Chapter 511 One Blood (Part Two) (1/2)

”No, she's not here,” Brian lied.

Mark frowned, ”But I heard mom's voice,”

”You're just dreaming,” Brian said, unconcerned. Lying was like breathing for Brian. Just when Mark was about to peek into the room, Brian picked him up to bring him over back to his room.

Molly stuck her head out as soon as she heard the sound of their footsteps vanish. She started to question why she resisted Brian earlier. After all, nothing was more important than Mark to her.

Molly kept crying still. Meanwhile, Brian put Mark to bed, fetching him a glass of milk from the kitchen. Mark was seldom up this late but when he was, all he needed was a glass of milk to fall back into sleep. Mark learned this from Molly.

Mark slowly drank his milk. When he was finished, Brian put the glass aside, wiped his mouth clean, tucked him in, and kissed him goodnight. Then he left.

When Brian was just about to step out of his room, Mark suddenly spoke.
