Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 466:

When Connor asked about Kevin, Marissa’s movements came to an abrupt stop, as if time itself had halted. The name Kevin had always been buried deep in her heart, a tightly kept secret she rarely ever shared with anyone. But Connor somehow knew about it, and Marissa could guess why—she must have called out Kevin’s name in her sleep.

After a lingering moment of silence, Marissa swallowed hard, her eyes betraying a hint of sadness as she began to speak. “He’s a family member who has been lost for many years.”

“A family member? Lost for many years?” Connor quickly grasped the significance. His initial pang of jealousy swiftly dissipated. “Have you been searching for him all this time?”

Marissa replied in a frail voice, as if the weight of her sorrow had drained her of every ounce of strength. “I have been looking for him for eighteen years, but the world is huge. I can’t find any trace of him. I don’t know if I’ll ever find him in my lifetime.”

As he listened, Connor furrowed his brow slightly, feeling a surge of sympathy welling up inside him. Eighteen years meant she was merely four years old when she got separated from Kevin. He remembered delving into her background and discovering that she lived in Blo Grein until she was four. Could Kevin be from Blo Grein?

The fact that she had persistently searched for someone for so long meant that Kevin must have been a significant relative.

“Do you need my help?” he offered gently.

“Thank you, but I can do it myself,” Marissa replied softly. She was adamant about not sharing anything regarding Kevin with anyone, unwilling to expose her old wounds to others. Just speaking to Connor about this had been stretching the limits of her comfort.
