Let Me Stay The Night

Timothy was overwhelmed with guilt. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think about that at that time.”

The first thought that popped into his mind when he woke up was not to see Christina, as he was consumed by an overpowering compulsion to go and find Nigel.

He reached out to his loyal aide, Jasper, who informed him that Nigel was incarcerated. With the address provided by Jasper, he made the decision to visit Nigel.

“It’s windy outside, so get in the car first.” Nathaniel gestured to Sebastian to assist Timothy in getting into the car while he focused on coaxing Christina back into the vehicle.

After Christina and Timothy got into the car, the two unexpectedly fell into silence.

The father and daughter made their way back to the hospital ward without exchanging any words.

The attending doctor performed a thorough examination on Timothy and confirmed that his body was in good condition. Christina felt a wave of relief wash over her upon hearing the news.

Sebastian found a pretext to excuse himself from the ward, leaving Christina, Nathaniel, and Timothy alone in the room.

Christina poured Timothy a cup of warm water. After taking a sip, he cradled it delicately in his hands, refusing to let it go.

Timothy had long recognized Nathaniel as an outstanding son–in–law. He openly admitted, “I didn’t go to see Nigel to seek any confirmation. I just wanted to personally see what he looks like now, as a prisoner, and what kind of life he’s living.”

He reflected on the wasted years of his youth and admitted that it was a lifelong regret for him. The dismal fate of Nigel, no matter how tragic, could never make up for everything he had lost.

After enduring years of Nigel’s relentless mockery and attacks. Timothy was consumed by an overwhelming desire to make him experience the bitterness of ridicule and suppression.

Throughout their lives, Nigel had always sought to compete with Timothy, yet he consistently fell short. The intricate schemes Nigel had devised over a significant portion of his life not only ensnared himself but also eventually entangled his family in the web of consequences.
