Chapter 14 - The Twins Reached Adulthood, and Nathan Finally Told Them the Whole Truth About Their Mother and the Woman Who Saved Their LivesThe boys were eighteen.
They knew everything.
The illness.
The poisoning.
Their mother's death.
The criminal network.
The experiments.
Me.
They understood that none of it was their fault.
Nathan told them their mother had died trying to protect them.
Jacob cried.
Jonah hugged him.
Then they hugged Nathan.
"I wish Mom could see us."
Nathan nodded.
"She would be proud."

Their family had survived.

Because they finally stopped hiding them.

I smiled.

"You did."
"Your sons did."
