Chapter 1172


    rk could only bow deeply, his voice a mix of sorrow and regret, "I''m sorry."


    He knew that no amount of apologies could mend their broken hearts from the loss of their beloved


    daughter, but he genuinely felt sorry for them. He felt sorry for Crystal.


    “I''ll take care of you both till I die” rk seemed to make a decision, saying seriously, “You can treat me


    as your son. I''ll oftene to visit and take care of you in your old age."


    Even though this couldn''t alleviate the pain felt by Alger and Celeste, at least they wouldn''t be left alone


    in this world.


    "Give me all the information rted to those people.’ Alger said, his voice weary, "And never show up


    in front of us again"


    “But."


    "Leave." Alger didn''t even want to nce at him, "I want to spend some time with my daughter."


    He had thought that he would have a lifetime to watch his daughter walk down the aisle in a wedding


    dress, have her own children.


    But he never expected that their time together would be so short.


    rk''s eyes dimmed, "I''lle back tonight"


    He nned to wait until they calmed down a bit before visiting again. He wanted to help them in any


    way he could, including organizing Crystal''s funeral.


    Time passed, and the day broke.


    Carol opened her eyes to find someone sleeping next to her. It was rk.


    He was lying on the edge of the bed, his head resting on one hand. He looked tired.


    Carol noticed his fists were cracked, the blood had coagted on the surface of his skin.


    Growing up in such a harsh environment, Carol could tell at a nce that these were injuries from a


    fight.


    Who did he fight with?


    Was it those people?

    Carol remembered how her foster parents were killed by those people, and how they dragged innocent


    Crystal into it.


    Tears suddenly welled up in Carol''s eyes.


    rk was clutching Carol''s hand in his sleep. Maybe he felt her moving, and he opened his eyes. He


    was overjoyed, "Carol, you''re awake."


    Nothing could make him happier than seeing her awake.


    Carol turned her face away, not wanting him to see the tear tracks on her face.


    rk quickly reached out to wipe them away, "Don''t cry. It''s my fault for sleeping so soundly. How long


    have you been awake? Don''t worry, those people have been caught. I’ve tracked down the IP of the


    person who ordered them. My men are on their way. They will make them wish they were dead."


    rk wanted these people to pay doubly for how Logan, Taylor, and Crystal were killed and the pain


    they suffered.


    Carol didn''t say anything, staring at the snowkes falling outside the window. She remembered a


    snowy day when she was young. Taylor was with her in the yard making a snowman, and Logan had a


    snowball fight with them.


    They allughed so happily.


    rk followed her gaze, gently holding her, "We agreed that once you''re better, we''ll go skiing. How


    are you feeling? Are you better? Should I call the doctor to check on you?"


    Carol shook her head.


    She kept her gaze away from him, not looking at him.


    rk''s heart skipped a beat.
