762 Vincent's Dilemma
Day Seventy-Nine...
[At Sakura District Hospital...]
Mia lost so much blood during her accident that she needed a blood transfusion. Jane didn't hesitate to offer her own blood for her daughter. This was the least she could do to save her daughter.
Mr. Hiroshi and Vincent waited outside the operating room, both not saying a word. Despite witnessing Vincent's violent behavior toward Speed, Mr. Hiroshi couldn't ridicule his actions.
As a father, he could understand Vincent's rage. There was no doubt that Vincent cared so much about Mia. He won't hesitate to kill his loyal subordinate as punishment for her failure to protect his daughter.
"She's going to make it," Mr. Hiroshi finally spoke up, breaking the silence. He could see the fear and anxiety in Vincent's eyes as he waited.
Vincent turned to Mr. Hiroshi, nodding his head as he
acknowledged his words. "Mia is a strong kid. I know..." He folded his fingers into fists, trying to calm his raging emotions.
Their conversation was interrupted when Vincent's phone rang. His expression turned grim upon seeing Monica's caller ID.
He decided to ignore it. However, Monica kept calling his number.
"So now, tell me that I just did the right thing!" Monica mocked him.
Vincent couldn't refute that. Nathan and Ethan must not know the truth about Ethan's real mother. Because of this, Vincent was put in a dilemma. How could he let go of Old Man Xu if he already knew a secret that Nathan must not know?
He was torn between keeping his promise to Jane and his desire to hide the truth.
'Damn! Why do I have to choose now?' Vincent clenched his jaw.

To his surprise, Ethan suddenly hugged him. "Uncle Li... I miss my Mommy Jane. And I am worried about my Grandpa. I want to see them soon." The young boy confided his feelings with Butler Li.
Butler Li stroked his hair, feeling sorry for his young master. "Your mommy will be here soon. And don't worry too much about your grandpa. Your father is doing his best to locate him."bender
"I pray that someone will protect my grandpa from harm. Butler Li... they said... Grandpa's secretary betrayed us. He is a traitor. I hate traitors. When I grow up, I will punish people who try to hurt my family." Little Ethan swore to himself.
Then he gazed up at him. "Uncle Li... please don't betray us, okay? I know you won't. You are the only person I trust in this household aside from my father and Uncle Axel."
Butler Li was touched by Ethan's words. "Thank you, Young Master." He smiled faintly as he embraced Ethan.
"Don't cry anymore, Young Master. Your grandpa will be safe." Butler Li rubbed his back, consoling him.
"Yes, Uncle Li. I will wait for my grandpa to come home. I will behave and show him how much I love him."
