Aurelius froze at Caitlin’s words, as if struck.

“Are you all right, sir?” Sebastian asked quietly.

The old man blinked, then slowly sank onto the edge of the bed. His shoulders sagged and he let out a long, weary sigh.

“Aurelius, what is it you’re holding back? Please, tell me. Whatever it is, Sebastian and I will do everything we can to help you. You won’t be dragged down alone.”

Her persistence finally broke through his defenses. After a long silence, Aurelius murmured, “Forgive me, Caitlin. My skills are lacking. I can’t save your brother. If I could, you’d never have to chase after this so-called Shard of Life… Ah…”

“This isn’t your fault, Aurelius. Please don’t blame yourself.”

Her gentle words only deepened his sorrow. He sighed again, then raised his head. “Very well. I’ll tell you everything.”

  • Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her   652: If There’s Fate, We’ll Meet Again

    Wendy heard his words, but without looking back, she ran straight into the house.Benjamin stood there watching her retreating figure vanish. Thinking of what he had just done, he slapped himself hard across the face—twice. Fear gripped him that Wendy might never forgive him.Wendy closed the front door behind her. She had wanted to collapse into tears, but the housekeeper intercepted her.“Miss, Caitlin is here.”“Caitlin? Where is she?”“In the dining room.”Wendy walked in to find Caitlin sitting with Rebecca, feeding her dinner. Caitlin paused when she saw Wendy. “You’re back. You haven’t eaten yet, have you?”“Thank you. You two eat first, I’m fine. I’m not hungry. I’ll just go upstairs for a while.”Wendy forced a thin smile and hurried off.Caitlin caught the redness in her eyes. She knew Benjamin must have been i

    Wendy pulled her hand free from his grip. “Go wash up first. I’ll take care of it after. Where’s the first-aid kit?”“On that cabinet.”Benjamin pointed, then rushed toward the bathroom, still anxious. “Don’t you dare sneak off. Don’t leave!”Wendy gave a small nod, and only then did he disappear inside to clean the blood from his face and shirt.By the time he came back out, Wendy was waiting on the sofa. He sat down beside her, trying to steady the storm inside him. “I’m here.”She lifted her gaze. His handsome face was marred with cuts and swelling, the cleaned skin making every bruise stand out.Wendy disinfected the wounds with alcohol, then rubbed ointment into the bruises and covered the obvious scrapes with bandages. Once she finished and began to put the kit away, Benjamin caught her hand and held her eyes with his own.“Wendy, please&he

    “Benjamin! Don’t be so reckless!”Wendy clung to his arm, then turned to Dennis. “I’m so sorry. Please, just go!”She hated that Dennis was getting dragged into this mess because of her.“I’m not leaving. I live here. Why should I go? He’s the one who should leave.”Dennis calmly undid the buttons on his jacket, ready for a fight. Benjamin shook Wendy off and lunged again. The two men clashed hard, fists flying.“Stop it! Benjamin, stop!”Wendy cried as tears streamed down her face, her voice breaking. Her heart was torn in two as she watched the man she loved brawl with someone else, fists cracking against bone, blood already drawn.Dennis’s cheek split under Benjamin’s punch. Seeing him hurt made Wendy feel even more guilty. Then Benjamin took a blow himself, his nose bleeding. That sight made Wendy’s heart ache unbearably.She was

    Caitlin held the envelope in her hands. It was light, but to her it felt impossibly heavy.Quincy stood quietly nearby, waiting without saying a word.After a long pause, Caitlin drew a steady breath, opened the envelope, and pulled out the report inside.Her brows knit tightly as she scanned the lines. Just then, Sebastian returned from seeing Federico and Magnus off. “Well? What does it say?”“See for yourself.”She passed him the report. Sebastian read it carefully, then nodded. “Exactly what you suspected. No blood relation whatsoever. It rules out a biological mother-daughter link.”“If she’s not my mother,” Caitlin murmured, “then where is she?”That was what tormented her most. The hand behind all this had planted someone who could mimic her mother so well it was almost flawless. Yet her real mother remained missing.“Then we take her,” S

    The shrill ring of her phone pulled Caitlin out of her thoughts. She glanced at the screen and saw Federico’s name.“You all go ahead and chat. I need to take this call.”She answered. On the other end, Federico told her he had just arrived in the US and would be at the Vanderbilt estate soon.When the call ended, Caitlin turned back to the others. “Mom, please stay for lunch here with everyone. Sebastian and I need to head back. A friend of ours just arrived.”“All right, I’ll take care of things here,” Kelly promised.Caitlin also urged Eliza and Raymond, “You should stay and have lunch with my mother before you go. Sebastian and I will leave first.”“Of course, go handle your business.”Caitlin and Sebastian left DanCa Estate together.At Vanderbilt Manor, Federico and Magnus were already waiting in the sitting room, tea placed before them.

    After breakfast, Sebastian was about to head to DanCa Estate with Caitlin when they ran into Eliza and Raymond.“Caitlin, we were just about to visit DanCa Estate too,” Eliza said. “We want to see your mother and your brother. Shall we ride together?”As in-laws, it was only right to pay their respects now that Kelly was safely back.“Of course. Let’s all go.”Outside, a car waited while a houseman loaded gifts into the trunk. Caitlin frowned. “No need to fuss with presents.”“How could I show up empty-handed? Let me handle it,” Eliza said with a smile.When they arrived at DanCa Estate, Kelly had already finished breakfast and was doing exercises in the garden. As Caitlin and the others stepped out of the car, Eliza glanced over and said, “Your mother really knows how to take care of herself. You’d never guess she struggled with depression. Is she fully reco
