The Endgame Chronicles (by Hugh White) novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156

At that moment, Bernard was filled with regret

How did he end up having a son like Philip?

Bernard had given everything to his son. He carried Philip out of the city, and yet that monster just abandoned him once he w fully recovered.

What a damn animal!

Suddenly, he thought of Hayley.

If only his daughter were here…

If only Hayley were here…

Hayley might have been rebellious, but Bernard knew she was fiercely loyal to the people she cared about.

Bernard was a guy from a remote village who had worked his way up. He married into Cynthia’s family to make a life in the cil Before marrying Cynthia, he had already married Lucy back home and had Philip.

When Hayley was little, Bernard rarely returned home. Cynthia never complained, but Hayley would yell at him every time.

Later, when he brought Eleanor from the countryside, Eleanor bullied Cynthia.

Five–year–old Hayley lunged at Eleanor and bit her like a little wolf, drawing blood but still refusing to let go. Having grown u without a real father, Hayley was determined to protect her family, especially her mother.
