LRAB Chapter 45
Chapter 45
Upon hearing what lady Madison just said, Ethan immediately forced his hand off lady Madison's, he was so shocked by what she just said. How could she say he was her grandson? Ethan looked at her face to see if she was joking.
But the look on her face showed she was damn serious.
Ethan at that moment did not know what to say. Lady Madison was not the type of person to make a mistake like this, and it was strange hearing such from her.
With a quivering voice Ethan said.
"How... I'm an orphan?"
Lady Madison shook her head in Disapproval; she then told Ethan everything. She talked about his birthmark. When Ethan was brought before her she saw the birthmark and it was the same as her late son. She showed him the DNA test results. She explained how they got his blood for the test from the kettle Incident.
"I know you have had a very hard life, Ethan, I Experienced some today"
Lady Madison said softly. Her eyes looked sad and disgusted.
"I am so very sorry for everything that has happened, for everything you went through and didn't have a shoulder to cry on, someone to run to, I'm sorry Ethan"
At that moment Ethan's mind started racing. His heart beat fast in his chest. He felt overwhelmed and couldn't believe his ears.
"She is damn serious about this, no wonder she let go of the kettle and was so nice to me today."
Ethan said to himself.
Lady Madison continued.
"I want to make it all up to you. You should not live in the school dorms anymore. Come stay with me at the mansion. Or I can rent you a big house very close to your school if that's what you prefer."
Ethan's eyes widened even more he couldn't believe it. First, he has so much money from the system to spend and change his life with. Now, he finds out he is the grandson of the richest woman in the whole country! It was too much to process all at once and the more he thinks about it the more confused he becomes.
"I... I think I need some time,"
Ethan stammered, looking down at his hands.
Mr.Thompson, helped her with her coat. Ethan stood as well.
"I will. Thank you again, for everything"
He bow a little.
Lady Madison surprised Ethan by pulling him into a hug; she wasn't expecting it this quickly, without being told she could tell Ethan is a nice person just like his parents.
He tensed for a moment, unused of the affection, before relaxing into her embrace. She smelled like flowers and money holding onto her grandson.
After a long moment, she released him, cupping his face with one soft hand.
"You're my family, Ethan. Never forget that, never forget where you came from"
With one last smile, Lady Madison turned and began walking to the door, her shoe clicking on the shiny floor.
Mr.Thompson nodded to Ethan before following lady Madison out. The heavy glass door swung shut behind them with a final-sounding thud.
Ethan at that moment let out a shaky breath he never thought of the possibility he will be holding or even hugging lady Madison in his life, but it turned out she's her grandmother.
However he had so many questions to ask about his parents but he decided to go slowly.
He ran a hand through his hair as he tried to organize his racing thoughts.
He was just about to sit back down when his phone buzzed with a notification.
Ethan pulled it out of his pocket and looked at the screen. It was a video alert that Billy was doing a live video, and he was drinking with friends.
"Billy!"
Ethan said, he couldn't believe he almost forgot about him in all this excitement?
As Ethan watched the video, he felt his expression darken like a storm cloud covering the sun.
immediately his Anger began to boil inside him, replacing his shock and confused state. His hands curled into his fists and around the phone.
