Even Fabian Holmes himself could hardly accept it, so how could Theodore Holmes possibly accept it? He immediately raised doubts, pointing out the loopholes in the story. "Since you are not familiar with those two people, how would you know they died a natural death?"
"Dad! Could you please not lie to me like you did when I was a kid? I'm an adult now, and I can tell the difference between good and bad news." He said a lot of things in succession, and towards the end, his emotions became agitated.
He suddenly turned sideways and sat down, facing the other two people head-on.
"From childhood to now, we have always told you the truth and never lied to you." The truth is too hurtful, and there's no way Fabian Holmes could tell the truth. Since he had already started lying in childhood, he would continue to lie to him for a lifetime, choosing deception over hurting him.
