I’m Someone Else

Thomas glanced at the people in the ward, then opened his mouth to ask, “Who’s Gavin?”

Harrison and his daughters didn’t say anything. Instead, they stared long and hard at Terrence.

Even though they were constantly at odds with the Pearsons, and they didn’t like seeing the Pearsons bullying Olivia and her sister, Gavin had a special identity. After all, he was the Pearsons’ key person who’d be the leader of the family in the future.

Samuel didn’t say anything, either. If he spoke up, Terrence would bear a grudge against him. For now, Samuel wasn’t sure if Thomas would turn completely against the Pearsons for Olivia’s sake.

Quincy didn’t say anything, either. He was old friends with Norman, but no matter how much he disapproved of Norman’s ways, he didn’t want to ruin their friendship.

When Thomas saw the crowd staying silent with weird looks on their faces, he was mad in an instant. “What’s the matter? Have you all gone mute?”

“It’s Norman’s son! He’s our brother from a different mother.”

Ophelie spoke up. Even though she had some unhappy memories of Thomas, it was all in the past. She heard from her sister, Olivia, that they were on good terms. Olivia even said that she had never been happier in the past ten years when Thomas celebrated her birthday with her, so just that fact alone was enough for Ophelie to be grateful to Thomas.

As for the Pearsons, she couldn’t care less. She wasn’t significant in the family in any way, and she never considered herself part of them. Their way of doing things disappointed her even more.

No one else dared to speak up because of their concerns, so Ophelie decided to do it herself. Her sister suffered so much. She couldn’t just pretend nothing happened.
