Chapter 29 I’m Sorry, Zachary

• It was true that Thomas was an orphan. He had grown up alongside a rather crazy old man whom he used to think was his grandfather. However, as Thomas started understanding the world around him a little more, the old man told him that they weren't related to each other at all. Thomas was just a kid that the old man had picked up by the side of the road. Thomas had always taken pride in his strength, and he hated the idea of telling others about his past just to be pitied by them. So, there were only a few people who truly knew about Thomas' upbringing.
• Unfortunately, Felice was one of those people. Thomas hadn't expected Felice to expose his old wounds, especially since she had publicly claimed that Walt was just a man she was fooling around with. Chloe froze when she heard Felice's words—this was the first time Chloe had ever heard of the fact that Thomas was an orphan.
• However, Felice showed zero interest in anyone else's feelings or thoughts. She simply shoved Chloe aside before turning to leave. "Ah!" In a bout of fury, Thomas pulled out a glass bottle from his grocery bag before throwing it at Felice. The bottle hit Felice on the leg, and she let out a cry as she fell onto her knees. Thomas wasn't mad about the fact that Felice had exposed his childhood. After all, there wasn't much more she could do to hurt him after she lied to him for eight years just for the sake of his money.
