　Jonathan's words were enough to startle Sam.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Wait a minute!　My mother has been dead for years!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sam, please calm down. We met with Melanie today."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia, Haren, and Mizuki nodded at Liese's words.

"Liese-sama and the others?　That's a lie."

I know you don't believe me, but it's true. I've spoken to her and I'm pretty sure she's Sam's mother."

　Liese and the others told Sam about today's events.

　By chance, they met Melanie in front of Count Walker's house and learned that she was Sam's mother.

　She was supposed to be dead, but she had once tried to commit suicide but ended up failing. But the cost was that she lost her memory.

　She was rescued by her present husband, Viscount Teeling, with whom she has a daughter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her memory has only recently returned. She was ashamed of her past indiscretions, and had refused to see Sam because she felt she could not face him, but when she heard her son's story, she could no longer stand it.

"I didn't know that was possible."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Mr. Sam?　Is that all?"

　Alicia asked Sam, who was honestly surprised at her mother's situation, in a puzzled tone.

"Alicia-sama?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I thought you would be more surprised that your mother was alive. More."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I don't really feel it, I don't remember his face clearly, so I don't know how to react. I am sorry if I have offended you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no!　It's not that. It's just that, for a moment, Melanie..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia did not speak the rest of the words, but Sam somehow understood what she meant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam could tell that Alicia's attitude had been too curt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had expected her to be happy that her mother was alive and to want to see her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what Melanie and Alicia and the others talked about, but perhaps she felt sorry for my mother after seeing Sam's indifferent reaction.

(Alicia seems to be a kind lady, but I am sure Sam would have reacted the same way before. (No, aside from me, he would have been more angry or something.)

　Now we know how he attempted suicide.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's rather convincing that Yolanda would do such a thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The way her father treated her is not the way he would have treated a wife of his own volition.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I am not going to ask for common sense from the people in that family anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know Melanie had a hard time, but it was still hard for me to recognize her as my mother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The old Sam might have resented me for leaving her in that house, but the new Sam did not feel that way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rather, it is a good thing that his mother, whom he thought was dead, is still alive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Melanie, who had an unhappy marriage and attempted suicide because of her mental illness, thinks that it is good if she is happy now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She is happy to have a family, a loving husband and a daughter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She does not want to disturb their happiness if she can help it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If my mother is happy now, that's all that matters to me. If you ask her, she had a hard time, so I hope she will be happier than that. As a son, I hope so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was nothing more to say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now that he had a new family, it would not do any good for Sam to get involved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He did not want to bring discord into his mother's current family because of him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait, Sam. I'm not finished with you yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--What?　Is there something more?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(My mother being alive is quite an incident, but what more is there?　Is it something related to my mother?　(Or is it about Reinbach?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jonathan gives a difficult look to Sam, who tilts his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I noticed that not only he but also Liese and the others had a troubled look on their faces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At least, it seems to be different from the good news that my mother is alive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Melanie, you have given us a terrible truth. Sam, about your origins."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Origins?　Don't tell me you picked that up somewhere around here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Not quite, no, but close, or something like that, I'm at a loss for words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?　Did you really pick it up around there?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no, no, no, no, Sam is not of Reinbach blood."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I didn't understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jonathan, who thought the words were far-fetched, tells me again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--In other words, Karius Reinbach is not Sam's father."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Reflexively, Sam raised his hands.
