Chapter 181-190

Chapter 181 Chapter 181 Victor struggled to rise from his hospital bed. His butler rushed to stop him. “Sir, you’re still injured! The doctor said it’s a miracle you’re even alive. Please, don’t move around!” “It’s not a miracle…” Victor shook his head vigorously, his voice breaking. “It’s my daughter, Faith. She saved me…” His voice trailed off, nearly choking with emotion. The butler paused, surprised.

Faith Ashton had become a taboo subject in the Ashton family-o one dared to mention her name. She was Victor’s most beloved daughter. Twenty years ago, in a fit of rage over her relationship with a poor boy, Victor had banished her from the Ashton family. He had even declared that if she stepped out the door, they would be dead to each other forever.

Faith then left without looking back. Victor had hardened his heart and chosen to ignore her existence, and their relationship had frozen in time.

For three long years, Victor had thought of Faith often. Eventually, he sent someone to quietly gather news about her, thinking he could at least make amends, but instead, the man returned with devastating news. She had died.

It turned out that six months before Victor had sent someone to inquire about Faith, she and her husband had already passed away.

At that time, Faith had just given birth. While on the run, she endured the agony of hiding her newborn daughter to protect her from danger. Later, Faith and his husband had been chased down, and in the end, they had both been killed.

Upon hearing this, Victor was overwhelmed with regret, falling into a deep depression that aged him a decade overnight. He had spent years searching for the baby Faith had hidden but to no avail. If the child were still alive, she would be eighteen now-growing into a lovely young woman.
