Emma was stunned, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. She could only stare at Therius, who seemed completely unaware that he had said too much.
Emma felt a dilemma. On the one hand, she wanted to know more about Therius' family, but on the other hand, she did not want to make the situation awkward between them the next day because Therius unconsciously revealed many of his secrets.
Emma did not expect the man to have such a sad past. She thought, as the Crown Prince, Therius must have an easy life and he was spoiled by the king.
Apparently, she was wrong. In a way, actually, Therius's fate was worse than hers and Haoran's.
Even though Haoran was separated from his mother for six years, they finally managed to meet. Also, if Haoran didn't get sick and his plans could be carried out properly, he would be able to get rid of his father in a few years when he inherited Lee Industries and finally reunited with his mother.
