Chapter 299


    Chapter 299 The Truth Was Shocking!


    When Lyra heard this, she frowned in confusion. However, she saw that the bearded man was shocked


    and looked at Hank in horror. “You, you know?” Hank did not answer him. Instead, he let the innkeeper


    and Keith carry Uncle Zhang out. When he opened the door of the rescue car, he found that the driver


    had already disappeared without a trace. “As long as we find this person, the truth will be revealed.”


    Everyone in the vige was looking for the missing driver. But this person seemed to have disappeared


    into thin air, and there was no news of him.


    That night, Uncle Zhang woke up. However, he didn’t want to see anyone, and he just asked the


    innkeeper to call Lyra over.


    “Me?”


    “I’ll wait for you outside. Don’t worry.” Hank stood next to her, his voice low. But these words of his gave


    Lyra an invisible power. She nodded and walked forward. The entire room was very dark. Uncle Zhang


    leaned against the bedside and watched Lyrae in. An apologetic smile suddenly appeared on his


    aged face. “Girl,e a little closer.” Lyra didn’t hide the doubt on her face. Uncle Zhang slowly


    sighed, “You look very simr to your father. I should have discovered it earlier. Your eyes are exactly


    the same as his.” “You remember him?” Lyra was a bit excited. Uncle Zhang bitterly smiled and shook


    his head, “Then, how could I forget something that is deeply engraved in my memory?” He reached into


    his clothes and took out an old yellow picture with wrinkles. His hand trembled slightly as he reached


    out to Lyra. “Look, it’s these five people, right?” Lyra looked at the photo. It was the same photo as the


    one she got, but it was not the same one.


    “Are you willing to tell me what happened back then?” Lyra frowned. Uncle Zhang sighed deeply.


    “If I tell you, you will live a very painful life. Are you still willing to listen?” Lyra was stunned for a


    moment, but soon replied, “My life will not be more bitter than it is now.”


    She had a hunch that she might be able to solve all the doubts today. “Twenty years ago, apany


    was responsible for the construction project on the east side of the town…” The project had been


    dyed for three years before it waspleted. The manager who was mainly responsible was Drake.


    He was very kind and serious. All the materials were in his hands. Originally, this was a good thing. The


    local economy would also be stimted by this project. But on the day of inspection, the whole building


    turned into ruins in an instant. Two people died.


    One was from their vige, named Guo Tian, and the other was Hank’s father, Cunyong Barnwell. Lyra


    waspletely stunned. “How could…”


    She never knew how Hank had be an orphan. When he went to the Jones family to propose


    marriage, he was already alone. “Uncle Zhang, was that an ident, or was it man-made?” Lyra slowly


    tightened her fingers. Uncle Zhang’s gaze became profound. He coughed twice and slowly closed his


    eyes. “It was an ident, but because the materials were all picked up by someone, there had been


    hidden dangers since then.” Uncle Zhang said and coughed twice. His entire body stooped, the pain on


    his body forcing him to temporarily stop. “Please slow down,” Lyra immediately went forward to support


    him, helping him to massage his back. Uncle Zhang’s coughing continued for quite a while before it


    gradually stopped. His cloudy eyes reflected the dim light, and also Lyra’s face. “I didn’t tell you these


    things before because I didn’t want you to live in the shadows of the older generation. No matter who


    was wrong at that time, it was already in the past!”


    The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He tightly grabbed Lyra’s hand, “Little girl, listen to


    me. It’s already in the past. There are also people who have paid an irreparable price for this matter.


    Let it go, okay?” Looking at Uncle Zhang’s sincere appearance, Lyra really couldn’t say anything to


    refuse. Uncle Zhang’s hand trembled, “It has already been so long, there really is no need to look back.


    Don’t be like that brat of the Barnwell family, trapping himself in hatred for his entire life.” After Uncle


    Zhang said this, he leaned back and weakly waved his hand on the pillow. “When the road is


    essible, you can leave. Don’te back, and don’t look for me again.” Lyra took a deep breath,


    “Uncle Zhang, tell me one more thing, and I will agree not to disturb you anymore.” Uncle Zhang slowly


    nodded, “Go ahead.”


    “Who took these two photos?” Although there were five people in the photos, at that time, someone


    must have been holding a camera. The man who didn’t appear in these photos was the culprit! Uncle


    Zhang’s wrinkled face revealed a surprised expression. “If you don’t want to say his name, tell me what


    his surname is.”


    Why would the bearded uncle hate L for no reason?


    He even wanted to burn his own house to burn his daughter to ashes!


    Uncle Zhang trembled as he reached out and grabbed Lyra’s palm. He trembled as he extended a


    finger and slowly wrote a word in her palm. Tears overflowed from his eyes.


    “!, I was too short-sighted when I was young. I took his dirty money. In this life, I feel guilty. I am sorry


    for the Barnwell family. I am sorry for your father…” After more than ten minutes, Lyra left Uncle


    Zhang’s room. She looked at the man at the end of the corridor in a daze. The moonlight was wrapped


    around his body, and the side of his face was so cold. Lyra suddenly thought of what Sister Zhang had


    once said. Hank was not born to be cold and indifferent. He had experienced unimaginable pain and


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    became like this.


    He was indeed cold but he made one’s heart ache.


    Hearing the footsteps, the man turned around and saw Lyra lowering her head to wipe her tears. He


    stepped forward and asked, “Do you know now?” Lyra nodded.


    She lowered her head. Uncle Zhang had just told her one more thing. Hank did not know the identity of


    the culprit. Thest request he made was to hope that Lyra would not tell Hank the truth. If he found


    out, the Kensley family would be the next Jones family.


    And everything he did to the Jones family would be a scar in his heart forever. Why not let it go?


    Hank frowned and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but Lyra dodged to the side. “So,


    it’s really my dad who let your family down.” Her voice was shallow as it circled the entire corridor.


    When she looked at Hank again, her eyes were filled with a touch of determination and indifference.


    “Hank, I hope you will never forgive me.”


    The man stood still and watched Lyra walk away. He wanted to chase after her, but the pain in his heart


    made him unable to take a step.


    Finally, this day came.


    Lyra knew all the truth. Thest secret between them disappeared.
