When Colin was 18 years old, he met Avril, who had just married Colin's uncle and rushed back to her country to visit his family. From then on, Colin's fate had completely changed, and he had suffered a lot in his life.
Avril had changed his decadent state, pulled back a rebellious and lawless young man, and made him turn over a new leaf. He started a new life, and even worked hard. Later, he became the Colin made everyone envious and amazed. Now there were many label on him: young and promising, handsome and rich, excellent potential and so on. But who could have thought that he was such a young man before?
However, even such a woman couldn't be tolerated by Ling family, and their love couldn't be recognized. Gilbert was furious, and Fannie also gave vent to her anger. At last, Avril was forced to die. Colin was heartbroken. He couldn't understand why Fannie and Gilbert insisted on forcing Avril to die and separating him and Avril. Colin loved Avril more than Caleb did. Avril had changed Colin so much. He wanted to get a person so much that he even begged them in a humble way for the first time, but Gilbert and Fannie still couldn't tolerate it. They couldn't let it go. In the end, they forced Avril to death and they cut off his feelings and torn him apart.
Therefore, after Avril's death, he hated those two people even more. He felt that they were very cruel and inhuman, and they didn't deserve to be his parents at all. Since then, Colin had broken up with Fannie and disdained to see Gilbert. He moved out of Ling family and lived alone outside, managing his own small company and working hard. He didn't want to have anything to do with Ling family at all.
More than half of the past had passed. Now, eight or nine years had passed. Facing Gilbert again, Gilbert was no longer angry and domineering as he used to be. His body was not as strong as before, and he could only rely on the medical equipment in the hospital to make a living. The pain in Colin's heart was not so deep, and he didn't have such a attachment to Avril. He had already given up, and had a more beloved and more precious woman. His hatred for Gilbert and Fannie was not as deep as before, but he still hated and rejected them. In the end, there was only indifference left in his heart.
Colin asked, "What do you mean?"
The father and son had been hating each other for many years. Would Gilbert say something good before he died? Colin couldn't understand. After all, he didn't have much expectation for the relationship between the father and son, and Gilbert hated him to the end, so Gilbert wouldn't have any expectation. Therefore, what Gilbert said suddenly seemed to be from the bottom of his heart, which aroused Colin's doubts.
