"Don't, Mr.Ronin, she's your mother" The news came as a complete shock.
Kane froze.He slowly turned around and glared at the intruder with bloodshot eyes.
Wendy?
"Say that again."He said through clenched teeth.
Wendy shuddered in fright and knelt down before him without hesitation.
"I'm sorry, Mr.Ronin.I've been keeping the truth from you because Mr.Ronin Sr.told me to do so.He said never to tell you the truth unless when I absolutely have no choice.We are protecting this secret in order to protect you."
Wendy sobbed as she explained everything to him.
It was the truth.She was as confused as Kane when she first heard about it.However, Chris told her he was running out of time and that she was the only one who could do it.
Hence, she relented.Sure enough, Chris died not long after.
Kane's face fell.Before he could even say anything, Saul spoke up.
"You knew about this place and this woman all along?"
"No, I don't.Mr.Ronin Sr.told me about this two months before he died.He even gave me something at the time."
Wendy explained cautiously and took out a small notebook she had brought with her.
Kane and Saul were rendered speechless.
Two months ago? Isn't that when I was forced to resign from Ronin Corporation and had to hide in the small mountain village? His heart skipped a beat.
He had a very bad feeling about this.
"Kane, what are you doing? Hurry up and take a look!"
Saul's anxiousness grew when Kane did not pick up the notebook.
Kane pressed his fingers together.
After a few seconds, he slowly reached out for the notebook.
"Eeekk..." The woman screeched in delight when he reached out for the notebook.She even wanted to crawl towards him so that they could look through it together.
However, Wendy suddenly walked over and gently held her down.
"Ok, Ms.Soprano.Let's just sit back and let Mr.Ronin do the reading, okay?"
"Eeekk..."
Much to their surprise, this woman, who only knew how to make weird noises, agreed.Kane opened the little notebook.
