Chapter 1214 Sibling Revelations
Lennon pondered quietly to himself: I wonder how she's faring now...
The news of Anthony's incarceration sent shockwaves through Yatesville and reached Maeve in Adania.
Without delay, Maeve dialed Damien, her voice urgent, "Dame, aren't you in Yatesville? You were asking about Uncle Anthony a couple of days back, and now he's been arrested!"
"Are you aware of what happened?"
Damien's smirk was faint but unmistakable as he replied, "Yes, I'm aware... I was the one who personally ensured he was taken in."
Maeve's eyes widened in disbelief. She swiftly passed by Charles and the children, heading upstairs. "But why? I always knew Uncle Anthony as a kind-hearted individual."
"His fake exterior fooled you," Damien replied evenly.
With a light sigh, Damien continued, "I'll have Otto send you the details of Anthony's activities over the years."
"Also..." Damien's voice faltered as he gazed towards the hospital garden, where Colin gently guided Lucy's wheelchair along a path lined with blooming daisies. A subtle smile graced his lips as he turned his attention back to the phone.
"Maeve, brace yourself to meet your second younger brother."
From the balcony of the Lenoir family home back in Adania, Maeve furrowed her brow. "Second younger brother?"
"What do you mean? Mom and Dad have both been gone for so long now. Where would another brother come from?"
"He's my twin," Damien disclosed softly.
Damien sighed softly, his gaze lingering on the tranquil scene unfolding in the hospital courtyard below. Beyond the sterile corridors and bustling wards lay a small oasis, a sanctuary for patients and their families.
In that serene space, Colin gently pushed Lucy's wheelchair along a winding path, their laughter mingling with the gentle chatter of Mandy beside them. Cherise trailed a few steps behind, her expression contemplative, lost in her own thoughts.
Damien understood the source of her concern— the man who had selflessly donated his liver to save Lucy. Cherise, his beloved Cherry, ever the angel in his eyes.
"Twin? You have a twin brother?!" Maeve's voice on the phone skyrocketed in disbelief. "That's impossible!"
"I remember vividly the day you were born! There was only one son!" Her tone was incredulous.
"Back then, Uncle Raymond assured me at the time that my younger brother was born with no health complications..." Maeve persisted.
