Chapter 604: He Couldn’t Bear His Sister Suffering
Selene noticed that John Wilkinson’s tone was much gentler than before, and she was quite surprised. Was this a softening tactic?
Selene spoke honestly, “I don’t know. I just dream of certain things, someone feeding me something, someone telling me to run. My mind is in chaos.”
John Wilkinson speculated, “Were your memories erased by the Celestial Alliance?”
Selene shook her head. “I really don’t know, but it doesn’t matter. Captain Wilkinson, whether you say I killed someone or I’m an assassin, just give me a quick end, and I’ll accept it.”
“We won’t let any bad person go unpunished, nor will we wrong a good person,” John Wilkinson said. “Think carefully. Can you remember anything? If you provide important information, you could get a reduced sentence.”
Selene looked at John Wilkinson and genuinely tried to recall, but her mind remained a blur, completely blank.NôvelDrama.Org content.
“When you electrocuted me, I had brief flashes of memory, but they slipped away quickly,” Selene said. “You can try electrocuting me again.”
John Wilkinson thought of the possibility that Selene might be his sister and recalled her previous suffering. His heart ached. He didn’t say anything else, only, “Rest well. In half an hour, everything will be revealed.”
“Half an hour for what?” Selene asked, confused.
John Wilkinson didn’t mention the identification test.
Half an hour later.
The results came in. John Wilkinson had Robert guard Selene while he went to retrieve them.
When he saw the results, John Wilkinson felt overwhelming joy. He and Selene were related by blood; they were siblings.
Selene was most likely the Sarah he had been searching for all along.
John Wilkinson was ecstatic but also furious with himself for having interrogated Selene all night and causing his own sister to faint four times. He wanted to slap himself.
Holding the identification report, John Wilkinson quickly walked towards the hospital room. His face showed uncontrollable joy as he excitedly pushed open the door. “Robert, leave us alone.”
Robert noticed John Wilkinson’s joyful expression and saw that his gaze towards Selene was completely different from before. Though puzzled, he said nothing and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Once Robert left, John Wilkinson showed Selene the identification results. “You’re not Selene; you’re my sister Sarah-Sarah Wilkinson. These are the results! And the burn on your arm-that happened because I didn’t take good care of you. Sarah, I’m your big brother.”
Selene was speechless.
The leap was too great for her to process.
The Captain Wilkinson who had tortured her to near death was now claiming to be her brother?
Did she have a family?
The identification results couldn’t be fake; a counter-terrorism team captain wouldn’t joke about such things.
Selene frowned. “I don’t remember.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember; I do,” John Wilkinson said happily. “Sarah, I’ve been looking for you all this time. Big brother has finally found you. I’ll take you home soon to meet Mom and Dad.”
Suddenly confronted with so many relatives, Selene couldn’t accept it.
She voiced her doubts, “I’m Sarah? Then how did I end up in the Celestial Alliance? Didn’t you say I was their top assassin?”
“When you were six years old, I took you and James mountain climbing. You got lost by accident. Later, I found out that many children your age had gone missing across the country and were taken by an organization called Celestial Alliance. I figured you must be there too and have been investigating them ever since.”
John Wilkinson feared his sister might have died during Celestial Alliance’s brutal training.
He had previously captured Celestial Alliance assassins and knew how they were trained.
He was shocked that Selene was his sister but relieved she was alive while also deeply pained by what she must have endured.
Selene felt little emotional fluctuation; whether John Wilkinson called her his sister or a suspect assassin made no difference to her since she knew nothing and everything felt confusing.
Seeing her bewilderment, John Wilkinson said, “Sarah, with me around from now on, you’ll never suffer again. Come home with me.”
Selene asked, “I’m an assassin from Celestial Alliance with blood on my hands. Are you going to release me just because I’m your sister?”
This question left John Wilkinson at a loss for words.
Before knowing Selene was his sister, he had steeled his heart against her; now everything had changed…
John Wilkinson hugged Selene tightly and said excitedly, “You’re suffering from amnesia now and there’s insufficient evidence against you. The Celestial Alliance might try to silence you knowing you’re in police custody. Stay with me; I’ll protect you and help you regain your memory. Then you can provide clues to dismantle Celestial Alliance and receive leniency for your contributions. I won’t let anything happen to you; I believe my sister is kind-hearted and wouldn’t do bad things. Besides, when Ethan Channing died, there was another woman with you-it must have been her doing it, not you.”
He couldn’t bear to see his newly found sister suffer any longer.
Selene remained speechless.
So this was what favoritism felt like?
