Chapter 849 Because I love you, and you love them, I find myself instinctively loving them too.
Dad adored Mom, and since Mom loved Aiden, he must have found himself liking Aiden too, subconsciously, sincerely.
So I'm certain, the one who hurt Aiden years ago, it couldn't have been Dad." Elysia, of course, believed Tarquin, her face etched with confusion, "I've heard you praise Dad's character before, so I didn't believe it either. But when I asked Keith, he was so sure! He said he'd recognize Dad even if he turned to ashes, that it was Dad who dragged him up the hill that night." Tarquin frowned in thought; it couldn't be Kendrick! But Keith wouldn't lie to Elysia without reason.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhere did the problem lie? If Keith mistook someone for Kendrick, it meant that person must have closely resembled Kendrick, at least in appearance and build.
But who could it be? Kendrick didn't have any brothers.
Could someone have intentionally disguised themselves as Kendrick to mislead Keith? But Keith was so young at the time, what was the point in misleading him? "What happened after he was taken to the hill?" Elysia shook her head, "Keith didn't say, but I guess it must have been something terrible, or he wouldn't say Dad pushed him into the abyss!" Tarquin's brows furrowed tighter, "..." Elysia continued, "He hates Dad; he thinks Dad took Mom away from him and then failed to cherish her, leading to her early death. He believes all the misfortunes that befell him and Mom later were Dad's doing.
But since Dad passed away early, he's directed all his hatred towards you, wanting to torment you, to make you suffer every conceivable misery before killing you." At this, Elysia shivered with fear, trembling uncontrollably.
Tarquin snapped back from his thoughts, pulling her into his arms to comfort her before asking, "Did Keith mention any grudges against the Bradford family?" At this, Elysia's expression changed, she untangled herself from his embrace, turned to look out the window, and stayed silent for a long while before turning back to him, grinding her teeth, "Gideon is a monster! The Bradfords are all beasts!" Tarquin: "?" Elysia's emotions surged, her breathing unsteady, "Keith said he was once happy, very happy, like the three little ones I've raised, until Gideon suddenly appeared..." Years ago, in Border City.
Back then, Keith was just a few years old, and he wasn't called Keith; his nwas Quinlan.
