Felix's body went rigid with the onslaught of guilt. He suddenly felt that the paper in his hand was no longer interesting. All he could do was remain silent with his head bowed.Mr. Zay took a deep breath, trying to regulate his emotions before finally saying, "I know how you feel when you find out your friend is having a bad time. I don't blame you. But, Felix, you should know that no parent wants to part with their child. Unless... they have to, or they don't want to in the first place. Now, everything has been proven. Even if I have to take the umpteenth blow of pain, I don't mind. At least I've figured it out, and you won't resent me either.""Mr. Zay." Felix spontaneously raised his head and looked at Mr. Zay with red eyes full of guilt. "I... I-""It's okay, I don't blame you. You did that because you felt angry on behalf of your friend. It's okay," Mr. Zay interrupted quickly.However, this response only made Felix feel even more guilty. Regretfully, he said, "I apologize. I s
Felix ate his breakfast pensively. His gaze was fixed on his food, but his mind was already wandering. Yesterday, the car belonging to the perpetrator who smashed his window was found on the outskirts of the city, near the forest. The perpetrator left it behind because he knew it would be traced.Once again, the same thing happened.This car happened just like the car that was about to hit him. If the car at the garbage dump had HN engraved, then the one yesterday was BY.This made him both convinced and unsure about the perpetrator being the same person.Felix thought, what exactly are these people up to? And how to catch them?Besides, the terrorizing is no longer done. So, it was a little difficult to trap the perpetrators.These three big unrevealed problems really made Felix unable to stop thinking.Finally, before his meal was finished, Felix put down his spoon and headed for the garage.The journey to the Group Elegance went smoothly until Felix arrived at his room."Felix," ca
"It's unusual for you to be drunk like this. What's wrong with you?" Ardo put his arm around Felix and carried him into the car while continuing to talk to himself.Although they were almost the same height, Felix's body proportions were more perfect, with toned muscles in some parts, making it a little difficult for Ardo to carry him.Jeslyn, standing nervously near the car, immediately ran over and helped Ardo. "How much did he drink to get like this?""I don't know. I met him at the entrance. He was with his friends, and two of them were like this," Ardo replied.They then carefully put Felix in the back of the car.After making sure he was comfortable and putting on the seatbelt, Ardo straightened up and exhaled softly. "Huft! Tomorrow, I'll tell him not to drink himself into a stupor.""No, leave it alone. He might need a little pick-me-up now and then," said Jeslyn, who then took a small jog towards the steering wheel.Ardo followed.As the car started to move, Ardo looked at Je
"I don't blame you, so you don't need to apologize," Felix said.Hearing that, Ardo was a little surprised, but then he shook his head firmly. "No, it can't be like that. You should be angry. I've gone too far. You had good intentions, but I got angry and thought badly of you. Felix, let's get mad at me! You got drunk because of me. Now I'm in front of you, so you just say what you want to say."At the sight of him seriously saying this, Felix suddenly felt like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.Among all the people he had met, none of them had asked to be scolded. However, Ardo... Felix shook his head softly, feeling helpless."I know how you felt back then. I really don't blame you," Felix said no less seriously. "And as for getting drunk last night, it had nothing to do with you. It was purely because I wanted to drink.""Really? You're not lying, are you?" Ardo looked doubtful.Felix gave a small nod. "There's no point in me lying either.""So, Ardo, you don't have to blame
Felix left the hospital with wide strides. He got into his car and drove off not long after.Haris and Diana's words kept replaying in his mind—especially Diana's words about the second man, the one who told them to leave Ardo.Of everything they said, Felix remembered the part where the man accidentally dropped a piece of old newspaper. Diana said the man was probably in too much of a hurry to be careless.But Felix didn't think so. He felt that the man had deliberately dropped the object so that Haris and Diana would keep it and turn it into evidence.As a confidant who was told to get rid of someone from the family, how could the man be so careless? Moreover, Diana said the piece of newspaper was news about an accident that happened to Ardo. He should have been very careful because even the slightest mistake could make his task fail.Of course, this was just his thinking. As for the real story, it would be revealed if he found the man."EasySync, are you still unable to find the da
Felix waited quietly in the car. After a while, he remembered the newspaper he had taken from Haris and Diana's house. So he took it out and looked at it carefully.The piece of newspaper was neatly folded. And perhaps because of time, the folds had become more neat and worn.When he saw the headline and read the few lines, Felix didn't think there was anything strange. It's just a typical accident report. However, as he flipped the piece of newspaper over, he suddenly felt a sense of Deja Vu."Looks like I've seen it before," Felix muttered as he looked at the page intently.It was only when his gaze fell on the corner, where there was a white car damaged in an accident, that he remembered it. His body immediately straightened up with widened eyes. "Isn't this the same newspaper I found on the land title?"Thought after thought started coming into his brain, making him pause for a long time with a thoughtful expression."If it's true that I have it, then the news about Ardo's acciden
Secretary Jorell raised his gaze and asked, "Didn't you see the news? Mr. Zay brought up the case of his missing son again. Now that the public was paying attention to it again, many people wanted to help. Although this blow was harder than before, Mr. Zay himself said that hope was returning. And he feels that after this, he will meet his son."Speaking up to this point, Secretary Jorell sighed softly and cast his gaze at the flower garden visible through the window. "I don't know if this is a good thing, but I hope Mr. Zay finds his happiness soon."Felix was even more stunned by this. He really didn't know anything about the news regarding the appointment of Mr. Zay's eldest son's disappearance. He really missed out on a lot of things. Apparently, after this, he would have to start watching the news, reading newspapers, and playing social media more often."Felix, I'm saying all this because I know how much you mean to Mr. Zay." Secretary Jorell looked back at Felix and said more s
With hesitant movements, Felix began to open the cover of the diary. On the first page, nothing was written. Felix's thick eyebrows twitched slightly, and he continued to open sheet after sheet until he finally stopped in the middle of the page.Just reading the title, Felix's body began to freeze. His throat became choked with burning eyes.As it continued, Felix's eyes began to tremble softly. He swallowed hard as he finished reading all the words on the page.Feeling that it was still too early, he continued to the next page. This time, Felix could not stand it. He raised his head, staring at the ceiling of his room with trembling eyes as he chewed on his lower lip."So I'm not really their son?" As he lowered his head, tears fell from his eyes. "And they didn't leave me on purpose, but... it was time to go."Felix's body slumped. He crouched down, put his head in his hands, and leaned back with his eyes closed. At that moment, his tears fell.For a while, Felix just stayed in that
