At 900 p.m. New York time, this Bart 748 modified private jet took off from Kerry Airport and headed for Hillsprings, 10 thousand KMs away.
After 12 hours of flight, Ann family's plane landed at Hillsprings International Airport at 9 o'clock local time.
The staff who arrived in Hillsprings ahead of time arranged for a convoy to take the old couple, Manuel, Kamal, and others to WanLance house.
It was already late at night when the convoy arrived at WanLance house. At this time, WanLance house was exceptionally quiet and comfortable, and the housekeeper directly took the 4 of them to the house in the center.
After more than 10 hours of exhaustion, the 4 were somewhat exhausted. After they were assigned the room, they went back to the rooms to rest.
The single houses of WanLance house have a huge region, with a structure of 3 floors above the ground and 1 basement, with a usable region of at least 800 to 900 square metre.
Because the region is huge enough, each room is designed to have an independent bathroom suite The old couple lived in the hugest room on the 3rd floor, Manuel lived next door to them, and Kamal temporarily lived opposite Manuel.
Back in the room, Kamal didn't care about rest, so he sent a message to Chris, telling him that he had arrived at WanLance house.
At this time, Chris was lying beside Nora, waiting for Kamal's report.
Nora beside him had already fallen asleep, and when he received the news from Kamal, he was filled with emotions for a moment.
What really made him unable to calm down for a long time was the arrival of his grandparents, which reminded him involuntarily of the past, the day when his parents were killed.
From the moment when grandpa and grandma's plane took off, Chris's mind was full of various fragments of the incident.
When his parents had an accident, Chris was still attending classes at school. The weather at that time was already in mid-to-late June, and the summer vacation was about to begin.
The weather in Hillsprings was extremely hot and depressing that day, with dark clouds covering the sky for a long time, until the afternoon, with the sound of thunder, the sky suddenly rained heavily.
The rain was so fierce that it took only 10 minutes to completely cover the entire school playground.
Chris still remembered that at that time, there was thunder and rain, and many children in the class were even scared and shivering.
and at that moment, the door of the classroom was suddenly pushed open. Griffin, who was already drenched and covered in rain, rushed into the classroom regardless of the teacher's obstruction, picked up Chris who was sitting on the seat and rushed out of the classroom.
Chris still remembered that in the rain, there were more than 12 middle-aged men in black clothes.
Their faces were covered with rain, and their clothes were tightly attached to their bodies because of the soaked rain, making them look extremely embarrassed.
What surprised Chris, even more, was that each of them was holding a boy in their arms that was very similar in age, figure, and clothes to him.
After Griffin gave an order, 12 people took 12 children and quickly gathered in the original place. Scattered in all directions, he was hugged by Griffin, running wildly in the rain.
Later, Chris was sent to the orphanage where he grew up. Before leaving, he told Chris that his parents had been killed, and told him not to reveal his true identity to anyone in this life.
The ignorant Chris didn't have time to be sad, Griffin disappeared from the orphanage, and from that day on, Chris lived in the orphanage as an orphan for 10 full years.
In the 1st few years of the 10 years, he lived a life that was almost isolated from the world.
At that time, he received primary education in the orphanage. The orphanage never organized for them to go out. There were no spring outings, tomb-sweeping, visits, or performances.
These children stayed in the orphanage every day. The aunts in the orphanage did some housework within their ability, and even the vegetable fields in the orphanage often need these children to help maintain them.
At that time, Chris always thought that the orphanage must have no funds, and it was very rare to ensure that they could receive education and have enough food.
but it wasn't until he met Asher again, and he asked Griffin, that he found out that in fact, all of this was arranged by Griffin early on.
The reason why the orphanage isolated them was to protect him alone.
It was also those years of isolation from the world that helped him avoid everyone's search.
Whether it was Chris's relatives, parents' friends, or the enemies who wanted Chris's life, they all set their targets in places other than Hillsprings after a couple years of searching to no avail.
no one could have imagined that after so many years and so many people digging in Hillsprings, Chris is still in this city.
Now, after a lapse of 20 years, grandpa, grandma, and uncle came here again, and through the descriptions of Kamal and Asher, Chris knew that grandpa and grandma had never given up looking for him for so many years so in Chris's heart deep down, he also wanted to recognize his grandma's family, at least so that the 2 old people would stop worrying and blaming themselves for his unknown life and death.
However, when he thought that the Warriors Den was still unwilling to let his grandpa and grandma's family go, he could only temporarily suppress this thought.
but grandpa and grandma have already arrived here after all, and judging by their posture, they should plan to live here for a long time.
He will live under their noses for a long time in the future. In this case, he has to make sure not to reveal himself. It's not so easy to think about his identity.
However, even though he was full of emotions in his heart, he still did not change his decision.
He can only hope that the grandparents, who are close at hand, can't find any clues related to him.
…
This night, Chris stayed up all night, but his grandparents, uncle, and Kamal who lived in WanLance house all slept very soundly.
The old man Sawyer has suffered from sleep disorders for a long time. He has not had a full night's sleep for at least 10 years, and in recent years, the time he can really fall asleep is no more than 5 hours a day.
In most cases, he was lying on the bed around 10 o'clock in the evening, tossing and turning. It was around 12 o'clock in the morning before he could barely fall asleep but he couldn't sleep for more than an hour, so he would definitely wake up before 1 o'clock, and then it would take another hour or 2 to fall asleep again.
The long-term sleep disturbance has caused his mental state to be not very good, which also exacerbated the deterioration of his Alzheimer's disease at another level.
but last night, the problem that had persisted for at least 10 years seemed to be solved after he came to Hillsprings.
After he took a shower last night, he slept until dawn.
He didn't wake up once, nor did he have any dreams, and he seemed to be in a rare state of deep sleep throughout the night.
The wife on the side also felt the same way.
Although the old lady does not have Alzheimer's disease yet, she is getting older and it is difficult to guarantee the quality of sleep.
but last night, similar to the old man, she slept until 7 o'clock in the morning and slept very soundly.
Because she slept so well, the 1st feeling she felt when she opened her eyes was an indescribable and strong sense of relaxation.
