"Do you know why my brother has to kill your husband?" asked Isadora sorrowfully.
"What do you want to say? Are you saying that my husband has wronged your brother?" Speaking of that, Sabrina sneered. "I'm sorry. Please don’t force this kind of offense onto my husband. When your brother fled abroad back then, it was because he had already broken the law for robbery. At that time, my husband had always been abroad and had never returned to the country. My husband did not wrongly blame your brother." Sabrina said.
"I didn't say that your husband has wronged my brother. I'm also not saying that my brother is innocent. What I'm saying is, it was your husband who had helped Alex and almost drove my brother to his death! If it wasn't for the help your husband had given Alex, my brother would have already had Alex killed!" Isadora said coldly.
"But Alex also didn't wrong your brother! It was his duty to pursue and capture your brother! Could it be that your brother had broken the law, but he has to let him get away with it?" Sabrina suddenly scolded angrily.
Isadora cried. "Under that kind of circumstances, even if it was you, you would have also broken the law! Do you know what my brother and I were forced into?
Where was Alex when we needed help? We were almost dying. Where was Alex then? Why didn't he come out to help us? My brother only did what he had t o do. Should he have been pursued around the world?"
Sabrina was speechless. She saw that Isadora was speaking with great agitation. There was still slimy fluid oozing out of her foot. That was all the fungi that was killed that was flowing out. Isadora had already forgotten the pain in her foot.
"I am very pitiful," said Isadora sorrowfully. "I thought... I thought you were a kindhearted person. You helped me treat my foot. You are the person my brother likes. You are so tolerant, and you have gone through so many hardships. I thought that you're a kindhearted person. It turns out you also have a prejudice against me and my brother, right? You will put such a label on us for the rest of your life that my brother is a robber and a burglar, right? He had done all evil deeds, so he can't be forgiven, much less be pitied, right?"
Sabrina was speechless. She was almost nine months pregnant, so she was tired from standing for a long time. She turned around and sat in front of Isadora. She did not say anything and just looked at Isadora. After a long while, she took a piece of tissue from the coffee table and handed it to Isadora for her to wipe her tears. For some unknown reason, Sabrina pitied Isadora at that moment.
Sabrina had a motherly aura on her that made Isadora's unyielding heart disintegrate in an instant. Isadora suddenly burst into tears.
"My brother...my brother had really suffered very, very badly. Me and my brother share the same mother but different fathers," Isadora told Sabrina about their past. Only then did Sabrina learn about the unknown past of the two siblings, Malvolio and Isadora.
Malvolio was a child who grew up in Kidon City. When he was still a child, his family was living fairly comfortably. His father was a truck driver, and his mother was originally a seamstress at a tailor's shop. Although his family was well-to-do, they still could get by. However, accidents do happen. That year when Malvolio was six years old and was about to start first grade, his father hit and killed two people with his truck and he also died at the scene.
The Yeatman family originally had some savings and also a property. However, it was all extorted by those families of the accident victims overnight till there was nothing left. From then on, Malvolio's mother, Eirwen Yost, took him along and hid here and there, and they often did not even get to eat a meal in a day. However, Malvolio's mother was an iron-willed person. It took her two years to use her skill in making clothes to earn money and have the debt paid off.
