After South Grant asked the question, Nathan Foster looked at her for a long while before saying:
"Because I am one of the descendants of those four families."
When Nathan Foster said this, it was easy to imagine South Grant's astonishment.
She opened her mouth wide, too shocked to find her voice.
"What did you say, can you say it again?"
"I am a descendant of the four families that guarded the treasure map," Nathan Foster said again.
The desert night was extraordinarily quiet, not even the chirping of insects.
The moonlight cast a layer of mystery over this silence.
After a while, South Grant finally snapped back to reality and found her voice.
"Are you saying that the Foster Family is one of those four families?"
Nathan Foster heard her mention the Foster Family. After a moment of silence, when he looked up at South Grant, his eyes seemed to hold endless turbulent waves.
"You know I'm not a child of the Foster Family."
South Grant was stunned.
