Ben greeted Zachary and his wife once more, before finally sitting down next to his beloved wife.
They exchanged a few cold pleasantries until it was time for dinner.
It was because of the arrival of an important guest, the Johnsons were dining in the main house. The
dinner was lively and energetic.
The two grannies were particularly happy. Perhaps it was because of their age, they both shared the
same mindset of enjoying the scene of their children and grandchildren filling the house.
Later that night, Serenity had just managed to get her nephew to sleep and was feeling drowsy herself.
Hearing the sound of the door, she sat up and saw Zachary enter the room.
“You are not asleep yet.”
Gently, Zachary asked, “I was talking with Ben for quite a while, I thought you were asleep.”
“I was putting Sonny to sleep, and I almost fell asleep too.”
She then asked, “What are those patterns on Laurence’s back? They look like tattoos. Laurence had it
done since he was younger, it must have hurt a lot back then.”
After a moment of silence, Zachary answered, “No one would willingly tattoo their own flesh and blood
unless they had no other choice.
“Laurence’s background is still a mystery, but it is not that simple. Ben and Jane treat him as if he was
their own, but they still sent him away because they could not keep him safe. It was not that they could
not protect him, but that the repercussions would be too great for the Johnson couple. Plus, Laurence
is too young. They cannot protect him mindlessly, they need to give him a solid foundation while he is
still a kid.
“Since Dr. Carden took a liking to Laurence, Jane sent him over to Dr. Carden to let her be both a
teacher and a motherly figure to him. The eccentric figures from that group of legendary doctors are
rarely heard of nowadays among the younger generations. However, the stories about them are plenty.
“Messing with one person could rile up a whole group. Not many people dare provoke their elders; they
are like shadows, appearing and disappearing without a trace.
“Laurence is much safer with them.”
Serenity’s heart was racing as she listened, and she then whispered, “Could someone be trying to hunt
down Laurence? He is just a kid who’s barely three.”
Zachary looked at the soundly sleeping Sonny. Sonny and Laurence got along like glue, and the
relationship between the York and Johnson families was also steadily strengthening. When Elisa
eventually married the Johnson family, the two families would get even closer. With the combined
power of the two influential families, would they not be able to ensure Laurence’s safety?
“Ben did not tell me much, so I’m basically doing guesswork. My guess is everyone in Laurence’s
family was killed, except for poor little Laurence. He’s carrying a terribly heavy burden of vengeance.”
Serenity’s face turned pale.
“Could it be that his family was involved in some shady business? Were they massacred by a rivaling
faction?”
“I don’t know. Not even the Houston family could trace Laurence’s family background. The Houstons
are pretty similar to the Buchams. I believe Ben and Jane were aware of Laurence’s identity. They
chose to adopt him and treat him like their own. They wouldn’t let the word of his identity be out in the
public.”
“I thought you said that it wasn’t easy to find out his background. How did Jane and her husband find
that information?
“Ohhh, is it the legendary doctors?”
Zachary nodded in affirmation. He urged his wife, “Seren, Laurence’s identity should not be taken
lightly. We stumbled upon Laurence’s back by accident, without a full understanding of the situation.
We must never lift Laurence’s shirt again, make sure nobody sees the tattoo on his back.
“Sonny is still young, he might not understand the consequences. You should urge him not to reveal it
to anyone, lest it leads to Laurence’s downfall.”
Serenity nodded her head solemnly.
“I will.”
She did not know the mysteries behind Laurence’s identity, nor the secrets behind the tattoo on
Laurence’s back. She lifted his shirt because she was worried that Laurence might have hurt his back,
only to stumble upon a sight that was best left in secret.
The situation was dire.
They must not mention this no matter what.
“Sonny is very sensible. He’ll definitely follow my instructions not to talk about the tattoo.”
Zachary said in a warm tone, “Sonny is still a child. Children are curious by nature. He saw the secret
that was tattooed on Laurence’s back. Who knows, Sonny might have lifted Laurence’s shirt many
times to further inspect the tattoo behind his back. Plus, Laurence has no idea that he is carrying the
burden of vengeance for his family.”
