Chapter 1423 Titus’ Decision

Julia still wanted to persuade him and ask about Sonia.

Knowing that Sonia was their daughter, she wanted to know about Sonia's past and all her experiences growing up.

She even wanted to be by Sonia's side immediately, hold her in her arms, and express the longing she had for Sonia for more than twenty years.

She really wanted to hug her daughter, but she also knew that both Sonia and Toby hated them.

They had no right to keep Toby and ask about everything concerning Sonia.

"Sob..." Julia cried uncontrollably.

Titus leaned against the headboard and felt it was ridiculous and ironic. "Maybe luck is not even on my side, which is why I'm having the karma after more than twenty years," he said hoarsely after he coughed several times.

Julia raised her head and looked at him. "Titus—"

"It's all my fault." Titus blamed himself as he pounded his chest. "If I hadn't been jealous of Henry, if I had restrained myself, none of this would have happened today. It's my fault. If I hadn't been so evil as to steal Henry's company secrets, his employees wouldn't have committed suicide, and he wouldn't have stolen our daughter. It's because of karma that Henry successfully stole Rina, let Rina become his daughter, and had us find out the truth only after more than twenty years. It was all for the sake of ruining me."

She hugged him. "Titus."

The couple wept in despair.

The doctors and nurses outside the door didn't know whether to come in or not.

"Lia, we owe it to Sonia. It's us who have caused her to be in this state today," Titus repeated.

With her eyes closed, Julia nodded in despair. "I know, I know we've wronged her."

"So… I want to do something for her." He squinted at her.

She hurriedly asked, "What do you want to do?"

He exhaled heavily. "It's already clear why Toby came today. He hopes that I choose to die on my own."

Julia's face changed dramatically as she held Titus tightly. "No, you can't! I won't allow you to do that."

He gently patted her back. "Lia, you know Toby's intention, and you also understand that there's no hope for me. The only hope to save me is to use Sonia's kidney, but she is our daughter. Do you really want her to use her kidney to save me?"

"I…" Julia couldn't find the words to say and loosened her grip on him.

Titus smiled. "Not only you, but I also don't want her to do that. She's my only child and the continuation of my life. I love her so much. How could I let her do this? Besides, she's pregnant with our grandchild. For all these reasons, we can't let her do this. Otherwise, we would be selfish as parents. Besides, we owe her in the first place. We have no right to ask her to save me."

"But… I don't want you to go." Julia was full of despair.

Titus was quite accepting of his situation. "You know, I've gotten tired of all this. Throughout my whole life, I've constantly been jealous of others and have done nothing but scheme against others. But in the end, I got nothing out of it, except for this battered, crumbling shell of a body. The only reason I ended up like this now is retribution for what I did in the past. I paid the price for what I did. In fact, I can see everything clearly now. Toby is right. I should be grateful to Henry. He raised and taught our daughter so well. Had our daughter grown up under our care, she would've turned out like Tina. Would she have a good ending then? I think not."

Julia couldn't refute his statement.

Tina ended up with such a fate, let alone their daughter.

Moreover, if Sonia grew up under their care, would Toby still fall in love with her?

Would Toby still protect her if she got herself into trouble by then?

Definitely not!

Their daughter would face imprisonment.

"Lia, Sonia is in a lot of pain now. On the one hand, she's bearing the hatred of the Reeds, and on the other hand, she's also bearing the pressure we have put on her as her biological parents. If she couldn't avenge the Reeds, she'd feel indebted to them. But if she avenges them, it means she has to deal with us, her biological parents. She'll be even more miserable. She's caught between a rock and a hard place, feeling suffocated. And the best solution right now is for me to pass away."

Titus gently stroked her hand. "Even if we got Sonia to donate her kidney, the surgery may not be successful. The doctor said it himself. My body can't even handle the surgery. Even if it could, I don't want my daughter to exchange her life for mine. I am destined to die. If my death can make Sonia completely let go of her hatred for us, it's worth it then. We love our daughter so much. Do we want to see her hating us forever?"

Julia shook her head.

Of course not!
