Chapter 4256 The Reason
Time passed by minute by minute.
The air became oppressively strange.
It was so quiet all around, except for the audible sobbing under the table, which was so
obvious!
Chandler stiffened his body, his mind almost blank.
There was only one voice constantly shouting in his heart, please don’t let it be Tina…
But sometimes, the more afraid you are of something happening, the more likely it will
happen.
When he bent down and slowly lifted the tablecloth that had fallen, he finally saw the
figure hiding under the table.
He was instantly shocked!
That familiar figure caught his eye.
It was Tina!
But Tina at this moment had tears all over her face, and her expressions were so different
from the ones he was familiar with!
Her eyes, blinking non-stop, were filled with tears, causing him heartache.
She bit her lip hard, and after a long while, she slowly emerged from under the table.
“Why are you here?” he raised his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears on her face, but
she suddenly took a step back, avoiding his hand.
His hand awkwardly stayed suspended in mid-air, with a trace of bitterness in his eyes.
“You heard what my grandfather and I were talking about just now?” he said softly.
“Yes, I heard it all!” she said in a nasal voice, “I didn’t know, but I couldn’t sleep at night,
and I accidentally walked into this room, and I actually heard those words.”
Chandler withdrew his hand with a pale face and stood there quietly as if he was a person

questions to ask you, but I hope you can be honest with me, without any concealment.”
He looked at her and said, “Sure, ask me whatever questions you have.”
“What’s the deal with the umbilical cord blood-saving lives?” she asked.
“The Hunter family has a curse that can be inherited by
children, but this inheritance is not certain, it could be skipped a generation or several
generations. But those who are affected by this curse will
experience periodic excruciating pain. This pain may last a few minutes or hours and
usually occurs within two to three days.
After enduring these two to three days, the pain will subside for some time.”
“What if they can’t endure it?” she asked.
“If they can’t endure it, they will commit suicide,” he said, there have been many suicides
among the ancestors of the Hunter family.

“As for the umbilical cord blood-saving lives, a person affected by this curse will have a
connection with a certain opposite-sex individual. If they have a child with this person they
have a connection with, the placenta and umbilical cord blood of the child can be used to
create a medicine that can lift the curse,” Chandler said.
Tina tightly pursed her lips, seemingly contemplating his words. After a long while, she
asked, “So now, you are affected by this curse, and I am the opposite-sex individual you
have a connection with?”
“Yes,” he said.
“When did you know that I was the person you had a connection with?” she stared at him
and asked.
His body stiffened even more, “…Before you were born.”
“What?” Tina was taken aback, “Before I was born? Are you
