Chapter 441 A Man Who Told A Story (1/2)

”A long time ago, there was a father. One day, he went to visit the beach with his daughter. The sea was calm that day, and everything went quite smoothly, just as he had hoped. No one could foresee that there would be an accident. The father came out from the cabin to see his daughter. She was playing in the water, enjoying the breeze that blew through her hair. She was singing songs and having a great time. The father didn't want to disturb her, so he didn't ask her to go back to the deck.

However, the next moment, he turned around, as he heard a big frightening sound. When he turned around again to see what had happened, his daughter was already gone.

The father was a powerful man, and he had a strong connection with his daughter. He did whatever he could and urged people to rescue her. He asked people to help him catch all the fish that could possibly eat a human. He wanted to find his daughter desperately, even if it was just her body. He didn't want his last memory of her to be drowning in the sea.”

Rachel was anxious and worried about the little girl. ”Then? What happened next? Did the father find his daughter?”

”Yes, he did. The father had killed a lot of big fish and searched various areas around the beach that she disappeared on. Finally, he found his daughter in a shark's belly.” Hiram said and sighed.

Hiram used to feel pity in his heart when he heard the story in the past.

Rachel was so sad. She felt like she couldn't breathe.

”Is the father you're talking about Marcus?”

”Yes. He is five years older than me. He can be recognized as my senior. He has remained single since his daughter's passing. He didn't marry another woman after that.” Hiram said slowly.

Rachel nodded her head. She didn't expect that Marcus had such a legendary, yet traumatic experience. However, since Hiram regarded Marcus as his senior, Rachel was sure that Marcus was a powerful man and wasn't one to be underestimated.

”What about his wife at the time?” Rachel asked.

Hiram said after a pause,”Well… I don't know. Apparently, Marcus and his wife only remained married out of convenience. They divorced because they had incompatible personalities. He was the one who won his daughter's custody.”

”What a hard life!” Rachel sighed. Suddenly something occurred to her. She then said,”Wait, then why did you want me to receive this drawing? Shouldn't we return it?”

As long as she thought about the idea that this drawing might be about Marcus' daughter, Rachel felt that it was too much for her to look at.

Hiram burst into laughter. ”You've already taken the drawing. There is no way for you to give it back now. Besides, didn't you hear what he said? He h
