Genius Children - The Heirs

25. Ruona's past

Daniel and Damian immediately ran into Liana's room. Their eyes were immediately fixed on the bed.

Apparently their mother was snuggling there. Liana who was originally closed now immediately opened her eyes when she heard the roaring small steps.

“Mother what happened to you?” damian asked looking down at his mother. He found a bandage on his mother's forehead and was worried.

“Mother is okay.”

“Face mom can't lie. What happened to mom? Tell us.” This time it was Daniel who cried. “This injury?”

Liana rubbed both cheeks of her two sons. “Mother just felt a little tired then accidentally dropped.”

“Mother is always careless,” Damian said.

“Let your mother rest.”

Damian and Daniel turn around and find their father.

“You change clothes and go eat.”

Liana's voice was soft as usual but like someone was covering her.

“But mother..”.

“Mother is okay. Quickly change clothes and eat,” said Liana.

Damian and Daniel are out. Damian's brain is still thinking about what causes his mother to look different than before.

“What? What's up?” daniel asked as he saw Damian stop.

“I think something's wrong with mom.”

“You also feel it?”

“Let's find out,” take Damian.

“What? How?” daniel asked confused.

“Come with me out.”

Damian drags Daniel in, but Daniel hesitates a little.

“Dad and mom told us to change clothes and eat.”

“After we change clothes and eat we will get an answer? Well, it looks like you'll be here. I'll go alone.”

Damian immediately went out and Daniel only looked at him in confusion. Daniel began to wonder if he should follow his brother or obey his father's words.

After being attacked by an overwhelming sense of anxiety. Daniel runs to find Damian.

“Hei wait for me!”

Damian and Daniel are sitting in a car.

“You know that guy?” point Daniel at the person driving.

“He's my man.”

Daniel was a little stunned but he had started to calm down. But after some time, Daniel panicked again. If his father finds out that they're sneaking out. His father will punish them. Their father was very strict and disciplined. Daniel was agitated at the thought of that.

“What are you thinking?” ask Damian.

Damian's sudden question took Daniel by surprise. Daniel's heart was racing.

“No.”

The car they were driving stopped in a tall building.

“Have you investigated what mom did today and with whom mom met?”

“Iya.”

“Good.”

Anji immediately took Damian and Daniel into the building and headed straight to the elevator to climb the top floor.

They all went into the room. For the first time Damian went to his own office.

The little boy immediately occupied his chair. Daniel was busy looking at every corner of the room.

Anji gave a stack of documents containing information.

“Is everything here?”

“Ya.”

“Who was my mother last to meet someone? And who would dare hurt my mother?”

“It...”

Anji slightly glanced towards Daniel.

“That's Ruona.”

Hearing Ruona's name, it was obvious that Daniel immediately turned around and approached his brother.

“Mama hurt mom?”

“You still call it mama after daring to hurt mom?”

“No...I mean..”.

Damian refocused on the documents in his hands. Daniel also read the document.

Damian was flipping through the sheets.

“Ya,” Anji replied.

“Really?” daniel was surprised.

“What do you know about mom?” ledek Damian's.

“Nothing,” replied Daniel listlessly.

The two boys are still refocusing on the information. Then their eyes locked on a photo.

A photo of the girl facing the camera with a blank look. His clothes were shabby with a pale face.

“Is this a mother when she was young? Why is mom so skinny?” daniel did not believe what he saw.

“What happened to mom back then?” ask Damian.

Damian's face hardened like concrete. His gaze turned terrifying.

Seeing Damian's changed expression made Anji's voice suck and he cleared his throat.

“At that time, your mother was depressed.”

Those words were not understood by Daniel at first, “Depression?”

“Your mother is depressed for being accused of stealing. He wants to end his life on a hunger strike. In the end your mother was anorexic and was rushed to the hospital."

“Eccsecution him.”

“Damian.”

“I said execution.”

Damian looked at Daniel.

“You better go home.”

Daniel immediately rejected Damian's proposal. “No! I want to come with you.”

“If we are both not at home for a long time father and mother will be suspicious. You better be home and give a good reason when I'm not visible.”

Damian and Anji go to the execution ground while Daniel returns home. The atmosphere in the car was so quiet that Anji had to swallow his saliva with difficulty.

The dark aura that Damian emitted was truly terrifying.

When he was in the execution room. Anji immediately told the two guards to speak.

Damian immediately sat down in front of the man who was being tied up.

“Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?”

“You don't need our identity. We will ask two questions if you are cooperative, I will release,” Damian said in the darkness so that the man could not see Damian.

Damian immediately gave instructions to Anji. Anji understood and immediately handed two photos to the prisoner.

The man immediately saw the photo and recognized it immediately.

“Rina."

“How can he be in the Cross family? Do you know it?”

“Of course. Simon Cross himself picked him up.”

“Why was he taken by the Cross family?”

“He has a necklace with a very rare and unique pendant. Mr. Simon Cross has one of them that looks alike. I remember back then Mr. Simon Cross told me that he was his missing relative.”

“Is it a memento given by the descendants of Cross.” Damian was deep in his own thoughts. He pressed his grip on his chair.

“Speaking with necklace. I remember something.”

Damian narrowed his eyes. “What? Speak!”

“Every child who goes into the home will have a special record of what items they have. Rina or Ruona, originally did not have the necklace.”

“Does that mean the Cross family took the wrong child?” ask Anji.

“You could say that.”

“She took the necklace from someone else and occupied a place that should not belong to her in the Cross family. If you knew it from the beginning, why didn't you say it at that time?”

“Rina or Ruona is a cute girl. He was liked by his teachers and friends. No one thought that he stole it from someone else.”

Damian then told Anji to show him another photo.

The man frowned trying to dredge his memories.

“I don't remember this kid.”

Damian frowned while looking at the man in front of him. “Look carefully.”

“I remember now. His name is Lili, he's also a kid in an orphanage. Ruona's necklace was taken from this child.”

“So that necklace, taken from this boy."

Damian's eyes were even colder. Damian immediately stood up from his chair and left. His feelings are so mixed.

“Ruona has usurped the position of mother. Everything she has should belong to mother,” Damian said.

“So Gideon Cross's fiance is Liana,” Anji said. “How do we deal with Ruona?”

“There is no forgiveness for anyone who hurt mom."
