You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1884: Taking One's Life Seriously

Several days later.

The Saunders family, in the villa community.

During this time, Vicki had taken care of the aftermath and settled everyone. At this moment, she stood in Reese's room.

Since the ordeal, Reese seemed to have aged several years; his body was not as robust as before. He lay in bed, alongside a cardiac monitor and an oxygen machine, requiring oxygen at any moment. Vicki had arranged for several senior caregivers to look after him at all times.

Reese looked up at Vicki. His face, wrinkled with age, expressed a mix of emotion and gratitude. "Vicki, I misunderstood you before. You have always had the best interests of the Saunders family at heart. I apologize to you."

Vicki crossed her arms. She had no patience for this kind of grateful talk.

Sighing, Reese said, "Ah, I never expected Fox to be such a deceitful woman, and I was blind to it. I've been reckless all my life. Now that I think back, only Felix's mother truly cared for me, and I let her down. It's hard on Felix; he's been wandering outside all these years, unwilling to come home or see me. It's all my fault. I know he resents me because of his mother. I was wrong; I deceived her before marriage, and I didn't wholeheartedly stay with her afterward. She was saddened and fell ill, and it's all my fault. Now I regret it. I truly apologize to her."

"People die, what's the use of saying all this now?" Vicki scoffed incredulously.

Reese was almost driven to frustration by Vicki's attitude. She was unrelenting in her scolding.

Vicki impatiently said, "Stop rambling and repenting afterward. Do you think it will make a difference to speak to me when you're dead? It's useless."
