The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 528

Even Ganter himself doubted that he could have endured it. Besides, Austin should not have suffered that fate. It was all his fault. If he had not insisted on saving Stephen back then, he would not have come to Hill City and encountered the armed robbers. Everything was his fault!

Ganter fell to the ground helplessly, wallowing in regret. He should not have saved Stephen back then.

A few minutes later, he slowly walked out of the hospital ward and booked a flight to Riveria. He wanted to meet Ethan and beg for his forgiveness.

Half a day later, Ganter arrived at Ethan’s mansion. Memories of his first visit flashed across his mind. At that time, he was confident, as if victory was already in the bag. Yet now, standing before the mansion again, his face was pale, and he looked significantly older.

Ganter slowly walked into the mansion and saw Ethan sitting on the couch, reading a book, just like their first meeting.

“Ethan…” Ganter approached him but hesitated.

He was a master psychologist, but in front of Ethan, he lacked the courage to speak.

Ethan looked at him. “What are you doing here instead of staying with your mentee in the hospital? I don’t have any magical cures for his leg.”

Ganter lowered his head. He was not surprised that Ethan knew about it. After all, Ethan was an existence who could drive Stephen to the verge of breaking down!

Ganter was now aware of Stephen’s destruction after witnessing him plunge Hill City into chaos in half a month, causing economic collapse and the people to suffer.

“I’m sorry.” Ganter apologized, “I’ve realized my mistake. I shouldn’t have saved Stephen.”

Ethan smiled faintly. “Saying this now won’t fix Hill City.”

Ganter’s head hung low. “I want to go back. I want to bring Austin away from here and return to Metropolis.”

He wanted to escape this place. Austin had lost a leg today, but what next? Ganter did not dare to imagine it, nor did he want to gamble.
