The First Heir

Before leaving, Philip came to the dimly lit room and said to the boss sitting in the corner, “As long as you cooperate, you’ll be fine.”

After a few more reminders, Jack and Philip returned home.

It was getting late. Philip called the siblings to the only table, took out a photo of their family of four, and handed it to Jess.

Jess was stunned for a while before she burst into tears with the photo in both hands. Jack stepped forward to comfort his sister and also saw the photo.

Although Jack was young, he understood the significance of finding this photo, so he burst into tears too. The siblings hugged each other and sobbed bitterly.

Philip looked at the two who only had each other to depend on for the rest of their lives and did not know how to comfort them for a while, so he just watched and waited for them to calm down.

Jess stopped crying first and asked Philip with red eyes, “Did you find the remains of my parents?”

As she spoke, she sobbed again.

Philip nodded as answer.
