Chapter 40：The Revelation of Ananyas Murderer (2/2)
”Can you tell me? Why you don't want to reveal Leon's biological father's identity?”
”I can't marry that man. He's married and has children. I don't want to destroy someone else's marriage. What will people say about me? I don't want people to call me a whore that ruin other people's family. It's like a pot calling the cattle black. I don't want what he thinks about me really happened. I am just out of luck, brother. I just want to help him at that time, I didn't expect that it was me who was trapped. I feel so dumb, I even sacrificed myself to save that man. I was wrong, brother.” Rere cried as she hugged the cushions.
Bara lets her sister use his shoulder to cry. He lets his sister venting her emotions.
”Rere, you shouldn't sacrifice yourself. After all, you still have a long way to go. Leon is still so young.”
”What can I do, brother? It happens because I am too kind. I am helping others but risking my own life. I was hunted by Ananya's killer for saving Gesa. I lost my virginity when I try saving the CEO where I was working as an intern. I'm so stupid.” Rere hits her own head. Bara held Rere's hand so she would stop hurting herself.
”Rere.” Bara then snapped at her. Rere was shocked when she saw her step-brother's anger. ”You are Aldebaran's sister. You must not be afraid and give up easily. You must be strong. Show the world that you are my sister. We are strong and invincible.”
”Brother...” Rere felt bitter when Bara snapped at her.
”You are my sister.” Bara's voice become softer and more affectionate. He tidied Rere's hair by combing it with his hand. ”I'm sorry for yelling at you. I hate to see you look so weak, Rere. You've been a strong woman all this time. You need to show your power. You have to be strong all the time. Don't let others see your weakness.”
”Can I do that?” Rere doesn't sound confident.
”You can. You are my sister.”
”Brother...”
”That man has to know that he has a son named Leon.”
”Impossible. I don't want to tell him.” Rere shook her head.
”Nothing is impossible. Think about Leon's future. You have to give him legal status.”
”But I don't want what he thinks of me to be true.”
”And, you're risking your and Leon's futures because of that?”
