Chapter 1512 Could Not Accept It

“I don't know...” Cora shook her head. “I was only five at the time, too young to understand anything. He was adopted by my parents from the orphanage. However, after the incident, my parents returned him to the orphanage. Originally, my parents had no plans to adopt another child. However, that changed when they met my younger brother. My younger brother has always been quite handsome. It's a common fact that most people in this world are drawn to attractive people and things. My parents once told me that from the moment they first laid eyes on my younger brother, they were completely captivated. They simply couldn't resist the urge to take him under their wing and bring him home. Although the previous adopted child left a significant psychological scar on my parents, they believed that the reason he was able to hurt me was because he was older than me. My younger brother is five years my junior. For a child, a five-year age gap is quite significant. My younger brother is so much younger than me, so there's no way he could hurt me.”
With her explanation, Martin finally understood.
Having experienced an adopted son who had the audacity to push their own biological daughter off a man-made hill, it was only understandable that Cora's parents were hesitant to adopt another boy of the same age as her. Instead, they chose to adopt a younger boy, which was within the realm of reason.
