Summer Fairmont knew she had no European bloodline; it was obvious to the naked eye.
But she didn't know she had a brother, nor did she remember having a mother in Scotland.
Perhaps out of self-protection, Summer Fairmont's memory began after she turned four.
This way, she didn't need to remember that she once banged on a door for three hours next to a corpse until she fainted.
Hieronymus had always been a reclusive "lonely old man," and after Quinn Fairmont's death, he took seclusion to the extreme.
Because everyone on Islay said Hieronymus married Quinn Fairmont, and due to the different surnames, even Summer herself thought her adoptive father Hieronymus was her stepfather.
Summer Fairmont harbored resistance against Hieronymus due to his extreme coldness towards her.
Even if he was a stepfather, even without blood ties, there was still a duty of care.
The extreme coldness, ignoring her completely, was absolutely not what someone with "father" in their title should do.
