Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 123

Felicia, who had been inside the entire while, suddenly yelped behind the crowd.

Everyone spun on their heels to see Felicia supporting a slightly swollen man behind them.

The man was none other than Louis Campbell, who had been in a coma for several years.

Felicia was helping him out when she saw her brother-in-law beating Patrick up. The scene gave her a fright.

“Dad! You're awake. Oh...” Yvonne was the first to run over to Louis. She wrapped her arms around him and then burst into noisy tears.

Her efforts over the years had proven fruitful.

Harold held back his tears and joined his family in a group hug.

Everyone was moved by the scene of the family bawling their eyes out.

As no one was paying attention to Patrick, he clambered to his feet silently and dragged Alexander out with him.

Harold spotted Patrick's escape, but he didn't bother to point it out. That wasn't important right now.

He lifted his head to look at Louis, who had just regained consciousness.

“Dad, I'm sorry for not being able to keep you company over the years. You had to suffer for so long. I'm an unfilial son,” Harold said, his tone full of remorse.

Back when he was living on the streets, Louis had brought him back home and treated him as his own. In fact, Louis had treated him better than his own daughter, Yvonne.

























That was why Yvonne hated him since young and had always ganged up on him.

I was selfish and didn't dare to come back home after my retirement, as I didn't know how to face Megan. As the Campbell family is the richest family in Norham, I've assumed that nothing would happen to them. It was my fault Dad had to suffer for so long.

Harold regretted thinking that way.

“Don't blame yourself. I'm glad you're back. We'll always be your safe haven,” Louis said weakly.

He lifted his arm stiffly and patted both his kids' heads in an affectionate manner.

Despite being unconscious over the years, he could sense what was happening around him. He knew how much his wife and daughter had suffered when he was lying in bed.

Right then, Samuel walked out of the room and joined the rest.

“Old Mr. Campbell has just regained consciousness, so please make sure he stays calm. Let him walk around for a bit,” Samuel told the Campbells.

Harold and the rest immediately made way for them.

“Let me help you, Harold,” Layne offered.

He belatedly realized Patrick had disappeared and tried to make up for his mistake by taking over Felicia's place to help his brother around.

Everyone didn't want Louis to know that his daughter was nearly married off to Patrick, so they didn't utter a word about the Yarrow family. It was a mutual understanding.

The Campbell family had never been this ecstatic. It was the happiest day they had in years.

Yvonne no longer had to marry Patrick, and Louis had regained consciousness.

A double blessing had descended upon the Campbell family.

“Uncle Layne, my dad finally woke up today. Can you please prepare a spread to celebrate the good news?” Harold requested.

It was obvious that he wasn't going to pursue the matter anymore.

“All right. I'll go get that done now!” Layne responded earnestly and left in a hurry. He was delighted to learn that Harold had decided to let the matter slide.

Samuel stayed behind to join them, too.

Afraid that her husband couldn't take anything after waking up, Felicia prepared some liquid food according to Samuel's instructions.

That noon, they had lunch together. It was a joyful reunion for the Campbell family.

Feeling elated, Louis announced, “I can't believe my daughter has grown up, and my son has returned. When I feel better a few days later, let's invite Glen over for a meal so we can discuss and confirm the date of Harold and Megs' wedding. What do you think, Darling?”
