245 Open the Package

The name Stubborn Five was one that only Mr. Horton would call him, and there was only one other person

who would use that name.

That was the little girl from back then!

After being abducted by traffickers, he realized they were planning to kill him, so he was extremely secretive about his own name, never even telling that girl.

He merely said that he was the fifth child at home, and Grandpa called him Stubborn Five.

But wasn’t the little girl Madeleine?

He entered the study again, his gaze falling on the package… then he walked over and picked up the box.

He saw that inside was another box, which was tightly and securely wrapped in foam.

Alongside it was a letter.

What would Madeleine say in the letter?

This must be her last words, right?

Lewis scoffed ironically and threw the letter back on the table. He leaned back in his chair and looked at the marriage certificate on the table.
