"If you don't find him, keep looking. If you find him, you have to protect him all the time."

Cyril always remembered what his mother said.

"My good boy, don't regret it for the rest of your life like Mom and Dad."

When the woman said this, her eyes flickered, and there was a deep and unspeakable emotion inside.

That's when Cyril learned of those old things.

Cyril's father, Miles, has a clone brother, which was applied by Cyril's grandparents. Their older generation, with traditional thinking, hoped to clone one to extend their son's life, but Miles and himself The parents thought differently, regarded the clone as their own younger brother, and insisted that he go to school with them.Cyril's mother became a partner with Miles' clone brother when he was studying at the military university, and he is also a good friend with Miles.all is well.

Until one day, she discovered that her lover hadn't come to school, she had been waiting, until the afternoon, he still hadn't come, she felt uneasy.Later received a summons from the hospital that Miles had a car accident.She felt that ominous premonition strangling her throat.

When she rushed to the ward, she saw only one hospital bed covered with a medical cloth, and another bed with a person lying on it. The sutures on his neck already explained everything. A dead man.When the man saw her, his eyes that were already red from crying were even redder, tears rolled out uncontrollably, and his voice was hoarse, it was because of crying, and also because of the weakness after the operation.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Lin..." The man's hands were clenched tightly, his nails almost sunk in his flesh, "It was my parents' decision, I'm sorry... I should have been the one to die, I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you guys."

She had never seen this person cry, let alone such a bitter cry.The man struggled suddenly and almost pulled off the infusion needle, she held him down, her eyes were already red, "Okay, okay, it's for him."

"If it were him, you would be willing to die for him..." She looked at him with a nearly broken expression, "He won't do the operation voluntarily, and he won't blame you."

"If that's the case, I don't have to blame you."

But having said that, in the next two months, Xu Lin didn't say a word to him, and avoided seeing him whenever possible.

But suddenly one day, she found him.

"let's be together."

When she said that, his mind was almost blank, and he was stunned for a while, "Why?"

"Because I want to give birth to a child with his blood flowing, and it has always been like this from before to now."

The woman smiled, she was very beautiful, a soft kind of beauty, but at this moment he understood her almost crazy persistence.

Miles will never forget this sentence for the rest of her life. She still blames him. It is impossible to say no to blame. Forget it, if she can, she can spend the rest of her life with her. I have been learning from that person to atone for my sin.

"Okay," he heard himself say.

They got married after graduating from university. During this period, they never had a date or had a meal together. The two people who were familiar with each other before became worse than strangers. The connection between them seemed to be only that. "Let's be together." Miles insisted on sending her some food and daily necessities one after another, and there were many gifts during the festival, but he dared not face her, let alone propose a date or have a meal With this kind of invitation, he was afraid that he would take him for that person, or for Miles who killed that person.He knew he was supposed to do this, but he panicked.

Or rather, he himself is torn between being himself and pretending to be that person.

On the first night after their marriage, the lights in the room were turned off, and he held her in the darkness.

"What he usually does."

She heard his voice hoarse, just like the "I'm sorry" he said after crying hoarsely in the ward that day.He hugged her from behind and buried his face on her shoulder. She knew that he was different from that person, that person was confident and sunny, and it was even more impossible for him to be as cautious or even trembling on thin ice in this kind of matter.

"Do as you please."

"You can't be him."

Her voice dropped to a sigh, and she felt a kind of sad shame.She, because of her own selfish desires, made her former friend and brother pay for her life in a gesture of atonement.He also lost his brother, who is not a victim.

Later they had a child.When Cyril was born, she saw Miles' unconcealed joy for the first time after the accident. It seemed that only at this time did this man let go of the burden of the past, and was as happy and uncontrollable as every new father.After that, he took on the responsibility of a husband and a father, cared for his wife and children, poured all his love into this family, and tried his best to build a warm home for his wife and children.Their relationship has gradually returned to normal from deformity, except that the incident was a dark thorn.Everything is fine.

It wasn't until Cyril was 12 years old that Xu Lin and Miles learned that Miles' parents had applied for a clone for Cyril behind their backs. That child had been in the cultivation center and was now seven years old. They were not informed when it was time to pick up the child, but when she wanted to bring the child back as soon as possible, she learned that the child had cut out the biomarker on his wrist and escaped from the cultivation center.They were heartbroken and anxious, but the child could not be found.

"Cyril, you have to swear to your mother to protect him no matter what."

That's what my mother told me at the time.

Cyril knelt on one knee and rested his forehead on the back of his mother's hand, which was a gesture of swearing.

"I swear."

Now, the child fell asleep in his arms, wrapped in the quilt and curled up.When he opened his eyes, his gaze was as sharp as a monster in the forest. There was always a dangerous aura about him that made Cyril feel uneasy, but at the moment he fell asleep with his eyes closed, and sometimes he wrinkled his nose as if he was restless in sleep, like A milk cat, he said that the child was pulled into his arms and hugged a little tighter, and the little guy was also obedient.

That's fine.

The author has something to say:

Ryan who looks like a milk cat is probably a fake Ryan, little brother, you have an illusion, right?
