**TITLE: The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 710**
**CONTENT: Chapter 710 Letting Go**

Sebastian observed the delicate furrow on the girl’s brow, a reflection of her inner turmoil. He leaned in slightly, his voice gentle yet firm. “Don’t let anxiety take hold of you. Approach him with an open heart, as if he were simply an elderly man mourning the loss of his daughter. Trust your instincts.”

Lilian inhaled deeply, attempting to summon a semblance of calm as she forced a small smile onto her lips. “Yes, I’m alright. Let’s go inside.” With a determined nod, she stepped through the door first, her heart pounding in her chest.

Merrick’s gaze fell upon Lilian as she entered, and though his smile was present, it felt somewhat strained, as if he were holding back a flood of emotions. “You’re back,” he remarked, his tone a mix of relief and uncertainty.

Lilian returned his gaze, nodding slowly. “Yes, I had a few errands to run today, which is why I returned a bit later than usual. But what brings you here at this hour?”

Seeing the willingness in her eyes to engage with him, Merrick’s expression softened, and he reached into his pocket, retrieving a small gift. He extended it toward her, a hint of urgency in his voice. “It’s the last day of the year, and I realized I hadn’t given you your present yet. I was worried it would lose its significance if I didn’t get it to you today.”

An unexpected pang of emotion surged within Lilian, catching her off guard. As she gazed at the beautifully wrapped gift in her hands, her eyes shimmered with unshed tears, her voice trembling as she spoke. “I’ve grown up now; you really don’t need to give me money.”

Merrick approached her, leaning heavily on his cane, and gently placed the gift into her palm. His voice carried a weight of sorrow. “In my heart, you will always remain a child. Please, accept it.”

As Lilian held the gift, it suddenly felt burdensome, heavy with unspoken words and unresolved feelings.

Merrick’s gaze lingered on her, filled with a mix of understanding and regret. “I know you harbor resentment towards me. You blame me for not being able to protect your mother, for the suffering she endured. I understand that nothing I can do now will erase the pain you and your mother experienced all those years. But how could I have wanted any of this? The loss of Catherine, the passing of your grandmother—I wished I could have been with them. My only reason for holding on to life was the hope that Catherine might still be found. But alas, it was too late. I know that no matter how much I speak, I cannot mend the wounds you carry, but I am determined to do everything in my power to make amends.”
