Ch antidote. Give it to your grandma now. She’ll wake up shortly after taking it,” Dad said as he tossed me a small medicine bottle.
He did care about his mother, but the person he loved always came first, no matter the situation.
He was afraid that if he went to give Grandma the antidote himself, I might do something to Regina. So he didn’t even have the time to save his own mother personally.
Of course, I didn’t care whether he went or not. As long as we had the antidote, that was enough.
Once Grandma woke up, even if he wanted to stay by Regina’s side, it would be useless.
Actually, he probably wouldn’t even want to anymore by then.
Since it was for his own mother after all, he didn’t dare to mess with the antidote.
Grandma regained consciousness quickly after taking it.
Seeing how confused she looked upon waking, I didn’t know how to explain why she was here.
I couldn’t tell her that her only son had actually poisoned her for a woman like that.
I was afraid she wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Family is the hardest bond to sever in the world. Especially a mother’s love for her child.
No matter what the child did, the mother’s first instinct would often be blaming herself rather than the child. She’d think it was her fault for not raising him right that led to this.
Grandma was exactly that kind of mother.
Although she’d always been disappointed and despised how Dad favored Julianne and mistreated me, she still cared deeply for him.
She often told me that she had been too busy with work when he was little, and hadn’t taken care of or educated him properly.
That was why he grew up with such poor judgment.
No matter how disappointed she was in him, she could never give up on him the way I had.
She still held onto hope that he would become a better person.
That was why, even though I hated him and wanted him dead the moment Grandma woke up, I didn’t know how to make it bearable for her.
Her health had already deteriorated from a lifetime of hard work.
No matter what terrible things Dad had done, she wouldn’t survive losing her only son.
And she definitely wouldn’t survive learning that her son had tried to kill her for the sake of a wom
Maybe that was exactly why he dared to do something so absurd.
Because he knew that as long as she was alive, I wouldn’t dare to let anything happen to him that would take him from her sight.
Knowing he was using this to his advantage only made me hate him and want him dead even more.

But when I thought of Grandma…
After comforting her and helping her rest, I left her hospital room.

William noticed the heaviness in my eyes and the complicated emotions on my face.
He walked over and said, “Don’t torture yourself over it. Even if we don’t kill him, there are still ways to make sure he never causes trouble again.”
I looked up and met his gaze.
And in that moment, the burden in my heart suddenly lifted
He really was such a good man, perfect in every way.
It felt as if any problem would vanish the moment it reached his hands.
If I hadn’t once loved Irvin so deeply, maybe I would have fallen for someone like William.
But I had.
I had once loved someone so much and been hurt so deeply that I could no longer love again.
I didn’t even know how to start a new relationship.
Besides, I also believed that someone as perfect as William deserved a love better and purer than what I could give.
