Chapter 86 I’m Too Merciful
The book in Lynn’s hand fell to the ground. She narrowed her eyes and stared for a long time as if she
couldn’t believe this handsome young man was the little chubby kid who used to lie in her arms with
coquetry.
“Lo… Lorenz?” Her voice was hoarse. Tears streamed down her face as soon as she called out the
name.
Lorenz couldn’t bear it anymore. He rushed over, knelt beside her chair, held her pinched hand, and
choked, “Auntie, I’m sorry I’ve come so late and caused you to suffer so much.”
Lynn couldn’t say a word and kept touching Lorenz’s hair like when he was a child. Her heart was full of
ecstasy and disbelief.
She hadn’t returned to the Green family for more than two decades. The little boy who always asked
her for candies had grown into such a handsome and excellent man.
Cynthia somehow wanted to cry when she saw them being ecstatic and confused. Alston noticed her
emotion and held her in his arms.
Cynthia couldn’t be happier. She buried her face in Alston’s chest and whispered, “I used to live with
my mom.
But now I have you and many other families. Alston, I’m so happy.”
Alston felt a hint of warmness in his heart. He held Cynthia and kissed her forehead. “It gets better. It
always
does.”
It took a long time for Lorenz and Lynn to calm down. Seeing their red eyes and red nose tips, Cynthia
couldn’t help but chuckle. She asked someone to bring cold towels and put them on their swollen eyes.
Lorenz lost all his superior temperament when he saw Lynn. And he kept talking about family stuff over
the
years like a child.
Lynn looked at him lovingly with her eyes full of longing. “Are my parents in good health?”
Lorenz froze for a moment and lowered his head. “Grandpa and grandma have always been in good
health.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut, they fell seriously ill when you disappeared. Although they are healthy, they are not as energetic
as
before. All these years, they never give up on looking for you.”
Lynn’s eyes were full of remorse. Her eyes were red again, and she said softly after a long while, “It’s
all my fault. I’m so sorry. Both of them are old, yet they still keep looking for me. I’m such a horrible
daughter!”
Lorenz held her hand and smiled. “Auntie, what are you talking about? Grandpa and grandma will be
very
happy if they know I’ve found you; even their physical conditions might improve! And Cynthia…”
He smiled and looked at Cynthia, full of pampering, “There are very few girls in the Green family. If you
can
come over, you’ll be loved deeply by my grandparents and my parents.”
Cynthia smiled sweetly, and her delicate face seemed even more beautiful.
Alston’s eyes deepened, and he suddenly said in a low voice, “I guess I have to work harder to be
worthy of Cynthia. Otherwise, your families might kick me out.”
Everyone heard his words and laughed.
Lorenz rolled his eyes at Alston, knowing that he was talking nonsense. Cynthia was married to Alston
and loved him deeply, so the Green family would never break them up.
The chat went on for a while until Lynn felt a bit sleepy. Lorenz saw her yawn and stopped the
conversation. “Auntie, it’s getting late. Rest well, and I will come to see you tomorrow. My family is
going to move to Fort, and we will spend more time together in the future.”
Lynn nodded and looked at all of them with a smile.
She liked these three children very much and hoped they would forever live a carefree and happy life.
Before leaving. Lorenz hesitated for a moment and asked, “Auntie, do you want me to inform my family
that
I’ve found you?”
Lynn frowned slightly and bit her lower lip. She was not young anymore, but she looked exactly like
before
when she made these moves. Lorenz felt warm in his heart.
Sure enough, as Cynthia said, Lynn would always be his aunt no matter how long had passed.
Lynn hesitated for a moment before looking at Lorenz. “Don’t… don’t tell them. I look horrible, and I
fear that they would worry about me. Didn’t you say the Green family will move to Fort in a few
months? There will be
plenty of time by then. I don’t want them to see me in such a mess.”
She panicked and looked at Lorenz nervously, fearing that she might say something wrong.
Lorenz felt sad again. He couldn’t imagine what had happened to Lynn and how she would become so
miserable, and he really wanted to kill Beck.
When they walked out of the villa, Lorenz looked up and found Lynn still standing on the balcony
watching. them. He smiled, waved to the balcony, and shouted, “Go to bed early. See you tomorrow.”
The light in Lynn’s room went dim, and Lorenz put down his hand. He put away his smile and put on his
superior temperament again.
“Tell me. What’s wrong with my aunt?”
His face darkened, He was so eager to meet Lynn that he didn’t pay much attention. When heading
out, he found a room next door which contained some latest medical equipment, and many of them
were especially
used on severely ill patients.
Lorenz also noticed that Lynn would pant every few minutes while talking with him. She hid it well, but
he
was careful enough to find out. However, Lorenz didn’t say anything about it.
Cynthia’s fingers clenched tightly with coldness all over her body. Alston briefly explained Lynn’s
condition to
Lorenz.
Then, Lorenz clenched his fist and hit the tree hard, and the trunk was dented by his anger.
“Beck Miller… How dare he treat my aunt like this!”
Lorenz gritted his teeth and said coldly.
The security guard noticed something and wanted to check on them, but he retreated after seeing the
hostility on Lorenz’s face.
“It seems that I was too merciful at the banquet today.” Lorenz withdrew his hand after he calmed

Cynthia exclaimed and rushed over when she saw the wound on Lorenz’s hand. “Your hand is injured.”
“It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt!” Lorenz saw her anxious face, forced a smile, and touched Cynthia’s hair.
“This is
nothing compared to what my aunt has suffered. I will avenge her.”
Lorenz was full of coldness and hostility, but Cynthia only felt warm and secure. She was glad that
many people in this world cared about her mother as she did.
Cherry returned to the Miller family furiously and wanted to quarrel with Beck, but she remained silent
when she saw his cold and frightening face.
Beck looked at Jane sullenly. “Are you happy now? Do you enjoy our bankruptcy?”
Jane’s sense of guilt was wiped off by his sneer as she said furiously, “Beck, what do you mean? Are
you blaming me now? I’m telling you, even if I didn’t bring you today, the Green family would target and
investigate you by all means. It’s your fault, and nothing would ever happen if you weren’t so flirtatious!”
Her voice was so loud that all the servants stopped working and glanced at them quietly.
Beck was annoyed by the gazes and slapped Jane angrily. “Shut up!”
Jane was in a daze until the pain on her cheek made her realize what had happened. She covered her
face and looked at Beck in disbelief. “How dare you hit me, Beck Miller! Do you think you could become
who you are without the support of my family? Now you’ve seen that the Green family is stronger than
mine, so you want to go back to her? You’re just daydreaming. I’m the only Mrs. Miller, and nobody can
change this.”
Beck always thought Jane was gentle and careless, and she wouldn’t retort even when dissatisfied. He
trembled in anger. “You shrew!”
“Shrew?” Jane laughed, and her braided hair was disheveled. “If I’m a shrew, then you’re a rat!”
They quarreled recklessly as if they had never been a happy couple. Cherry was numbed by her fear
and couldn’t help but think she might marry Ivan, even though Jane had promised her that this would
never happen.
All she could hear was her parents quarreling and throwing stuff at each other. Cherry’s eyes became
vicious.
It was all Cynthia’s fault. Cherry thought if Cynthia didn’t exist, she would be the one who married
Alston, and her family would always live in harmony. Cynthia was as shameless as her mother. Both of
them ruined her family, and she would never spare them.
