Chapter 192 Upon hearing the name Godard .
Paisleys brow twiched A man named Godard from Montera , with a villa here and all those people outside Could Max be from the prestigious Godard family of Blearerat Seeing the confusion in Paisleys eyes , Max nodded .
Yes , Im from that Godard family Paisley nodded , but she didnt let her surprise show .
She had seen her fair share of people from powerful families .
While the Vanderbilt family didnt have the long history of the Godard family , they were still considered a top family .
The only difference was that during Dominicks generation , the family had fewer heirs .
As for the Godard family .
Paisley didnt know much about them .
She rarely interacted with people from Montera , so her knowledge of the Godard family was limited .
Since youre from the Godard family of Montera , what brings you to Harrowfell ! Paisley casually asked .
After speaking , she realized she had asked too much .
Of course , if you dont want to share , thats fine .
I was just asking .
Max smiled warmly .
Theres nothing I cant say .
I came to Harrowfell to find someone .
Hmm .
Paisley nodded , not pressing any further .
She wasnt really interested in who he was looking for .
She had only asked out of curiosity .
Seeing that Paisley didnt ask any further , Max decided to continue on his own , Tm looking for my sister .
Oh , Paisley responded , still not particularly interested .
Noticing that she didnt seem to care much , Max felt somewhat defeated .
He continued , Im not the biological child of the Godard family .
I was adopted by my father .
You were adopted too ! Paisley was surprised Seeing that Paisley seemed a little more curious , Max continued , Yes , adopted .
The person Im looking for is my fathers biological daughter .
My father and mother met here in Harrowfell and secretly married , But later , due to some twists of fate , they separated .
After my father returned to Montera , he lost his memory and forgot about my mother .
By the time he remembered , my mother had passed away , and their daughter was missing .
My father and I have traveled back and forth between Montera and Harrowfell , searching .
But we havent found her .
Maxs face clouded with worry as he thought about his father .
Even though my father has forgotten about my mother , he never remarried and has always been alone .
When the elders of the Godard family pressured him to either marry or leave an heir , he decided to adopt me .
All these years , he has never given up on searching for my sister .
Its become his lifelong regret .
Paisley listened quietly as Max spoke about his adoptive father .
Inside , her emotions were anything but calm .
In comparison , their fathers were so discrens .
Maxs father , though he never even met his daughter , never gave up searching for her .
Meanwhile , Paisleys father had hurt her again and again , leaving her utterly scarred.
Not all men were terrible .
She had simply been unlucky , having only encountered the worst of them so far .
Max noticed a faint sorrow in Paisleys eyes and asked , Am I talking too much ? He found it amusing he wasnt usually a talkative person .
But Paisleys initial lack of interest in his words had provoked a determination in him to keep talking , saying more than he normally would Ultimately , though , these stories had little to do with her .
Paisley shook her head , offering a faint smile .
Not at all .
Im just happy for your sister .
Her father and brother never gave up on her .
Unlike herself she had always been the one left behind .

Taking a deep breath , Paisley stood and walked to the window , stretching her body , which felt exhausted after the acupuncture session .
In truth , she was merely trying to mask the growing sadness in her eyes After all , who wouldnt want to be someone so loved by her family ! Max watched her graceful figure by the window , as though her silhouette revealed the hidden sorrow in her heart .
His chest tightened unexpectedly .
Unconsciously , he placed his hand over his heart , surprised by the peculiar sensation .
Before long , Leo returned with the medicine.
Paisley removed Maxs acupuncture needles and gave him some instructions before preparing to leave .
As before , Max was able to walk normally immediately after the procedure .
He personally escorted Paisley to the villas entrance , ready to walk her out , but she stopped him .
Thats enough .
The rain hasnt stopped yet , and your leg just underwent treatment .
Its better for you to stay in and rest .
Max nodded obediently .
He was a patient who always followed his doctors advice .
Turning to Leo , h he said , Take Paisley home .
No need Paisley replied .
Its not far.
Without waiting for Leo to fetch an umbrella , she stepped into the rain and quickly ran toward her house .
Max stood there , staring blankly at her figure disappearing into the rain .
Beautiful , isnt she ? Leos teasing voice came from behind him .
Max snapped out of it and turned to glare coldly at Leo .
Leo quickly covered his mouth , muttering , Yeah , I know , I talk too much .
The rain poured all night and only stopped by the following morning .
Dragging ber tired body , Emery arrived at her shop .
The moment she stepped inside , she noticed something was off with her staff .
Whats going Before anyone could answer , her eyes fell on the unexpected visitor seated in the center of her shop .
Dominick ! You scumbag ! Who invited you here ? Emerys reaction was immediate and fierce , like a wildcat ready to fight .
