“Let’s go!” Madelyn declared. Ignoring the displeased expression on Hayden’s face, she promptly led Josiah and the others away without a second thought,

Once they had covered a certain distance, Madelyn let out a sigh of relief. She glanced over at Josiah and noticed his complexion looked extremely terrible.

The usually boisterous and rowdy boy had fallen completely silent. His eyes were a deep abyss of darkness, their profound depth making it impossible to decipher his thoughts.

Meanwhile, Tristan stood to one side, watching. He let out a helpless sigh, unsure of what to say.

This was the first time Jillian had seen Josiah in such a reticent state. She had to admit, it was somewhat intimidating. Clinging tightly to Madelyn’s hand, she didn’t even dare to breathe.

Madelyn, on the other hand, appeared outwardly calm, yet her mind was incessantly replaying the circumstances surrounding Josiah.

In reality. Josiah’s father held the highest rank in the family, while Hayden’s father was second in line.

Before Josiah was born, he had two older brothers. His eldest brother was a natural–born soldier who had achieved the rank of colonel at a young age. He was greatly esteemed by his family and adored by his

soldiers.

However, a few years ago, an unexpected car accident cost him the use of his legs. Despite the Blume family’s relentless efforts to treat him, the results were less than satisfactory. Gradually, he felt as though he had become half a cripple, and his spirit started to fade away.

As for Josiah’s other older brother, there was even less to say. From a young age, he had always been in poor health. After growing up, he failed his physical examination and was unable to join the military. Therefore, he had to find a new path and became a lawyer.

Precisely because his elder brothers were not faring well, Josiah’s father had placed all his hopes and expectations on his youngest son, wishing for him to single–handedly uphold the family’s honor.

Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of this that Josiah lost the childhood he was supposed to have. From the moment Josiah could remember, his life had been filled with nothing but relentless pressure from his family, and days that were thoroughly scheduled.
