He looked at Helen Blair and said with some difficulty, "Wasn't that when your stepmother sent someone to harm you? I heard his name is Yas, isn't it? Was it because of James Anderson that you didn't fall into your stepmother's trap? Or did you already learn about her conspiracy beforehand?"
Though Brian pretended to be calm, he was very nervous inside. He hoped that the answer would be negative, that Helen has never harmed his Brother. Even if she has never loved him, she hasn't hurt him either. If so, he might still be able to forgive her...
He didn't know why he was so nervous about this answer, so nervous that his heart raced, and his breathing became difficult,
Brother, you are afraid of that answer too, aren't you?
He prayed that the truth would not be as Amelia Walker and others said, not as they said.
He lowered his head, using the act of dining as a cover for his tension. His heart tightened and loosened, making him very uncomfortable.
