In the past decade, David was considered respectful and caring.
In terms of emotions and reason, I should also go and fulfill my filial duty.
I put aside the grievances between Patrick and me and rushed back to the Harper family overnight.
David on the sickbed was already fading away.
On the aged face, there was a fullness of worries and thoughts.
“Gracie, I am sorry, the Harper family is sorry.”
When I married Patrick, I was still young and naive.
David, who has spent half of his life in the business world, would not fail to understand the unfairness of this contract.
He cut off all other possibilities in my life and tempted me to sign that contract.
I buried my entire life of happiness in this golden cage.
I remained silent for a moment. “I don’t blame you. It was a choice I willingly made back then, and I
don’t blame anyone.
“Patrick was spoiled by me.”
“Whatever fate he may have suffered in the future, it was all his own fault. I dare not hope for you to return to his side, I only ask that you, in his time of poverty and destitution, give him a meal to eat.”
The lawyer on the side handed over a contract.
David prepared to transfer the majority of his shares and assets he held to my name.
Even, the company was entrusted to me to manage.
Left for Patrick, there was only one villa and a small amount of shares.
I chuckled and shook my head.
“Grandfather, this responsibility was too great, I couldn’t bear it.”
“More importantly, I had spent ten years of my life on Patrick, and for the remaining days, I only want to live for myself, without any further connection to him.”
David loved his grandson very much.

They all wanted to continue paving the way for him before their death.
Even if it meant sacrificing someone else’s life, they didn’t care at all.
But now, I wouldn’t fall for Patrick’s sweet words.
I would not be deceived by David’s sugar–coated bullets.
I have already thoroughly understood that the gifts of fate have long been secretly priced.
Seeing my determination, David started coughing violently,
Patrick was also feeling a bit excited.
He looked at me with red eyes, wanting to speak, but was stopped by David waving his hand.
I bowed to him and didn’t want to stay for long.
When I reached the door, I heard David’s helpless and pained reprimand.
“You gave up.”
The Harper family’s immense wealth couldn’t buy her return.
“Patrick, you were deeply wrong.”
Immediately after, a piercing alarm sound was heard.
This old man, who had devoted his whole life to worry and concern, ended his life completely in
regret.
I asked the doctor to send a wreath for David.
I completely settled the grievances between me and the Harper family.
When reaching the intersection, Patrick chased after again.
He knelt down in the bustling street and faced me.
“Gracie, Grandpa has passed away, I only have you now.”
“I already knew I was wrong, and I am willing to repent. What do I have to do for you to come back to me?”
It can be seen that this confession and apology, this time, came from the heart.
But such promises, in the past decade, I have already heard too many.

I watched as the children ran past on the street, and I watched the grandma wiping the sweat off the children. After a long silence, I slowly spoke.
“Unless… time were to turn back, and the dead were to come back to life.”
Patrick, who knew he was powerless, burst into tears, unable to utter a word.
Just like a spoiled child, he tried to get what he wanted by using tears.
I didn’t want to pay attention.
But in the midst of this sorrowful crying, a taxi was hailed without hesitation.
The car took me towards the rising sun.
Without hesitation, and without looking back.
