Chapter 1066

Connor had never seen Jeffery this shaken before.

Truth be told, Jeffery was never much of a father. He hardly ever got involved in his kids' arguments-he barely even stepped in when things got ugly between him and Claire. Unless it was a matter of life and death, he kept his distance.

Still, Connor always sensed that Jeffery didn't totally lack love for them. It was there, just buried deep. Maybe he saw family drama as nothing more than a passing storm, not worth getting worked up over.

Jeffery's emotions always seemed... incomplete. He never knew how to show affection. Sometimes, Connor wondered if his father was more machine than man —cold, detached, all logic and no feeling. Other times, he imagined Jeffery just hid his love so deep, no one could find it.

But now, Jeffery slumped into his chair like he'd been hit by something he couldn't fight. He kept muttering to himself, over and over: "Karma, vengeful ghosts, a life traded for a life, may you live a long life..."

His face kept changing-confusion, pain, disbelief—until finally, he just looked devastated. "How did it come to this? How could this happen?" he whispered.
