Chapter 341

“You don’t have to sugarcoat it for me,” Neil chuckled in resignation. “Do you think I don’t know about your little scheme? You’re planning to leave after using me, aren’t you? You’re worried that I’ll invest too much and then can’t let you go.”

See, I’ve always said Neil would make a great psychologist.

The way he unveiled my intentions made me pretty awkward. Even though he didn’t spell it out, my cheeks were already burning.

Indeed, how could someone as clever as Neil be easily manipulated? He only got involved when he was willing to be used.

I didn’t say anything because at that point, anything I said would have seemed fake.

“I’ll arrange for you and your mom to see your dad in about three days. I’m still out of the country.” Neil didn’t ask me to admit anything; he just reassured me.

His thoughtfulness made me feel guilty.

Then I had to rely on the daily recollection of past tragedies and the lost child to remind myself to stay sane.

“Alright, I got it. Thanks.” I tried to sound confident, as if he were compensating me.

“No need to thank me. Even though I know you want to leave, I’ll try my best to change your mind.” Neil’s voice was calm and gentle.

I was speechless. I felt I didn’t need him to do anything. I was already starting to waver.

After a brief chat, I hung up the phone.

Neil had always been efficient. Three days later, my mom and I got to see my dad. Mostly they chatted, and I waited on the side.

My dad was not having a hard time there. In fact, his lifestyle was more regular than when he was working. As long as nobody deliberately targeted him, he took it as a vacation.

What bothered him was the bad reputation that prison had brought him. He had been framed, but there was no evidence to prove his innocence.

A man who had been innocent for decades ended up like that was heartbreaking.
