Sabrina was stunned. "Vireo, hasn't this matter been resolved? Why are you visiting them in prison?"
Vireo laughed miserably on the other end o f the call. "Sabrina, they had raised me, after all. If they had not fed me milk one mouthful at a time back then, how could I have lived for so long?"
Sabrina sighed. She actually understood it very well. Since ancient times, family relationships had always been something that could not be clearly explained. Lucius and his wife had spent money to buy Vireo back then, which was a crime from a legal standpoint. Also, if Lucius and his wife had not bought Vireo back then, Vireo may have been able to live with his biological mother. They may have been poor, but at least both the mother and son would not have been in misery, and Elsa's youth would not have been wasted. However, family relationships were something very unreasonable, and they could not be explained by any laws. Because the family relationship among Vireo, Lucius, and Lucius' wife indeed existed, so even if they had never been nice to their son, they were still the ones who had been through many hardships to raise their son. If Vireo truly was able to be so heartless and vicious, and never cared how his parents would end up, then it would mean that Vireo was a man without any conscience and sense of responsibility at all. Would such a man not be very terrifying?
Sabrina understood Vireo very well. She also admired him. Sabrina herself had been forcefully removed from this kind of family relationship as well. Her biological father set her up so badly, but he still was able to not admit that she was his biological daughter. It was only when he needed her kidney that her father admitted the fact that they were biologically father and daughter. Even so, Sabrina was still unable to be so heartless to her own biological father. It was all because of the family relationship in those eight years. She had been living in her father’s house for eight years. That kind of attachment and yearning she had for her father was something that was engraved in her heart for life, much less Vireo was a child who had been adopted by his adoptive parents since he was a newborn baby. Sabrina was able to understand him.
She said very calmly to Vireo over the phone, "Vireo, if you're truly that kind of absolutely heartless man, then we would have truly been worried about you.
However, you're a good man with a conscience and a sense of responsibility. Don't worry, Vireo. No matter what kind of decisions you make, you don't have to worry about the Payne family harassing and harming you anymore in the future. Because you have a family, friends, a brother, a sister-in-law, and your biological parents now. Regardless of the decision you've made, we will support you!"
Sabrina’s encouragement made Vireo feel touchedl. At that very moment, the manly man in his thirties suddenly feared up. She was his sister-in-law. Yes, Sabrina was his sister-in-law. She was his biological brother's wife.
He held back his excited voice a little and then said, "Sabrina, don’t worry. I know very well that all of you have come together to help me dissolve my relationship with the Payne family. I won't be that cruel, but I also won't go easy on them anymore. I will certainly handle the remaining matters well."
"Mm-hmm. I believe in you. Call us again if anything happens," said Sabrina gently.
"Alright."
After he hung up the call, Vireo looked at the police officer across from him. The police officer was very polite to Vireo. It was not because of his status or so on, but i t was because Vireo was merciful and kind.
"There are not many good people like you these days. Your adoptive parents did not suffer any losses to be imprisoned here for life. You only never came to visit them once, and you've also never wronged them. The harm that their entire family had done to you must have been so great," said the police officer emotionally.
Vireo smiled. He had not slept the entire night after he had returned home the night before.
