Chapter 1544

Outside the emergency room, Esther's mother was too overcome with grief to stand, collapsing onto the floor in tears.

"My only child... My only daughter..."

"Why would you do this to yourself? If you're gone, what am I supposed to do?"

Esther's father was the first to spot Miles. He stormed over, anger clear in his gaze. "Esther loved you so much. How could you break up with her?"

"Uncle, I thought about it, and we just weren't right for each other," Miles tried to explain.

Esther's father, aware of his daughter's long-standing affection for Miles, retorted sharply, "Not right for each other? Then why did you lead her on? You gave her hope only to crush it. How do you think my daughter can take that?!" "...I'm sorry."

That was all Miles could muster.

"Is your sorry going to make my daughter come out of there safe and sound?!"

Of course, it wouldn't.

Miles hadn't anticipated Esther's drastic reaction.
