However, gradually things started to go awry. That was because the rescue team arranged by Greta last time did not arrive promptly, and there was no medical team to administer immediate treatment.
Their food and drink supplies were gradually depleted, and their bodies were excessively worn out. In the end, Niel also had to care for Yasmine, who, apart from crying, only seemed to be a hindrance, constantly speaking of love.
All of those factors rapidly drained them, and finally, due to an unexpected incident, he ended up breaking his leg because of Yasmine’s actions.
He was nearly at death’s door. At a true brink of despair, he was overwhelmed with regret for his past choices and finally broke down in tears.
Even when blinded by love, he realized that a woman who rushed headlong into a dangerous situation couldn’t save his life. Instead, only the woman who quietly arranged everything behind his back that truly saved him.
Back when Greta was around, even if he encountered danger, he would always be rescued in time. Due to that, he almost forgot the risks involved in their line of work. Without Greta, all he had was a burden by his side, and everything else was gone.
Upon awakening, Niel found himself crippled, which made him even less able to accept reality.
It took only Greta four days to rescue him, but when Lancelot found him, it took a full fifteen days. He had already become haggard, utterly exhausted, seeming to have aged a decade overnight.
Seeing Yasmine crying in front of him only infuriated him. He knew that if it weren’t for her ignorance and blind rush to find him, he might have been able to stretch the remaining resources until rescue arrived.
However, he was subjected to endless torment because of her, a woman who came to him because of love.
He thought he must have truly lost his mind to abandon a wonderful woman like Greta and stuck with a burden.
However, it was all too late.
Even if he ended things with Yasmine right then, there was no way Greta would take him back. Any regrets would be pointless.
Regret was also a companion of Lancelot. In truth, he had been filled with remorse ever since he had taken over his mother’s duties. When he heard about his father’s mishap and that Yasmine had run off again, he wasn’t as moved as he was the last time. Instead, he was consumed by frustration, his mind filled with a single thought, which was anger at Yasmine for stirring up trouble amidst all that chaos.
At that moment, he felt a sudden, sharp pain in his heart.
However, he couldn’t reach his mother. He still felt that she was too harsh for wanting to sever ties with him. He was upset about the situation and decided to help his father, but the more he thought about his mother’s ordeal, the more he realized how difficult it must have been for her. He couldn’t imagine how she managed to stay calm during those torturous days and even started to wonder what his father was doing at that time. When he thought that his father might be spending the time being intimate with Yasmine hea

With those thoughts in mind, he was truly too embarrassed to face his mother. Yet, as time dragged on, his fear only grew, worrying whether it was too late to save his father.
Finally, just as he couldn’t hold on any longer, his father was rescued.
Upon seeing his father’s pitiful state, Lancelot really wanted to ask if his father had any regrets. He was certain things wouldn’t have ended that way if Greta was still around.
Upon awakening, Niel immediately harbored an endless resentment toward Yasmine. At that moment, Lancelot realized that Niel held even deeper regrets than he did, for the latter had truly paid a devastating price.
With his crippled body, he might spend a lifetime repaying the debt he owed to the Zimmer family.
In the end, Lancelot called the Quirk estate. He wanted to let his mother know about their fate. He thought his mother would curse in pain, proclaiming it was their retribution.
