Chapter 1149

He smoked a cigarette, picked up the portfolio, and opened the seal. He saw a picture of his sister

Hannah at the age of seven or eight. There was also detailed investigation data and many pictures

attached.

They were pictures of Hannah from the age of seven or eight, to the photo of the accident. Then, he

saw photos of her when she was about 12 or 13 years old with a face full of fear and trepidation. At 15

or 16 years old, the young girl was shyly making a victory pose at the camera. At last, he saw the photo

of the beautiful girl when she was 20.

Philip’s hands trembled more as his eyes became moist.

After so many years, the guilt in Philip’s heart was infinitely magnified at this moment.

“She… is really alive?”

Philip looked at the photo of 20-year-old Hannah in his hand, his eyes already very moist.

Rick hummed and said, “Alive.”

After getting a positive answer, Philip could not speak for a while.

He was very calm.

No agitation could be seen at all.

However, at this moment, Philip’s heart was like the calm before the storm.

Alive.

His sister Hannah Clarke was really alive.

It was good that she was alive.

“Can we contact her?” Philip asked again.

Rick shook his head. With some helplessness in his eyes, he said, “It’s difficult. According to the

information, it seems that the young lady is not willing to return to the Clarke family, or rather, she’s not

willing to see you and anyone related to the Clarke family.”

“She hates me and the Clarke family.”

Philip sucked a mouthful of the cigarette into his lungs, and it felt a little spicy.

However, it was only through this would he be more comfortable.

Back then, if not for him, his sister would not have been met with the accident.

After so many years, Philip always thought that he had harmed his sister.

He had been living in self-reproach.

As a result, his sister had become a taboo topic for Philip.

“Can you find out where she is now?”

Philip was unwilling to give up.

Rick looked at Philip, was silent for a moment, and took out a post-it note. He said, “This is the

address, but Young Master, I have to remind you to be mentally prepared. The young lady may not

wish to see you. If you go like this, it may trigger her displeasure.”

Philip looked at the post-it note in his hand—Merry Orphanage, Uppercreek.

“I know.”

Philip gripped the post-it note in his hand tightly and did not speak for a long time.

An orphanage?

How had his sister been all these years?

Had she been bullied? Did she have friends? A boyfriend?

For some time, many questions flooded Philip’s brain.

In this world, apart from his father, Wynn, and Mila, she was the closest person to him.

Philip did not know how to face Hannah, how to explain, or how to bring her back to the Clarke family.

Midnight.

Philip returned to the bedroom. Lying next to Wynn, he gently hugged her from behind and buried his

head in Wynn’s hair. He took in the fragrance of her body, seeking comfort.

“What’s wrong?”

Wynn tilted her head slightly and asked softly.

“Let me hug you for a while,” Philip said.

Rustling, Wynn turned around and hugged Philip. She could feel the slight tremor of the man’s body in

her arms.

He was crying.

Philip was crying.

“It’s okay, Phil, everything will be fine.”

Wynn gently patted Philip’s back and said softly.

“I… I don’t know how to face her. She’s still alive. She’s…”

Philip said before stopping, the grievance in his voice sounding very distressing. At this moment, he

was just like a big aggrieved boy.

“Is it Hannah?” Wynn asked softly.

Philip nodded.

“Shouldn’t you be happy instead? Philip, look at me.”

Wynn held Philip’s face, looked at him seriously, and said, “Do whatever you want to do and don’t leave

any regrets for yourself. Of course, I can also go with you. No matter what happened between you and

Hannah, I believe that after so many years, the only thing left between you is the relationship between

brother and sister. Blood is thicker than water and can never be separated.”

Philip looked at Wynn, nodded heavily, and controlled his emotions before saying, “I’m going to

Uppercreek tomorrow. Come with me.”

“Sure,” Wynn responded.
