My Husband Is My Professor And Boss - Volume 2 Chapter 160 Ch 160
Max grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. He held her close to his warm chest. Her body was still trembling and she was waiting for his answer. He placed his rough hand on her back and placed the other one on the back of her head, pressing her even harder into his chest. Closing his eyes he answered her very calmly. “No! Your mother could not escape the fire that night. By the time I got there, your mother was taking the last breath of her life.”
And in the meantime, Raina burst into tears. She clenched his shirt in her delicate and small hand. Even though she knew the reality, it was difficult for her to believe the same fact again after seeing the ray of hope. But soon before her eyes, the scene of that horrible night which was happened six years ago came.
Before her eyes, she saw the fire in which she had lost her everything. Even she could not see her mother for the last time. She had lost the most important person in her life that day but after meeting that thirteen-year-old boy today, she felt that her luck had helped her somewhere. And today, six years later, she got to see her little brother, and that was only because of Max.
Yes, the thirteen-year-old boy who was setting wheelchair was her younger brother, whom she had considered dead to this day. She tightened her grip on his chest even more. “Max, that was a very black day for us. I was only 12 at that time. What a crime we had done. For which we were given such a cruel punishment.” She began to whisper to his chest.
Max, on the other hand, placed his chin on her head and closed his eyes. He was a witness to that brutality. He knew what was happened to her little family. He was blaming himself for not being able to reach there on time that day and for not being able to save her mother.
But before her mother died, her mother handed him
her seven-year-old brother. Her mother had closed her eyes, giving the responsibility of both siblings to Max. Her brother was paralyzed in the same accident.
After a while, she calmed down completely and she loosened her grip on his chest. She poked her face out of his chest and looked at him. She lifted her hand and placed it on his cheek and began to rub his cheek with her soft and delicate hand. As her loving touch was felt on his cheek and a different kind of sensation ran through his body. He felt very relax just because of her soft touch.
She looked into his eyes and asked. “But how do you know all that? How do you know my mother and brother? And how did you get there that day? Also, you already knew I was illegitimate. Can you please answer these questions for me?” Max saw the curiosity in her eyes, and seeing that curiosity, he decided that he should tell her everything. And once she knows the truth, if something happens to her or someone tries to do anything to her, he will always be ready to protect her.
“I had just returned from abroad that day. I missed you so much. I wanted to see your smiling face so I decided to come straight to your home from the airport. But when I reached there, your house was burning in a terrible fire. My eyes widened at the sight. I was so shocked to see it all. But at that time my bodyguard helped me a lot and we both somehow managed to get inside the house. Everything in the house was engulfed in flames. My bodyguard and I started looking for you, your brother and mother. After a while, I saw your mother lying on the ground in the kitchen. When I approached her, I saw that she had already been stabbed in the stomach and blood was coming out of her stomach. She was unconscious due to too much blood loss. I quickly bent down and started trying to wake her up.
A few moments later she opened her eyes and looked at me. But as soon as she saw me, she panicked and tried to move back. It was very hard to see her in that situation. She was scared of me because she didn’t recognize me at first. I grabbed her shoulder and told her who I was. She calmed down but tears started flowing from her eyes. I started asking her who did all this but she was having a hard time speaking. Then she raised her trembling hand and pointed to the closed room. When I went into the room, your brother was lying unconscious on the ground. As I approached, I noticed that both his legs were fractured. I then quickly picked him up and went back to your mother.
When I approached your mother, my bodyguard was trying to ask her about you. Because we didn’t see you anywhere. At that time, she said with great difficulty that as soon as those people came, she had pushed you out of the house with your grandmother through the back door.
Then she handed over your brother to me and gave up her life.”
After hearing all that, Raina went out of mind. All he said happened after her mother forcibly kicked her and her grandmother out of the house. She and her grandmother did not want to leave her mother but due to her mother’s stubbornness, they could not do anything.
Her mother had told them before pushing them out of the house that, ‘her brother was playing on the nearby ground. They would pick him from there and leave the city immediately.’ But when Raina and she and her grandmother went to the ground, they did not see her brother anywhere.
And when they went to her home…..
