Edgar let out a soft, self-mocking laugh.

"I always thought I was there for you, but the truth is, when you needed me the most, I was either absent or powerless..."

"Edgar!"

Sherilyn's heart skipped a beat, and she interrupted him sharply. "Stop it! It's not your fault. You weren't obligated to help me..." "Right."

Edgar nodded, his eyes intensely fixed on her.

"That's the thing... It's not my business... Huh, huh."

His laughter was laced with a mix of despair and determination.

"Sherilyn, let me ask you, when everything fell apart, did you think of reaching out to me?"

"..." Sherilyn was momentarily stunned, unable to respond.

"No, right?"

Edgar forced a bitter smile, "When you faced troubles, you never thought of me. What does that tell you?"

It was a hard truth he had to accept.
