Sally dropped her head and responded, “Alright.


    ”


    “Also, tell Lucinda to allow your bodyguards in.


    Don’t confine them to the basement again.


    Their duty is to protect you.


    You must stay close to them, understood?”


    Though reluctant, Sally acquiesced after a brief pause, “Yes.


    ”


    Mekhi then turned his gaze to Ryder, seated opposite Sally.


    Just as he was about to interrogate him, the bodyguards at the door rushed in.


    They looked like they saw a ghost.


    “Sir! Kyson has returned!”


    “Kyson?” Confusion etched Mekhi’s face.


    “Yes, Kyson, your brother.


    He is by the door!”


    As Mekhi listened, his frown deepened.


    He attempted to stand, but pain in his limbs forced him back down.


    Enduring it, hemanded, “Let him in.


    ”

    The sight of Kyson shocked everyone.


    Sally began to tear up.


    She was the most pumped up.


    “Kyson, it’s truly you?Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    You’re still alive?”


    With a smile, Kyson responded, “I’m fortunate to survive.


    ”


    He then looked at Mekhi and Ryder and greeted them.


    With a nk expression, Ryder nodded at him in response.


    Mekhi was the calmest among them.


    He stirred the soup in his bowl.


    The porcin spoon gently tapped against the bowl, emitting a crisp sound.


    He then asked seriously, “Since you’re alive, why didn’t you write a letter to inform us? Don’t we matter to you?”


    Kyson lowered his head politely and said, “I’m sorry that I got you worried.


    To survive, I had to hide myself.


    ”


    “It’s alright.


    It’s good to have you back.


    Have you had dinner?” Mekhi was pleased with how respectful Kyson was to him.


    “Not yet.


    ”


    Mekhi looked at the servants and said, “Serve him some food.


    ”


    “I’m not hungry,” Kyson declined.


    His blue eyes were fixed on Mekhi.


    “Mekhi, can we speak in private now?”
