Hearing John's remarks, the expressions of the three people present turned grim.
"Cora is definitely not someone who appeared out of thin air. But we..." William was about to explain.
However, John interrupted him directly, "No matter what happened, you shouldn't have let a pregnant woman wander alone! If Cora hadn't been brave enough, you wouldn't have seen her standing here with Martin safe and sound!"
John was right. Thinking of Cora's experience, Sara was also filled with trepidation.
She couldn't control her emotions, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Sir Lloyd, I know we've let Cora down. But four years ago, we didn't know Cora was our daughter. If I had known she was my child, how could I have made so many mistakes and left her alone to struggle in Leucrest Town while pregnant?"
As Sara spoke, her tears flowed uncontrollably.
John furrowed his brows and looked at Cora. "Have you just found your parents? What about your older brother?"
"I was switched with another baby when I was born. Gabe is the son of the Lane family," Cora explained while passing a tissue to Sara.
"I see."
John nodded in partial understanding and then turned to look at Byron.
"Then what about you? What were you doing when Cora was pregnant?"
He knew that Cora would return to New York to visit someone's grave every year on a certain day, wearing black clothes.
He had thought she was mourning her husband, but her husband was right there in front of them now.
"I had a car accident, lost consciousness for a while, and then spent a year in the hospital. After that, I went through rehabilitation..."
Seeing Byron's composed attitude, John felt that his grandson had already lost in a certain sense.
"Alright, I'm just an outsider. I shouldn't interfere too much," John said, signaling he didn't want to discuss these matters any further.
But Cora couldn't help but say, "Sir Lloyd, to Martin and me, you're closer than family. How can you consider yourself an outsider?"
William also solemnly promised, "You are Cora's teacher and the Yoris family's benefactor. Just let us know if there's anything the Lloyd family needs in the future."
