hand, but the younger man avoided him. Yoel lamented, “Arthur, I must have been possessed in the past. Your mother died in the car accident and I was seriously injured. As a last resort, I left you behind because I thought you could live a good life with the Winthrops. I didn’t think—”“You didn’t think I would fall apart with the Winthrops? And you came back because you can’t accept how things have turned out, right?”An unhesitant Arthur exposed Yoel when he guessed what the man was about to say.Yoel was slightly stunned as he nodded. “Arthur, our car accident back then was not caused by Mr. Winthrop. It was because I was running away from my debts. Mr. Winthrop had no choice but to drive and follow us…” Yoel remembered that the accident happened in the afternoon. Due to his owing a huge sum of money, he had no choice but to abscond with his family in a fit of desperation. Unexpectedly, he met Theodore on the road.Left with no other way, he drove away quickly. However, he forgot that this section of the road was a high-risk section and he hit a stone at the side. As a result, he was seriously injured and fell into a coma while his wife died on the spot. The only person who came out of the accident unscathed was the child his wife tightly protected in her arms.Just thinking about this made Yoel feel sorry for both Arthur and Theodore.“So what? That still makes him the one who pushed you and my mother to death.”“Arthur!” Yoel’s voice immediately turned stern when he heard those words. “You must be grateful. Theodore has raised you for so many years. Even giving you a bite of food is benevolent of him. He even raised you so well. How can you be so heartless?!”Arthur sneered at that. “Do you think I will forgive them just because of what you said? How ridiculous. I don’t hate them only because they killed you and my mother. I have been wronged since I was a child. I will never forget what I lost. I will have everything that is rightfully mine!”That put a frown on Elspeth’s face. “Wronged? What do you mean?”Arthur realized that he had said too much. His eyes were slightly red, but he still calmed down. “No matter what you say, I won’t forgive the Winthrops.”He glanced back at Yoel with hatred and disappointment in his eyes. “And you… I will never, ever forgive you!”After finishing speaking, he slammed the door and left.Yoel collapsed to the ground all of a sudden. “It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault that things have turned out this way…”Elspeth quickly helped him up when she saw this.“Mr. Blue, don’t think too much about it. I told you that Arthur’s thoughts have been somewhat distorted since he was a child. Understandably, you can’t persuade him.”Yoel let out a deep sigh. “I’ll talk to him again. I’m his biological father, after all. I’m sure he will listen to me, even if it’s only a little.”After speaking, he also went out, leaving only Elspeth and Callum to look at each other with exhaustion in their gazes.“Callum, why do you think Arthur turned out this way?”Callum’s voice was as calm as a lake. “Comparison is unavoidable in a wealthy family like the Winthrops. I was also like this when I was a child.”She immediately became interested when she heard his words. “You mean… you felt sad because you lost to someone else when you were younger?”He began to
