My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 390

"He's been holding back the darker parts of his past, afraid they might scare you off. But I believe it's important for you to know some basic facts. Orion's parents both passed away when he was five years old."

"What?"

Xanthea was stunned, "The news indeed said his mother died in an accident when he was five, but it said that his father..." had been just withdrew from the business world due to excessive grief, and had never been seen in high society again.

Theodore shook his head sadly, "Harrison followed Juliette in death not long after she died. The Lockwood Group never made it public."

Hearing this, Xanthea's heart trembled.

So, Orion has been without parents since he was five?

"Harrison was my most beloved son, brilliant and exceptionally talented. He was always a pride from a young age, but unfortunately, he had one fatal flaw—he loved too deeply. Ori inherited this from him."

As Theodore spoke, he put down the teacup and looked at her with a deep gaze, shimmering with a hint of almost a plea.

"Xan, you must stay by his side and never leave him."

Overwhelmed by the intensity in his gaze, Xanthea responded, "Okay, I will."

"Good."

Theodore nodded in relief and opened the drawer in his desk, pulling out an antique mahogany carved flower box from the bottom layer. Opening it, inside was a pristine, round jade bracelet.

"My dear, this bracelet was the token of love Harrison gave to Juliette back then. After they passed away, I followed their will and burned everything except for this."

"Now, I want to give it to you."

The token of love from Orion's parents?

Xanthea hastily declined, "No, no, Grandpa Theodore, this is too precious!"

"Nothing is more precious than you. In Ori's eyes, you are his everything.It’s you who" healed his childhood wounds and brought back his zest for life.

But Theodore swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
