She almost spat out her porridge, "You know Daniel Harris?"
He gave her a look as if to say "obviously", "The Harris Family is quite influential in J City. Since I came to J City, naturally, I’ve learned a bit about them. Besides, I’ve encountered him a few times at business conferences and exhibitions."
"Morningstar is a subsidiary of the Harris Family. This Crown Prince has shown a particular interest in the script of ’Sound of the Wind’. Since I’m the screenwriter, I’ve met him a few times," Mabel Quinn said, "To be honest, at first I thought he was an actor and even talked about writing a script to make him famous. I guess he must have found it amusing."
Kyle Kinston’s eyes flickered slightly, "If he really were an actor, would you have made him famous? Do you have feelings for him?"
"Huh?" She was taken aback, feeling his words carried a hint of jealousy, "You’re not... jealous, are you?"
"A little." His thin lips curved slightly, clearly waiting for her answer.
She was speechless. Who talks about jealousy so nonchalantly! "I did have a bit of a crush on him before because his eyes reminded me of an older brother I knew as a child. But not anymore, since he’s not actually that older brother," she confessed.
"How come you never mentioned this older brother before?" he asked.
"I met him when I was a child in Drumbeat Village. That older brother was named Isaac Zimmerman. His eyes were beautiful, yet he couldn’t see anything, as he was blind. Sometimes, I think it’s truly a pity. God gave him such beautiful eyes but no light," she recounted her memories of Drumbeat Village and her moments with Isaac Zimmerman.
He listened quietly until she spoke of the stormy night they returned to the village, after which she fell seriously ill with a fever. When she woke up, her father had already taken her to the city hospital.
Her father told her that before they left the village, someone had taken Isaac Zimmerman away. And from Grace Yowell, she hadn’t learned anything about Isaac’s situation.
After Mabel finished speaking, Kyle’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, his gaze lowered, "If one day, you have the chance to meet that Isaac Zimmerman again, what would you do?"
"I’d probably try to find a way to see if his eyesight could be cured," Mabel thought for a moment and said.
"Nothing else?" he asked.
"I’d also show him ’Sound of the Wind’. If he hasn’t regained his sight, I’d read it to him. The character of Liam Xenos in the book was based on him," Mabel mumbled, a smile unconsciously lifting the corners of her lips, "But I don’t know if there will be a chance to see him again. After all, he seems to be gone from the village. But if we could meet again, going back to Drumbeat Village to reminisce would be quite interesting. After all, we went through life and death together..."
The smile at the corner of her lips felt a little piercing to him, his heart involuntarily constricting as if because of the smile that did not belong to him.
Drumbeat Village... If he remembered correctly, before coming to J City, he had read some information on people from J City. In Daniel Harris’s profile, it mentioned that before returning to the Harris Family at age fifteen, he was wandering outside.
