"Due to identity issues, he was secretly sent abroad and has been receiving treatment since then, but..."
Ralph Koch paused again. He turned his head, looking at Chloe Grant, "But for the past three years, he has been the most restless patient.
In the first year, his injuries were so severe that getting out of bed was a struggle.
By the second year, his condition slightly improved, but he still needed a long period of recuperation. Yet he wasn’t content to stay put and began secretly returning home. His visits weren’t long, lasting only two or three days before returning, but they were frequent, happening every two to three weeks. His body couldn’t withstand such long-term exertion."
"Why?" Chloe Grant asked, not understanding. "Why wouldn’t he just focus on recovering? Why did he insist on returning home?"
"Because there was someone at home he couldn’t stop worrying about!" Ralph Koch fixed his gaze on Chloe Grant, and as he spoke these words, his voice was very low.
He said, "That person is very playful, loves to have fun, and doesn’t know how to restrain herself because she’s still young and has been spoiled from a young age.
And her eyesight isn’t particularly good either.
Although she has his younger brother to take care of her, his brother spoils her too much, so he’s not reassured and has to come back to check on her."
"He also said that this person is an emotionally sensitive child, easily beset with worries that she keeps to herself and refuses to speak about. His brother is not a meticulous person; if she says she’s fine, his brother won’t think too much about it.
But the truth is, if she says she’s fine, that’s when she truly has something on her mind."
The more Ralph Koch spoke, the softer his voice became.
And at this moment...
Chloe Grant was dumbstruck, her eyes welling up uncontrollably with tears.
When she wasn’t paying attention to her trembling eyelashes, tears fell uncontrollably.
Ralph Koch smiled, "So, do you already know who this person is?"
Chloe Grant didn’t answer, but her eyes said it all.
With such a straightforward statement, how could she not know?
"Why did he have to go to such lengths?" Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
After a long while, Chloe Grant finally found her voice.
She still felt like everything was unreal.
"What do you think? A man willing to risk his life for a woman, even after narrowly escaping death, disregards his own health, even suffers hidden ailments but still insists on returning to see this woman. The reason is simply that he fears she might have worries on her mind.
Tell me, what kind of fool would go to such lengths for someone they’re not involved with?"
Chloe Grant didn’t answer, only pressed her lips tightly together.
But these tears... couldn’t be controlled and kept falling.
Chloe Grant closed her eyes, "But... why don’t I know anything?"
"What could you possibly know?" Ralph Koch turned his head, his expression suddenly serious, "Besides Lucas, what else do you know?"
Chloe Grant was reprimanded so severely that she couldn’t even muster a rebuttal.
Ralph Koch got angry as soon as he mentioned this, "You think everything Lucas does is commendable, moved to death by him, infatuated with him beyond belief. But can you distinguish if the person in darkness is truly Lucas, and not that fool?"
"I..." Chloe Grant began but couldn’t say anything.
In the darkness, she was like a blind person.
Chloe Grant closed her eyes, trying to recall the events of the past three years, but damn it, she found...
Suddenly, she couldn’t remember anything.
From when she stepped into the Morgan family, from the moment she first laid eyes on Matthew Morgan... all the scenes swirled in her mind like a carousel, but she couldn’t grasp anything...!
