Chapter 192

Upon hearing the nGodard. Paisley's brow twiched

A man named Godard from Montera, with a villa here and all those people outside-

Could Max be from the prestigious Godard family of Blearerat

Seeing the confusion in Paisley's eyes, Max nodded. "Yes, I'm from that Godard family

Paisley nodded, but she didn't let her surprise show. She had seen her fair share of people from powerful

families.

While the Vanderbilt family didn't have the long history of the Godard family, they were still considered a top

family. The only difference was that during Dominick's generation, the family had fewer heirs.

As for the Godard family. Paisley didn't know much about them. She rarely interacted with people from Montera,

so her knowledge of the Godard family was limited.

"Since you're from the Godard family of Montera, what brings you to Harrowfell! Paisley casually asked. After

speaking, she realized she had asked too much. "Of course, if you don't want to share, that's fine. | was just

asking." Max smiled warmly. "There's nothing | can't say. | cto Harrowfell to find someone."

"Hmm." Paisley nodded, not pressing any further. She wasn't really interested in who he was looking for. She had

only asked out of curiosity.

Seeing that Paisley didn't ask any further, Max decided to continue on his own, Tm looking for my sister.

"Oh, Paisley responded, still not particularly interested.

Noticing that she didn't seem to care much, Max felt somewhat defeated. He continued, "I'm not the biological

child of the Godard family. | was adopted by my father."

"You were adopted too!" Paisley was surprised

Seeing that Paisley seemed a little more curious, Max continued, "Yes, adopted. The person I'm looking for is my

father's biological daughter. My father and mother met here in Harrowfell and secretly married, But later, due to

stwists of fate, they separated.

"After my father returned to Montera, he lost his memory and forgot about my mother. By the the

remembered, my mother had passed away, and their daughter was missing.

"My father and | have traveled back and forth between Montera and Harrowfell, searching. But we haven't found

her." Max's face clouded with worry as he thought about his father. "Even though my father has forgotten about

my

mother, he never remarried and has always been alone. When the elders of the Godard family pressured him to

either marry or leave an heir, he decided to adopt me.

"All these years, he has never given up on searching for my sister. It's bechis lifelong regret."

Paisley listened quietly as

Max spoke about his adoptive father. Inside, her emotions were anything but calm. In comparison, their fathers

were so discrens.

Max's father, though he never even met his daughter, never gave up searching for her. Meanwhile, Paisley's

father had hurt her again and again, leaving her utterly scarred.

Not all men were terrible. She had simply been unlucky, having only encountered the worst of them so far.

Max noticed a faint sorrow in Paisley's eyes and asked, "Am | talking too much?"

He found it amusing-

he wasn't usually a talkative person. But Paisley's initial lack of interest in his words had provoked a

determination in him to keep talking, saying more than he normally would Ultimately, though, these stories had

little to do with her. Paisley shook her head, offering a faint smile. "Not at all. I'm just happy for your sister. Her

father and brother never gave up on her. Unlike herself she had always been the one left behind.

Taking a deep breath, Paisley stood and walked to the window, stretching her body, which felt exhausted after

the acupuncture session. In truth, she was merely trying to mask the growing sadness in her eyes

After all, who wouldn't want to be someone so loved by her family!

Max watched her graceful figure by the window, as though her silhouette revealed the hidden sorrow in her

heart. His chest tightened unexpectedly. Unconsciously, he placed his hand over his heart, surprised by the

peculiar sensation.

Before long, Leo returned with the medicine. Paisley removed Max's acupuncture needles and gave him some

instructions before preparing to leave. As before, Max was able to walk normally immediately after the

procedure. He personally escorted Paisley

to the villa's entrance, ready to walk her out, but she stopped him. "That's enough. The rain hasn't stopped yet,

and your leg just underwent treatment. It's better for you to stay in and rest."

Max nodded obediently. He was a patient who always followed his doctor's advice. Turning to Leo, he said, "Take

Paisley home."

"No need Paisley replied. "It's not far." Without waiting for Leo to fetch an umbrella, she stepped into the rain and

quickly ran toward her house. Max stood there, staring blankly at her figure disappearing into the rain.

"Beautiful, isn't she?" Leo's teasing voice cfrom behind him. Max snapped out of it and turned to glare

coldly at Leo. Leo quickly covered his mouth, muttering, "Yeah, | know, | talk too much." The rain poured all night

and only stopped by the following morning.

Dragging ber tired body, Emery arrived at her shop. The moment she stepped inside, she noticed something was

off with her staff. "What's going

Before anyone could answer, her eyes fell on the unexpected visitor seated in the center of her shop.

"Dominick! You scumbag! Who invited you here?" Emery's reaction was immediate and fierce, like a

wildcat ready to fight.
