His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 508 His Brother

　　"You have nothing to be afraid of me. I'll be away again soon. Please watch my wife and children while I am dealing with the Chronomancer," Vincent added. 

　　"Chronomancer?" The couple spoke at once.

　　Levi and Madison look at each other; they both have the same suspicion that Vincent has regained his past life memories.

　　On the other hand, Madison had a slight fear that the Dark Shaman was only using Vincent's memories. That is why he has all this knowledge. 

　　"Vincent, tell us. Do you remember your past life memories now?" Levi also had doubts in his heart, and it concerned him.

　　Vincent replied, "Yes."

　　Madison and Levi once again shared a glance. If Vincent remembered his past life memories, then if he was not the dark shaman or the Chronomancer, Emperor Xing is the person they were speaking to now!

　　"If you don't mind, could you tell us when exactly did you regain your past life memories?" Madison inquired further to remove the doubts in her heart.

　　Levi echoed, "That's right, Vincent. Can you enlighten us about this Chronomancer as well? We only know he is a dark shaman. And he could possess someone's body and claim it as his new identity." 

　　Vincent looked at the couple with a thin smile on his lips. He uttered, "I could sense that you have doubts about my appearance. I understand as I know very well what that man could do. So I assure you he did not possess me. I remembered five years ago when I got into an accident. Someone tried to take my soul. I just now remembered that it was him whom I saw back then. Probably he did something to erase my memory during that incident that he wanted to seal my soul and possess my body." 

　　"After that accident, you went to Mainland City for treatment. Right?" Madison asked Vincent. "Do you remember Hailee visited the facility to donate a large amount?"

　　Vincent nodded. "I seemed to remember that a billionaire heiress was in the facility to celebrate her birthday. But I paid less attention because I focused on recuperating my body, taking my rehabilitation therapy seriously, as I long to walk again." 

　　Silence passed for a brief moment. It was Levi who spoke, apologizing. 

　　"Regarding that year, Vincent. After Hailee saw you, something happened, and we discovered a significant event in the future that you and Hailee were related to. We owe an explanation, and we must apologize to you and Hailee." 

　　"That's right." Madison chimed. "Hailee had a crush on you the first time she saw you. However, we must meddle in between because the future will become chaotic. We prayed Hailee would understand what we've done, especially to her." 

　　"That man who is responsible for everything, right?" Vincent had already guessed.

　　Levi nodded and replied, "Yes, Vincent."

　　"Then you don't have to apologize. I regard that you just did the right thing for a better future. I'm sure Hailee would understand this as well. To think back on the past few years' events. What if that man successfully possessed my body, pretended to be me, and approached Hailee? I could not imagine the life she would have with him. Hailee will definitely suffer, as he is a dangerous and cruel man."

　　The couple couldn't agree more. Vincent is correct in what he believes about that man. He is indeed ruthless.

　　"Hailee loves you so much, Vincent. She will do everything for you, even if she has to sacrifice and suffer. That man is well aware of this. The other day, he attempted to take hold of Hailee's soul. Gladly, Madison stopped him. It was why we kept watching Hailee and the babies twenty-four hours a day."

　　Vincent darkened his face upon hearing Levi share what happened during the time of his absence. He sneered in his heart, 'I'm going to settle a score with him!' 

　　"It looks like he plans to hold captive Hailee's soul," Vincent uttered under his breath. His gaze narrowed and an indifferent aura emitted from his body. "I will make him pay huge soon."

　　"That man needs to be stopped," Levi sounded. 

　　"I will stop him," Vincent assured. 

　　Levi had just remembered that Vincent should not meet that man. "Vincent, maybe it is not best to confront him by yourself. Why don't you allow us to handle him?" 

　　"It's alright. I gathered significant information about him in my past life. I know how to fight him." 

　　"Then, we will put our faith in you." Seeing how determined he was, Levi and Madison did not protest. 

　　"By the way, allow me to express my gratitude once again. Thank you for taking care of my family. I would love to hear the detailed story of what you've discovered. I think it will help me deal with my brother and the man he called master, the Chronomancer."

　　"Your brother?" The couple is both confused and shocked. They looked at each other and then shifted back to Vincent. Levi kept querying Vincent, as curiosity got him too good.

　　"Aren't Liam, who's Hailee's brother in the past life and not yours?" he asked.

　　"Liam or General Jiang is only a brother-in-arm. But I truly think of him as a real brother as we grew up together and went to the battlefield, watching each other's back. The brother I am talking about is Samuel Miller." Vincent replied calmly.

　　This new information shocked the couple. 

　　"Samuel Miller?" Levi glanced at Madison. Suddenly, a bell rang on top of his head. "Samuel is Prince Xing Ling? The frail prince who poisoned Emperor Xing Long?"

　　"Yes. He is my dear older brother." 

　　Madison and Levi could not believe it. Now they connect all the dots of what probably had happened in the past.

　　The three of them have now arrived outside Hailee's VIP ward. Before Vincent went inside, he turned around and faced the couple.

　　"After I see my children, I want to hear everything that has happened these passing years. I will also share everything that I know about our real enemy." 

　　"Sure, Vincent. We would love to tell you everything we know." Madison concurs. "We also love to hear about this Chronomancer."

　　"We need to be prepared because he is powerful to defeat. By the way, you've probably heard the initial reports about the assassination. I was badly wounded, but gladly, Ed and Zed rescued me immediately as they monitored our surroundings the entire time in the shadows. I was in a coma for many days, so I think it was the time I regained my past life memories. I thought I was dying as those memories suddenly filled my head." 

　　He added, "The submarine had complete medical tools, including medicines. The paramedic treated me on board with the help of the twins. They actually both graduated in medicine and have done several operations in the past, so I recovered fast."

　　"I remembered now. Derek, who installed the Royal Sub sickbay with advanced medical tools and equipment and even stores with miraculous medicine," explained Levi.

　　"It was really great. I'm grateful to Hailee's knights for never abandoning me." 

　　"The knights knew how important you were to their empress. We all knew very well that you are Hailee's happiness," Madison's sincere remarks.

　　"I'm glad to hear that. Well, then… I have to go in."

　　Vincent held the handle of the ward door and pushed it open. He had longer steps to approach the room where Hailee was resting.

　　After Doctor Derek performed the surgery on Hailee, she no longer had to stay in the ICU. James sent him a report that her wound from the CS had disappeared and wholly healed. However, Hailee has not yet regained consciousness for an unknown reason. 

　　"Wifey…" Vincent immediately clasped Hailee's hand and planted kisses on the back of her palm and then on her forehead. "I'm back. And as I promised you, I came home in one piece, my Empress."
