"So? Still nothing?"
For the rest who had always known Conan's father was just within their reach, they had no conscience in keeping him in the dark. Aries was the only person who had always intended to tell Conan, but the reason she hadn't told him until now was that she was waiting for the right time.
"What…" Conan moved his dilated eyes to Aries, still stunned at this surprise he didn't expect or wanted. "What is he doing here?"
"As you can see, he is still… recovering," explained Aries, setting her eyes back to the bed. "When Sunny arrived in Haimirich, she wasn't alone."
"He's been here that long?"
"We couldn't tell you — I think you already why."
Conan slowly curled his hands into a fist, clenching his teeth until his jaw tightened. He could feel his heart racing, making him almost out of breath.
"Why did she bring him here?" he breathed out, barely controlling his body from shaking.
