"Lisha Alcock’s target was me, not him. He wouldn’t have been involved otherwise."
"So, you think you got him hurt?"
"I did get him hurt."
"But, would you rather be the one getting hurt instead of him?"
In that case, she wouldn’t have felt so guilty as she did now.
Her heart wouldn’t have been tormented as it was now.
"Joanna, he did it willingly. You didn’t force him to do that." Gary White objectively analyzed for her, "And at that moment, everything happened so suddenly that you didn’t even think he would do that, right?"
"So how could you blame yourself? Although this incident happened because of you, it was his own choice. I know, no matter what, you would surely feel guilty. But you have to understand one thing - you didn’t do anything wrong in this situation."
"If someone has to be held responsible, it’s Lisha Alcock’s fault. She threw the sulfuric acid, and she hurt people. Actually, I have seen the burn on Maddox Allenson’s hand, and it’s not as severe as you think. He can be considered lucky in this unfortunate situation. If I’m not mistaken, the concentration of the sulfuric acid in that bottle wasn’t very high."
If it was highly concentrated sulfuric acid.
There would definitely not be a single piece of good flesh left on Maddox Allenson’s hand.
And the injury would be much more severe than it currently is.
Joanna Lawrence paused, "That bottle of sulfuric acid, it wasn’t highly concentrated?"
Gary White nodded, "It must have been diluted. The injury on his hand may look terrifying, but it should recover well."
"Really? It can really recover fully?" Joanna Lawrence’s eyes, which were previously dull, finally shimmered with a glint of light, "Mr. White, you’re not deceiving me, are you? Maddox Allenson’s hand can really recover, right? It won’t affect his career in the future, will it?"
Gary White didn’t dare to make any absolute promises, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "The chances of it recovering fully are high. In any case, the injury is not as severe as you think. So, there’s no need for you to feel overly guilty. However, I’m quite grateful to him for blocking that splash for you."
"Hmm?" Joanna Lawrence looked puzzled.
"If he hadn’t blocked it for you, it would have been you who got hurt." Gary White hesitated for a moment, his dark eyes fixed on her face, and after a few seconds, he gently sighed, "Joanna, if you had been the one hurt, I think my heart would ache."
Joanna Lawrence widened her eyes, "Mr. White."
"Lately, I’ve been thinking about something." Gary White looked deep into her black eyes, revealing a hint of complex emotions, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "How nice it would be if my long-lost sister, whom I’ve never met, was you. Do you know that recently, my parents have found some clues and maybe soon, I’ll be able to find my long-lost sister."
"Found clues?" Joanna Lawrence showed a surprised expression and couldn’t help asking, "What did you find? Did you find out where your sister is?"
"Not exactly, but we know something." Gary White didn’t think of hiding anything from Joanna Lawrence and told her everything they had found, "According to the current information, she’s very likely to be in Closia."
"I really didn’t expect that after searching for so many years, looking here and there, she’s actually been living right under our noses."
"We always thought she would’ve moved elsewhere, so we focused our search in other places.
