Chapter 460 Offering

“He asked my mom to make her death quick so she wouldn’t leave a bad last impression on him.

In the end, she couldn’t do it because she knew I’d be left alone if she was gone.

“But after that incident, she fell apart. She started drinking and smoking excessively with the

money my dad left. She’d hurt herself after drinking, covering her arms and legs in scars.

“I was terrified to go home, fearing I’d find her dead or hear her cries. I suffered for five years until

she got diagnosed with cancer. I begged her to get treatment, but she held me with her frail,

scarred hands, saying she wouldn’t burden me.

“She left me some money, hoping I’d grow up well. She told me not to resent my father–he was

the devil. She wanted me to grow up as a pure–hearted angel because I kept her alive for those.

five years.”

As Scott briefly shared his life story, Caroline cried.

“Don’t you hate your father?” Caroline asked.

Scott handed her a glass of water. “What’s the point of hating him? Hate only torments the mind.”

Caroline disagreed, “Your life wouldn’t have ended up like this if not for him, right?”

Scott smiled. “I used to resent him and even tried to find him. But I found out his life isn’t great

either.”

Caroline was confused. “What do you mean?”

Scott’s eyes were clear as he gently explained, “He doesn’t have sincere people around him.”

Caroline looked down. That doesn’t mean he didn’t live a good life-

Scott interrupted, “A wealthy person can buy anything except sincerity.”

Caroline sighed. “True, without sincere people, life feels empty.”

Scott assured her, “You have me, friends, and family. We’ll face life together. People who come

into your life, both causing pain and joy, teach valuable lessons. Don’t hold grudges. It’ll torment

you.”

Caroline smiled sadly. “Easier said than done.”

Scott admitted, “True. It’s not easy for anyone.”

Caroline was surprised but then chuckled, “You’re human too, aren’t you?”

Scott raised an eyebrow. “My soul’s already been offered to Bael.”

Caroline frowned. “What do you mean?”

Scott stood up. “The Angel of Light will get you more water.”

Caroline couldn’t help but laugh at Scott’s teasing.
