Although Thomas expects her to be strong, brave and outstanding, he also hopes that Jiahuan can live the life she likes. Live the kind of life Thomas wants.

A simple, happy and even ordinary life that neither Moy nor I have ever experienced.

"Jia Huan~" Thomas said affectionately. This was the first time he called Jia Huan by her Chinese name. This name was full of the woman's hope. How could he be willing to deprive Jia Huan of her right to choose the life she wanted?! Maybe he

I was really wrong back then, and this is the result.

"I will help you find a home." Thomas reluctantly said this promise.

Jia Huan looked at Thomas in disbelief: "Daddy, you really don't blame me for keeping this secret from you? I -"

"No! Moy, it's because I'm too anxious. It's because I love you too much. It's because I'm selfish and just want to keep you by my side at all costs. It won't be like this in the future. You have the right to have your own relatives and lovers, I understand.

"

Thomas's voice was rational yet sad. Jia Huan's heart skipped a beat, as if the man in front of her was not Thomas, but a poor man who was hurt by love and confused. Jia Huan even had the urge to hug, comfort, and protect him.

Thomas smiled at himself, as if he felt that he was gibbering in a daze again, but he didn't say anything else. On the first day when he brought his family to Sherlock, he lost control once, and one more time wouldn't hurt.

.

Thomas smiled softly, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and his eyes became serious:

"Back then, did you see the corpses of your parents with your own eyes? Oh, no!" After Thomas finished speaking, seeing Jia Huan's expression, he felt that his question was too cruel, so he changed his answer: "No, I wanted to ask

, how did your parents’ funeral arrangements proceed?”

Faced with Thomas' concern, Jia Huan could not refuse to answer and had to take a deep breath.

"After the accident, the mine immediately organized villagers to carry out rescue operations. They dug for three whole days, but no one was found, and then the matter was abandoned. It is said that more than twenty people died that time, and the mine owner kept dragging

No compensation was given, and there were so many people making trouble during the day that the mine owner distributed some money to others, probably because he kept holding back on our peeing.

The family was in a bad mood, and we really had no money for food, so they went to the mine owner in the middle of the night to argue with me without telling me. In fact, I was not asleep at all at that time. When I left the house, I got up from the bed. I found that he actually

I brought a dagger, so I kept following him because I was worried.

Unexpectedly, I happened to see the mine owner running away with the money. Jiashan immediately pulled the mine owner to prevent him from leaving, and the two of them had a conflict. When I caught up with him, Jiashan was being beaten violently by the mine owner. I was anxious, so I jumped from the ground

I picked up the knife. Originally, I just wanted to scare that person, but who knows, that person grabbed my hair and raised his hand to hit me.

Jiashan rushed from behind him to save me, and the three of us got entangled together——"

"He just died earlier, which made it easier for him."

Thomas shook Jia Huan's trembling little hand and comforted him. Even if the mine owner escaped by chance, Thomas would have used more painful methods to deal with him. In this way, it was really a blessing for him to die earlier.

Jia Huan nodded and said nothing more. If the bloody dagger and blood-stained hands were the beginning of her nightmare, then the subsequent escape was the beginning of her nightmare.

Jia Huan will never forget what Jia Shan said when he forced her to cross the river. He hated her!

It was she who killed her parents. If it were not for raising money to treat her illness, they would still be a complete and happy family of four. They have a father, a mother and a younger brother, but now, they have nothing.

A drop of tears slipped quietly down her cheek. This was the first time Jia Huan had the courage to recall this incident when she was awake, but it was as painful as experiencing it again. In the dream, Jia Huan could let the huge waves and endless whirlpools sweep over her.

She was devouring herself, but as for the reality, she couldn't do anything or change it.

Thomas held her in his arms lovingly and gently wiped away the tears on Jia Huan's cheeks:

"Don't be afraid, you still have me!"

Jia Huan listened to Thomas' strong heartbeat and sobbed in his arms with peace of mind, but she didn't know that at this moment Thomas was so regretful that he almost bit his teeth into pieces.
