After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire -
Chapter 611 A Kindness
Chapter 611 A Kindness
"I heard my brother held me first when I was born. My parents told him that I was the one he needed to protect and that he must make sure I am alive until he died." Cian said with a look that seemed a little sentimental, "Sometimes I would wonder why did this happen to him? Why has he been abandoned since he was born? The first-born boy is always the heir, the man who gets to have everything. But because of what happened to our family, he had to become a victim."
Hannah listened quietly since she was not in a position to judge.
"Actually, Oscar cried when he was a kid." Said Cian.
Surprised, Hannah had never seen Oscar cry, nor did she think he would cry.
"I heard it from my aunt." Cian said, "My parents are cold, maybe they act like that on purpose, but they don't usually show vulnerability to us. My aunt often does. By the way, do you know who my aunt is?" "Justine," Hannah answered.
Oscar had not told her but it was quite obvious.
Manuel was their cousin. Accordingly, their aunt should be Manuel's mother, Justine.
She always felt that Justine was different from other ladies of the upper class and there was something more about her. It turned out that Justine was a royal member.
"Well, yes, her original name was Justine Wells. She changed her last name to avoid being noticed. Manuel's last name should also be Wells."
Somehow, Hannah felt Cian cared too much about their last names. In other words, it was a kind of possessiveness towards his family members. Oscar and Cian didn't have many families and it was not strange that they cherished them.
"Back to business," Cian realized he had gone too far off the point and said, "I heard my aunt say it once. She said when he was a child, he went to wilderness training for the first time and he was ordered to kill small animals with a knife. When he used that knife to strike at those animals, he was always crying but he did not stop. Because he knew if he stopped, there would be more. And those animals were so cute and harmless."
Hannah felt there was a sudden sting in her heart. She could not imagine that scene of a boy crying with a bloody knife. Oscar must have been deep in desperation.
"My brother and I had very different experiences growing up. After I was born, I stayed with my parents and was taught to learn a lot of strategies. I was locked in the study every day and received all kinds of education. Of course, I took classes in self-defence, but it was nothing compared to Oscar's training. He is truly the most capable man our family has raised in all these years. Not only good at fighting but also studying. He got many certificates, such as his diplomas, his lawyer qualification certificate, and so on. Besides, he is the best of all the descendants of the family. If we lived in a peaceful time, he would become the greatest king ever."
"But he is not the chosen heir, he's the one who shed blood to clear the way for me and put me on the throne." Cian said, "In fact, I thought of giving up. I thought about quitting and many of the followers of our family suggested changing the heir when they saw his abilities. They all think Oscar is more qualified. So am I. I even pretended to suffer from depression and autism. But it didn't work. I was still the heir. They said it was because he was so bloodthirsty and an heir could not be like that or even have emotions."
Hannah seemed to have understood why Oscar said Cian suffered more by then.
Outwardly, none of that stuff mattered to him, while actually, Cian was enduring great pain inside.
"And I got beat up by Oscar many times." Cian suddenly smiled. It was like everything that had just been told was just a story.
"He used to beat me up every time I said I didn't want to be the heir. And then he would coax me and put ointment on me. He was always cold and aloof, but after I got beat up, he would be very gentle with me and calm me down."
Hannah felt like he was trying to show off how nice Oscar was to him.
"I always think he treats me the best in the world. Everyone nice to me has a purpose, such as my parents, and those followers, except him. He loves me unconditionally. I would love him even if he hates me, not to mention he's always nice to me."
"Because he knows you're not doing well." Hannah was quite blunt.
This must be a true brotherhood. They both could see each other's suffering, so they were always there for each other unconditionally, which was precious. Members of the usual elite family turned against each other and killed each other for power, not to mention a royal family.
"So I don't need to feel guilty now," Cian added.
"Er?"
He was always getting off the subject.
"I do not feel guilty for causing him so much pain anymore. Without me, he would not be able to pursue his love. If he is the heir, he cannot love a person with all his heart. The heir has so many responsibilities. Love is the first thing that needs to be abandoned." Cian smiled happily, "You could always be together because he was not the heir."
Hannah blushed again. It was true that Oscar and she were very close but it still embarrassed her by saying so in front of her.
"By the way," Cian said and took out a bracelet, "Oscar did not tell me in advance that you would come so I did not have enough time to prepare. It was my mom's favourite bracelet, and it's yours now."
