Charles hung his head low in dejection.

There was nothing he could say in the face of Benedict’s statements.

No words could express his raging guilt. His thin lips trembled, and in the end, he could only say, “I’m sorry.”

Benedict scoffed, “If saying sorry is enough, why do we need the police?”

Standing beside the bed, Charles was on the verge of tears.

Upon noticing the man’s expression, Benedict pouted and said arrogantly, “I’m not that petty, actually. I know it’s been a long time, and you never wanted to hurt me. I’m telling you all this because I want you to be willing to spend money on me and keep me happy.”

Charles nodded resolutely and stared at the oceanarium renovation plan calmly. “You’re right. As long as I can make you happy, I will complete your plan for the oceanarium even if I go bankrupt. It’s what I should do.”

Benedict waved his hand. “Go about your business now, and quit bothering me.”

“All right. Take care, Benny.” Charles recollected himself and left with the plan in his hand.

Just as he walked out of the ward, he met Cedrick, who had returned from buying durian.

Cedrick noticed Charles’ reddened eyes from afar and teased, “Why do you look like you’re on the verge of tearing up? Did my son make you cry? I can’t believe you can’t even handle the words of a five-year-old. When did you become so emotionally weak?”

Instead of explaining anything, Charles folded the paper in his hand and carefully placed it into his pocket. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll resume cleaning the restroom now.”

Cedrick nodded.

After walking around Cedrick, Charles heard him say, “Now that you’re in a relationship, you should get your act together and don’t let the woman down.”
