Chapter 174 Rhys Died Long Ago
The real Rhys met him at the age of seven. Frail and sickly, he died of illness less than a year after he
came to the orphanage.
At the orphanage, they were each other's only friends.
When the real Rhys was dying, he stood by the hospital bed, alone.
He looked at the dying Rhys...
"It's okay. You will be fine."
Rhys smiled, his face pale. "Don't be sad, we will always be friends."
"I don't want you to die. "
He didn't shed a tear, but he meant it.
At that time, even if they were displaced, they were just seven years old or so and playmates to each
other.
Rhys smiled and comforted him, "I won't feel hurt anymore in heaven. I'm sick of the pain."
"But if you go to heaven, I can't see you anymore."
Clenching his hands tightly, he answered in a muffled voice.
Rhys smiled and asked, "Will you forget me?"
He answered without hesitation, "No."
Rhys, on the bed, kept smiling when he heard this.
"We will always be friends."
Standing beside the bed, he gritted his teeth when he heard this.
He thought Rhys would live longer if he didn't talk, but...
He failed to keep his only friend.
Before dying, Rhys looked at him sadly, his big eyes were full of disappointment.
"I guess I'll never see my parents."
"You will, as long as you live."
Rhys chuckled, pulled off the family badge necklace that he had been wearing all the time, and handed
it to his friend with difficulty.
He knew what Rhys wanted to do. "No, I don't want it. It's yours. Keep it."
He took a step back, but Rhys grabbed his hand.
"It's from my parents. Please keep it safe for me."
"No..."
Before he could finish his refusal, Rhys smiled and said goodbye, slowly closing his eyes.
He immediately froze in place, and after a long time, he took the necklace with trembling hands.
Rhys never opened his eyes again.
Later, he, as well as the dean and several teachers buried Rhys in the hill behind the orphanage.
Rhys' family badge necklace had been around his neck ever since.
About seven or eight years later, a couple came to the orphanage for their long-lost son.
He was called to the reception room by the dean.
The woman hugged him when she saw the necklace around his neck.novelbin
"Son, my son! I finally found you!"
It was Mrs. Williams, Rhys' mother. Mr. Williams stood beside them, his eyes were also red rimmed.
They recognized their son by the unique necklace. They would never have thought that Rhys was long
dead.
The dean had seen this necklace when Rhys first went to the orphanage.
But that was long ago. The dean was too old to remember things from before in detail.
Rhys' parents took him out of the orphanage. He never explained that he was not Rhys.
At that time, he was fifteen years old.
He knew how difficult it would be for a person to start from scratch on his own. With Rhys' identity and
the power of the Williams family... he could do what he wanted to do.
Hatred was still deeply rooted in his heart. He wanted to be strong and get his revenge.
After returning to the Williams family, Mr. and Mrs. Williams never doubted him even though he seemed
to be cold and distant.
They thought the ten years of suffering had shaped their son.
They didn't know that the real Rhys was already dead.
And his real name...
Real name?
He didn't have one. He wasn't supposed to be in this world.
