Chapter 820 - In Ls Family Home (2/2)

As soon as L set foot in front of the apartment building, her eyes became wet and her body turned limp. Her guess was correct!

She turned to London, who was staring at her with a wistful look. The man nodded and slowly wiped L's tears that suddenly dripped her cheeks.

”This ... is my parents' house ...” L whispered in a hoarse voice.

”That's right... I bought this building and renovated the unit on the ground floor, where your family used to live.” London pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket because the girl's tears flowed even harder. ”Let's go in first. It's cold out here.”

He took L with his left hand, while his right hand carried the baby basket containing Lily. Their baby just woke up and started to sulk because of the cold. Trembling, L entered the building while Marc swiftly opened the apartment door for them. After the three of them entered, the bodyguard then closed the door and took guard outside.

L walked slowly into the living room of her beautifully renovated family home. Though the apartment was restored, they still maintained its original form. She stared at the family photo displayed on the fireplace. She could see her father, her Japanese mother, and her younger brother, who was still a baby in her mother's l.a.p. L herself was smiling sweetly in her father's l.a.p.

L repeatedly rubbed her eyes with London's handkerchief, trying to refrain from crying too poignantly. She was worried that her sadness would affect the quality of b.r.e.a.s.tmilk she produced for Lily. However, she could not hold back her sobbing in front of the fireplace as she took the photo and hug it to her c.h.e.s.t.

”Father... Mother ...” the girl finally wailed.

L rarely cried since she was little. She had learned that crying would not make any changes in her life. She had forced herself to be strong and tough and dedicated all her life to finding her family's killers and getting revenge.

Her body slumped to the floor when her strength disappeared and she was sobbing uncontrollably. London quickly approached her and stroked L's hair lovingly.

He knew, maybe it had been a long time since L mourned properly for her family. And now all the pain that had acc.u.mulated for years finally came out like an overflowed river.

He let L cry until her tears dried, while steadily stroking her hair and back. When the girl's cry finally ended, L already felt calmer. She got up and sat on the floor, hugging her knee.

Her gaze circulated around the living room and she saw more family photos there. She also found some more items that she still remembered belonged to her father and mother. The furniture had been upgraded and they looked much nicer, but overall, L still remembered this apartment as her parents' apartment.

She felt sad and happy to be back in her childhood home.

”I ... want to find out who is responsible for my family's death...” L whispered as she looked at London with a pleading look. ”I know ... I told you I want to forget my revenge ... But I can't take it... that my parents and brother were killed just like that ... without trying to get them justice...”

London nodded. He put Lily's basket on the sofa then helped L sit on the sofa next to Lily.

”I know who killed your family and what was the motive behind it ...” said the man in a soft voice.

L looked at him fixedly.

”Does this have anything to do with the Swann family's inheritance?” the girl asked in a hoarse voice. She got this conjecture when she saw Danny's murderous look after he learned that L had asked for half of the inheritance.

London always knew L was a smart girl, so he was not surprised to find that his wife could guess that much.

He nodded. ”You are right.”
