In the end, under the joint persuasion of the doctors and Vincent, Dawn followed their advice, returned to the country, and approached Ethan in order to get close to Will…
Dawn suddenly felt a wave of nausea roll through her stomach, rising all the way to her mouth, bitter and sharp.
She had waited for this day for a very long time.
But now that she was finally face–to–face with him, she couldn’t even tell what hatred was supposed to feel like anymore.
No one knew how much time passed before Will let out a heavy sigh, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
“Dawn.” His voice was still gentle, yet carried an indescribable sense of weariness and sorrow. “Anything you want to know, I’ll tell you. Your mother’s death–I do bear responsibility. Even if you want my life, I won’tin.”
After a pause, he added, “But I think… you may have misunderstood me.”
Dawn looked at him with eyes as cold as ice and said nothing.
A <i>misunderstanding</i>?
How <i>big </i>a <i>misunderstanding </i><i>could </i><i>it </i>be?
<i>Vincent </i><i>already </i><i>has evidence </i><i>solid </i><i>enough </i><i>to </i><i>take </i><i>him </i><i>to </i><i>court</i>.
“Can you tell me why you hate me so much?” Will’s eyes were full of confusion. “There must be a misunderstanding in all this.”
Dawn’s eyes were red. Even though she’d tried her best to steady herself, her voice still came out hoarse. “A misunderstanding? Looks like you really don’t remember. Then let me help you recall.
“When my parents were dating, they broke up in college. After that, she met herter boyfriend, Vincent. Are you seriously going to say you didn’t interfere and force them apart?”
Will’s pupils trembled violently, his eyes instantly reddening.
Seeing that look<b>, </b>Dawnughed.
<b>“</b>Is that a misunderstanding?”
It wasn’t.
<b>It </b>was the truth.
And back then, the Jacksons were already at their peak. Vincent’s family wasn’t poor, but he was nowhere near their league.
“I<b>–</b>it’s true.” Will recalled those days, his expression wavering. “That was because your mother didn’t truly love him. I was <b>doing </b><b>it </b>for her own good…”
“How do you know she didn’t truly love him?”
Dawn’s eyes were almost bloodshot.

She spoke each word clearly. “Hiding behind the excuse of ‘for her own good‘–wasn’t that just satisfying your own selfish desires? Later, she gave up that rtionship and chose to marry my father. How many times did <i>you </i>go looking for her in private after that? Answer me!”
“Dawn-”
“Don’t call my name!”
Dawn turned her face away. In those clear eyesy emotions on the verge of decay. She didn’t dare look at him anymore. One more nce, and the pain buried deep in her nerves would sprout barbs, tearing her apart.
She took a deep breath, her voice very soft.
“Didn’t you say it was a misunderstanding?
“Since it’s a misunderstanding, then please, exin it.”
The muscles along Will’s cheeks were drawn tight, his expression unbearably restrained. After a long moment, he said in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”
Dawn didn’t know what exactly he was apologizing for. Her gaze was mocking as she stared at him.
“My feelings for your mother wereplicated. When I was young … I tried almost everything to make her see me. But she could love Horace, and she could force herself to be with Vincent, yet she wouldn’t give me even a single chance.”
A bitter smile surfaced at the corner of Will’s mouth.
His voice sounded like an old, lonely bell.
“In her words, she didn’t even want to remain friends with me. Later, I finally gave up and epted the family–arranged marriage, marrying my current wife, Ethan’s mother.
“Dawn<b>, </b>I never expected you to end up with Ethan. But at the same time, I was d.”
He looked at Dawn, his gaze sincere.
There wasn’t a trace of deceit.
“I <i>avoided </i>seeing <i>you </i>all this time, not because I was that guilty, but because I didn’t know how to face you… I knew about your <i>mother’s </i>death. If I had done more back then, maybe the oue would’ve been different. So I bear responsibility.”
Dawn’s hand at <i>her </i>side clenched tightly.
She pressed her lips together. After a long moment<b>, </b>she said coldly, “So you’re saying it had nothing to do with you?”
“Dawn<b>, </b>with the bond I shared with your mother since childhood, I could never have set fire to your home.”
“Then how do you exin going to see her again and again?”
“…”
The words were right at his lips, yet Will still found them hard to say. Regret, remorse, and pain nearly drowned him.
His lips trembled slightly. In the end, he spoke.

“I found out she was being threatened. I wanted to help her.

“But she refused. She said it had taken everything for her to finally draw a clear line between us. She didn’t want to get entangled again because of that. I knew she just didn’t want to drag me into trouble. That person’s background was extremelyplicated. Even I couldn’t trace him.”
For many years afterward, Will often wondered if things would’ve turned out differently for Vera and Horace if he’d insisted back then, or if he hadn’t left the country in a fit of anger.
But unfortunately …
The words “if only” were nothing more than the creator’s final constion for regret.
Dawn neither said she believed him nor said she didn’t.
