An Unexpected Revelation
As they talked, Daniel mentioned something that caught Jack off guard. “There’s one thing my mother always said that never made sense to me,” Daniel began. “She said that our father had been involved in something dangerous—something that made it impossible for him to stay with us. I never understood what she meant by that, but she was always afraid someone might come looking for him.” Jack’s pulse quickened. Could this be the reason for his father’s secrecy?
A Trail of Questions
Jack’s mind raced as he considered the possibilities. What could their father have been involved in that would force him to leave behind the woman he loved and his unborn child? Was it some kind of debt? A dangerous connection from his past? The more Jack thought about it, the more he realized how little he truly knew about his father’s life before he met Jack’s mother. There were too many questions and not enough answers.
