Evelyn felt that there was something wrong with his whole body as if he had completely sealed himself in another world. All his thoughts and feelings stayed in that world. He kept regretting what he had done.
"It's not like that, Huston. You've done well enough. If I were you, I wouldn't know how to face my family. No one can live forever. Although it's cruel, you have to accept this reality." She hugged him tightly, trying to pull him out of the abyss of self-blame. "Sir. Lloyd's death has nothing to do with you. He's sick. What you have to do is to stay by his side and accompany him through the last part of his life. You're good. Sir. Lloyd is proud of you and he understands your feelings. If you want him to have no regrets in the last part of his journey, don't do this again!"
Her words made the man's unfocused eyes find a little focus again. Instead of asking her, he seemed to be muttering to himself, "He will only feel more uneasy if I do this..."
"Yes, so you have to cheer up and be the grandson that he is proud of again so that he can leave with peace of mind instead of being full of regrets."
Huston looked out of the window at the lights in the distance. The beams of light that were shining from the depths of his eyes turned into blurry flowers, some red, some green, some yellow... It stung his eyes, but it also illuminated the darkness in his heart.
Yes, at this point in his life, he could not continue to be selfish. He had to let Sir. Lloyd rest assured. If he could not even do this, he would not even be qualified to be sad.
These words seemed to have fished Huston out of the deep sea where he couldn't even see his fingers. His mind quickly cleared up, and he felt that the wind outside the window was a little cold.
Just now, he couldn't even feel everything in the outside world, and his heart was only filled with self-blame and guilt.
He straightened up again and turned to look at the little woman standing behind him. It was almost late at night, and her face was full of exhaustion. He had been feeling uncomfortable these days, and she was also feeling uncomfortable. She had to accompany him and take care of Lucas at the same time. She had lost a lot of weight.
