Chapter 720: Siblings Reunited

Evelyn hesitated, not knowing what to do.

Although she had always felt that L had no intention of harming her, knowing that L and Caden Lockwood were enemies, she couldn’t just rely on her intuition to trust L anymore.

“What is your relationship with my brother?” Evelyn asked cautiously, “You say you’re going to meet my brother, should I really believe that? If it’s really my brother, why can’t I tell Caden?”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Evelyn held her breath, able to hear her own heart beating wildly, “thump thump.”

She waited for that answer.

“I am your brother.” L finally spoke, his voice carrying a strong sense of oppression.

Hearing that, Evelyn’s eyes froze, she couldn’t quite believe what L had said.

But actually, it seemed like she had long suspected that L was her brother.

Evelyn was stunned, upon learning the truth, she found herself unable to say a word.

She had been looking for her brother all this time, but now that she truly found him, her emotions seemed to be mixed with a hint of worry amidst the joy.

After all, if L was her brother, then her brother and her husband would be enemies!

“Do you remember when you were little, you loved watermelon-flavored candy, but you didn’t have much pocket money, so I would often give you half of mine to buy candy. As a result, you ate so much candy that you got cavities, and Dad gave me a hard beating for it. You felt bad and promised never to eat candy again.”

Listening to L’s words, Evelyn’s eyes widened, certain memories rushing back to her mind.

“And you liked a little white bunny toy. Mom said she’d buy it for you if you behaved and got your vaccination. But you were so scared of needles that you refused to get vaccinated. I told you that if you didn’t want to do it, I’d take two shots for you. You didn’t want me to suffer twice, so you bravely shared the burden with me,” L continued.

Listening to L’s slow, emotionally charged narrative, Evelyn’s nose tingled, and her eyes became misty with tears.

These were all things that happened with her brother.

Back then, having a brother felt like the happiest thing in the world.

Because her brother adored her even more than her parents did.

Before her parents passed away, she lived like a princess.

Although her family wasn’t very wealthy, her parents earned enough to provide a good life for them.

Thinking back to those bygone days now only made Evelyn feel sorrowful.

“Afterwards, Mom and Dad went to heaven, and since we had no relatives, we were sent to the orphanage. Someone wanted to adopt me, but my condition was that they also take my sister. That family favored boys over girls and refused to take you, so I argued with them and offended the director.”

“…”

“From then on, the director often abused us, leaving us without food. I had no choice but to run away with you, yet… I failed to take good care of you and ended up losing you for so long,” L spoke in an apologetic tone.

“Brother.” Evelyn cried out, “Where are you? I’m coming to find you, I’m coming to find you right now!”

These details of living together only her brother could recount.

She found her brother!

She really found her brother!

At this moment, Evelyn had no other thoughts.

All she wanted was to throw herself into her brother’s arms, feel his presence, and for the siblings to be reunited. That was enough!
