Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1994

After the old ghost found out Levi had a lingering attachment, causing his delay in entering the afterlife, his first reaction was to ask what it was.

If possible, he wanted to fulfill his wishes to spare himself from his regret.

Levi looked at the old ghost, then at Shannon, and after a moment, seemed to decide there was nothing to hide.

"I want to find my little sister," he said quietly.

Levi had been born into a home that could hardly be called decent, with a mother who died young and an abusive, alcoholic father.

He and his sister had grown up clinging to each other for warmth, relying on no one but themselves.

By the time he was barely a teenager, he had tried to stand up to their father, but it never worked.

When he turned 15, he dropped out of school to start working.

He bussed tables and hauled bricks at construction sites, anything to make money.

His one goal was simple—earn enough so he could take his sister away from that man.

His father eventually found out about Levi's plan. Instead of letting his sister go, he tightened his grip on her.

Considering Levi had started working, he knew his son would keep bringing money back as long as she was in the house.

Levi didn't just fail to save her—he ended up being exploited even more. If he brought home too little, he would still suffer abuse from his father.

Then one day, he broke. He ran away and left his sister behind.

He told himself it wasn't abandonment, that he was just leaving to get stronger and build a better life so he could come back and truly save her one day.

He told himself that repeatedly, but no matter how many times he tried to justify it, he knew the truth deep down.
