Chapter 43 - Henry's Confession
Henry quietly lowered himself onto an old wooden chair.
"There is something I never told you."
Everyone turned toward him.
"Jacob asked me to protect someone."
Aaron looked up.
"It was you."
Henry's eyes filled with regret.
"I never knew your real parents."
"I only knew Jacob believed your life mattered."
"So I helped hide you."
Aaron struggled to speak.
"You've known..."
"...all these years?"
Henry nodded.
"I promised Jacob I would never tell anyone unless Cross returned."
Nathan slowly applauded.
"A touching reunion."
Then his smile disappeared.
"And unfortunately..."
May you like
"...exactly what I expected."
