The Return of the War Legate



Nyssa looked at him and asked, "Terry Jade, Do you really not know who I am?"

Startled once more, Terry turned around to look at Nyssa, whose eyes seemed to have turned red as she struggled to hold back her tears.

At that moment, Terry stood up and took a closer look at Nyssa. He did feel that she was familiar, yet he was unable to recall who she was.

"You... You look very much like someone I know," Terry said.

Nyssa wiped her tears and asked, "Go on. Who do I look like?"

"You look like my sister. My biological older sister. She disappeared six years ago, and I haven't seen her since. You look a lot like her, but different at the same time, it's strange..." Nyssa took a deep breath when she heard this. After that, she pulled her long hair back, revealing her forehead. After that, she tied her hair into a ponytail with a hairband.

"Look again and see if you can recognize me now."

Terry did as he was told, but this time, his entire body trembled as he was stunned.

Seeming to be in disbelief, his eyes were in a daze as he took a few steps back. Tears began to roll down his face as he yelled, "You're my sister!"

Nyssa closed her eyes and opened up her arms, which Terry ran toward with tears on his face. After throwing himself into Nyssa's arms, the siblings were finally reunited.

"Nyssa! Nyssa!" Terry called out continuously as tears drenched his entire face.

Nyssa held her little brother in her arms and took a deep breath. "You finally recognized me ... I've missed you so, so much."

Terry's mouth was wide open. He never dreamt that he would reunite with his sister at Wellsborough High. Nyssa had appeared in his dreams countless times, even to the point where he had lost all hope of finding her.

He had wondered if he would ever see her again.

Terry curled up into a ball in a corner on the day she disappeared, enveloped with fear as he felt extremely helpless. Now, after six years, he was finally reunited with her.

His entire body trembled and tears rolled down his cheeks. He opened his mouth and held on to Nyssa, crying to his heart's content.

Suddenly, he pushed her away and wiped his tears. "Why... Why did you abandon me six years ago? Why would you leave me all alone? Mother and Father died, and you left me... Do you have any idea what my life has been like this whole time?"

Faced with Terry's questions, Nyssa fought hard to hold her tears back as she said in a heavy

tone, "I'm sorry... It's my fault for not taking care of you."

"You're sorry?" Terry cried, "Do you think you can get away with abandoning me with a mere apology? Older siblings are supposed to act as parents when their parents are away. You were supposed to be the one I depended on after our parents died. I almost died after you left!"

Nyssa took a deep breath. "I'm really sorry, but I'm going to make it up to you now. I'm so, so sorry..."

Terry shook his head. "I've looked for you all these years, but I failed. I'd hoped every day you'd find me, but it took you six whole years... Why?! Why would you abandon me?!" Terry began to yell after losing control of his emotions halfway through his sentence.

"I didn't mean to abandon you..." Nyssa cried, "I'm really sorry. Please forgive me!" "You didn't mean to abandon me?!" Terry shook his head. "No, you did it on purpose. You left without saying anything because you saw me as a burden, didn't you? Otherwise, why couldn't the police find you after I lodged a report?"

He then pointed toward the door and continued, "Get out... I don't want to see you ever again. Just go..."Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
