Francis Larson's Secret

"Dad, have you thought it through? You'll lead a difficult life in the future if you do that."

"I know, but my life has never been easy. This decision is good for everyone—for you and Finn. We can't just live for ourselves. Do you know how much Finn has suffered?"

For some reason, Yvette Larson couldn't help but feel that her father was behaving differently today. 'He's not as useless as he usually is. He's never been domineering, but he seems like a new person today. It even seems like he was only putting on an act in the past.'

"Dad, can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"Finn had his own reasons to keep his identity a secret for the past three years, and even I knew nothing about it. Do you think some people would hide their identities for decades, even from their wife and children?"

"Are you talking about me?"
