Chapter 235 Surprise

• Due to Susan’s weak constitution, she couldn’t bear such ups and downs. Therefore, she fell asleep holding my hand after taking her medicine. I took the family photo by the bed and observed it carefully. I was three years old at that time, my brother was seven, and my parents were still in their prime.
• Gerard was handsome when he was young, his face more angular than Damian’s gentle face. Susan was also pretty and graceful; donning a white gown, she looked like a noble princess. Even though Damian mentioned that she was eight years Gerard’s junior, her constant longing for her missing daughter had her falling prey to various illnesses throughout the years, resulting in her current sickly constitution. Therefore, she looked slightly older than Gerard now.
• I rubbed my fingers against her graying hair and the crow’s feet at the corner of her eyes before pulling her in for a tight embrace. Home was wherever my mother was. Having finally found my home, I was no longer a lonely orphan.
