Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Apology
Translator: 549690339
These were indeed the thoughts of Suri Drew, hoping that he would take them to heart.
Initially, the grandmothers and ladies wanted to ask about their situation, but they realized that they seemed to be focused on one person.
Not only that, but that person also seemed to be deeply buried in their own thoughts, nobody knew what had happened.
So at this moment, they did not know whether they should ask or not.
Just then, one of the grandmothers finally couldn’t resist and immediately began to speak.
“What happened? Is there a problem? Why does this young man seem so upset?”
After hearing this, Suri had wanted to speak, but she opened her mouth and didn’t know what to say in the end.
After all, this was someone else’s private matter. She hadn’t gotten their approval and felt that blurting it out wouldn’t be appropriate.
So in the end, she could only shake her head helplessly and said one sentence,
“What I am about to say may not be very nice.”
Having heard this, the grandmothers knew they shouldn’t probe further, so they quietly nodded and decided not to ask anything else.
They knew when they should do what.
Especially at a time like this; if someone didn’t want to speak, they would never force them to say anything.
After a while, the man finally managed to summon up some courage.
Initially, he had been very timid, and didn’t know how to handle everything.
But now, having heard his friends’ encouragements, he knew what he had to do. He had to try again, because if he gave up this opportunity, he didn’t know if he would ever have the courage to do so again.
So at this moment, he finally looked up and turned towards his younger sister.
“Sister.”
After a while, he finally managed to pry these few words out from between his teeth.
When everyone heard this, they turned to look towards his direction, not knowing who he was or who the lady was he was referring to.
The group was very confused, they had no idea what was happening.
Also, what was going on was so sudden that they couldn’t quite understand it
All the ladies seemed baffled, including his sister. She also seemed clueless as to what was going on.
After a while, he finally plucked up the courage to speak again.
“It’s me, sister.”
He stared straight into the girl’s eyes, and it finally struck her that she wasn’t mistaken. This man wasn’t referring to someone else, but herself.
A look of surprise flashed across the girl’s eyes as she stared directly at Luke, hardly believing what was happening before her eyes.
After a while, she finally whispered a few words between her teeth.
“Bro… Brother, is that you?”
Seeing that she had finally uttered the words, Luke was naturally very happy. His feelings were mixed at that moment.
So, he immediately nodded and said,
“Yes, sister, long time no see.”
After saying that sentence, he didn’t know what else to say.
He felt extremely regretful.
He believed that if he hadn’t left his sister with their parents, they might not have encountered such a situation. Although he had to leave due to his responsibility as an adult man to earn money for the family, he knew that his parents favored boys over girls. Despite all that, he had made that choice, therefore, he felt partly responsible for the hardship his sister had to go through.
Even his sister could hardly believe what she was seeing. After she uttered that sentence, she didn’t say anything else.
The other girls were too stunned to react, completely unprepared for such a development.
Their disbelief mirrored the incredulity they felt at what they were witnessing.
In an instant, everyone fell silent, the surroundings engulfed in dead silence.
The grandmothers understood why he looked so pained yet happy earlier.
It was due to such a reason.
It had to be said, though, that it was indeed very rare for him to encounter his sister in such circumstances.
Everyone mutually agreed to give them some space, none of them said anything.
After a while, Luke finally plucked up the courage to stand up and start walking towards his sister.
Coming to stand before his sister, he seemed to almost collapse.
No matter what, he knew he had to gather his strength.
So at this moment, he said very sincerely,
“I’m sorry sister. I shouldn’t have left you behind, I should have taken you with me.”
After saying this, to everyone’s surprise, he suddenly knelt down.
Seeing this, everyone present expressed some level of surprise. They could hardly believe what they were witnessing.
How could this be?
As for his sister, she was clearly dumbfounded. She felt as if a bucket of cold water had been splashed over her head, and didn’t know what to say.
After a while, she finally shook her head, seemingly holding back tears.
She extended her hand reluctantly, intending to help her brother stand up.
But who knew, he just didn’t want to get up.
He kept shaking his head, speaking again.
“I really didn’t expect that our parents would send you to such a place, only when I came home later did I know. Originally I wanted to find you, but someone plotted against me and had me locked in a room.”
Hearing this, Suri nodded and said,
“Yes, we indeed did escape that hellish place.”
Everyone was baffled by this and had no idea what had happened to them.
So during the time they were missing, some incredible things had actually happened.
Everyone looked very troubled.
