บท 322: I Apologize

Erasmi had never thought that he would be amused when someone asked him why he had not died. But looking at the poor woman's face, he could only chuckle in amusement.

Her hands still covering her mouth, she stared at him, a mix of disbelief and embarrassment evident in her wide eyes. "I-I... I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to sound heartless. It's just... even your laughter is like my Caius."

Erasmi's amusement disappeared, and he looked down before looking at her slowly," His laughter is like mine, Mrs Mercer."

Mrs Mercer shot him a horrified look before nodding slowly," I... uh...I don't know what to say... I was told that Caius' both biological parents had died in the accident, and he was barely saved by the doctors as a premature baby. It was your grandfather who made the arrangements for Caius' adoption... He had a few conditions before the adoption to which we agreed but I don't understand... why did he lie to us?"
