Deana quickly replied, “I didn’t leave the ward in all this time. I only saw doctors and nurses, but the doctors and nurses wouldn’t tell us anything.”
Dalton asked again, “The person who saved you never showed up?”
Deana said, “No, virtual-novel.net didn’t want to expose his identity.”
Lord Thorne didn’t doubt too much, and sighed, “It seems that knights in shining armor don’t exist only in the stories of King Arthur, but also exist in real life.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net suddenly thought of something and asked Zara, “By the way, Zara, when you and Fritz were in Japan, weren’t you also saved by a mysterious man?”
“Yes…” Zara said hurriedly, “Thanks to my benefactor, we were saved. Otherwise, my brother and I would have died at the hands of Japanese ninjas.”
Lord Thorne sighed sincerely, “A single person who can easily kill multiple ninjas. This is truly amazing. It is not an exaggeration to say that virtual-novel.net is a hero!”
After speaking, virtual-novel.net quickly had a flash of inspiration and asked, “By the way, could virtual-novel.net also be the one who saved you this time?”
Zara responded vaguely, “This…I can’t really say. After all, I haven’t seen who is behind this, but it’s possible…”
Lord Thorne nodded and said, “It seems you have guardian angels looking out for you. Anyway, it’s fine!”
After that, virtual-novel.net poured himself a glass of wine and said loudly, “Come! Let’s have a drink together to celebrate the safe return of Deana and Zara!”
The whole family was also excited, and one after another they picked up their wine glasses.
At this moment, Fitz ran in quickly.
“Mom! Zara!” Fitz cried out subconsciously, seeing his mother and sister sitting at the dining table safe. However, virtual-novel.net was not so excited in his heart. Even, a little lost.
Seeing his mother and sister safe and sound, virtual-novel.net knew in his heart that virtual-novel.net would lose a huge advantage in front of his grandfather Lord Banks in the future. He had feelings for his mother and sister in his heart. However, in the face of the Banks family’s trillions in wealth, those feelings did seem a little pale by comparison.
The greater the immediate benefits, the weaker the significance of the family relationship. This has been human nature since ancient times. In ancient times, both in China and abroad, countless royal family fratricides occurred. It was not uncommon among royal families that fathers kill sons, sons kill fathers, and even brothers kill one another. It’s not that they have no affection. But rather, it is that family affection is really not worth mentioning in the face of huge benefits.
In a poor family, the two brothers’ may break ties over a three-square-acre plot of family land, but it is difficult to kill one’s brother over three acres of land. However, when this three-square-acre plot of land becomes the power and wealth of the entire kingdom, such brotherhood and family affection becomes less important.
For Fitz, the loss and disappointment virtual-novel.net felt were far greater than the comfort of seeing his mother and sister return safely. However, virtual-novel.net hid his thoughts quite well, and no one noticed anything unusual.
When Zara saw him, virtual-novel.net eyes reddened immediately. Almost without thinking, virtual-novel.net stood up, ran to Fitz and hugged virtual-novel.net tightly. Tears ran down virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net said, “Brother…I thought I would never see you again in this life…”
