Chapter 574


    If it weren''t for Rachael, Benjamin would never have left, let alone chosen to be a deserter.


    "By the time Benjamin came back alone with Rachael, Simon had already left home, and Idris Tucker


    and Lucille Chevalier had already been buried, leaving behind their only child, Nathaniel."


    Compared to Matthew, who was suffering from an emotional breakdown at the moment, Hesper was


    much calmer, so she quickly caught the keyword that came out of Arthur’s mouth. "Alone?"


    Arthur nodded and sighed. "No one knows where Matthew’s mother is now, but Benjamin had been


    looking rather depressed since he came back with Rachael. Heter died in a shipwreck abroad.


    Everyone went on to im that he died for love."


    This waspletely different from the version that Matthew had been hearing since he was a child. In


    his heart, his father died on a mission and was named a hero. But now he was being told by Arthur that


    his father was not only a deserter but also a murderer who had caused many deaths.


    Hesper, noticing that something was wrong with Matthew’s emotions, held his hand.


    Seeing this, Arthur also shook his head. "Your father did a lot of right things in his life and saved a lot of


    people... But perhaps he was still a selfish man in the end."


    Many years had passed since that incident, and Arthur himself was a soldier too, so when something


    like that happened back then, he really wished he could break Benjamin’s leg as a form of punishment.


    But a long time had passed, and the hatred and disappointment that he had for his son back then had


    long dissipated. Thinking about it now, he was just another ordinary man, so what right did he have to


    hate his son?


    Although Hesper was also hearing this story for the first time and did not know much about Matthew’s


    parents, she could not help but feel that there were many loopholes in this story.


    ‘ording to Grandpa, before Matthew was two years old, his father had been performing all tasks


    normally. Although Grandpa didn’t go into the details, I can tell that every mission aplished by the


    team was nowhere near the level of ''simple''. Then why would Matthew’s father decide to escape with


    his wife only when she was pregnant with Rachael?


    ‘It’d be too far-fetched to say that this matter was rted to Matthew’s mother. After all, as long as the


    people who created the drug were still alive and well for another day, Matthew’s mother would have to


    live under the surveince of prying eyes for another day too. So, wouldn’t it be better to crush the


    organization from the root than to run and flee?''

    It had been too long since the incident took ce, and Hesper had never experienced it personally, so


    she only kept these questions in her mind. Seeing the depressed expression on Arthur and Matthew’s


    faces, she could only hold them, using each hand, and get them to take it easy.


    "Nathaniel’s motives are very clear now. He believes that the Lanes caused his family’s ruin, so he’s


    remained dormant in the Lanes all these years, just waiting for a day in the future where he can deal us


    a fatal blow." Hesper analyzed calmly.


    The grandfather and grandson duo did not refute. She then raised a question out of the blue. "But if


    that’s the case, what role do I y in this story?"


    Hesper lifted her gaze, while Arthur and Matthew exchanged gazes with her after hearing her doubt.


    ‘Yes, by just looking at this backstory, everything in it revolves around the old scores between the


    Lanes and the Tuckers... But what does this have to do with Hesper? She''s just an orphan. When all


    these things happened back then, she might not have even been born.’


    ‘Daybreak’s repeated attempts to get near her show that she must y a very important role in this


    story’.


    During this trip back to Emperion, some doubts were revealed, but the mystery had notpletely


    been solved.


    When Hesper and Matthew left the room, both of them were still thinking about what bothered them the


    most in the story. As soon as Arthur decided to bring all these old events up again, recalling the sorrow


    and pain from back then was already inevitable. It turned out that everyone indeed needed time to


    digest and ept the truth.


    "Matt... Hessy."
