Chapter 712 Dealing with My Older Brother
Wynter displayed a rare flicker of emotion.
Did Cody know Phil? Was Richard from the Mooreer family, too?
Phil, who had been smiling, suddenly looked up. “Who’s speaking?”
There was a mix of confusion and skepticism in his eyes. He wondered if he had misheard, but he was certain he had heard his brother’s name.
Phil found it hard to believe that anyone would know Richard’s name.
According to the plan, only he would stay with the Quinnell family to assist its heir. Richard had joined the military long ago. His brother, being much older, had always looked more like their father.
Initially, there had been news from the front lines, but eventually, Phil was the only one left in the Mooreer family.
Over the years, Phil had searched tirelessly for Richard, including traveling overseas. However, there had been no news. Richard’s remains were also nowhere to be found.
Hearing his brother’s name now caused Phil to tear up, “Who’s speaking?” he called out again, his voice trembling.
“What’s going on with Mr. Moore? How could he hear us talking?” Leo was stunned. This had never happened before.
Unless someone had incredibly bad luck or horoscope, like Logan, they would rarely be able to see or hear spirits. The Grim Reaper wouldn’t allow spirits to run around scaring people.
Wynter used her skilled reasoning and deduced, “Phil can’t hear all of you. He can only hear Cody.”
Cody was surprised but excited as he looked at Phil. However, his excitement quickly turned to confusion when he realized Phil seemed oblivious to his presence.
“Is his eyesight failing?” Cody asked Wynter worriedly.
Wynter reassured him to remain calm and then turned to the old man, whose brows were furrowed in confusion. “Mr. Moore, I’m somewhat different from others. You might have guessed as much before.”
Phil, quick–witted as ever, caught on immediately. “Are you referring to your abilities as a medium? There is something present here. I didn’t mishear, did 1?”
“Yes, and he knows your family,” Wynter admitted.
“My brother…” Phil muttered emotionally before asking Wynter, “Ms. Quinnell, could you describe what the spirit looks like?”
Wynter nodded and lowered her voice. “He’s a young boy who doesn’t realize he’s passed away. In fact, he thinks he’s still in the special era.

“He mentioned that he came from the front lines. To conceal his identity, he dressed up as a paperboy. He said that he needed to deliver a letter to Grandpa. He’s a heroic spirit.”
Wynter’s final remark addressed Leo’s earlier confusion. Cody dared approach the Quinnell family’s memorial hall because he was a heroic spirit.
A heroic spirit was someone who bravely sacrificed their life for their country.
