Chapter 11 A Hint of Disappointment


"If I didn't have a wife, where do you think you would come from?" Alaric responded helplessly to the question.

Having cleared that up, Harry felt a twinge of disappointment. Certainly, he and Caspian weren't long-lost twins after all. But how could they look so alike?

"One last question." Harry looked at Alaric. "Why did I run away from home?"

'Caspian's amnesia is real; he doesn't remember any of this, which is probably for the best-especially forgetting Galatea,' Alaric thought to himself. "You weren't eating properly, and I lost my temper and scolded you." "Over that?"

Alaric nodded.

'Caspian, is that sensitive? My mom must have disciplined him countless times, yet they're still very close. He never even thought about running away from home,' Harry thought. 'The kids who grow up in wealthy families sure are fragile.' "Now that I know what I need to do, can I see my grandma and mom?" He wanted to meet these people first, then dig deeper into whether his resemblance to Caspian was just a coincidence or if there were other secrets. "Your grandma is on vacation abroad and can't come back now."

"Wow, my grandma really knows how to live it up. What about my mom?" Harry asked. "Is she out of the country, too?"

"No," Alaric said, "I'll contact her right away. You'll see her very soon."

"All right, Dad!"

"Then you go ahead and eat," Alaric said.
