Chapter 681

Their eyes met across the table. Herschel was the first to break the silence. "Nigel, I'm sorry. I've let you down."

He took responsibility, his voice steady but soft. "I shouldn't have kept things from you, pretending it was for your own good. I should've realized sooner that, more than anything, what matters most to you is your family's love."

Herschel couldn't bear to see his son take the blame. After a pause, he said quietly, "It's not your fault. This is on me."
