NovelEnglishChapter 242 The words were so crooked and difficult to decipher that Carissa had to spend a long tmaking sense of them.
When she finally figured them out, she looked up at Ryan with swollen eyes, tears streaming down her face once more. The words felt like daggers piercing her heart, causing her to curl up slightly in pain.
In the days before the massacre, she had returned to Northwatch Estate and discussed the Victory Pass battle with Melanie, who was worried about Dominic. She feared her father might meet the sfate as her husband and sons. Carissa had tried to comfort her, but her own anxiety about her grandfather and her concern for her mother was palpable.
Outside Melanie's courtyard, Carissa had bumped into Ryan. He had lifted his small face and asked his aunt if she was unhappy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarissa had smiled and ruffled his hair, saying, "I'm a little bit unhappy, but I'll cheer up soon. Don't worry, Ryan." At the time, she had been preoccupied with her own worries and had given a somewhat dismissive answer. Perhaps Ryan sensed her unhappiness and thought buying her candied apples would lift her spirits. During the year and more Carissa had spent waiting to marry after returning from Meadow Ridge, she had primarily spent her tplaying with the children, trying to bring them joy and alleviate their fear of losing their fathers. As a result, her nephews and nieces were very close to her.
Ryan had been five years old then, old enough to understand the gravity of the situation. He saw his grandmother and mother crying all the time, and knew his father was dead. Being smart and sensitive, he had becvery dependent on Carissa and was especially close to her.
Ryan continued to write laboriously. After a while, his wrist was clearly exhausted, so Carissa suggested he take a break. But he stubbornly clenched his fist and continued to write.
Through painstakingly slow writing, the truth of how he had escaped was finally being revealed.
That day, he had slipped out at noon. Afraid of being caught, he had asked his +25 BONUS Chapter 242 attendant, Sunny, to wear his clothes and hide in the house to fool his mother. Ryan had then crawled through a dog hole to leave the estate and buy candied apples.
Back then, Sunny had only recently been brought into Northwatch Estate. Yvette had planned to make him Ryan's study companion, a detail Carissa was unaware of.
Ryan had just bought the candied apples with the intention of taking them to Valor Estate for Carissa when he was struck on the head midway. When he woke up, he found himself locked in a dark room with several other children.
They had been captured by human traffickers.
The other children were frightened by threats and dared not resist, but Ryan had fought back and been brutally beaten.
These children had three possible fates: becoming beggars, being trained as thieves, or, for girls, being sold to brothels. That day, Ryan's leg had been broken, condemning him to a life as a beggar.

Over the past two years, as Ryan moved from place to place, he eventually learned of his family's massacre after being held by the traffickers for over half a year. At the time, many people were saying that the Duke of Northwatch's family had been completely wiped out. He had believed that this meant Carissa was also dead.
The past two years had been incredibly harsh for Ryan. He had tried to escape countless times, only to be caught and brutally beaten each time. Whenever he begged for food, someone would always be watching him. Most of the time, he couldn't escape due to his injured leg, and getting caught meant a severe beating.
Over time, he grew fearful of trying to run away. He began to feel despair and numbness inside.
