Chapter 978
Chapter 978
Brent had specially selected a spot under a tree for Ethan so Ethan could lean against the trunk for support.
Ethan was visibly weak now.
He was like a candle with wax slowly dripping from it. When the last drop of wax was spent, that was when the light would go out.
The mountain breeze picked up. Ethan felt his mind becoming a little clearer.
He spoke slowly.
“Brent, the thing I regretted the most in my life was agreeing to Marina’s unreasonable requests and taking out my anger toward the Fordhams on Liv.
“If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have suffered so much.

Brent said, “Mr. Miller, you had your reasons. Please don’t say that.”
“Hah, reasons. In the past, I deceived everyone with that excuse, including myself. But no one would hurt others just because they had reasons.”
Ethan said softly, “When I was a child, I hated my father. I swore that if I had someone I liked in the future, I would treasure her, spoil her, and love her.
“I swore that I would give her a happy family. But in the end, I hurt her deeply while claiming that it was love.
“I repented, but twon’t turn back, and Liv won’t forgive me, either. I deserved this ending. I can’t blit on anyone else.”
People would have an unusual clarity of mind when their lives were ending. Because they couldn’t see the future, they would becextra aware of the past.
He leafed through his memories like an old man repetitively counting and wrapping his money with a handkerchief that had turned white from one too many washes.
“Alright, there’s no point in saying these things anymore. I deserved this. Liv was right when she said that we won’t meet each other ever again.
“In the end, I’m leaving without my wife or my children to seeoff.”
Brent held Ethan’s hand. The joints on Ethan’s hand were well-defined, and his hand was the slender hand of a grown man. But it trembled violently like an old man’s.
“You still have me, Mr. Miller.”
Kelvin had followed them. “And me, too.”
“Yes, I still have you brothers to seeoff. I don’t think I have any regrets anymore.”
Ethan chuckled. Now that death was upon him, he grew kinder and more sincere.
“I should have died a long tago, but Kurt gaveanother chance at life.
“Now, I should go and keep him company. I owe him an apology. In the end, I didn’t carry out my promise to him.
“I couldn’t take good care of his family. His son died even before he was born, and his precious Marina also had her legs broken.

“Now that I think about it, I’m such a useless man. I never did anything right. I didn’t keep my promise to my brother, nor did I take good care of my family.”
Brent said, “No, you’re the best boss in the whole world. You’re the hero of the nation.
“If you hadn’t risked your lifetand again to protect this country, it wouldn’t be as peaceful as it is now.
“Mr. Miller, if there’s another chance at life, I still want to work for you and protect you for life.”
Ethan gripped his hand.
“You’re such a silly man. Why can’t you make a better wish? Haven’t you had enough of this drifting and wandering?”
“No. I’ll do everything as long as I can be with you. Don’t die, Mr. Miller.
“I’m so clumsy. If you aren’t around to keepin check, I’m bound to make lots of mistakes!”
“Mr. Miller, if you die, that bastard Yale would laugh his head off. After fighting for so many years, he still won in the end. We were so close.”
“Mr. Miller, hang in there. That miraculous doctor might be back soon. You have to stay alive and give the letter to Mrs. Miller in person.”
Kelvin’s voice was getting further. Ethan had lost his senses.
In his daze, he felt like he heard someone saying, “Mr. Miller, look. The sun is rising.”
