Chapter 80 Mom Took Away Their Only Sister!
Dash: "?"
Wait, are you sniffing air here?
Lawrence stared blankly at the piano, imagining what it was like when the girl was still there, murmuring: "The most amazing piano playing..."
The most amazing her.
Dash walked over, puzzled, "What are you muttering to yourself?"
Lawrence clenched his fists, his eyes determined, "Dash, I've found my..."
"Found your what?" Dash asked, confused.
"The person who makes my heart race..."
Dash slapped him, "Snap out of it!"
"Don't tell me you're infatuated again. Remember that person from the bar last time who made your heart race? Didn't that hurt you enough? You almost got tricked into organ trafficking, and you still haven't learned your lesson?"
"I'm warning you, you're a celebrity! Watch your behavior! Don't go falling for people left and right!"
"No! Dash, this time is different from before. This time, it's her piano playing that deeply moved me! What drives me crazy is her graceful fingers, the notes under her hands, her soul!"
Dash: "..."
I think you're seriously sick.
Lawrence looked at Dash with tears in his eyes, "Trust me! Dash, that's the most beautiful piano playing in the world. If you heard it, you'd definitely be amazed, you'd definitely fall to your knees before her!"
Dash slapped him again, "I think you've been brainwashed!"
He grabbed Lawrence and dragged him out, "Alright, we need to leave. If someone sees us again, we're done for. Be good, let's go back."
Lawrence looked reluctantly in the direction of the piano, his fingers grasping randomly in the air.
"No, Dash!"
"Let me go, I need to find my piano girl..."
Lawrence was ruthlessly dragged into the car.
But his heart didn't get in the car.
His mind was uncontrollably filled with thoughts of his piano girl.
Lawrence pulled out his phone, opened a group chat, and his fingers rapidly typed out a message.
Lawrence: @everyone, offering big money to help me find a girl!
Third Brother: What girl?
Lawrence: I met a girl playing piano at the recording studio! I've fallen for her!
Second Brother: You've fallen for someone again? Your love is really cheap.
Lawrence: No no no, this time is different. After meeting her, I can't think of any other woman's face, only hers. When she smiles, she's so charming, and a little bit cute, it just hit my heart.
Lawrence: Most importantly, her piano playing! Since Mom left home, I haven't heard such moving piano music. In that moment, it was like going back to childhood, back to Mom's piano room, back to when Mom was still around...
Third Brother: You're talking about a woman just fine, why are you getting all emotional? Don't mention Mom, when you do, I'm going to cry again.
Looking at the message, Lawrence's eyes couldn't help but become moist too.
There were four brothers in total, all motherless children.
From a very young age, only their father was there to accompany them growing up.
As for where their mother went...
They didn't know!
However, that wasn't even the main issue.
The main issue was that their little sister was also missing!
Speaking of which, this was a heartbreaking story.
Their mother was none other than Serenity Powell, who held the title of Emerald City's number one beauty.
In Lawrence's eyes, Serenity was omnipotent. She could play piano and paint, compose poetry, make the world's most unique desserts, drive the coolest race car to take them for rides, and even her fighting stance was so cool.
The four brothers once had the most perfect mother in the world.
And seventeen years ago, they also had the world's most adorable little sister.
Seventeen years ago, Serenity got pregnant, and the doctor said it was a girl.
That would be the first girl in their family!
So the whole family joyfully awaited the sister's birth.
The brothers surrounded Serenity every day, talking to their sister in the belly.
Finally, their sister was about to be born.
But on the very night their sister was born, Serenity ran away with her!
The four brothers didn't even get to see their sister once before receiving the devastating news that Serenity and their sister had disappeared together.
Three-year-old Lawrence cried right then and there.
At the time, no one knew why Serenity would leave with their sister.
Even their father Wesley Parker didn't know.
The couple had always had a good relationship. Before leaving home, Serenity hadn't shown any unusual behavior except being a bit superstitious, but very suddenly, Serenity disappeared.
She left a letter.
According to Wesley, what Serenity expressed in the letter was that she wasn't in danger, hadn't been kidnapped, but planned to go live at a temple.
All five family members were shocked.
Thinking back to how Serenity had gone to the temple to pray multiple times before leaving home, even staying at the temple for long periods, sometimes ten days to half a month without coming home, and how her words had started becoming strange, everything seemed to make sense.
Wesley panicked immediately and sent people to search for Serenity at temples large and small across the country.
Seventeen years have passed in a flash.
Until now, the family still hasn't found Serenity.
Wesley believed the main reason might be that someone was helping to hide Serenity's whereabouts.
Before marrying Wesley, Serenity had always lived abroad, and she was a descendant of the local royal family with a very powerful family background. Even Wesley wasn't very clear about Serenity's family matters.
Wesley had always known Serenity's identity wasn't simple, but he never expected she could escape for seventeen years without him finding even a trace.
Wesley also suspected Serenity might have gone abroad and made inquiries there, but still found no news of Serenity.
What they couldn't understand most was why Serenity would take away their only sister when she left home!
This was adding pain to pain!
According to what Serenity said in the letter, she took their sister because she couldn't bear to part with her and wanted to raise her by her side. As for the four brothers, she could only ask Wesley to raise them himself.
So, she couldn't bear to part with their sister, but could bear to part with them.
The four brothers burst into tears again.
Lawrence hugged his phone, tears streaming down his face.
A child without a mother is like grass.
A brother without a sister has no one to rely on.
Second Brother: So, according to your description, she's a girl who plays piano really well?
Lawrence: Yes!
Third Brother: What kind of piano playing is it exactly? That you'd compare it to Mom's.
You have to understand, Serenity was a world-renowned piano master.
