Chapter 440 Connor Has Always Been Alone

Nolan came out and stopped Ethan. "Jasmine is fine. You should take care of your wound first, or you'll scare her."

Ethan paused and looked down at the wound on his shoulder. There was a lot of blood, which was indeed quite frightening.

"Jasmine is asleep. Go treat your wound first," Edward said, frowning as he pulled Ethan towards the emergency room.

"Jasmine had congenital heart disease as a child. If she gets agitated, her chest hurts, and she needs medication. She said that since being with you, her episodes have been rare, so she left the medicine at home. That's why we came to the emergency room," Edward's tone softened towards Ethan.

Although Jasmine's hospitalization had scared him, it was clear that Ethan really cared for her.

Ethan felt a bit guilty. "It's my fault."

"What happened to your shoulder? And why didn't you answer your phone?" Edward asked, showing concern.

"A friend ran into some trouble, and I went to help him. Got a bit injured," Ethan said, holding his shoulder. As soon as he entered the emergency room, he saw Connor sitting on a bench.

The ambulance had arrived quickly; he was probably waiting for the test results.

Connor, tall and long-legged, sat despondently in the hospital corridor, looking somewhat lonely and desolate.

Perhaps, he had always been alone.

In Ethan's memory, Connor had been alone since he was five.

Although his mother was young, she died in childbirth along with Connor's sister.

That same year, Owen's illegitimate daughter, Deborah Morris, was born and brought back to the Hawthorne family.

In his childhood memories, Connor always thought Deborah was his sister. Even

though his mother was gone, he felt he had to protect his sister.

Owen never explained to Connor that she wasn't his sister but his niece.

Deborah was an illegitimate daughter of the Hawthorne family, hidden from the public. Thinking about this, Owen's words echoed in Connor's mind.

"Connor, you're still young. Now that your Mom is gone, only I can protect you in this family, understand?"
