The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339 

“I know.” Nico smiled wryly. “Because we’re the same. I to kill me. We’re not so different, after all.” 

to kill Ethan, and you want 

Stephen instantly fell silent. He understood that the shock from Nico killing his son with his own hands had left the man devastated. 

George gritted his teeth, stating, “You brought this upon yourself. None of this would’ve happened if you had just lived normally after being released from prison.” 

Nico fell silent. If he had let go of his grudge after his release, he would not have lost everything. 

“So, he had a plan all along.” 

If he had followed Ethan’s plan, Tommy would have finished college, started a family, and be taken away from Stone Village for a fresh start in Hill City. However, because Nico chose revenge instead, he ended up killing his son with his own hands, sealing his fate. 

“I regret it,” Nico said weakly as he looked down at the white sheets. “I finally understand what Ethan was trying to do for me. I’d like to apologize to him if given the chance.” 

George said, “It’s too late for that.” 

He despised Nico. If not for Nico, he would not have fought Julius, and Julius would not be 

dead. 

Nico looked at George. “I don’t care anymore. I have nothing left to lose, but what about you?” 

George was speechless. Nico had tricked him into believing Stone Village was a heroic village. He even issued a public statement for that. 

Then, he fought with Julius, which resulted in the latter being injured and later shooting Nico. George was practically Nico’s accomplice. In fact, all three of them were guilty. 

Silence filled the room for a while. 

Stephen broke the silence first. “Let’s go. 

With that, he and George left the hospital. They had many things to handle, such as arranging Julius and Tommy’s funerals and preparing a memorial for their heroic 

sacrifices. 

Julius had caught the fleeing Nico, and Tommy had saved George. Those were great things they had done. 

Stephen and George worked until late at night to get done with the preparations as the funeral service would be held the next morning

At 10 p.m., Stephen lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would see the image of Julius dying in his arms. 

“Don’t… be deceived again.” Julius‘ words rang in his ears. 

Stephen got up from the bed and heaved a long sigh. Then, he got dressed, left his room, called his subordinate to buy a bottle of wine, and drove to the hospital. 

Julius and Tommy would be cremated soon, so Stephen wanted to see them one last time.
