Love could conquer all obstacles to bring prosperity to a family.
A loveless marriage would eventually lead to a split. Regardless of how good the foundation was, problems would eventually arise. This would lead to conflicts within the family that could affect other things like a career.
“Unfilial son, I will kill you!”
The old man was furiously brandishing his crutches at Zachary. Another blow descended upon the latter.
“But how am I wrong?” queried Zachary. “My father also married a good woman, according to your will. And what happened in the end? Nothing good, I can tell you that.”
Upon hearing this, Henry stopped his ministrations.
The tragedy involving his son, Harrison, was indirectly caused by him. That was the greatest regret of his life. Henry forbade the very mention of it, but Zachary alone was not afraid to reopen closed wounds.
The scars that hid endless amounts of grief and regret.
In an instant, all traces of Henry's initial arrogance disappeared. Instead, he fell back into his wheelchair dejectedly. “I can't deny that I caused that. But your father was stubborn, and he just had to fall in love with that Lindberg witch. What a tragedy that turned out to be.”
Having said that, Henry looked up at Zachary. “I just don't want you to repeat his mistakes, so I'm just looking out for you, do you understand?”
Zachary felt a pang of guilt when he saw how sad the admission made Henry. He knew that his father was Henry's albatross and that it seemed cruel to use this against him like this.
“Anyway, I won't allow this woman into this family.”
Henry put his foot down and gestured at Spencer, who hurriedly wheeled him away.
Zachary frowned at Henry's retreating figure.
Bruce lowered his head and opened the door for them.
Spencer wheeled Henry out. Just then, the cheerful voices of the children could be heard from outside. “Great-grandpa? There he is!”
“Hey, the children are back!”
Hearing the children's call, Henry immediately raised a smile, and the dark haze just disappeared.
