Chapter 43


    Chapter 43 It’s You!


    rissa smiled and nodded, saying, “Yes, it’s the wolves from the painting! I was only five at the


    time, truly scared as the wolves approached me. I could see the ferocity in their eyes and smell the


    stench from their mouths. I thought I was going to be


    eaten.


    “And it was at that moment, he appeared!”


    Ophelia looked down at the painting of the boy with a gentle smile.


    “A boy appeared, dressed in tattered clothes, with a little girl around my age. He was brave and


    fierce, charging at the wolves, driving them away, saving me from despair.


    “He then patted my head, handed me a piece of bread, smiled. gently at me, and reassured me that


    everything was okay.


    “At that moment, I truly felt like he was sent from above to


    rescue me.


    “Unfortunately, before I could even speak to him, he left. I was soon found by my parents and


    brought back. But in my mind, I could never forget that scene, and I wanted to paint it.


    “And that’s how this painting came to be.


    “Unfortunately, I hadn’t started learning to paint at that time, so


    the painting isn’t very good.”


    With that, rissa carefully handed the painting back to


    Osborne.


    “Mr. Augustine, this painting means a lot to me. I hope you’ll take good care of it.”


    Osborne, however, was frozen in ce, lost in thought.


    He pondered, “Why does rissa’s description sound so much. like what happened to me fifteen


    years ago?


    The only difference is that I drove away a pack of wild dogs, not wolves!”


    “Ms. Radcliffe, even though the street in your painting looks old, it must be within a city, right? How


    could there be wolves in such a ce?” Wesley inquired.


    Embarrassed, rissa exined, “I was too young to recognize wolves at the time. I just thought


    they looked fierce and assumed they were wolves.


    “Later, I found out they were just a group of stray dogs.”


    After rissa finished, Wesley nodded with a smile.


    “For a five–year–old like Ms. Radcliffe, mistaking stray dogs for wolves is quite normal. Luckily,


    someone helped drive them


    away, or else if they had harmed you, even the heavens wouldn’t forgive them.”


    Chapter 43 It’s You!


    Meanwhile, Osborne waspletely stunned.


    He eximed, looking at rissa, “Ms. Radcliffe, how old are you this year?”


    Osborne’s question surprised everyone.


    Wesley and Ophelia thought it was quite impolite to ask a woman her age.

    Fortunately, rissa didn’t mind and smiled, “I’m twenty years


    old.”


    Osborne was shocked.


    He thought, “Twenty years old? rissa mentioned she ran away from home when she was five.


    That means the incident happened fifteen years ago.


    The timing matched up!”


    Surprised, Osborne quickly asked, “Ms. Radcliffe, is the location of the street in your painting in


    Cloudsea City?”


    “Huh?”


    Now, it was rissa’s turn to be surprised.


    She looked at Osborne, asking, “Mr. Augustine, how did you know it’s Cloudsea City? I’ve never


    told anyone the location in


    Chapter 43 It’s You! the painting.”


    Without answering, Osborne continued, “Is it Morningstar Street in Cloudsea City? Near the


    Cloudsea Sports Arena, leading to Cloudsea Lake?”


    After Osborne’s words, rissa’s eyes widened in shock.


    4/6


    If Osborne had only mentioned the city name, she wouldn’t have thought much of it, as many knew


    she spent her childhood in Cloudsea City.


    But Morningstar Street, such a specific address, was unknown to


    anyone.


    Even her parents didn’t know.


    rissa gazed at Osborne, her once aloof expression now transformed into a mix of excitement


    and urgency. Suddenly, she leaped up, grabbing Osborne’s arm.


    “How did you know? Please don’t tell me you figured it out from this painting. My art skills were


    terrible back then, and the street I painted doesn’t resemble Morningstar Street at all!


    “Why do you know?


    “Who are you, really?”


    rissa’s fervent words shocked Wesley and Ophelia, who exchanged a concerned nce,


    sensing something amiss.


    Chapter 43 It’s You!


    After a moment of astonishment, Osborne let out a bitter


    chuckle.

    He thought for a moment, then decided not to hide the truth. “Because I was an orphan, and fifteen


    years ago, I happened to be in Cloudsea City, taking my sister to Morningstar Street.


    “If I remember correctly, that day was February 2nd.”


    “I never would have imagined that the lovely little girl, who cried in fear at the sight of stray dogs,


    would turn out to be you.”


    As Osborne finished speaking, rissa was leftpletely stunned.


    Her frame began to tremble violently, tears welling up in her eyes and streaming down her cheeks.


    Yet, her grip on Osborne’s arm only tightened.


    “February 2nd, that’s right! It was February 2nd!”


    “It’s you! It’s really you!”

    “I’ve finally found you!” rissa eximed before suddenly throwing herself into Osborne’s arms,


    holding him tightly around the neck.


    Osborne stood there dumbfounded, his body stiff with shock.


    Wesley and Ophelia were equally dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at rissa clinging tightly to


    Osborne.


    Chapter 43 It’s You!


    rissa’s bodyguards, too, stood there in disbelief.
