The atmosphere in the car was warm and peaceful. The deep affection between Hector and Carol was evident, and after a while, Hector spoke up, his tone light yet firm. He had made a decision — he would retire and step away from all work responsibilities. In reality, the family business had long been under Brian’s management. However, given the massive scope of their business empire, Hector and Aron still remained involved in certain areas they were passionate about.

It wasn’t until your illness that I finally realized — I’ve been chasing the wrong things. I’m not getting any younger, Carol. From now on, all I want is to stay by your side and make sure we have no regrets left.”
