She Turned Her Grief Into Wings novel Chapter 143

Caden looked at him, an unfathomable emotion swirling in his eyes.

Solomon elaborated, "If Helga knew that Shera actually mattered to you, do you really think she'd have the guts to lay a finger on her? If you hadn't neglected her, if you had just talked to her about everything, would things have ever gotten this bad?"

"So, the biggest problem here is you. Every single thing you did told her that she and her father meant absolutely nothing to you."

Solomon held his gaze. "Why could you travel all that way to keep Helga company, but you couldn't be there for her? They're both family—why the massive double standard?"

Caden's lips parted, but in the end, no words came out.

"Subconsciously, you assumed she'd just understand every decision you made, that she'd love you enough to accept it all, and that as long as you coaxed her a little afterward, everything would be fine."

"And why is that?"

Solomon pointed a finger right at his chest, his words mercilessly sharp.

"Because you felt invincible. Because you thought you were the one being loved, and you assumed that no matter what you did, she would never leave you."

"But Caden," Solomon's usually cynical face was uncharacteristically serious, "that was her father. The only family she had left in this world. The most important person in her entire life."

"How do you expect her to forgive what you did?"

"What's standing between the two of you isn't just a misunderstanding—it's a human life."

"It's the life of the father who raised her through thick and thin!"

What stood between them wasn't a conflict, but a life!

The life of the only family she had left, the most important person in the world to her.

Those words hit Caden like a sledgehammer to the chest, striking so hard he could barely breathe.

His scalp tingled, his fingertips trembled, and a string in his mind felt dangerously close to snapping.

An indescribable rush of emotion clawed at his chest, threatening to drown him completely.
