Sophie played the victim to arouse Lucia's sympathy. And it worked.
Lucia finally raised her head. Her expression was so sad that Arthur's heart ached and his eyes were flooded with tears. When his tears were about to slide down, Arthur could no longer hold back. He violently freed himself from Sophie's shackles and reached out to pull Lucia closer to him, before saying to Sophie,
"Don't push her!"
Just when Sophie thought her strategy was failing, Lucia suddenly spoke up. With a weakness in her voice that no longer needed to be hidden, she said to Arthur,
"Arthur, I'm sorry ... I didn't want to."
Lucia's statement meant she was willing to talk about it.
"Lucia, sit down and talk to us slowly." Sophie sighed with relief and sat down in the chair, then asked Lucia to sit down by the bed as well. Together with her son, they listened to Lucia's explanation.
Knowing that she could no longer repress her love, Lucia raised her hand to wipe her tears and began to recount everything that had happened in Chicago, one by one.
On December 20th of the previous year, Lucia, who had arrived in Chicago on an international flight, made a video call with Arthur as soon as she got off the plane, bringing her son with her.
Esmae's husband, Chris Brown, was the owner one of the largest shipping companies in Chicago. As the largest lake port in the Great Lakes region of USA, Chicago handled 75 million tons of cargo a year, nearly half of which was owned by the Brown family.
The Brown family had been around for hundreds of years and had its own family culture and logo, so as soon as she saw the car with the family logo on it, Lucia knew it was Esmae coming to pick her up.
