The smile on Huo Jinyan's face disappeared when he heard his daughter's question. He went quiet for a while before he replied. "Yulin was kidnapped when he was 12 years old."
He ended up like this after the abduction.
"A kidnapping?" Huo Yao was stunned.
Even though she had suspected it previously, she did not think it really happened.
"Uh huh. We didn't live here back then. Your third older brother was kidnapped for some reason. By the time we found him… he was half dead."
At 12, he was held captive for three days, and was tortured in captivity.
Huo Yulin was just a child, so every second of the time spent with his abductors was etched into his soul and was pure torture even till date.
Even though he was saved, the bright lively child was forever lost.
Huo Jinyan's voice turned deep and even trembled slightly. However, he did not share the finer details.
