Chapter 1663: Full of joy
The discussion with the Bennet men and Zoren didn't last long, as Atlas, Hugo, and Zoren had to leave. Meanwhile, Charles and Haines remained seated in the study room.
Neither Charles nor Haines dared to break the silence. Charles, in particular, just stared at the beaten face of his daughter without a word.
Charles knew that the incident was terrible. Haines' leg was proof that it had been terrible. However, he never expected it to be this bad. He felt sorry for Haines, but the latter was old and had always been mentally strong enough to carry on.
His daughter might've always been the resilient type, but as a parent, how could one expect Charles's heart to stay in one piece after seeing this?
Haines studied Charles's side profile and sighed.
"I'm sorry for not telling you earlier," he expressed. "I know Penny asked me to keep it from you and Allison, but in truth, I also wanted to keep it from you."
There were many reasons why Haines didn't think he should detail the incident to Charles. One of them was that Charles had been through a lot in the past, to the point where he almost completely lost his mind. Even when Charles never showed signs of relapsing, Haines had always been mindful of his state of mind.
Of course, Charles was mentally stronger now, especially after becoming a husband and a father of five wonderful children. Even so, Haines didn't want to take chances.
"I'm sorry, Charles," he repeated sincerely. "I didn't want you to find out this way."
Charles smiled bitterly as he peeled his gaze from the photo to look at Haines. "If there's someone to apologize, it should be me."
He let out a weary laugh, hanging his head low.
