Chapter 633
"This is the biggest secret of the Winston family, which shouldn't have been told by me, but I really don't want you and Mr. Winston to continue misunderstanding." Alfred's expression was serious, his gaze slightly dazed as if recalling events from a long ago...
"Mr. Winston has a twin brother. When he was born, he was diagnosed with congenital heart disease. In a prominent family like the Winston family, the presence of a sick child would certainly provoke a lot of speculation from outsiders, which wouldn’t be conducive to the child's recovery. So the Winston family kept it a secret."
"The eldest young master was taken to the hospital for treatment. During one surgery, he almost died on the operating table. At that time, he was only three months old. The doctors gave up treatment, saying the young master could only live to be one year old. At that time, Mr. Winston and Mrs. Winston ran around day and night, and finally found an ancient church to pray for his recovery..."
"The priest kept the young master in the church. Under the priest's care, the young master miraculously lived past one year. So, Mr. Winston and Mrs. Winston entrusted the the priest with the care of the eldest young master, adhering to the priest's advice to keep his existence a secret. Except for me, no one else knew that the Winston family had another young master at that time..."
Haley's heart was very unsettled.
When Alfred paused, she asked, "What happened next?"
"In short, the eldest young master has never returned to the Winston family these years, never enjoyed the wealth and glory of the Winston family." Alfred sighed. "While the second young master grew up in the Winston family, becoming the heir of the Winston family, inheriting everything from the Winston family. After he married you, his life was complete. But the eldest young master is still wandering outside, so Ivan must feel guilty.
"Madam, Mr. Winston is only guilty towards his brother. There's no other woman in his heart. It's just a misunderstanding.
"But everything I told you tonight, please keep it to yourself. It's the Winston family's secret and cannot be revealed for now."
Haley pursed her lips and said, "If Ivan's brother is still alive, he should be twenty-six now, and his heart disease should have been cured. Why not bring him back?"
Alfred sighed heavily again. "Madam, that's not something I can discuss. When Mr. Winston is ready, he will tell you himself."
Haley knew that no matter how much she pressed, Alfred would no longer reveal any of the deeper secrets.
However, knowing that Ivan had a twin brother was enough for Haley...
She whispered, "Thank you for relieving my worries. I won't tell anyone about this. it'll be our secret"
Alfred nodded. "I'm glad you've come to terms with it. It's late, you should get some rest."
Haley smiled slightly, then slowly walked upstairs.
She closed the door, sitting on the edge of the bed, and looked down at Martin lying on the floor.
Haley finally figured out the key and knew who this stranger was.
Sterling, or Martin, the elder young master of the Winston family, Ivan's brother.
This is Sterling, then, where is Ivan?
Haley looked at the fruit knife on the table, wanting to hold it against Martin's neck.
But she couldn't.
If this was a premeditated scheme, her actions would only put Ivan in danger.
She had to proceed slowly.
First, she had to find out where Ivan was.
Haley stood up, took all her strength to haul Martin, then gently laid him on the bed. She helped him out of his clothes and covered him with the blanket.
She lay on the other side of the bed, her eyes dull and lifeless.
Night drew ever deeper.
Martin touched his heavy head and slowly opened his eyes.
What he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling, soft blankets, warm-colored curtains, and a woman sitting at the dressing table, putting on makeup.
Martin sat up abruptly.
He had slept so deeply last night.
Since that incident, he had never slept so deeply...
