Zachary's father, Matthew Gomez, snapped, "I can't believe you tried to kill yourself over a woman! How did I end up with such a useless son?"

Yanis shot Matthew a glare. "Can you stop yelling at him? He just survived! Do you actually want him to die?"

Matthew had dark circles under his eyes, a clear sign that he'd been swamped for days and hadn't had a proper night's sleep.

He snapped, "It's all your fault for spoiling him! Thanks to you, his brain is filled with nothing but women! And now he even tried to kill himself over one? What a shame!"

His words set Yanis off. She shot Matthew a glare and retorted, "Thanks to me? Isn't he your son too? Have you ever actually been there for him? If anything, you're the one who failed as a father!"
