At that, the middle-aged man prepared to leave.
“Please hold on!” It was rare for Danrique to use the word “please” with such great respect.
The middle-aged man stopped in his tracks, lowering his head with a conflicted expression.
Danrique put his glass down and stared at him. “I know the Nacht family is attacking you. As long as you give me the word, I'll definitely help you.”
Astonished, the middle-aged man lifted his gaze from the ground and looked at Danrique. “You—"
“You're the man Aunt Isabella loved in the past. Now that you're facing some trouble, I can definitely help you,” Danrique said seriously. “But I hope you can tell me if she has a daughter. And if she does, where is her daughter?”
“How do you know about your aunt's relationship with me?” Richard was shocked. “This has always been a secret. Only a handful of people on earth know about this.” “I received the items left by Aunt Isabella not long ago,” Danrique said grimly. “She passed away due to an illness many years ago. She even quietly spent her final days by the sea to not make us worry.”
“What?” Richard froze and widened his eyes in disbelief. “You're saying Isabella's dead?”
For years, he had been constantly searching for her. He never expected to hear such news.
“Yes.” Danrique looked extremely upset at the mention of the matter. “I rushed over right after receiving the news, but I still did not get to see her for the last time. I could only handle her funeral and bring her ashes back to Xendale.”
“Oh, Isabella...” Richard could not bring himself to believe that the wife he had been searching for was no longer on earth.
For many years, he had been facing everything with determination and bravery no matter what the matter was. That was because he had been hanging on to the hope of finding his beloved wife and reuniting the family.
It was like a faith that kept him going on.
However, at that moment, his faith was crushed completely.
