It was Charles who forwarded Galen's information, and under the "Father" section, it boldly stated, "Farley, a university professor!"
"That's him!"
Although Gilbert had asked Charles to look into Galen, Charles had merely skimmed through Galen's professional resume and hadn't delved into the family secrets.
So, this Galen wasn't Sherilyn's boyfriend at all, but her brother!
Gilbert suddenly raised his hand to his forehead, his mind buzzing with chaos.
A few things started making sense... Sherilyn had broken up with him so decisively, he even thought she was heartless enough to disregard Jenna as well!
But that wasn't the case. It was because of Galen, wasn't it? Galen was Jenna's uncle, and his bone marrow, probably, was a match? Not one hundred percent, but pretty close.
At that moment, Gilbert felt a chill all over. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it, squinting as he exhaled smoke.
Ten years! He had known Sherilyn for over a decade! Their first meeting, what was it like? Gilbert's memory was hazy. Through the swirling smoke, he could barely remember Sherilyn back then, her hair long just like now. Calling out to him and his brother with a clear yet timid voice.
"Big brother, second brother."
No more! Never again!
"Ha, haha."
Gilbert leaned back, raising his hand to cover his eyes. Back then, he had no idea that one day, he'd regret not truly seeing her for all these years! Back then, his heart was set on repaying his brother and taking good care of Caroline.
Too late, much too late...
Gilbert drove out of the Sunset Ridge Community. On the road, he received a text from Caroline.
["When will you be back? I've made your favorite dish, waiting to have dinner together."]
