Sebastian Ford looked at her and smiled again, his peach blossom eyes gentle: "You’re our sister, family, no need to say thanks. You could say we’re half friends, now we’re family."

His features, at this moment, became even more handsome and charming.

Tiana Thorne couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

Fifth Brother, you’re really handsome.

Only now did she realize, the words "family," held so much beauty and warmth, moving people greatly.

Rouge Jarvis watched the scene unfold, feeling moved inside as well.

Now, these young people needed more time to nurture their feelings. She took the thermos and smiled: "I’ll go back and prepare dinner for Tiana, you guys chat first."

"Mom, you’re not coming in the evening, right? I’m feeling much better now, with Chantal around, no one can harm me."

She shook her head: "No, I’ll come back in the evening."

Tiana Thorne did not insist.

Now that her mother had found her, she probably wished to be with her every hour of every day. How could she not comply with her mother’s wishes?

She curled her lips, revealing two sweet and charming dimples: "Okay."

Rouge Jarvis left.

The hospital room only had the three of them left.

Tiana Thorne saw him seemingly pondering something, with his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, and called out to him: "Fifth Brother."

He withdrew from his thoughts and looked at her: "Hmm?"

She asked, "Are you thinking about Meredith Ford?"

At the mention of Meredith Ford’s name, his furrowed brow deepened.

Thinking that he previously believed there was a misunderstanding between her and Poppy, trying to resolve it made him feel uneasy.

At that time, he was just a hacker in a cooperative relationship with Poppy. Now, knowing the truth, he seemed to understand that she must have felt uncomfortable hearing those words on the phone.

Being willing to meet him was truly a blessing.

And fortunately, he had called Fourth Brother in the morning, which led to the current meeting.

But there were some things that needed to be said.

He pressed his lips, his eyes serious: "Poppy, I’m sorry, I just didn’t expect..."

She immediately interrupted him: "I understand, no one wants to maliciously speculate about those around them. Just like me now, meeting you all, it’s impossible for me to speculate if you’re bad people or if you’ll harm me one day. So, brother, I don’t blame you."

She didn’t blame him, nor their eldest brother back then.

It’s good that the truth was revealed.

The children of their mother all knew how to distinguish right from wrong. After unveiling Meredith Ford’s disguise, they also knew what to hold onto and what to let go.

Sebastian Ford smiled, he truly worried that this matter would create a rift between the siblings, but it seemed there wasn’t.

"Brother, you shouldn’t be sad either."

Learning that their former sister was such a person must have stirred some sadness, right?

"Not sad, just blaming myself for being shortsighted and extremely foolish for not seeing her true colors."

Upon hearing this, Tiana Thorne laughed, half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Second Brother witnessed firsthand what she did to Chantal, which is why he remained indifferent, but the other brothers and parents didn’t see it. Brother, your words just now were like scolding mom and dad too."

Still, the Tiana Thorne who loved to tease.

Sebastian Ford laughed, as if recalling their past interactions.

He had found a treasure, and she was his sister.

"Brother, are you so sure it’s someone close by, do you already have a suspect in mind for who it is behind the scenes?"
