Chapter 1782 Forgiveness
“No one could’ve expected this,” Solly uttered with o helpless look on her foce. She wosn’t wrong—no
one could hove expected their littlemotion to hove such on impoct on Bryce. When theye over
with Leoh previously, their intention hod just been to stop Bryce from oltering the contents of his will. In
the end, they didn’t just foil to solvoge the situotion; they hod olso lost more thon before.
Since they no longer hod ony business being there, Solly ond Simon wolked off while tolking to eoch
other. Ion only returned to the words ofter he sow them leoving. Auroro ond Cindy were no longer in
Bryce’s word when he got bock—they were stonding ot the end of the corridor with their bocks resting
ogoinst the windowsill.
Auroro spoke in o rother wistful tone. “Now thot he’s in such o situotion, I think Leoh might be releosed
soon.” Cindy nodded. “I think so. Leoh isn’t on her own, ofter oll—she hos her two kids. I bet they’ll get
her out by these two doys.”
Auroro pursed her lips os she felt her initiol onger foding off. “Whot o shome. Thot womon deserves to
suffer more.”
Cindy wos o little more forgiving. “Perhops she hos olreody suffered enough.”
Upon heoring Cindy’s words, Auroro recolled how Leoh looked in the video coll. Theero hodn’t
been wide enough to show the entire spoce, but Auroro could tell thot Leoh wos oplete mess.
There were bruises ond dried blood on her foce, ond her hoir wos unkempt. Auroro hodn’t monoged to
see Leoh’s body, but it wos cleor thot she wos injured. Perhops it’s enough since she got so severely
injured. Auroro felt better ofter reolizing thot.
“No one could’ve expected this,” Sally uttered with a helpless look on her face. She wasn’t wrong—no
one could have expected their littlemotion to have such an impact on Bryce. When they came over
with Leah previously, their intention had just been to stop Bryce from altering the contents of his will. In
the end, they didn’t just fail to salvage the situation; they had also lost more than before.
Since they no longer had any business being there, Sally and Simon walked off while talking to each
other. Ian only returned to the wards after he saw them leaving. Aurora and Cindy were no longer in
Bryce’s ward when he got back—they were standing at the end of the corridor with their backs resting
against the windowsill.
Aurora spoke in a rather wistful tone. “Now that he’s in such a situation, I think Leah might be released
soon.” Cindy nodded. “I think so. Leah isn’t on her own, after all—she has her two kids. I bet they’ll get
her out by these two days.”
Aurora pursed her lips as she felt her initial anger fading off. “What a shame. That woman deserves to
suffer more.”
Cindy was a little more forgiving. “Perhaps she has already suffered enough.”
Upon hearing Cindy’s words, Aurora recalled how Leah looked in the video call. The camera hadn’t
been wide enough to show the entire space, but Aurora could tell that Leah was aplete mess.
There were bruises and dried blood on her face, and her hair was unkempt. Aurora hadn’t managed to
see Leah’s body, but it was clear that she was injured. Perhaps it’s enough since she got so severely
injured. Aurora felt better after realizing that.
Ian walked over to the two women. “What are you guys doing here? Why aren’t you guys sitting
inside?”
Aurora turned to look at Ian. “There was an annoying guy who came into the room just now, and I didn’t
want to see his face.” Ian immediately knew who she was referring to. “That annoying guy has been
having a tough time recently, so you shouldn’t feel too bothered by him,” he said with augh.
His words were met with a scoff. “I ignored him precisely because I wasn’t bothered by him. If I really
wanted to get petty with him, I would’ve just gone up to p him on the face,” Aurora replied. She was
certain that Simon had bullied Ian in the past, and she felt like hitting Simon whenever she thought
about it.
All three of them stayed in the hospital until Sean arrived in the afternoon. Sean had rushed over from
thepany without having his lunch. Ian felt rather exasperated when he saw Sean. “You’re going to
copse if you continue doing this. You should get more rest since the nurses are here to keep watch.”
After considering Ian’s words for a while, Sean responded quietly, “I got some sleep in thepany as
there wasn’t much work to do this morning.” He fell silent for a while as aplicated expression
appeared on his face. “It was just a short nap, but I had a dream that Dad might be leaving soon,” he
uttered after a few seconds. His tone sounded rather glum as he spoke.
Ian was quiet for a while after that. Sean’s situation was different from Ian’s—Bryce had always been
nicer to Sean, and they certainly had some sort of father-and-son rtionship that Ian didn’t have with
Bryce. If anything happened to Bryce, Ian was sure that Sean would feel sad. Sean was more loving
than Ian was.
In the end, Ian didn’tment on what Sean said. They simply chit-chatted for a while longer before

Ian, Aurora, and Cindy left.
Before they left, Sean turned to look at Ian. “He has always wanted to hear you say that you forgive
him.”
Ian froze in his spot for a long while before he turned to look at Sean. “I don’t think there’s any point in
talking about forgiveness at this juncture,” Ian said in the most genuine and direct tone possible. If I tell
him that I forgive him, it might allow him to leave a little more peacefully, but I’d also be lying as I don’t
think I’ve forgiven him. If I forgave him, it would be unfair to Mom and the old me.
How many people in the world were actually generous and forgiving enough to let go of all the past hurt
that they had received? At most, they would just utter words of forgiveness to ease the situation. If
these individuals were to recall the hurt that they had been through, they would certainly still feel some
rage over it.
