Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 260

She actually did walk me down the hill, without ever revealing her name. By the time I reached the bottom, Max's Maybach was already waiting there.

The man with the gold chain hurriedly parked and said to me, "The boss mentioned someone would pick you up here at the foot of the hill. This person is trustworthy."

When I tried to probe him for more information, it seemed like he anticipated my questions, quickly adding, "The boss said not to tell you anything about her for your own safety. But if you miss her, you can always reach out to me."

I nodded, feeling a wave of sadness as I got out of the car.

Having siblings I can't acknowledge, being at odds instead of united—it's a strange kind of family dynamic.

Suddenly, I wondered if my parents might still be alive.

Max had already gotten out of the car and was walking towards me. He pinched my cheek and asked, "Lost in thought?"

I looked up, and in the blink of an eye, tears flooded my eyes, my voice tinged with emotion, "Max, do you know who she is?"

I saw hesitation in his eyes, as if he knew something but he replied, "I don't."

Was he like my sister, thinking the less I knew, the better for me?

"Are there any top royal families with the surname Floyd?" I asked, hoping he could dig up some information.

He shook his head, "Each continent has its top royal families, and as far as I know, none have that surname. But the most powerful royal family in the world is shrouded in mystery; no one knows their true surname. And are you sure your father's surname was Floyd?"

I was taken aback.

Such high-level families likely wouldn't use their real surnames.

"Are my parents really dead then?"

He shook his head again, "By the time I got back, they were already gone. All I received from the Hilton family was their ashes. I kept them, knowing they were your parents, thinking I'd give them to you one day. That's all."

I reached out and hugged him, "Max, maybe my parents are alive and well, just not wanting me to suffer through the struggles of that kind of family, so they don't acknowledge me?"
