"When | was a child, | had poor health and just stayed in the courtyard. | would rarely go out of the house."
Megan continued, "After that incident, we moved out of the Smith family's residence, and | even blamed my
brother for not leaving with me."
| lowered my gaze. "He... must have been quite mature for his age."
"Yes." Megan sighed and spoke with self-reproach, "Later, | realized he was much smarter and more rational than
| was. Only being like him was the right thing to do. Otherwise, everything that belonged to my mom and us

| comforted her. "You didn't do anything wrong. As long as you don't hurt others, it's fine to make your

"Megan!"
Frank abruptly interrupted through clenched teeth. "No matter what you're thinking, you'd better give up on this.
Otherwise, before you get tricked by him, I'll break your legs first."

"Who said | was eavesdropping?"
Frank took off the earplugs and threw them at her. "Go ahead and leave a bad review. What a useless pair of

Megan stamped her feet in frustration!
"You'd better take my words to heart," said Frank.

However, my intuition toldthat she hadn't given up.
She just didn't want to provoke Frank.
After arriving in Jeswood, Frank first took Megan back to the Smith family's residence and then headed straight to
the Shaw family's residence with me. Madam Shaw was delighted to see us.
