Chapter 26 He looked just like Julian at twenty-three. Duncan pondered for a moment, and suddenly understood everything. Julian led him all the way to the study, locked the door, and questioned him with a stern face: "You're not the eight-year-old Duncan, are you? Who are you?" Seeing that Julian couldn't even recognize him now, Duncan gave a self- mocking smile. "Julian, I am Duncan, but I'm the Duncan who died by suicide at twenty- eight." "I've been reborn, you've been reborn too, who else has been reborn? Could it ho that only that fool Rosalie hasn't come back?" After asking this question, he felt a bit sad for the Rosalie of their previous life. If everyone else had been reborn, but she alone suffered so much and wasn't given the chance, then what was the point of his own rebirth? Before he could continue wallowing in self-pity, Julian spoke first: "Everyone has been reborn-me, Angela, Conrad, Paige, our parents, and of course Rosalie. You are the last one to come back." "How is that possible? You're lying to me. The way she acted just now, she was completely like a seven-year-old child." Duncan frowned and retorted. Chapter Julian gave a faint smile and ruffled his hair. "I'm not lying. We all came back early, even before Rosalie was born. After sharing all the information we knew, we decided that in this life, we would make it up to Rosalie." "However, we had the same worries as you. We were afraid Rosalie hadn't been reborn, afraid that the Rosalie from our previous life suffered all her life and got nothing in return." At this point, Julian felt a pang of heartache. Seeing how tense Duncan was, he smiled again and continued: "But fortunately, Rosalie was reborn at birth. However, she was in too. much pain. The trauma from her previous life damaged her psyche so much that her desire to live was extremely weak." "To help her live healthily and happily, we had someone hypnotize her, so she could temporarily forget all the pain and just enjoy our love for her. When she is strong enough to face reality, she will remember everything on her own." "Now that you're back, we'll take care of Rosalie together and treat her well. Nothing from the previous life is allowed to happen again." Julian pinched Duncan's cheek in warning and continued to threaten him. "If you ever bully Rosalie again, I'll be the first one to deal with you!" "But if one day Angela and I die again in an accident, don't take it out on innocent people. The moment Angela and I died in the last life, we had no regrets or resentment. We were willing. Do you understand?" "Got it. I won't do anything stupid again." Duncan nodded with a dark face and brushed Julian's hand away. Chapter 26 Then he opened the door and ran out, going back to play with Rosalie. He couldn't understand it-how could Julian become so mean after just one rebirth? He used to be so gentle. But none of that mattered anymore. As long as all of them could be together in this life and never be separated again, that was enough. Duncan knocked on the door of the Taylor's residence, nodded to Conrad, Paige, and Angela, and then went to keep Rosalie company.
